| 1 | nasal sinuses | Used it once, two sprays per nostril and it hardly help with sinuses. Had my congested worse tomorrow, never agian will i used this poison. Just a money scam,and i know i work at a pharmacy. People get this stuff everyday, kids, adults, and seniors. And the other side effects ar even more worse!!!! luckily i had minimal side effects. But dont use this stuff its poison from our friends the Pharm. Industry. | M | 100 | 3 days 30 1X AN | 2/18/2012 | 1 | severe postnasal drip | lower back pain. Started experiencing back pain after about 3 days on the drug. It was extremely difficult to straighten my back after sitting down. Took me a while to make the connection to Veramyst but when I did I stopped taking. Back has slowly got better, over the past week. | F | 72 | 5 days 30 mg 2X day | 6/19/2015 | 1 | i wi was taking veramyst for seasonal allergies. i didn't see any improvements but i experienced sudden edginess, almost like an over dose of caffiene. it is also affecting my vision. i wouldn't recommend this drug. | M | 70 | 2 days | 7/3/2008 | 1 | Fullness in ears/allergy | Almost fainted, backache, constant headache, ulcers on lower eyelid, blurry vision, felt edgy | I thought I had a sinus infection and felt generally lousy after four days on Veramyst. After quitting this med the headache was gone in one day, back ache eased each day and itchy eyes took one week to go back to normal. I reported my adverse effects to the company (for a refund) and to the FDA | F | 69 | 16 days | 2/22/2009 | 1 | I did not realize that Veramyst had the same active incredient as Flonase (inhaled steroid ) Which cause me to be susceptible to enhaled viruses. My profession puts me inconstant contact with airborne oral particulates. The drug lowers my resistance to viral infections, thus I become severely ill with pneumonia loosing weeks from work. For me there is a direct link between these medicines and my recurrent illnesses! My allergist did not warn me. My two pulmonolgists are clue less. The medical system is too fragmented and the doctors are too distracted trying to conform to new government regulations to listen to the patient. It will get worse. protect yourself ! The system is breaking!!!! Isn't it woriesome that you see and TV AD for a prescription medicine on the evening news and when you go to the doctor the next day you are prescribed that medicine? and several others! Have you ever noticed that an attractive woman dressed in a black skirt, black hose and blackhigh | M | 68 | 2 days 27.5 2X day | 6/24/2011 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Ended up in three different emergency rooms in 24 hours with a severe nosebleed that wouldn't stop. Was gagging on blood clots. Wasn't even using spray on a daily basis, just off and on over a few weeks. Unfortunately, the "Rhino Rocket" the 3rd ER used slipped back too far and caused horrific hemorrhaging. Ended up getting nasal passage packed with gauze and getting admitted for overnight observation. Still having some nosebleeding five days after this started. Will never touch this stuff again. | F | 65 | 2 weeks 27.5 mcg 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | sinus problems | second day swollen, puffy eyes, third day back pain and vision problems. | I will most likely stop this medication. | F | 65 | 4 days | 9/15/2008 | 1 | Congestion | Blurred vision, mushy brain, severe back pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and feeling sick. | Never ever take this medicine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 63 | 80 days 27.5 mcg 2X day | 12/28/2014 | 1 | Sinusitus | Raising blood pressure, hormones affected and worsening of the condition | I believe this drug is dangerous. My family were all prescribed this at the same time. My wife has had a blood pressure drug increase, my daughter 25 has also had an increase in BP drugs, my daughter 21 has angina and chest pains and I have had additional medicines for overactive adrenal gland. All at the same time and 60 days later we are still suffering. | M | 62 | 30 days 1X day | 9/24/2014 | 2 | allergic rhinitis | Insomnia, dark circles, headaches, body aches. | I have been taking this drug for about a week for chronic rhinitis. I am on a very low dose - 1 spray in each nostril once a day. I was very reluctant to use any steroid nasal spray as I am VERY sensitive to all medications but agreed to give this one a try. After one week, I notice little change in my symptoms and in fact think they may be worse. The dark circles under my eyes are much darker and I am waking up in the middle of the night and unable to get back to sleep. I am also experiencing dull headaches and muscles aches. I am probably going to stop taking it because it is not helping at this low dosage and since I am already experiencing side effects, I am not willing to up the dosage. | F | 61 | 8 days | 4/3/2008 | 5 | Seasonal allergies and stuffy nose | None. Actually has a nice scent. | I took various types of oral medications for my seasonal allergies from OTC to prescription. Most of them made me foggy headed and very tired all day. This nasal spray is a miracle! I take one metered spray in each nostril every morning and at bedtime. No more stuffiness and clear and open breathing. I'm not afraid to go outdoors anymore during peak allergy season. I now enjoy summer. | M | 60 | 2 weeks | 7/16/2009 | 1 | Eustachian tube dysfunction | Worsening of symptoms, back pain | I tried using Veramyst in the morning versus evening and still felt like I was getting worse. Didn't associate the back pain until I read other's comments. When I quit using Veramyst, my ears cleared up and the back pain went away. I was also taking Clarinex and still am. I happened to have an appt with my eye Dr. within 5 days a quitting Veramyst. My eye pressure was up from my previous exam but still within an acceptable range. Would not recommend | F | 56 | 3 weeks | 6/15/2009 | 2 | ear congestion | I have been taking this medication for a little over a week and have developed bad headaches. I still have ear fullness and congestion. I had ear surgery 9 months ago and complained to my dr that I have been having trouble with ear fullness and numbness. He prescribed Veramyst to clear up the congestion, which I still have. But I don't know if the headaches are worth it. I see him next week as he told me it will take around 2 weeks to see the full benefit of the medication. I don't know what to do. | F | 54 | 9 days 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 1 | allergy to mold, dust, mites, grass | Terrible headache within a few hours of using, irritability, trouble falling and staying asleep, not feeling like "myself." | Works very well for allergy but at a high cost, too high for me to continue. Felt normal again in about 24 hours after discontinuing. By the way, the adverse effects snuck up on me slowly over the month I used it, did not happen right away. | F | 54 | 30 days 1 puff 1X day | 11/4/2011 | 2 | allergies | Bad headaches. | Although this med worked great for allergies, over a month I developed bad headaches that became constant. I have not used Veramyst for 48 hours and the headache has decreased significantly, although still there slightly. I also realize now that I was starting to feel vaguely agitated, or just not myself, while on it. It's really too bad because it worked very, very well for allergies. This all makes me wonder if it is much stronger than other steroid nasal sprays??? | F | 53 | 30 days 110 mcg 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 5 | allergic sinus congestion and pain | a little post nasal drip after spraying | miracle drug! it does take about a week to start to work so give it enough time. I had nasal congestion and headaches for 9 years, on sudafed all the time and started to get heart racing from it. I don't need any other medication with veramyst, I feel like I don't have allergies at all! | F | 52 | 4 months 2 sprays 1X day | 7/16/2010 | 1 | sinus and seasonal allergies | severe joint and muscle pain; red,dry and painful eyes; dark and swollen under eyes with dry patches on skin | I have stopped using Veramyst and hope that the side effects go away. | F | 52 | 3 weeks 27.5 mcg 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 4 | nasal stuffiness | Since I have just started this medication I am experiencing some sneezing. Not bad. Opened up my nose after 2 months of not being able to breathe freely. My nose bleeds easily, but am using the NeilMed Sinus Rinse before spraying and this has cut the bleeding down. Nose bleeds every now and then. Hope the sneezing goes away. | In my case I have a horrible allergy to Cedar/Juniper since it was bad this year and to Live Oak pollen. I will probably use this until these seasons are over and then take a break. If I need to, I will probably use NasalCrom if I have something bother me in between. | F | 50 | 2 days 27.5 2X day | 2/18/2010 | 1 | nasal/sinus inflamation | I first tried this med when being treated for a sinus infection that followed a bout of the flu. After the first dosage of two sprays per nostril, I developed a very severe headache (very rare for me). Wondering if it could be the veramyst, I discontinued it and the headached vanished. The sinus infection cleared with antibiotics and Mucinex. About two months later, I came down with a mild head cold and felt as if some sinus thing was developing. I decided to give the veramyst a try again. This time, I used only one spray each nostril. The first day, only some mild headache..thought it could be the sinus infection...so, I used it the second day too. Wound up with a TERRIBLE headache...throbbing at the top of the nasal area...took THREE days to feel better with constant pain meds. Will NEVER use this spray again!!!!!!! | F | 50 | 2 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | Chronic Nasal Congestion | Pretty severe pain at spinal disc in upper back, neck pain at base of skull, muscle pain in upper back, headache, difficulty thinking, weepy eye, blurred vision, loss of some hearing, bleeding sore in nostril, burning red puffiness nose and cheeks. Almost all symptoms affected my left side; back, neck, head, eye, ear, only my right nostril was on that side and spinal disc pain was, well, central. | These symptoms came on very slow, it did not occur to me I was having a reaction the the medication. They became pretty severe. Finally got to a point where I thought I might be having a stroke or worse. Almost stopped at the Emergency room. Set up an appt. with MD, and it was only afterwards I thought these started after taking the Veramyst. 1 week after stopping it the symptoms started to subside. 3 weeks later they are almost completely gone. The pain in my upper spine is still there but is getting better, it was also the first symptom I noticed. I'm 48 and in good health. This scared the crap out of me. Thought my life had changed for the worse for the rest of my life. Just so happy it was the med's and not something permanent. Please just be very aware of symptoms if you do take this. I will grant I was breathing through my nose, smelling the world, and tasting my food like I haven't in years. I will miss that. | M | 48 | 2 months 1 Spray 2X day | 11/27/2012 |
