| 4 | Night-time nasal congestion | Sudden and intense tooth/nerve pain. Have just suddenly developed toothpain, which I hought it was just due to worn enamel. The pain has generally across my front teeth, which I thought odd. Then, day before yesterday, the pain was only on and above the left, front, top couple of teeth. Yesterday, my teeth had not been hurting all day, but immediately developed severe tooth pain on and above the right front teeth, immediately after using Nasacort last night! FYI-I am at the very last sprays in the bottle, so it may be too concentrated...don't know. | Nasacort has worked very well in relieving my nasal congestion, and I hate that I may have to stop using it, due to tooth pain. | F | 56 | 31 days 1X day | 9/13/2016 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | I bought the over the counter Nasacort 24 hour that is supposed to be prescription strength for allergies. I had muscle soreness, extreme fatigue, insomnia, vision changes but the worst was depression. It took me awhile to figure out it was the Nasacort doing this to me.The symptoms are starting to go away and I will never that Nasacort again. | F | 39 | 40 days 55 MCG 1X day | 7/23/2014 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | Nose bleeds | Seems to work well to keep my nose and sinuses clear. Will cut back to every other day to help prevent nose bleeds. | F | 56 | 45 days 55mcg 1X day | 4/28/2014 | 3 | Seasonal Allergies | At first the medication worked well, and greatly improved my seasonal allergy symptoms. I was really hapy with how much better I felt. The second month of using it, 1 squirt each nostril per day, I developed aching neck, back, some dizziness and tingling in my legs and feet. I stopped taking the medication and these symptoms stopped. | I am disappointed that the medication only worked for me without uncomfortable side effects for a short time. | F | 46 | 53 days 1X day | 5/23/2014 | 2 | Sinus congestion | Joint pain, fatigue, bad depression, insomnia | F | 90 days 50 mcg 2X day | 4/2/2023 | 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 | 1/15/2007 | 4 | To open my sinuses. | I occasionally experience diziness and then I cut back on the dosage. | I've tried Nasonex, Flonase, and Nasacort. All three are very similar and of course Nasacort has the best pricing. If I don't take a cortisteroid I develop sinus headaches so I try to manage them with this type of drug. Overall it has been a good solution but your body might not agree. Good luck! | M | 53 | 150 days 1X day | 12/15/2015 | 1 | Congestion | I have never been so irritated in my life even the fan that was running irritated me. Made me very snappy and picked fights with everyone, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, very bad anxiety, depression, you name it , it happened. I'll stick with my navage, also could hear my pulse in my head, dizzy and nauseated ! | F | 38 | 0 weeks I spray 1X day | 9/28/2021 | 5 | seasonal allergies | abdominal cramping & diarrhea | I have had terrible seasonal allergies since I was a child. Taking over the counter medicines all these years offered a small amount of relief. Nasacort WORKS! Wish I'd had it available years ago. | M | 54 | 1 weeks once daily | 2/4/2016 | 2 | Swollen sinuses | First two days, I felt O.K. and noticed very little watering of my eyes and drainage into my throat; however, after those two days, I felt cloudiness in my thinking and low in spirit. When I stopped using Nasacort, I felt like my normal self again. | I believe Nasacort helps with the allergies, but for some people, there are side effects. | F | 74 | 1 weeks | 6/10/2009 | 1 | To clear up congestion from virus | Increased congestion and runny nose, sore irritated throat, headache, body aches, weight loss, dry mouth, increased heartburn and stomach upset, burning eyes, catch viruses really easily, makes any existing viral infection worse, agitation/anxiety, low mood, emotional | I've tried it a few times now. Each time I get the same side effects. Then when I stop it I feel better and like me again. Don't take it when you have a virus. It made my virus worse. Made my nasal passages swell shut/severe congestion. It also makes me catch other viruses more easily. Some people are just more sensitive to steroids than others I think even at the lower dosages. I took it to clear up congestion from bad virus but it made my congestion and symptoms worse. I'd rather have a severely congested nose and drink milk shakes until I can breathe normally again than take this. | F | 38 | 1 weeks 2X day | 2/12/2016 | 3 | Practically continuous allergies | Tightness in chest, wheezing (especially at night). Dry cough. | This drug was truly a Miracle for me, it Completely eliminated ALL of my allergy symptoms = I rarely am able to breathe through my nose at all, sinus drainage, itchy eyes, sneezing. Nasacort changed my life...for a couple weeks. Then I began to have symptoms of a person who smokes 3 packs a day, I had periodic wheezing spells, and it began to interrupt my sleep so I had to quit. Very Sad. I have been off it a week, and symptoms are finally fading. I may try it again during worst part of Spring. Good luck, I hope it works for you. | M | 49 | 2 weeks 1 spray ea 1X day | 6/2/2015 | 2 | stuffy, runny nose & coughing | It affected the nerves mostly on the left side of my face where I had some cheek twitching and numbness; severe eye twitching, jaw and gum discomfort, funny taste in my mouth; left side of my lips had tingling sensation like when novacaine wears off. | I used Nasacort years ago with no side effects. Used it again some last year and had headaches, but didn't link it to this. Then I used it this year for 2 weeks and had the full blown problems listed. Thought it was a sinus or dental problem. Have had x-rays, CT, doctor & dentist visits and stopped using it during that time. The problems subsided and the day after I started using it again they came back. Stopped using it and the side effects have subsided again. It's too bad since it worked great on my runny nose and coughing, but I can't live with feeling like I've had a stroke or am doing permanent damage to myself. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 4/4/2009 | 2 | Seasonal Allergies | After a few days, I developed wheezing when I took a deep breath. I began to experience trouble breathing, especially at night and during exercise. I also developed a dry cough. | F | 36 | 2 weeks 2 Sprays 1X day | 5/29/2019 | 1 | Allergy congestion | Increased heart rate, chills, fever, sore throat, tremors, bruising, anxiety, bad taste, nervous, insomnia, worse congestion, etc. | I will never take this again. This is horrible medicine. Stopped talking immediately 3 days ago and still having side effects. Do NOT take this. I do Not recommend. | F | 2 weeks 2X day | 3/3/2023 | 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 | 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 | 7/17/2004 | 1 | upper respiratory congestion | intense headache in right forehead. Little relief from Excedrin with tylenol. Ice packs provided symptomatic relief. Loud ringing in left ear. | Seemed to help condition, but had to discontinue due to headaches. Doctor never mentioned possible side effects and I will not take any drug from this point on without thoroughly understanding side effects. | M | 65 | 2 weeks 1X day | 3/14/2010 | 1 | Allergies, swollen sinuses | Very Anxious feelings, near panicking for no reason based in reality, some insomnia | I am not even sure that it reduced the swelling of my sinuses so it's NOT worth the awful side effects. | F | 37 | 2 weeks 1xnostril 1X day | 4/3/2015 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | For the first few days of taking Nasacort, I was really impressed with how my allergies immediately cleared (and I had pretty miserable allergies). I started getting a sharp headache in my temples and eyes which continued for days and days. Advil or ibuprofen did nothing to help, nor did sleep. Still have the headache; it's kept me bed-ridden, kept me from working and made me feel sooo tired. I also noticed soreness and stiffness in my neck, back and legs, which gets even worse after exercise. Makes me feel so much older than I am! | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 6/12/2014 |
