| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | "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 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis | Pain in left breast | I noticed after taking that I had an ache in my left breast. I noticed this issue with Flonase as well. I am concerned about this side effect and will check with the doctor. | F | 1 days 1X day | 5/13/2015 | 2 | sinus allergy | Very itchy eyes and pressure around tear ducts. | F | 42 | 10 days 1X day | 4/2/2011 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Severe Seasonal Allergies | I too belive that major depression and axniety or jitters were inhanced by this drug. It only began when I stopped taking the drug. I was told by family members my mood swings were constantly up and down. I also has some dizziness or foggy vision. | F | 33 | 2 months 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 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 | major allergys | back pain between shoulder blades. that moved to chest | About 2 days after taking veramyst, I had major back pain between my shoulder blades. That slowly moved to my side and then my chest. I had no idea what was causing this until I forgot to take the spray one day and the pain lessened. I decided to not take it the next day just to see what would happen. for the first time in weeks I was able to move with out tiers in my eyes from the pain. It took weeks for the pain to dissipate. A month later after I thought I was better, I got sick again and decide to take veramyst once more but in much smaller amounts. It has been 3 days and the exact pain is back. DO NOT TAKE THIS SPRAY. I went from two sprays in each nostril in the morning and at night. To one spray in each nostril in the morning and I got to say, the pain is the same. Oh and it didn't clear me up at all. (this spray sucks) | F | 23 | | 8/6/2009 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
