 5  sneezing / stuffy and runny nose / nose bleeds easily. If you discontinue abrubtly, symptoms seems worse. nasacort works fast and gently to stop all my allergies. It seeemed to work better and didn't feel the side effects of flonase. Like they suggest, if you will stop it after at least 2 weeks, you should do so gradually. M 4 days

 1  Seasonal allergies I have bronchaiectasis, along with seasonal allergies. Nasacort was prescribed; it did more damage to my lungs, caused severe nosebleed and I ended up with infection which would not clear up and after two months, I was diagnosed with leukemia, with white cell count of 224,000. Nasacort may or may not have caused my problem but I strongly reccomend that anyone with bronchaiectasis not use it. F 70 2 weeks

 3  allergies I really liked Nasacort but after seven years it seemed to be losing its effectiveness, and I had increasingly severe and frequent panic attacks and occasional dizziness. When I stopped using the spray, the panic attacks subsided. I don't know why panic attacks are not listed as a side effect of this drug. F 34 7 years
5/23/2005
 4  Seasonal allergies More prone to VERY slight nosebleeds; mild stimulant effects in the first week of treatment which made it more difficult to sleep. Compared to the horrible side effects of Flonase, Nasacort really seems like a good choice. It works wonders on allergy symptoms with very minimal side effects. After the first week, I cut my dose in half and still had no allergies. M 34 3 weeks

 1  allergies after about 2 weeks of using nasacort i expierienced very bad panic attacks,my doctors office tells me that that shouldn't be possible,however i have never previously had any type of panic disorder.i'd rather have a stuffy nose than ever go through the severe anxiety or panic attacks i suffered while using this. M 39 3 weeks

 2  Nasal Polyps Nasacort seemed to reduce the swelling of my nasal polyps, but I began having panic attacks. I never suffered from anxiety before, and when I stopped using Nasacort the attacks stopped too. F 48 2 years

 1  Chronic Rhinitis & Indoor Allergies It is making my nose more stuffy/runny than before, along with a sore throat, headaches, dry mouth, and some numbness along the left side of my face. Did I mention the joint pain? It seems as though every ache I've ever had has come back all at once. Then there is the depression. Not too bad, but I definitely do not feel like myself since I began this treatment. If this is what I am to expect from other allergy medicines then I think I would rather suffer the bad effects of the allergies themselves. M 50 90 days

 5  Nasal allergies None I only stopped because of the various side effects and warnings on leaflet, but I myself did not experience any side effects and thought it worked well from the very first dose. F 46 30 days
3/18/2007
 1  Seasonal Allergies Anxiety, panic attacks (at night), slight depresssion, just not myself, Former aches in joints returned, agitated. I never would have connected the medication to these symptoms. I use allergy medicine in spring and fall and thought it was just the change of seasons. I have used nasacort for a number of allergy seasons and never made the connection, but all went away when I stopped using it. M 48 14 days

 3  allergies Anxiety Not certain it was Nasacort because taking Allegra also; but after reading comments, I feel more certain it is the Nasacort. Anxiety usually starts early in the morning, about an hour after inhalation and seems to wear off during the evening. I take another inhalation at night and go to bed shortly afterwards. I feel a little anxious in the morning, but more so about an hour after inhaling. M 48 2 months

 1  allergy/sinus problems Amazing HEADACHE....it feels like my forehead is going to explode. My whole head and neck hurt so bad, I can't stand it without Ibuprofen. I am stopping this med asap. F 33 5 days
4/1/2008
 2  sinus infection symptoms helped clear congestion, but that is largely outweighed by multiple nosebleeds in the last two days. have given up product after a week taking only one to two sprays per day, in the same nostril that is affected. M 25 6 days
7/30/2008
 4  allergies/swollen nasal passage After using 4 days, developed moderate sore throat. Have continued use and still have mild sore throat. Have had deviated septum surgery 3 times and still can't breathe through nose without use of this product. F 55 3 weeks
11/13/2008
 5  Nasal allergies/severe congestion I still irrigate my nose with a saline product and sometimes there will be some blood during irrigation, but nothing serious. I found this product to be extremely helpful in clearing my congestion. I try to get off it from time to time to give my sinuses a "break." The longest I have used it at one time was about four months. F 38 4 months
11/14/2008
 1  sinus infection and fluid in ear fullness and pressure in the ears and throat, headaches,metallac taste in my mouth, and joint pain I will not take this again. The side effects are far greater than any benefit. F 58 2 weeks
11/24/2008
 1  allergies/plugged sinuses Headaches everyday, extremely sore neck, anxiety and uncontrollable twitching eye lid(probably from the anxiety)and getting worse each day The first day I used this med. it helped me breath much better but as the week has gone on the side effects are overwhelming. I feel like I aged 5 years in the last week and I'm sore all over. The eyelid twitching has gotten out of control. The first few days it would only happen once and hour or so but now it is almost non-stop. I researched this and it says it is most likely caused by stress. HUMMMM... I feel like I have to be doing something at every minute of the day, this must be while I feel like I have uncontrolled anxiety built up. I also have had a non-stop headache since I started taking this medicine to the point that I have to take some extra strenght motrin each day to cope with it. I will stop using this med. and see if I start to feel like myself again. F 36 8 days

 4  allergic rhinitis None so far I have used this product 3 times total and for the past 2 days. I have outdoor, indoor and food allergies, especially to milk, cheese etc. Lately I have been experiencing some bad attacks of allergic rhinitus with sinus pain being the predominant symptom which is felt in all 4 of my sinuses. I feel the product helped somewhat but only helped in the nasal area and not deeper in my sinuses. Usually when I have an attack I have to let it go it's course which is 2 to 3 days. From reading these reviews I will definitely be careful not to over use this product. F 44 2 days
