 4  3 month sinus infection Headaches and rapid heart beat and insomnia if taken late. I am a bit foggy at times but I also put part of that as going through menopause. It worked wonders even though the side effects were bad, it was better being able to breath. I'm beginning to stop using the OTC nasal sprays now after about 20 years of using them and will slowly decrease using Rhinocort. I am satisfied as I was suffering way worse before taking it. Just make sure you drink lots of water daily and only spray once in each nostril as soon as they are open to breath in. F 43 5 days

 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

 1  Allergic Rhinitis Leg pain, Hand and feet chills, loss of appetite, severe behaviour change: normally emotionally calm son became angry, extremely touchy, anything made him upset, started having temper, which he had never had before. Usually he calms down from any upsets or disappointments with hugs and empathy, but while taking Rhinocort 32 mg was inconsolable. I realized that he started this behaviour a few days after beginning Rhinocort. We discontinued and his behaviour changed back within 2-3 weeks or so. This medication was prescribed for my 4.5 year-old son, who has had Allergic Rhinitis. While it seemed to help with those symptoms, the effect on my son's mood and emotions was frightening. Allergies seem to be better but scared about the side effects. M 4.5 3 weeks

 3  maxilliary sinus 2ndary infection Extremely uncomfortable and regular acid reflux, headaches all through my neck and head (not just sinuses), which makes it difficult to focus and be productive in any way. The side effects go away within 24 hours of ceasing the spray but return very quickly after its taken again. This very expensive ($35/mo) product seems to have some good effect of decongesting my sinuses and allowing mucous to get washed out with sinus rinsing. So it was great for that. But these new side effects are intolerable. M 27 3 weeks

 1  severe nasal congestion, allergies Nose started bleeding after 2 days. Dry nose, daily headaches, weight gain. Massive increase in acid reflux symptoms. Has only improved allergy symptoms slightly. I still have to blow my nose all day long. My nose is still blocked and i have to breathe thru my mouth still. And the COST is ridiculous. After reading the other reports here i will be immediately stopping the rhinocort and never using nasal steroids again. A hole in my septum is NOT worth it. F 40 3 weeks

Patient History
 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

 3  Allergy and Nose Polyp As with others this is first med that has ever worked for me. I had drainage that became endless cough. I had a polyp. This got rid of that and I have never been able to breathe as good as i do now. But I've bern on it for about 18 months and in past few weeks noticed bloody boogers and blood in mucus when I blow. So i have stopped meds. I have not been back into dr yet but have appt. I'm hoping its not a hole in sinus but I don't think I will use the spray anymore. May try allergy shots. F 30 1 years

 1  Sinusitis Dizziness, loss of appetite, heart palpitations, racing heart, headache, insomnia, loss of focus. I will never use this or any steroidal nasal spray again. I was running 3 miles a day, playing basketball for 45 minutes a day, and lifting weighs. I was very healthy other than the sinus issue. I started using Rhinocort because my ENT said my sinus passages were swollen. About 2 weeks after starting, I became very unfocused or slightly confused, I started getting terrible headaches, It became difficult to fall asleep and I would only sleep maybe 5-6 hrs at best. Anxiety has set in and now my heart is missing beats and racing. M 43 2 weeks

 5  Seasonal Allergies Rhinocort is the best steroidal nasal spray. It has a lower volume of mist than others (Flonase,Nasonex, Nasacort) and is water based. It works well for me even using it QOD. I can use it every other day, or every second day and it is very effective. Give Rhinocort a try. It's better than the others. (low volume of mist, gentler) M 23 90 days

 1  Sinus allergies Horrible! My daughter had used Nasonex with terrible effects like night terrors, agressiveness, nausea, joint pain... So after a year with recurrent sinus infections her doctor insisted on trying Rhinicort. She said its a lower dose so I gave it a try. After just one use, my poor baby was extremely pale, nauseous, vomiting. Complaining about the same leg pain that the Nasonex gave her and also flu like symptoms. You can't feel like that in just a few hours just by a virus... Stopped the spray and will never use any steroid spray again. The doctors never believe me when I insist the spray has this serious effects. Very frustrating. F 6 1 days

 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

 1  Sons allergies My son 9 at the time took it for allergies. He started having headaches, dizziness, panic attacks and slight depression. Before taking the medication he was a happy, normal child. I took him to his doctor, the hospital and got an MRI before finding research about these possible side effects on children. A week after he stopped taking it all symptoms cleared up. Be aware of the side effects this can cause children. I mentioned all his headaches to his doctor and nobody felt it was caused by rhinocort, so I did my own research and took him off the medicatiin and he cleared up. It is very scary to have your child go through all this and you feel helpless...so just be aware of possible side effects. F 42 60 days

 1  allergies My 17 year old daughter starting taking this, and at first it was working great. Then one day she woke up saying she could not breathe, that it felt like her throat was closing up. Then she had a panic attack also. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what has been wrong with her. Now that I found this site I have taken her off of it immediatly, so I am very thankful for the people that have spoke up and told their story, cuz as a parent i was getting very worried and didnt know what to do. So thank you to all of you out there!!!! F 17 7 days
