 1  allergies Typical steroid reaction--angry, agitated, jittery, anxious, unable to sleep. The stuff does work for allergies, but the steroids in it destroy the quality of life, so it's not worth it. WHen I get desparate, I use it in one nostril only, every other day, and the steroid meaness does not happen quite as fast. F 40 3 days

 4  allergies/headaches None. I've been using it for several years. It has helped alot. My nasal passages always felt swolen. Which seemed to cause headaches. It has helped with that. It seems to not work as well as it did when I first started on it. F 46 3 years

 1  for nasal congestion Horrible nose bleeds. Eventually, after 6 months of use, it deteriorated my septum so badly that I now have a large hole in it. There should be much more warning about necrosis to the septum. Doctors and the packaging itself should contain strict warnings about how to use the spray. I have been permanently damaged by this drug. F 32 6 months

 2  My daughter was in need of it. My daughter became very anxious, and quick to upset after using this medication only a few weeks. While it helps her congestion very much I think it is harmful to her emotional well being. F 37 30 days

 1  allergic rhinitis/congestion the major side effects were nosebleeds, dry nose and later perforated nasal septum! I have to wear a permanant nasal septum plug in my nose because the hole was too big to close up. my nose was whistling all the time!!If i knew the problems first i would have never used that!! F 30 1 years

 2  decongestent Within 5 minutes of using the drug I felt anxious and panicky. The next day (and last day) I used it I had a panic attack that sent me to the emergency room due to increased heart rate and very high blood pressure. Even though this probably is not a common side effect, it didn't work well for me. F 42 2 days

 3  allergies - post nasal drip After taking about a week,started today: painful pressure on sinuses; not like anything I've ever experienced. Also had bad headache when I woke up today. It did also seem to start decreasing the post nasal drip today F 53 7 days

 5  Chronic sinus headaches None at all This medication ended a six-month-long sinus headache. I LITERALLY had a throbbing headache for six months, and a week after I started this stuff, it was gone. I have a twinge in my head about once every few weeks, but other than that I've been very pleased. F 30 8 months

 4  Vasomotor rhinitis Poor sleeping, heat intolerance, rapid pulse -thyroid function fine. The applicator gives only 2/3 of the stated doses. This happens regularly with both the 120 and 240 dose vials. Most recent 240 dose vial gave 152 sprays before atomization ceased - the 120 dose vials used to give 70 doses maximum. People experiencing similar problems should file a formal report to the FDA in the USA or the Therapeutic Gooods Administration in Australia. AstraZeneca have been getting away with this for years. The product works well but the dosage must be very suspect. M 68 6 years

 2  Swollen Sinus from Allergy Increase in blood pressure from 120/76 to 162/94 Reduced swollen sinus, but the side effect out wheigh the advantages, also many Drs are unaware of the possible increase in blood pressure M 51 45 days

 1  allergies nose bleeds, nasal crusting, perforated septum After 3 months of use, we found that the crusting was hinding a hole in the septum of my nose. When I breathe I can hear it sort of whistling. It was great for the allergies, but totally not great for the hole. F 34 3 months

 1  Allergies/Headaches I have been using Rhinocort for about 2 months, and I am having difficulty breathing; feels like my throat is really tight, like someone is squeezing it, and feels like my heart skips a beat; like the air is being taken away from me. I have felt anxious; felt like I was having a panic attack. Has anyone else experienced this? Please e-mail me your comments. My son is 4 and has also been taking this drug. He seems fine, but I am still taking him off of it. F 32 2 months

 1  Allergies For the past week, I haven't been able to sleep well at all which is driving me crazy. And I have been having tightness in my sinus which is triggering headaches that would make me vomit. Also, I have been waking up with headaches. I have never experienced anything like this ever before. And the only medication I have been taking is Rhinocort every single day for about a month now. It did stop my sneezing in the morning. I would rather sneeze every single morning than having this crazy feeling from not sleeping five nights in a row now. Today, I stopped taking it--and vowed never to take it again. F 42
