| 1 | "roid rage" type symptoms | the steroids in veramyst are called corticosteroids, and they can cause "roid rage" type side effects, such as aggression, depression, mania, violent reactions, and even psychosis. Do a google search on "steroid psychosis" or sidefxdrugs and you will see the side effects corticosteroids can cause. | | 1/21/2008 | 5 | Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis | None. | Within 4 days, my allergies have improved greatly. I haven't had to use OTC medicine. My eyes are also not gummy like they usually are. I'm happy with it so far. | F | 36 | 4 days | 1/26/2008 | 4 | Sinus Problems | I haven't experienced any side effects after one week of use. I am a little worried that the medication contains cortisteroids and about the contraindictions of Glaucoma etc. | F | 40 | 7 days | 2/13/2008 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis, cat and weeds | ocassional nosebleed | Veramyst is a steroid that takes about a week of prescribed usage before it starts working and you see a difference. | 44 | 2 months | 2/24/2008 | 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 | 2 | seasonal allergies | lower back pain | About 5 days after I started taking the med, I started having lower back pain. I went off it for about 2-3 days and the pain went away. I started it again and after another couple of days the pain came back and became excruciating. It's taken about 10 days for the pain to go away. I haven't taken it since. Back pain is listed as a possible side effect - I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it is about this drug that may be causing this side effect? Does it somehow cause muscle tension? | F | 38 | 7 days | 6/11/2008 | 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 | 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 | 2 | seasonal Allergies | High pressure in eyes, dry nose, achy joints | After an eye exam my doctor said the pressure on my optic nerve was high and it may be the medication. I stopped for a week and the pressure returned to normal. i decided to stop this med as high pressure can lead to gloacoma and blindness. not good esp since the drug didnt really help my allergies all that much. | F | 42 | 2 months | 9/21/2008 | 5 | Major nasal allergies | Some achy joints. | Started on this about 2 months ago...GREAT medicine. I no longer need to use other nasal sprays, and my sinuses have been so much better on this drug!!! | F | 38 | 60 days | 10/18/2008 | 4 | chronic sinus infections | My only concern is potentially linked chronic headaches. | I have experienced decreased infections | F | 38 | 1 days | 11/27/2008 | 4 | stop rebound congestion | Increased nosebleeds/nasal sores | I've been using OTC nasal decongestant for a year (up to 1 dose per/3 hours each day.) After about a month and a half on Veramyst I noticed that the frequency that I needed to administer the decongestant dropped to twice a day, then once, and finally none at all. There is still a little stuffyness when laying down/sleeping but it's still easy enough to breathe through that without a issues | M | 19 | 4 months | 1/5/2009 | 2 | pain in eustachian tubes | get bloody noses every time I blow my nose (after about a month of use) | I was prescribed this for problems with my eustachian tubes (crackling and popping when I yawn or blow my nose or swallow). I've seen little improvement with the condition, and the bloody noses just make me even less satisfied. | F | 44 | 5 weeks | 1/12/2009 | 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 | 4 | allergy rhinitis | no | I have other corticosteroid nasal spray but this one finally stop the itchiness on the second day after I use it. Be sure to use NeilMed hypotonic nasal rinse first before using Veramyst. This will avoid nose bleeding. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 2/28/2009 | 1 | nasal inflammation | Insomnia. Jittery. | It worked well at relieving my nasal pressure but the side effects were awful. My doctor took my off it ASAP. | F | 36 | 3 weeks | 4/27/2009 | 4 | nasal allergies | gradual onset of muscle and bone pain in arm/shoulder, neck, back, hips & legs. | Helped immensly with my sinus/eye problems. I would keep taking it if not for the continued body aches and pains that are getting worse as I go along. After reading other posts, I am going to stop taking it immediately and hope that helps! | F | 35 | 4 weeks | 5/9/2009 | 5 | Non-allergic Vasomotor Rhinitis | Inital sneezing that subsided within a week. Nasty taste in mouth that I was able to control by tipping my head down slightly. | This is the only medication that truely helped my severe nasal congestion. Happily, it also helped with my chest congestion. I continue to have plenty of post-nasal drip however. I couldn't sleep without this nasal spray! | F | 38 | 2 years | 5/17/2009 | 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 | 1 | Allergies | I began using Veramyst (2 sprays in each nostril daily) in April 2008 for allergies. I stopped using the medication in April 2009 because it was causing my nose to bleed. Since I have stopped taking Veramyst in April 2009, I have had 3 sinus infections, spaced about 3 weeks apart. I believe the sinus infections are due to the fact I stopped taking Veramyst. I have had one or two sinus infections in the past, but never three in one year spaced so close together. I am now taking Allergra-D for my allergies and have started to use a nasal irrigation system. | F | 26 | 1 years | 7/3/2009 |
