> I use a prescription steroid nose spray called Nasocort. It works very well and is safe for long term use unlike the OTC nose sprays. Ask your doc.
Nasocort is a steroid nasal spray. It wouldn't cause any problems with Nardil. (I took Beconase, a similar product, for allergies when I was on Nardil.) Steroids won't necessarily be good decongestants, though. Afrin is safe to use too, and it will directly address nasal congestion. (If you're really neurotic about MAOI interactions :-) then you might want to monitor your BP the first few times you try it.)
