Most Docs don't like one to be on cortisone for extended periods. Some
of the long term side effects are not nice.

I agree it's great for short term use for many ailments but beware of
staying on for extended periods.

Are they habit-forming like the decongestant nasal sprays?

Anyone who has ever felt the "rebound effect" of using nose spray too
much knows what I mean...

Like others have said, no rebound effect. I used to use Afrin when I was
really stopped up, but the next day was worse than the original problem.
The cortisone sprays are completely different. They take a few days to
become effective, but then it's like the pollen just disappeared - no
sneezing, no congestion. It's really been like magic for me since I found
out about them.
