| 3 | chronic sinus headaches | Mild daily headache, weight gain | F | 55 | 3 months 1X day | 9/15/2010 | 2 | nasal allergies and inflammation | This medication worked well for my inflamed sinus passages but made me an emotional mess. I was either irritable or crying about little things that don't normally bother me and I know it was not due to PMS. Emotional side effects were not listed in the patient info. that came in the box. | If you are sensitive to other forms of steroids DO NOT use this nasal spray. I would rather have sinus problems than to not have friends and family. | F | 39 | 2 days 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 1 | blocked passages | After five days passages cleared however my face became very ichy especially around the bridge of my nose & ears.I thought that the med was working not true .After 12 days I was a mess, a constant feeling in the right side of my face feeling activity tightness etc. Have been off med for 6 days it is not as bad but still not back to normal. Never again !! | F | 67 | 12 days 30 1X day | 3/14/2010 | 1 | upper respiratory congestion | intense headache in right forehead. Little relief from Excedrin with tylenol. Ice packs provided symptomatic relief. Loud ringing in left ear. | Seemed to help condition, but had to discontinue due to headaches. Doctor never mentioned possible side effects and I will not take any drug from this point on without thoroughly understanding side effects. | M | 65 | 2 weeks 1X day | 3/14/2010 | 1 | Nasal congestion | The first week it actually helped with my congestion. Although I don't take it daily, just when needed, I noticed on the fourth week I took this med I experienced an intense headache for several days in my forehead. Throughout the course of the month I also felt very emotional, (crying for no reason). Come to find out many people like me are sensitive to the steroid in this med and the emotional side effects. | I would rather suffer with a stuffy nose than take this med again. | F | 22 | 30 days 2X day | 2/8/2010 | 4 | Postnasal drip | Some nose bleeds. | I had postnasal drip for months. After using NASACORT the postnasal drip ceased. | M | 31 | 3 weeks | 12/14/2009 | 1 | Sinus issues | Nasacort relieved my sinus problems just fine. However, after about 8 years of use, I developed cataracts in both eyes. This is a know side affect of Nasacort. | M | 47 | 8 years | 11/5/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion | headaches on left side, panic and anxiety attacks, nervousness; foggy thinking. | I had an immediate headache after taking, several days later I started feeling nervous all the time and having terrible anxiety attacks while driving, scared the daylights out of me. I realized I didn't start feeling this way until after taking nasacort...stopped taking it immediatley, having withdrawal mini attacks, but I feel them getting less each day. | F | 49 | 5 days | 9/21/2009 | 4 | seasonal allergies and sinus proble | Extremely bad headaches, lived on Motrin, pain in the right eye, mental confusion, felt drunk. | Have discontinued use...Hate the side affects. | F | 54 | 6 weeks | 9/16/2009 | 1 | allergies | I took for only two days before stopping. I had bad pain in my ear, throat, and neck - on left side only. Second day after stopping I still have a headache with surface nerve pain on left side of my head, stiff neck is easing, but still there. I do not like this medicine. | the alergies are better than the cure. | F | 46 | 2 days | 9/3/2009 | 1 | multiple sinus infections | Within minutes I had a headache. Later that night I woke in the night with a very sick stomache. I ended up throwing up and having diarhea for the night and most of the next day. It is so much more miserable to be sick with flu like symptoms than to have a headache. Very miserable!!!! | F | 37 | 1 days | 8/27/2009 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Using only 1 spray per nostril once daily, I experienced nasty headaches. When I discontinued Nasacort AQ, they stopped. | F | 58 | 6 days | 7/10/2009 | 5 | Nasal congestion | None! | I used Nasacort AQ for nasal congestion and felt relief within the first few hours. I used to use Afrin, and hated the irritation, dry throat, nasty taste, and rebound effect. Nasacort felt clean, fresh, and didn't drip down my throat. I tried other sprays but the alcohol dried out my nose, and I didn't like the way some smelled and tasted. | F | 32 | 8 days | 6/24/2009 | 2 | Swollen sinuses | First two days, I felt O.K. and noticed very little watering of my eyes and drainage into my throat; however, after those two days, I felt cloudiness in my thinking and low in spirit. When I stopped using Nasacort, I felt like my normal self again. | I believe Nasacort helps with the allergies, but for some people, there are side effects. | F | 74 | 1 weeks | 6/10/2009 | 1 | chronic sinus infection | frontal headache, excitability, anxiety, confusion, "brain fog"; upon discontuing- withdrawal symptoms: moderate to serious depression for days, muscular tension in legs and arms, muscle spasms in back, increased headache | If you are sensitive to cortisteroids as I am, avoid Nasacort and Rhinocort. Manufacturer's info sheet says Nasacort is 8 times more potent than prednisone! I had terrible withdrawal symptoms for several days after using Nasacort for just 3 days. The doctors will say none of this is possible with nasal sprays. The med. actually drips down the throat and into the stomach where it is apparently absorbed. 'Very bad stuff. | M | 57 | 3 days | 4/29/2009 | 5 | Rhinitis and stuffiness | None | It has been a miracle drug for me. No side effects and significant curtailment of running, dripping nose (about 90% effective when used with Benedryl and Claritin); also, significant improvement in stuffiness at night. | M | 73 | 10 years | 4/16/2009 | 2 | stuffy, runny nose & coughing | It affected the nerves mostly on the left side of my face where I had some cheek twitching and numbness; severe eye twitching, jaw and gum discomfort, funny taste in my mouth; left side of my lips had tingling sensation like when novacaine wears off. | I used Nasacort years ago with no side effects. Used it again some last year and had headaches, but didn't link it to this. Then I used it this year for 2 weeks and had the full blown problems listed. Thought it was a sinus or dental problem. Have had x-rays, CT, doctor & dentist visits and stopped using it during that time. The problems subsided and the day after I started using it again they came back. Stopped using it and the side effects have subsided again. It's too bad since it worked great on my runny nose and coughing, but I can't live with feeling like I've had a stroke or am doing permanent damage to myself. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 4/4/2009 | 3 | blocked nose and sinusite | non stop cought,with yellow secretions and little blood in it. sore throat | ive been taking this medecine for 3 days now 2 vaporisation each nostrine 2 times a day and yeah the sinusite has gone but now i had extreme fever,headaches for 1 days then 2 days of non stop cought and yellow secretions with sometime blood in it. ill try to stop it instantly cause i fear taking one more dose. | M | 29 | 3 days | 3/29/2009 | 3 | sinus pain, constant nasty mucus | Screaming headache, dry throat/mouth, muscle and joint pain | It cleared up the sinus problem after about a week, but I will not continue with this med like my doc prescribed. I feel like I have the flu with all this muscle and joint pain. My hands and jaw are particularly sore. I'm too young to walk like my father! | F | 46 | 7 days | 2/4/2009 | 2 | plugged ears/sinus infection | Extremely bad headache on Day 1, Neck stiffness and sore throat on Day 2. DISCONTINUED MEDICATION! | F | 26 | 2 days | 1/29/2009 |
