When you sneeze so much after using nasal spray it's a result of a rebound effect.
A rebound effect of nasal spray can cause a bitter smell or taste, runny nose, nasal irritation such as burning and stinging and sneezing.
Rebound nasal congestion can take as long as 1 year to go away fully but the rebound nasal congestion should get better within 3 to 5 days or so of stopping the nasal spray.
The nasal spray that does not cause rebound is Flonase or other nasal steroid sprays that contain fluticasone.
Nasal spray can sometimes get you high if you use too much of it.
