| 1 | Allergies | Anxiety and nausea. I believe this drug gave me an ulcer, which caused severe nausea for a couple of months. Very bad situation! | Would never recommend this drug to anyone, especially someone with a sensitive stomach or adrenal issues. | F | 50 | 8 weeks 30 mg 2X day | 9/30/2023 | 4 | Allergies | After about a month, I began experiencing minor stomach discomfort and indigestion. I also was putting on weight. Within the last month, I have had several itchy rashes occur on different parts of my body (mainly neck and chest). 2 days ago I cut back the dose to 1 pump in just 1 nostril. The rash that had been driving me crazy for a few days seems to be going away. | This product worked wonders for my allergies, but the reactions I've had are not really worth the relief. I hope a 1/2 dose will help to reduce my allergy symptoms during the spring, while alleviating the side effects. After that, I plan to stop taking the drug. | F | 59 | 10 weeks 1per nost. 1X day | 4/8/2015 | 5 | seasonal allergies | Definately helped my stuffy nose and seasonal allergies. A bonus for me is that I have suffered with dry eye syndrome for a couple of years. I couldn't afford the Restasis treatment. Surprisingly after starting Nasocort, i noticed my affected eye no longer weeps at night and swells. Very happy. | F | 42 | 1 months 1 x D | 6/24/2014 | 3 | Seasonal Allergies | Helped with allergy sumptoms but caused debilitating headaches both day and night. | F | 41 | 1 months 1 spray | 5/21/2014 | 1 | regular seasonal allergies | Extreme nerve pain in my face, I had to shut all lights off. It would come in waves always increasing in length, I wrote the makers of it and described what was happening and never heard back. I'm sure it was like 1-1000000 chance that anyone reacts to it that way. I can say this it was the only relief I've ever gotten from my allergies but obviously the pain was debilitating couldn't speak, drive or move for that matter | M | 29 | 1 months 110 | 4/30/2015 | 1 | Clogged Nose | insomnia, vomiting, vertigo, psychosis (loss of self), numbness, shortness of breath, anxiety, panic attack, fever, mood swings | This sh* is horrible. I would not recommend it even on my enemy. I thought I was dying one night. I actually had brief thoughts of suicide. I was thinking to myself -- God, this is what it is like. First off, I was using Nasacort while I was interviewing for a job. Thus, I thought the anxiety and stress was from the job. When I got the job, which I dreamed of, I wasn't so happy, and I was still stressed. For the month I was using the drug, I suffered fever as well as vertigo. I threw up 6 times after only 3 beers --- I knew something was off. Currently, I am experiencing numbness, but I remain optimistic that it will subside soon. Definitely threw Nasacort in the garbage. I think because I naturally suffer from shortness of breath, the Nasacort opened my lungs and worked as prescribed. However, I was so used to breathing a certain way that when I took Nasacort, I felt a shortness of breath, and it felt like I was not taking complete breaths. | M | 26 | 1 months 55 1X day | 6/30/2015 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | dizziness, difficulty breathing, blurred vision, tingling extremities, panic | wish I had read more about this medicine before using | M | 37 | 1 months 220mcg 1X day | 5/3/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Horrible anxiety,racing heart,dizziness,"food rage" stomach upset | I've used this off and on throughout the years,now I know why I quit,,I'd rather be stuffed up! | F | 44 | 1 months 55 ng | 11/7/2017 | 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 | 8/28/2007 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | I've had 3 nosebleeds in the past 30 hours. I'm not sure it's the Nasacort but I've never in my 42 year had a nosebleed until now. | I had horrible spring allergies this year and Nasacort has been the only med that helped, until the nosebleeds. I've skipped two doses now and my allergies are coming back so I know it did work, but not worth the nosebleeds. | F | 42 | 2 months 1 spray 1X day | 6/19/2014 | 1 | Nasal stuffiness at night | Facial numbness: the whole left side of my face started tingling and felt numb like when novocaine is wearing off. My internist was concerned about stroke and ordered a brain scan (MRI) which was normal. My facial numbness has mostly gone away now 2 weeks after discontinuing Nasacort Allergy 24HR. I cannot be positive my symptoms were the Nasacort, but I fairly strongly believe it was. | It worked very well in decongesting me at night; it was superior to fluticasone (Flonase). However, nothing is worth a numb face and worrying about a stroke; it was extremely disconcerting. | M | 66 | 2 months 2 sprays 1X day | 7/8/2014 | 1 | severe allergies | M | 47 | 2 months 1 dailey | 7/25/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergies, Sinus headaches | Subconjunctival Hemorrhage (Broken blood vessel in eye). Decreased night vision. | I have normal/low blood pressure and am very athletic. When lifting heavy items which I commonly do I noticed one day that half of the white of one of my eyes was filled with blood. Never in my life has this happened and all of a sudden I started popping blood vessels in my eyes. I also noticed my night vision (while driving) was decreasing, this started before I started popping blood vessels in my eyes. I figured out it had to be the Nasacort and stopped using it, soon after my night vision returned to normal and I haven't popped any more blood vessels in my eyes. | M | 48 | 2 months 1X day | 8/8/2014 | 1 | allergies/cough at night | This drug, after not even using it as much as doctor's recommendations, gave me a perforated septum. I have two holes in my septum which will eventually have to be repaired by major surgery. And this happened in two months. | I would NEVER use this drug again and I'm surprised it's still on the market after reading all of the comments. | F | 61 | 2 months 2sprays2xd 2X day | 1/16/2011 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Dizzy head pain, stiff neck, tremors in head, stomach problems, insomnia | F | 65 | 2 months 30 | 1/9/2018 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | I had two very scary episodes of heart palpitations in the middle of the night after taking this medicine before bed. Like, gym-shoes-in-the-dryer pounding, for many minutes...not just a couple of off beats. Super scary. Then, I've found it interesting to read about tooth and gum pain as I've experienced that as well as headaches, sneezing, dripping, weight gain, etc. Seems steroids and I don't get along! Will not continue this drug. | F | 59 | 2 months 2 squirts 1X day | 1/23/2024 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none that were noticeable enough to be bothersome | this has freed me from always taking OTC allergy meds with me, seems to work faster and longer than other Rx meds too | F | 26 | 3 months | 7/30/2002 | 4 | Severe indoor and outdoor allergies | I have tried many allergy medications with no success. I saw a commercial for nasacort and decided to give it a try and it works wonders. I do have a dry nose and occasional sores, but that is worth it to finally have some allergy relief. I realize that a lot of the posts on here talk about the terrible side effects, but keep in mind that people usually only post things when they have a complaint, there are many more satisfied customers than unsatisfied ones. Nasacort really works and is worth a try if your allergies are as bad as mine. | F | 21 | 3 months 1x | 7/28/2014 | 4 | I have cats and hardwood allergies | I haven't really had any noticeable side effects. It has not affected my personality or made me gain weight or any of the crazy side effects I have read here. I already had cataracts so I can't blame Nasacort for them. :) I already had problems with a stiff neck on occasion. I do make sure I never take more than prescribed. 2 squirts a day in each nostril and I do it only 4 days a week, sometimes 5 and I keep my nose moisturized with Alcolol. I'm glad I don't have all of the side effects other people have experienced as I need this real bad. I have 10 cats and I didn't use to be allergic to them. The allergy is mild but enough that I get stuffed up. I'm just thankful it doesn't effect me badly but I will pay close attention to any and all possibilities in the future. | F | 61 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 5/18/2014 | 3 | Runny nose, watery eyes, post nasal | I was thrilled to find something that relieved my symptoms but didn't make me sleepy but then noticed I had an intermittent fever and dizziness. Stopped taking nasacort and symptoms subsided. Started again and they returned, so I can only guess it's side effects of the spray. I'm so bummed now I have to go back to runny everything unless I can find something that doesn't have side effects. | Any recommendations? | F | 54 | 3 months | 11/14/2014 |
