How To Get Back Smelling Sensation While On Imigran Nasal Spray For Migraine?

I use Imigran nasal spray for migraine 2-3 times a week. I ve noticed I cant smell some aromas anymore, including the Imigran which was very strong the first time I used it. I also cant detect garlic, lemon mertyl, sweat and onion. I can smell many things just fine like peppermint and vinegar .. will my smell return do you think?
