Yes, nasal spray is addictive. I used it for nearly 3 years multiple times a day and it continued to only get worse. Eventually it didn't work at all, so i quit cold turkey. If you can stand not breathing through your nose for at least a week then i advise you to stop using it. If used more than a week everyday, you will need it just to breath through your nose. Trust me.

All nasal sprays are addictive in that they will keep sinus's congested unless you continue to use them. Most nasal spray's have a warning for you to not use them for more than 3 days in a row. Once you are hooked on nasal spray the only way to get off of them is to just quit using them. That is easier said than done. I can't sleep well if I can't breathe through my nose so it's hard to quit using them once you start.

If you have had four nosebleeds some in the back of the throat that you believe have been caused by the dry air where you live should you use a nasal spray like Afrin?

It is not uncommon to develop nose bleeds and ear problems when relocating to a place that has a very dry climate. The high altitude also plays a significant part. You would be much better off with a saline nasal spray. Afrin will only dry the mucus membranes of the nose out further. If you don't improve within 7-10 days or if your condition worsens. It would be a good idea to consult a doctor.
