| 1 | Nasal congestion,seasonal allergies | Shortness of breath,palpitations,nausea,vomiting,extreme anxiety,shivers and insomnia. | First and last time using this terrible medicine that it doesn't includes any warning against the possible side effects. | F | 62 | 1 days 55 mcg x 2 1X day | 11/19/2020 | 1 | For Severe Congestion | Rapid heartbeat, severe nausea, feeling faint, panic attacks, severe anxiety, nervousness, complete loss of appetite, chest felt heavy,couldn't stop pacing the floors, ended up in the hospital. | Ended up in ER, and was told it was just a sinus infection..was given an injection of antibiotics and was told to take benadryl, sent home. Got worse, congestion was not as bad, but all the rest of the side effects increased and stayed and remained for four days. On the fifth day, was not as bad. Following Sunday, a week to the day, ended up in ER again; panic attacks, psychosis, paranoia was extremely, had never suffered from the above before I took Nasacort. Was kept over night did all types of blood work found nothing wrong with my blood or anything. Everything came out normal. Was diagnosed with severe anxiety, because all tests came back negative for anything else. Was put on ativan to treat anxiety. Still suffer from anxiety, the Ativan only takes off a little bit of the edge, I've lost six pounds in a week..and I still feel ill, appetite isn't 100%. Have bouts of depression..never been in the hospital before in my life..only when I gave birth to my children. Have been healthy all my life, workout eat right. I am so happy my daughter found this form, now I know what the source of my anxiety is stemming from, nasacort. And I have hope it will dissipate from my body completely in time, that it has not done any permanent damage, I pray. I wonder if this qualifies for a class action lawsuit, for it has changed my life and I do not know for how long this will remain. | F | 58 | 1 days | 12/25/2015 | 1 | Allergies | Instant vertigo, heart palpitations, Anxiety and lightheaded | Tried once and threw it in the trash, going back to Allegra | M | 38 | 1 days | 2/9/2016 | 1 | My throat is burning and its itching like a volcano errupted in there.Do not use at all cost. | F | 19 | 1 days | 4/3/2016 | 1 | Severe allergies | Panic attack , severe anxiety ( which is something I dealt with for a year but I was blessed to have not ever dealt with another panic attack in almost a year until I took this "poison" for a lack of better word. Sore throat. Severe cough ... | I'm happy to have read the comments on this site as I IMMEDIATELY THREW THIS DRUG AWAY AND WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE TOUCH IT AGAIN. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to my worsest enemy. HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. I ONLY TOOK IT ONCE and I as i am moving into the next night , I still feel mild anxiety but the side effects seem to be going away. I prefer to vote trump for President before I ever take this medicine again | M | 30 | 1 days 2 sprays | 4/8/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Took one dose last night and have been blowing my nose constantly ever since & severly congested and sore throat I feel worse after taking it. This is horrible😡 I only took it once and this happened!! | I don't recommend this product at all!! I feel like it made me sick!! I only took it once!!! | F | 40 | 1 days 55 | 7/13/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Within fifteen minutes of using product, experienced anxiety, shortness of breath and rapid heart rate. Several hours later, the symptoms have subsided but not completely. | After experiencing symptoms, I immediately research side of effects of Nasacort and found that my symptoms were common. I would rather deal with seasonable allergies than to use Nasacort. | F | 71 | 1 days 1X day | 11/10/2020 | 1 | mold allergies | Stinging sinuses, SEVERE BURNING SENSATION ALL OVER, tachycardia (racing heart) and skyrocketing blood pressure. | I made the terrible mistake of taking my very first dose of Nasacort at bedtime (one squirt per nostril). I'd wanted to sleep uncongested, and ClariSpray (fluticasone, same as Flonase) makes me very sleepy. I was a little surprised by the stinging effect of Nasacort in my nostrils, which I had not experienced with ClariSpray. However, the worst came about two hours after I'd gone to sleep - I woke up like MY WHOLE BODY WAS ON FIRE! AND MY EYES FELT SCALDED! It felt like I'd been dunked in sulfuric acid! My heart was racing and my blood pressure was soaring! I was fighting panic (how much of this was a natural reaction to this horrible awakening or worsened by the Nasacort, I don't know). But something kept telling me to squirt just one nostril with fluticasone (which I'm not so fond of for its own different side effects and wanted to switch to "something less potent" that I could wean off - was I ever wrong!) Within an hour, the burning skin and eyes were gone, and with the help of a xanax and an atenolol my BP and HR were back to normal. Feeling cool and calm again This Nasacort goes in the trash - for me, at least, it's pure poison. | M | 67 | 1 days 55 per nst 1X day | 8/9/2018 | 1 | Allergies/avoid sinus infection | Nausea within a few minutes. I tried to lay down and let it pass, only to projectile vomit repeatedly (6 or 7 times). I didn’t know I even had that much fluid in me to vomit. | Despicable. Didn’t combine it with anything. It made me vomit as if I had food poisoning. | F | 40 | 1 days 1 spray | 8/30/2019 | 5 | Allergy congestion | Horrible anxiety and it didn’t effectively clear my sinuses. Had a panic attack on this stuff. Never again. | M | 40 | 2 days 2 pumps | 4/4/2020 | 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 | 1/2/2009 | 4 | Severe sinus infection for 3 months | Anxiety, body aches, headache,flushing jitters, nause & dizziness . | I'm feeling much better. No sinus pressure. Will use again only when needed due to issues w side effects. | F | 37 | 2 days 50 MCG | 11/12/2014 | 3 | nasal decongestion | Teeth hurt and tenderness in face and gums | 51 | 2 days 2X day | 1/17/2015 | 3 | Sinus Congestion | Blood pressure increased from 118-122/68-72 lifetime average to 140/79 in 48 hours | Never had any issue with blood pressure prior to this medication. I will no longer use. | M | 61 | 2 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/26/2015 | 3 | Allergies, nose inflammation, cold. | Nasacort it’s horrible! I have bad anxiety, headache, nausea, sour throat, disconnected from reality, dizziness! | It help with my allergies and inflammation but I rather not use because all of the other side effects! It’s been 1 days since I haven’t used it and I’m still feeling the effects from it! | F | 42 | 2 days | 11/8/2019 | 2 | plugged ears/sinus infection | Extremely bad headache on Day 1, Neck stiffness and sore throat on Day 2. DISCONTINUED MEDICATION! | F | 26 | 2 days | 1/29/2009 | 2 | nasal allergies and inflammation | This medication worked well for my inflamed sinus passages but made me an emotional mess. I was either irritable or crying about little things that don't normally bother me and I know it was not due to PMS. Emotional side effects were not listed in the patient info. that came in the box. | If you are sensitive to other forms of steroids DO NOT use this nasal spray. I would rather have sinus problems than to not have friends and family. | F | 39 | 2 days 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | Nasal allergies | Gave me a terrible viral infection. The dose was two sprays in each nostril once a day. | Got severe headaches and then a viral infection. the infection spread to my lungs and I had to use two different inhalers to treat the ling problems. I've sick for a month and half since taking this drug. | M | 53 | 2 days 2 1X day | 7/25/2011 | 1 | allergies | I took for only two days before stopping. I had bad pain in my ear, throat, and neck - on left side only. Second day after stopping I still have a headache with surface nerve pain on left side of my head, stiff neck is easing, but still there. I do not like this medicine. | the alergies are better than the cure. | F | 46 | 2 days | 9/3/2009 | 1 | stuffy nose from indoor allergies | Just bought the new over the counter version of Nasacort nasal spray. Says it is the same strength as prescription. I have had stuffed up nose every night this winter (dust allergies) and thought I'd try it. First night I had a terrible back ache and foot muscles twitched a little, but could breath easier. By the evening of the second day, my hamstring muscle started twitching crazily for hours. | I plan to stop taking Nasacort because my side effects aren't worth a clear nose at night. My muscles are pretty sensitive, so this may not be a problem for you. But reading about the other side effects people are having, I would caution anyone before starting this drug which is now available without prescription! | F | 50 | 2 days 1X day | 2/21/2014 |
