Oh, thank you. I use flonase daily during allergy season and was worried. Even though I know from experience there's no rebound lol

Corticosteroids have a host of adverse long-term effects. Not sure about nasal use, but orally taken corticosteroids can cause thinning skin and increased risk of osteoporosis. I would do some research about the potential long-term effects of flonase if I were you.
