| 2 | year round allergies | I've been using some form of nasal steroid spray for 17 years. It wasn't until I tried Flonase that I had a sharp increase in mood swings, anxiety, etc. However, I only started panic attacks after starting the nasal sprays, and developed chronic fatigue syndrome. I've battle weight gain and depression in turns. Dumped the Flonase to go back to Rhinocort and am now trying to wean off that as well. I don't necessarily see where it improves my sinus condition since I still get sinus infections and when allergy seasons are bad, I still get a lot of post nasal drip. | I'm having a wicked time weaning off. Rebound congestion, rivers of post nasal drip and a cough. However, if there's any chance this and similar drugs could be contributing to the cfs, I'm off it. | F | 46 | 17 years | 2/11/2007 | 5 | Nasal allergies | Slight blood when blowing nose. Subsides when saline spray is used. Mostly in winter. | I was taking Benadryl to sleep at nite and behind the counter Sudafed during the day. Rhinocort got me off all that. I have been a new person since. 16 years is a long time to use something. Lately when I get post nasal drip I sometimes get a hard tiny chunk of something I have to dispose of. Will consider going off of it and try Claritin or something. | F | 65 | 16 years I x day | 10/22/2019 | 3 | Allergies. Runny nose all seasons. | I have lost my sense of smelling and sleep. But I can't leave without this. | F | 43 | 15 years 1X day | 5/15/2010 | 4 | Chronic Allergy & Sinus Infections | Hole in/Perforated Septum | The drug worked great for what it was prescribed. Unfortunately the side effect from long term chronic use (never abused) forced me to stop using it a few years ago. I suffered from the feeling of constant sinus 'congestion' from inflammation for quite some time (many months-almost a year) after stopping use. | F | 36 | 12 years 1X day | 1/4/2016 | 5 | allergies | I can breathe! | I have tried many things over the years, to some extent helpful, or not. After sinus surgery, my ENT said he would not continue to treat me unless I continued to take the meds, and this one has worked, along with the pulmicort for lungs. | F | 53 | 10 years | 6/12/2008 | 1 | Dust Mite Allergies | Racing heatbeats and anxiety I can guarantee. Other side effects are harder to be sure of but I wouldn't rule out sleep problems and a general dizzyness/unfocussed feeling. | Have taken this drug on and off for probably around 10 years to 'help' my congested nose and improve my skin problems(dermatitis) - generally at a change of season. You'll all be familiar with the taste as it dribbles down the back of yr throat for a few minutes after taking it. Currently looking for a natural alternative... | M | 35 | 10 years | 2/23/2009 | 3 | rhinitis air bourne allergies | This worked at first very well. I was told to use it with Bactroban, a cream antibiotic to smear in both nasal passages. But I still developed the bleeding sores and bloody boogies. Finally, worried about a hole in my septum, I stopped taking it on one nostril for a week and then stopped using it in the second nostril. I am all stuffed up again, feeling spacey, headachey, unwell. | Rhinocort worked to lessen the effects of Rhinitis and stuffiness. It never stopped the nasal dripping - getting off ALL types of dairy produce stopped the dripping. The problem with the bleeding must be taken seriously, however - | F | 67 | 9 years 64 1X day | 3/4/2014 | 5 | allergies to pet dogs | no negative side effects | i lived with severe allergy attacks to pet dogs for several years. went on rhinocort and cured! have been taking it for @8-9 years. if i forget to take it for a couple of days sneezing, running stuffy nose start. | F | 37 | 8 years | 3/7/2009 | 5 | dust mite allergies | I started Rhinocort about 8 - 9 years ago and take it daily. It was a miracle with absolutely no adverse side effects. | I tried Flonase, but got a bloody nose; I tried Nasocort and Nasonex but one of these gave me a sore throat (managable but worrisome) and the other was not effective for me. One thing I have learned with other medications is that if you have any horomone deficiencies or imbalances, that could explain weird or atypical or rare side-effects. My hypothyroidism and other hormone issues are the reason I reacted (and still react) so horrifically to so many medicines. Just a thought. I love Rhinocort. Except for the minor inconvenience of having to use it twice a day, I generally forget that I even have allergies! It was a God send!!! Anything weird with your health in conjunction with low energy, weight gain, hair thinning...suspect hypothyroidism!!! It could explain strange reactions to various medications. | F | 52 | 8 years | 12/26/2007 | 5 | nasal blocjage | slight nasal bleeding in winter | Miracle drug. My nose used to get blocked solid, but still runny. Drove me crazy! This helped greatly with minimal side effects, that I notice anyway. It has no odor, unlike some others which I find repulsive. | M | 56 | 8 years 64 1X day | 3/15/2013 | 5 | Chronic Rhinitis | None | Excellent results for me. I can breath through my nose, which allows me to enjoy food, sleep better at night breathing through my nose and not my mouth (it has reduced my snoring). My allergic nasal symptoms are gone. | M | 41 | 7 years | 4/1/2007 | 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 | 5/16/2005 | 1 | allergies | I've been on Rhinocort for 6 years, I now have yeast infections that are hard to cure and I used this ONLY when needed and never figured out the connection until reading others responses to this drug. I have had panic attacks, aches, roscea, major sleep loss, you name it has happen and not one doctor told me ANY of THOSE side affects. Also, there is a drug interaction with any fungus medications. The doctors that prescribed these meds DID know that I was on Rhinocort, but they never get on the internet apparently... I now know why my quality of life has been so poor, thanks to Rhinocort. | M | 43 | 6 years | 8/5/2008 | 2 | Allergy | For many years this drug completely eliminated my allergies and sinus troubles. It even seemed to help prevent colds. I did occasionally get nosebleeds and dry nasal passages but nothing serious. Out of the blue I developed a severe reaction to the drug, with extreme heart pounding and very fast racing heart. It felt as my heart had completely gone out of control. Very scary. I bought a new batch thinking that somehow the batch was not good, All in all I tried 3 times with 3 different refills but the reaction remained the same. this was some years ago, i now use an electronic light device to block allergies. I would use great caution in using this medicine. It's unclear to me if the formula was changed. | F | 59 | 5 years 2X day | 12/2/2012 | 2 | allergies | hole in septum | It worked great to reduce allergy symptoms but after years of use I have a big hole in my septum right through to the other nostril. | F | 52 | 5 years | 4/7/2009 | 2 | hayfever | heart palpitations, racing heart | I had taken Rhinocort successfully for 5 years for hayfever. After a bout of shingles I started getting a very fast heart rate to the point of complete exhaustion. A few weeks later worrying heart palpitations started. After 6 weeks and many doctor ordered tests, I made the connection myself and went off Rhinocort. The racing heart slowed within 3-5 days, the palpitations eased after 3-5 weeks. I now feel like I have more energy than I've had in years. I am taking an antihistamine for the hayfever. | F | 42 | 5 years | 4/23/2009 | 1 | Hayfever for over 5 years | I have been using long time. Maybe 5 years. I was fine for maybe 4 years and now i feel i am smeling some kind of burning smell or smell of smoke around my nose. I found out it was from rhynocoat. It has been like this few months. I have not using it for few months but i still have that problem...smelling something burning. I am afraid it is not gonna go away... | Do not use long period. I was told by my GP doctor it does not have side effect but it does not it. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 2 OR 3 YEARS. | M | 44 | 5 years I spary | 5/5/2017 | 4 | nasal pollups | insomnia and occasional nose bleeding. | This is not one of the stated side effects but spraying the nose at night is not a good idea for me. I will go to a.m. | M | 61 | 4 years | 9/27/2006 | 5 | allergies | F | 45 | 3 years | 10/26/2008 | 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 | 9/7/2002 |
