| 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 | 1 | hayfever | extremely dry throat, difficulty breathing ,my brain feels like it is getting squeezed every time i cough ,painful to cough tired feverish then cold | I would much rather be sneezing with a runny nose if it gets 10% worse i am heading for the hospital or definitely going to the doctors in the morning | M | 31 | 2 days | 9/30/2008 | 5 | allergies | F | 45 | 3 years | 10/26/2008 | 4 | hay fever | vaginal itch/severe thrush | rhinocort work ++well with hay fever, was previously unable to sleep, could not stop sneezing, runny nose very miserable, always about a week into treatment got thrush. I only use it in the spring/hayfever season | F | 37 | 2 years | 11/11/2008 | 1 | sinusitis | panic attaks every day, nauasea, general feeling unwell. | my son was prescribed this drug for a continual blocked nose. No warning are given about the possiable side effects like emotional or behavoural changes. We only connected tho 2 when the only change in his life was rhinocort. Then it was realised that the paic attacks that were occuring every day started 7 days after taking the drug. The attacks stopped 7 days after the last dose. He took this for a month. He is 11. Always be aware of any drug even something as unsuspecting as a nasal spray. On the up side it did stop the blocked nose. We have told him he can live with that. He agrees. | M | 11 | 30 days | 11/18/2008 | 5 | allergies | none | This is the only thing that has ever worked for me other than Benadryl (which makes me too tired to use it daily). | F | 2 years | 11/23/2008 | 1 | allergies | cleared up my nose but caused horrible panic attacks. as soon as i stopped rhinocort i was 100% normal. this drug is very dangerous. | M | 24 | 90 days | 1/4/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infections / Allergies | Many of the side effects I got from Rhinocort, I didn't realize were due to Rhinocort, so I took it for almost two years until I did some research on it. I stopped promptly after. This is what happened to me. Facial swelling. Weight gain. Crazy weight gain. When I started taking it i was 6'1" 180 and after 6 months of Rhinocort I was 219! Stopped taking it and after another few months, without really trying, I'm back down to 190. Terrible insomnia. Anxiety. Every once in a while I'd get weird heart palpitation that were really scary. | I hated this medication. I would strongly recommend NOT taking it. Ever. No matter what. | M | 24 | 2 years | 1/5/2009 | 1 | simple allergies | panic disorder acid reflux anemia insomnia n i have these for the rest of my life | it all started with a phungus infection in my esophagus... i starved for like a month. i was dying n loosing a pound each day. when i got cured from that i still had the rest to worry about . i have been living this way for the past 8 years | F | 18 | 2 days | 2/19/2009 | 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 | 2 | Blocked nose | headaches and weight gain even when exercising. | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 2/26/2009 | 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 | 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 | allergies | hole in septum | If you develop nosebleeds stop using it. I ignored mine(and so did my doctor who said these things only happen if you abuse the drug)I now have a hole in mt septum and a new doctor. | F | 47 | 3 days | 7/20/2009 | 3 | post nasal drip | 2-3 hours after taking Rhinocort voice box felt "coated". Resulted in voice being husky and couldn't speak properly. Other people commented on change in vocals too. | After 7 days of use this reaction started. Skipped a day and noticed this reaction stopped. Had Rhinocort the next day and same reaction happened. It did stop the post nasal drip. | F | 42 | 7 days | 8/16/2009 | 2 | Nasal Congestion | Heart palpitations and panic attacks. I have no mental health issues and this occured after about 10-15 days of useage. It panic attacks went away when I stopped using Rhinocort. Plus, it made me moody. | It worked well on the nasal congestion, but side effects were too bad to continue. | M | 39 | 15 days | 9/11/2009 | 1 | sinus | initial brief use relieved symtoms - futher use seemed to have counter effect and ended up with bleeding and blood closts | Initial use -GP prescribed- first one/two uses cleared, further use briefly cleared and then seemed to worsen - stopped. 2nd time - allergist - tried several times when sinus bad - same effect but this time ended up with bleeding and blood clots -which stopped when stopped Rhinocort. OK if only used 2 -3 times - then rebound effect and bleeding. For sinus best thing is Sinus Wash - no side effects. | F | 58 | 3 days | 9/20/2009 | 2 | ear pain, sinus congestion | Nausea, headache, dizziness | Worked great on my sinus congestion but I had significant nausea, headache, dizziness, and generally felt out of it (spent much of the time curled up in fetal position on my couch). We tried cutting the dosage but I still felt horrible. Today is the first day I am off it and my congestion is back but I feel so much better with the other symptoms. | F | 38 | 3 days | 10/9/2009 | 3 | Nasal allergies | Taking Rhinocort for almost 2 years. At the same time started having nose bleeds. It really helped with allergies, but several nose bleeds a day. None lasting very long but seem to stop after a few weeks of stopping the Rhinocort. | M | 16 | 2 years | 1/14/2010 |
