Is nasal spray really addictive?

Not addictive in the sense that you wake up in the morning jonesing for a hit of nasal spray; but your nose will become resistant to its effects and you'll keep needing more for the same effect.

You are probably addicted if you have been on it for a month. \n\nCoach

Nicotine, and it is extremely addictive.  It is also one of the strongest insecticides known to man.  It is a POISON.

When my hubby and I first got married, we lived in a dusty little apartment. Well, my nose was constantly stuffy. I started using a nasal spray as well, and even after my cold symptoms disappeared, I couldn't live without the spray. At night, my nose would always become stuffy. I really think I became addicted to the spray. Well, eventually, I had to stop cold turkey. But now, if I get a cold followed by runny nose, I use "Simply Saline." It is the best. It clears the nose, moisturizes, and is non-habit forming. I am no doctor, and your friend certainly needs to make an appointment to see his, but I would recommend that you tell your friend to stop using the spray and use "Simply Saline." It is nothing but pure saltwater. It will clear his nose just as effective as his current spray.

I too suffer allergies until mid June or so. At night I was recommended Benadryl or the generic Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride. It makes me sleepy, not recommended during the day. Claritin is non drowsy, but more expensive for day use. I highly recommend staying away from nose sprays. They work great, but are real easy to get addicted to. I did. I don't mean you will crave them, just that you can need them to unstuff your nose even after the allergy goes away. I had to go to a specialist to get off of them and had to have surgery. I have since read a lot of people have gone through this and had problems. I hope this helps. Good luck.

No but it makes you hyper...not addictive though

I personally would not.  Anything like Relacore can become addictive.  You are best to stay away from that stuff.  It's not good for you.  If you are looking to cure stress, try something natural.

Well, there appears to be some controvery about this.  While some people swear by the stuff, others say that it has no real effect on overcoming a cold.  \nHere are some links, one of which is from a National Institute of Health study.  I hope these help you decide whether to head to the health store or not.

well of all the "not so great things" ive taken, lol, vicodan seems to be my favorite. its a nice numb-ish sedate\nfeeling that goes great w/a glass of wine.\nhowever, its pretty addicting, ecspecially for a person with\nan addictive like personality. i personally stoppped although its easy to get, just because, i dont want to be doing that kind of stuff on a daily business. so as for now,\nim clean as a whisle!

First, he is addicted to the Afrin, and must stop.  After using Afrin for three days, you get a rebound effect and it actually causes swelling in the nasal passages.  He should switch to plain normal saline nose spray to cleanse his tissues, he will be stuffy for a few days, but that is better than destroying his nasal tissue.\nExercise would be good for him, you can offer to go with him, you can provide exercise equipment at home and still exercise with him.  But when it comes down to it, he has to care enough about himself and you and your future to actually do the work.

i dont really have your answer, but please keep in mind - methadone is addictive in itself.  I work in the drug and alcohol field and some of our clients list methadone as a drug of choice besides heroin.

Breathe Right nasal strips worked wonders for my husband! They are cheap and available at any drugstore. Amazingly simple concept but it works! It's a good start before trying anything more serious/expensive!

No, don't be a quitter. Women don't like quitters. I say just keep tissues with you at all times like I do. Actually for more convenience stuff cotton balls in your nostrils..........wait that would hinder the snorting a bit......
