| 1 | Allergies | Lightheaded, anxious , jittery, nervous, heart racing, insomnia | I would not recommend trying this. The side effects aren't worth it. | F | 52 | 3 days 55 mcg | 10/10/2015 | 3 | sinus infection | Severe headache, jaw and teeth pain/pressure, a little dizziness/weakness and sleepless nights. | Seemed to work, however can't take the side effects. Will try my nedi pot | F | 61 | 3 days 1/2 ×D | 10/6/2015 | 4 | Nasal congestion | I feel slightly hyper and it's a little hard to concentrate on my work. I also feel slightly, slightly anxious and irritable. | I wanted something to open my sinus passages. The sinus membranes were swollen making it difficult to breathe, but I had no drainage. This happens to me often due to allergies. The first day I sprayed one dose in each nostril. My sinuses cleared up fairly quickly, but I started to experience a hyperactive feeling. The next morning I decided to spray one dose in one nostril so I could have some of the benefits without suffering from insomnia, since I had read that some people have insomnia with this medicine. This morning I sprayed one dose in the other nostril. My nasal passages are fairly clear, but I feel hyper and I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight. I think I'm going to wait a few days before using any more nasacort. If my sinuses get blocked again, I think I'll follow the same process I just outlined. | F | 49 | 3 days 1X day | 9/17/2015 | 1 | Sinusitis, allergies | I have used this off an on, but after I start using it, my blood pressure rises up higher and I feel an even more intense head pressure when using it. I'm going to not use it tonight and watch all week to see if it gets better again. | F | 47 | 12 months 110 mcg 1X day | 9/13/2015 | 1 | Clogged nose at night. | I started Nasacort three days ago. The same day I started it, my left eye felt like it had sand in it. It was very painful and relieved by some eye drops. I have never suffered from dry eye before, so I have to attribute it to the Nasacort. I see I am not the only one who reacted this way. The Nasacort did help to make the swelling go down in my nasal passages, but it is NOT worth the eye pain it caused. I will be stopping it today! | F | 67 | 3 days 2 sprays 1X day | 9/4/2015 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | I am so thankful to finally read there are other people having side effects to Nasacort. I am just starting to put 2 and 2 together that possibly this could be the reasons of my stomach issues which I have been experiencing?? I started having diarrhea problems in March which that is when I began using Nasacort, however never thought it was the nasal spray because I had just recuperated from being sick for a month with a viral infection ...I use the spray at bedtime, which my ENT recommended to do. I also get a scratchy throat and cough after dose, headaches , tooth pain, ringing in the ears, heartburn, indigestion, belching ,upper and lower abdominal upsets. The worst is the watery diarrhea within 8 hours after using. I also read more about the side effects and I am stopping the Nasacort as of today and going back to using Allegra or Claritin which aren't as effective but seem safer than Nasacort. Who would have thought a nasal spray could cause so many side effects especially in | Nasacort does clear up my allergic reactions. Was a relief to not have excessive sneezing, runny nose, watery or itchy eyes. HOWEVER the side effects are too many and very concerning so I am discontinuing using it. I am seeing a Gastro Dr soon because my stomach issues have become worse over time. I am hoping the side effects didn't cause permanent damage ? I DO NOT recommend taking this medicine. | F | 64 | 5 months 55 mcg 1X day | 8/18/2015 | 2 | Chronic nasal congestion | Minor anxiety, serious inhibition of wound healing. | It did relieve nasal congestion somewhat, but after 10 days I noticed that some minor cuts on my leg were not healing. After reading that wound healing inhibition is a possible side effect of Nasacort, I stopped using it and the cuts began healing normally. | M | 71 | 10 days 30 mg 1X day | 7/18/2015 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | I started having severe nosebleeds the second year of taking Nasacort. I cut back to 110 mcg per day and then quit taking it altogether but am still having nosebleeds. I will probably consult a physician if I continue to have nosebleeds. | M | 68 | 2 years 220 mcg 1X day | 7/10/2015 | 1 | Clogged Nose | insomnia, vomiting, vertigo, psychosis (loss of self), numbness, shortness of breath, anxiety, panic attack, fever, mood swings | This sh* is horrible. I would not recommend it even on my enemy. I thought I was dying one night. I actually had brief thoughts of suicide. I was thinking to myself -- God, this is what it is like. First off, I was using Nasacort while I was interviewing for a job. Thus, I thought the anxiety and stress was from the job. When I got the job, which I dreamed of, I wasn't so happy, and I was still stressed. For the month I was using the drug, I suffered fever as well as vertigo. I threw up 6 times after only 3 beers --- I knew something was off. Currently, I am experiencing numbness, but I remain optimistic that it will subside soon. Definitely threw Nasacort in the garbage. I think because I naturally suffer from shortness of breath, the Nasacort opened my lungs and worked as prescribed. However, I was so used to breathing a certain way that when I took Nasacort, I felt a shortness of breath, and it felt like I was not taking complete breaths. | M | 26 | 1 months 55 1X day | 6/30/2015 | 1 | Allergy relief | I had a clear nose when I used it on the 5th day since it seemed to be working. I sprayed in each nostril and immediately started to violently sneeze, wheeze, my nasal passages swelled shut, and my nose began to run profusely. Since I take my allergy meds at night, I was unable to sleep causing for a horrible work day. This drug is supposed to relieve symptoms for 24 hours not cause them to start and last for 24 hours. | I will stick to my Zyrtec. | F | 26 | 5 days 2 sprays | 6/13/2015 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Extreme upper back pain | Not only didn't it begin to clear up my congestion, it landed me in the emergency room with extreme upper back pain. | M | 71 | 3 days 30 mg 1X day | 6/9/2015 | 3 | Practically continuous allergies | Tightness in chest, wheezing (especially at night). Dry cough. | This drug was truly a Miracle for me, it Completely eliminated ALL of my allergy symptoms = I rarely am able to breathe through my nose at all, sinus drainage, itchy eyes, sneezing. Nasacort changed my life...for a couple weeks. Then I began to have symptoms of a person who smokes 3 packs a day, I had periodic wheezing spells, and it began to interrupt my sleep so I had to quit. Very Sad. I have been off it a week, and symptoms are finally fading. I may try it again during worst part of Spring. Good luck, I hope it works for you. | M | 49 | 2 weeks 1 spray ea 1X day | 6/2/2015 | 2 | Nasal Allergies, sneezing attacks | 24 hours later achey and swollen knees. Seems to exacerbate aches and pains. Can't tell if it contributed to a longer headache or not. Not willing to try again because the achey knees were almost instant. | Was told by my daughter that her doctor recommended it over Flonase and that it is less likely to cause side effects. I have to disagree. | F | 57 | 1 days 2sprays/no | 6/1/2015 | 1 | Sinus congestion with allergies | SEVERE TOOTH AND FACIAL PAIN | F | 53 | 1 days | 5/31/2015 | 1 | Hay fever | i haven't had a migraine for almost 15 years, but within about an hour of taking this drug was completely incapacitated. Also had panic attacks for no reason. I'm throwing this away. I would much rather deal with sneezing. Destroyed my day. | F | 45 | 1 days | 5/31/2015 | 3 | Seasonal and year round Allergies | Worked Fantastic like no other, But then the side effects kicked in hard in the 3rd week. SEVERE joint pain( to the point of thinking I had arthritis or bone cancer) , overall flu feeling, rashes and general skin itiching, exaustion, Body aches, My index and middle finger are numb from the tips to the middle nuckle on my left hand. Such a bummer because it's the only thing in 30 years that I've found that really works. Back to zyrtec. I hope the nasacort withdrawal symptoms aren't worse than the side effects. | M | 45 | 21 days 55 mcg 1X day | 5/16/2015 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Nausea, headaches, stomach pain & cough | Not worth the side effects ! | F | 49 | 5 days normal | 5/6/2015 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Dizziness, felt like I was in the clouds, loss of appetite, dry throat. | It did help with the allergy symptoms for sure but I could not handle the side effects. I would rather suffer with blowing my nose. | F | 46 | 7 days | 5/3/2015 | 1 | regular seasonal allergies | Extreme nerve pain in my face, I had to shut all lights off. It would come in waves always increasing in length, I wrote the makers of it and described what was happening and never heard back. I'm sure it was like 1-1000000 chance that anyone reacts to it that way. I can say this it was the only relief I've ever gotten from my allergies but obviously the pain was debilitating couldn't speak, drive or move for that matter | M | 29 | 1 months 110 | 4/30/2015 | 1 | allergies | Jittery, nervous, quick temper (OTC bottle states 55 mcg per spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once a day, tapering to 1 spray in each nostril once a day). | Have bad allergies, usually just breath thru mouth all the time. Tried Nasacort OTC, it does open up sinus BUT by day 4 the jitters had be wondering what was going on. Its like having 5 pots of coffee. If you're a smoker, its like you haven't had a smoke in 10 hours. I've been trying to figure out what in the world was going on because I'm not doing anything else differently. Got online this morning, typed Nasacort and nervousness and found this site. Can't thank the posters enough for reporting this. Tossing the Nasacort. I'd rather breath thru the mouth than be this dang jittery. | F | 52 | 5 days 55 mcg 1X day | 4/28/2015 |
