HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Formonide inhalor contains a combination of budesonide and formoterol.

Neither of these drugs are classified as having the potential to addiction.
This means that the relaxation that you are experiencing after the use of this medication is purely psychological, the drug itself is not doing it.

If possible , you need to find something else that relaxes, for example a hobby. You may also benefit from learning relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.

If it is difficult to do this on your own, you can consider speaking to your doctor.

I hope this helps
