| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR RHINOCORT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | seasonal allergies | the upshot is...Rhinocort alleviated almost all of my allergy symptoms within 2 days. The downside (which far outweighs the benefits) is terrible anxiety and bad moods. This started within a few days of use. I have become very easily and irrationally upset. Ive got 5 kids to be mother too and they are all tiptoeing around me...its not worth it. Yesterday was my last dose. I wont take it again. | If you already have an existing anxiety/depression probelm then talk to your Dr before taking this. It could make things a whole lot worse. | F | 30 | 1 months | 9/24/2005 | 1 | allergies | Perforated septum | PLEASE do not take this drug. I now have a perforated septum (hole in the divider in your nose) that can only possibly be changed through surgery. I do not know why my doctor did not inform me of this very serious possible side-effect. Whatever condition you are trying to treat, PLEASE look for a safer alternative. | F | 29 | 2 years | 10/8/2005 | 1 | Allergies | Perforated Septum (e.g. big hole in the middle of my nose as round as the end of my pinky), severe nosebleeds, insomnia, moody, hazy thinking, scratchy/itchy throat. | Never worked completely as I'd hoped, daily nosebleeds and deteriorated my septum over the course of 90 days. I completely removed the scab and septum of an area as round as the end of my pinky. I was not warned of any side effects. I still have the septum in a plastic bag and showed it to my doctor. My doctor wasn't quite sure what to think. I was on the spray a couple more days while he consulted his ear/throat doctor friend when he called to ask that I immediately stop spraying with it. | M | 26 | 93 days | 10/29/2005 | 2 | Nasal Allergies | Insomnia, anxiety. | M | 26 | 6 months | 11/15/2005 | 1 | nasal allergies | Hole in Septum. Painful sinus surgery to correct it!! | Would not recccomend | F | 43 | 1 days | 11/27/2005 | 1 | nasal allergies | Hole in Septum. Painful sinus surgery to correct it!! | Would not recccomend | F | 43 | 1 years | 11/27/2005 | 1 | Blocked Nose, Hay Feaver, Allergies | At first this medicine did help with my sinuses but after a while it started to cause very severe irritation/burning (like there was acid in it) all through my nose and ear canals. As much as i wish this medicine would work it didn't for me and i cannot recomend it. | M | 24 | 3 months | 11/29/2005 | 1 | Sinusitis | Mood swings, overly emotional, paranoia, anxiety attacks, muscle aches, tingling in legs and arms. I thought I was losing my mind. After I stopped using it, the side effects went away. | I wouldn't recommend this medication. There are too many side effects and a lot of safer choices out there. It didn't help my problem either. | F | 42 | 12 days | 12/15/2005 | 3 | sinus | Dry eyes, hazy vision and blurring, upon withdrawing from Rhinocort after 6 months use. | F | 54 | 6 months | 1/11/2006 | 1 | Tinnitus | This aggitated my stress level with the tinnitus I have. I couldnt sleep well, once I woke up It was hard to go back to sleep. Very Very emotional. Very strange and vivid dreams. Easy to waken in the night! PLease dont take if you are already emotional! | F | 3 days | 1/21/2006 | 1 | post nasal drip | Sever Anxiety, Wake up in the morning feeling jittery inside, shaking and trembling, panic attacks, worry and panic feeling, very emotional, couldn't sleep. Painful headaches in sinus area and back of head, sinus pressure. | Will never use again. | F | 26 | 7 days | 1/23/2006 | 1 | severe allergies | I felt utterly frazzled after taking rhinocort for 8 days. Shakiness, pain in nose, unusually irritable. Mind is racing. I feel high. | I have a seven week old daughter whom I am breastfeeding. On the eighth day of taking rhinocort when I started feeling frazzled she also was unusually cranky and cried inconsolably. | F | 29 | 8 days | 2/10/2006 | 4 | chronic sinusitis/rhinitis | Bloody nasal mucosa on septum. | If you have bleeding while in this medication, CALL YOUR DOCTOR. If you ignore this, you may end up with a perforated septum. This drug worked well for keeping my nasal swelling down, but in time i developed the bleeding. During application, you need to aim away from the septum. | M | 31 | 35 days | 2/28/2006 | 1 | rhinitis | blood pressure went from 120/70 to 145/90 within 5 days of taking it, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, but no relief from popping ears/tinnitus | M | 55 | 8 days | 4/13/2006 | 3 | Sinusitis & Congestion | Dizziness, fast heart beat, anxiety symptoms, and if i haven't read about these side effects others experienced i would not have thought that it was from rhinocort! | I'm too scared to use it now again, althought my sinus is blocked and my ears are blocked and keep popping.. i don't think i will use this again, unless my sinus gets unbearable. | F | 24 | 7 days | 6/15/2006 | 1 | severe congestion, allergies | I experienced nose bleeds, and severe scabbing on the inside of my nose. The crusting was causing blockage, so that I couldn't breathe through my nose anyway. My septum now has a hole and I often experience whistling. | I would not reccomend using this drug. | F | 43 | 60 days | 6/19/2006 | 2 | Allergies, nasal inflammation | It made me feel very weak and depressed. I almost felt like I had the flu but no fever, just weak. It's hard to tell if it helped at all. I've only take Rhinocort three days and that's enough. I'm trying Nasalcrom now, it's supposed to have hardly any side effects, reviews are good. I also starting using Nasopure nasal wash which is just salt and baking soda with water and it's great, cleared up my nose great. | M | 28 | 3 days | 6/22/2006 | 1 | allergies/sinus congestion | I have an appointment for a stress test due to loss of breath/pain in chest when taking short walks. I weigh 123 so being overweight is not the issue. Sleep issues - nightmares- leg,foot & hip pain, swelling in feet/hands, headaches, jittery and general achiness all over. | I was unaware of most of the possible side effects and my allergist never warned me. I stopped using it 3 days ago and had a massive headache this morning. I would NOT recommend using Rhinocort and will look into alternative treatments. Shame on me for not researching before using. | F | 45 | 2 months | 7/7/2006 | 3 | Nasal Inflammation | Hazy vision, lots of pressure in the eyes, anxiety, cloudy head, unable to concenrate. General muscle weakness. Stopped using and had a severe headache | Though Rhinocort does what it is supposed to do in clearing up the nasal passage, the side effects are awful. Had I not read this website I would still believe the Dr. telling me I was just having anxiety attacks. Yes I was, as a result of Rhinocort. The insert in the medication says the problems with your vision are rare, this is not true. I took the Dr. recommended dose, 2 sprays in each nostril once a day, and had very high pressure in my eyes. Once I decided to go to one spray in each nostril the pressure stopped and I could finally see clearly again. I have had a headache for about 5 days now since I stopped using the spray, I had to use it last night to stop the pain, nothing else was working. | F | 27 | 2 months | 9/22/2006 | 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 |
