| 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 | 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 | inflamation of nasal passages | After taking Veramyst and Claritin D per recomendation by ENT dr, i was hit with deep bouts of depression and a weird type of phychosis. After three weeks, while at work, i became violently ill, throwing up all over teh restroom stall. I was freaking out, thinking every little problem in my life was far worse than it actually was. I was suicidal, actually. I was terrified and felt hopless. I was taken to ER and ER dr diagnosed me with vertigo. I disagreed and went home. I was never nauseas, only getting so 10 seconds before puking. I puked 15 minutes after taking a Claritin D so figured itwas all due to the ephedrine in the Cl D. I stopped taking it and, over the next week, started feeling better, but was still hit with bouts of depression. Two weeks later, again while at work, i was overcome with another bout of deep depression and an ill feeling. Hard to describe, kind of like a weakness of the body and a deep feeling of hopelesness. I thought, after talking it over with a friend, | M | 41 | 6 weeks | 1/29/2010 | 2 | Fullness Tin Can Effect in Ears | After the first day I experienced a strange fluttering sensation in one ear that would only go away if I put an ear plug in. I would describe this a fluttering or buzzing behind the ear drum that was not painful but very disturbing. Cannot concentrate or sleep with the fluttering. Tried generic Flonase and did not experience this. I decided to stop taking Veramyst to see if the buzzing either goes away or gets worse. | M | 46 | 5 days 1 1X day | 12/8/2010 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Ear congestion | After taking it for 3 weeks, i started having neck and shoulder pain..i thought i had a bad posture or something and left it there..then i started having extreme dizziness and felt fatigued all the time..i thought there might be something wrong with my diet..then when all of dis got unbearable i searched the internet for side effects of this drug and came to this page..turned out that people were having the same side effects...nd the worst part is doctor will never admit its because of the medicines..in my case he said its coz of work pressure and some sort of tension..all BS..nd then u think u r going crazy.. | even after leaving dis drug i had vertigo and shoulder pain..seems like after leaving the medicine it takes to time to come back to normal..i had some nightmares too which is also a side effect of leaving dis drug..bt after 1 week of stopping it i am feeling so much better ..its good to feel alive gain..and i m sure in d coming week i vil b fully fit..nd THANK U ALL FOR SHARING UR STORIES..i wud b gald if i can b of ne help to ne1.. | M | 27 | 1 months 27.5 2X day | 5/23/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Persistent Canker Sores.... Although I didn't realize there was a connection until I stopped taking veramyst. I have been off veramyst for two months and have not had a canker sore since as opposed to having 3 to 4 at a time while on veramyst. | It worked well for my allergies but the side effects were so sever I would not recommend the product. Also the mental stress that came with the canker sores did not help either. Throughout the experience I thought my immune system had been compromised, it was a bit terrifying. | M | 37 | 3 years 2X day | 5/29/2013 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Heart arrhythmias and insomnia. I would go to bed at 10pm and always wake up at 3am. This drug can cause insomnia and heart arrhythmias. I also got this same effect from Rhinocort, which is another steroid nasal spray. It seems all steroid nasal sprays have this effect on me. I will avoid them. I know that steroids can cause heart arrhythmias in pill form, but, for ME, they cause them in nasal sprays as well. I KNOW this to be true. | Veramyst DID work well at clearing the nasal congestion. The benefit was not worth the risk. Heart arrhythmias are too dangerous to risk. Note: I did 2 rounds to be SURE it was VERAMYST causing it and both times after about 10 days, it occured. | M | 39 | 10 days | 9/4/2009 | 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 | 1 | nose congestion due to 'allergies' | 2 sprays per nostril daily.. First started waking up in middle of the night with crazy anxiety for the first time in a few years. Started having trouble getting to sleep. Didn't feell like myself anymore clouded mind. Now extreme shoulder pain for last couple days cannot move shoulder have stopped taking it today. | M | 22 | 10 days | 10/19/2014 | 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 | 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 | 5 | Allergies, sinusitis | Makes me hyper and unable to sleep if used later in the day. | Works better then Flonase! A wonder spray, but use sparingly. I don't use it every day, only when my nose is so stuffed up I can't breathe. I have allergies, my eyes get puffy, teary and red. One spray in each nostril clears it up within a minute. | F | 39 | 1 years 27.5 mg 1X day | 9/3/2015 | 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 | 5 | Perennial vasomotor rhinitis | Slight and very occasional headaches. Very slight and occasional lower-back pain. First dose made me jittery and anxious, but the symptoms subsided. | In combination with Allegra, Veramyst (tradename Avamys in Latam) has completely changed my lifestyle. I am extremely satisfied with the results. It takes about 3 or 4 days for Veramyst to have a full effect. The anxiety and insomnia I experienced the first day went away and now I can actually sleep and rest, which the rhinitis did not let me accomplish before. | F | 22 | 6 months 27,5 MG 1X day | 3/11/2011 | 5 | Chronic nasal congestion, itchy eye | None | I have suffered from allergies all my life and this is the most effective drug I have ever used. After just one dose it eased my symptoms and it has literally changed my life. I can sleep, I can breathe, my eyes are no longer irritated all the time. Best drug ever. | F | 47 | 4 days 27.5 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 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 | 5 | Allergies | None | I was prescribed this after months of taking Nasonex with little relief. I am totally thrilled to report that my 2 year long battle with Vertigo is completely gone!!! I had no idea this could be a result. I am free from constant dizziness. Yay!! | F | 44 | 2 months 2 sprays 1X day | 11/1/2010 |
