| 1 | Allergies | It gave me severe hayfever. | It gave me severe hayfever. I thought this was supposed to help allergies. This is crap. | F | 35 | 3 days 1 1X day | 7/12/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Increased anxiety, rapid heart rate, light headed when standing. | Started taking this b/c I noticed flonase was not really helping. This seemed to work better until I noticed some weird things happening. The one that stands out the most is rapid heart beat. Then it would have to be the light headed when standing and then anxiety. Also my neck feels swollen. I tapered off to just twice a week and the symptoms went away. I noticed my allergies really bad one day and started back taking it everyday and the symptoms returned. Will be going off and trying some sort of pill for allergies. I'd say give it a shot but be wary of your body and what it tells you about this med. | M | 45 | 3 months 55mcg 1X day | 7/11/2016 | 1 | Allergies | I now have a horrible itchy rash over most of my body, been wearing my PJs cause I can't stand clothes!!

I am a RN and checked every other med I take and finally stopped using nazacort and all these symptoms went away. All I can say the steroids got in my system and caused these problems.I feel bad because nazacort worked as far as my allergies go,but can't deal with the side affects | F | 69 | 6 months 30 mg | 6/5/2016 | 4 | Springtime allegeries | The last few years I have taken this drug or its generic in the morning and I have developed very dry eyes starting in early evening each day. This results in excess blinking. | M | 57 | 14 days 2 sprays 1X day | 5/11/2016 | 1 | Post nasal drip | Chest tightness. Bad acid reflux. Headaches dizziness. Diarrhea bloated stomach | I'm a runner so I can tell pretty fast when I'm not feeling good. It took me all week to relized. It was this medicine. I was having bad acid reflux. I take Prilosec And it usually works. I was hurting daily ! Stomach was very bloated. I was getting dizzy scared I was having a heart attack! I will never take this again. I'm glad I found this site. This stuff is bad!! It did clear my congestion. Think I rather suffer with congestion. | F | 38 | 7 days 55 | 4/21/2016 | 1 | Severe allergies | Panic attack , severe anxiety ( which is something I dealt with for a year but I was blessed to have not ever dealt with another panic attack in almost a year until I took this "poison" for a lack of better word. Sore throat. Severe cough ... | I'm happy to have read the comments on this site as I IMMEDIATELY THREW THIS DRUG AWAY AND WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE TOUCH IT AGAIN. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to my worsest enemy. HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. I ONLY TOOK IT ONCE and I as i am moving into the next night , I still feel mild anxiety but the side effects seem to be going away. I prefer to vote trump for President before I ever take this medicine again | M | 30 | 1 days 2 sprays | 4/8/2016 | 1 | My throat is burning and its itching like a volcano errupted in there.Do not use at all cost. | F | 19 | 1 days | 4/3/2016 | 1 | Dust allergy | Developed severe nosebleeds | F | 62 | 14 days 2X day | 3/27/2016 | 1 | To clear up congestion from virus | Increased congestion and runny nose, sore irritated throat, headache, body aches, weight loss, dry mouth, increased heartburn and stomach upset, burning eyes, catch viruses really easily, makes any existing viral infection worse, agitation/anxiety, low mood, emotional | I've tried it a few times now. Each time I get the same side effects. Then when I stop it I feel better and like me again. Don't take it when you have a virus. It made my virus worse. Made my nasal passages swell shut/severe congestion. It also makes me catch other viruses more easily. Some people are just more sensitive to steroids than others I think even at the lower dosages. I took it to clear up congestion from bad virus but it made my congestion and symptoms worse. I'd rather have a severely congested nose and drink milk shakes until I can breathe normally again than take this. | F | 38 | 1 weeks 2X day | 2/12/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Instant vertigo, heart palpitations, Anxiety and lightheaded | Tried once and threw it in the trash, going back to Allegra | M | 38 | 1 days | 2/9/2016 | 5 | seasonal allergies | abdominal cramping & diarrhea | I have had terrible seasonal allergies since I was a child. Taking over the counter medicines all these years offered a small amount of relief. Nasacort WORKS! Wish I'd had it available years ago. | M | 54 | 1 weeks once daily | 2/4/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Extreme diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and intermittent sharp abdominal pains, back pain/stiffness, increased tooth sensitivity | Reading the side effects others have posted just blows my mind. This whole week I have been trying to figure out what was causing all of my seemingly unrelated symptoms and I am shocked to realize it was the nasacort! I am really disappointed because it really cleared up my allergy symptoms! I normally take Zyrtec but the cedar was so high, it wasn't enough. Ugh! Just grateful I did not start to have anxiety as that is something I am prone to. I have been more emotional. Could be from worrying about all of the other weird symptoms! :( | F | 41 | 6 days 55 mcg | 1/30/2016 | 1 | Year round allergies | Worked great at the beginning. Then about 2 months past and I started to experience dry mouth,affected my sense of smell and taste. Got of it and my nasal conjestion is worse than ever. Going back to Zyrtec and Sudafed. | F | 42 | 3 months | 1/30/2016 | 1 | For Severe Congestion | Rapid heartbeat, severe nausea, feeling faint, panic attacks, severe anxiety, nervousness, complete loss of appetite, chest felt heavy,couldn't stop pacing the floors, ended up in the hospital. | Ended up in ER, and was told it was just a sinus infection..was given an injection of antibiotics and was told to take benadryl, sent home. Got worse, congestion was not as bad, but all the rest of the side effects increased and stayed and remained for four days. On the fifth day, was not as bad. Following Sunday, a week to the day, ended up in ER again; panic attacks, psychosis, paranoia was extremely, had never suffered from the above before I took Nasacort. Was kept over night did all types of blood work found nothing wrong with my blood or anything. Everything came out normal. Was diagnosed with severe anxiety, because all tests came back negative for anything else. Was put on ativan to treat anxiety. Still suffer from anxiety, the Ativan only takes off a little bit of the edge, I've lost six pounds in a week..and I still feel ill, appetite isn't 100%. Have bouts of depression..never been in the hospital before in my life..only when I gave birth to my children. Have been healthy all my life, workout eat right. I am so happy my daughter found this form, now I know what the source of my anxiety is stemming from, nasacort. And I have hope it will dissipate from my body completely in time, that it has not done any permanent damage, I pray. I wonder if this qualifies for a class action lawsuit, for it has changed my life and I do not know for how long this will remain. | F | 58 | 1 days | 12/25/2015 | 4 | To open my sinuses. | I occasionally experience diziness and then I cut back on the dosage. | I've tried Nasonex, Flonase, and Nasacort. All three are very similar and of course Nasacort has the best pricing. If I don't take a cortisteroid I develop sinus headaches so I try to manage them with this type of drug. Overall it has been a good solution but your body might not agree. Good luck! | M | 53 | 150 days 1X day | 12/15/2015 | 1 | daughters allergies | Flashes of light, insomnia, talking in middle of night and not making any sense, panic attacks, depressed | I gave this to my daughter for just a couple of days. It was awful!!!! It took me a couple days to realize it was the nasacort. Doctors keep telling me that it wouldn't of caused these symptoms. She still has mild depression 6 months after taking it and was wondering if anyone out there has had long term effects?! | F | 9 | 4 days | 12/9/2015 | 3 | nasal congestion | Used nasacort for awhile, then the anxiety started slowly but increased in intensity to the point i could not relax at all and felt high anxiety daily. The began to have a chronic tickle in my throat that would make me cough all day. Also had to go to the eye dr as i started to see flashing lights in my left eye. Nasacort worked for my congestion, but not great. Going back on claratin. I was feeling worse with all the side effects as time went on. | Bad side effects over time. | F | 58 | 6 weeks 1 x | 11/10/2015 | 1 | blocked ears | Severe anxiety and never before panic attacks. I thought I was losing my mind. Cardiologist and ENT didn't make the correlation, and the allergist said it was safe. Primary care doctor put me on ativan and prescription for zoloft (which I thankfully didn't take). I finally figured it out and stopped taking the nasacort 3 weeks ago. No more racing heart and anxiety is much better. This should carry a big warning and doctors should be more aware of these side effects. | Works great on allergies, but definitely not worth it! | 52 | 6 months 1xday | 10/31/2015 | 3 | Nonallergic rhinitist | My 4 1/2 year old became hyper. Complained of feeling hot all the time. Hands and feet particularly hot and sweaty. I call it "steroidy." | I would not use this for a child. I will say it worked well, better than Flonase, but at least she does not have side effects with Flonase. | F | 4.5 | 3 days 110 mcg 2X day | 10/28/2015 |
