| 4 | Allergies/Sinuses | Nose bleeds and dry nasal passages | I've used nasacort since I was a teenager, it's always been effective for my hay fever. In the winter I use it occassionally in combination with Simply Saline. Simply Saline usually keeps my sinuses clear but if I feel allergies act up I give nasacort a day or two to do it's job and i'm go again! I do experience really dry nasal passages in the winter and nose bleeds if I don't use simply saline consistently with it! | 29 | 1X day | 12/2/2014 | 3 | Runny nose, watery eyes, post nasal | I was thrilled to find something that relieved my symptoms but didn't make me sleepy but then noticed I had an intermittent fever and dizziness. Stopped taking nasacort and symptoms subsided. Started again and they returned, so I can only guess it's side effects of the spray. I'm so bummed now I have to go back to runny everything unless I can find something that doesn't have side effects. | Any recommendations? | F | 54 | 3 months | 11/14/2014 | 4 | Severe sinus infection for 3 months | Anxiety, body aches, headache,flushing jitters, nause & dizziness . | I'm feeling much better. No sinus pressure. Will use again only when needed due to issues w side effects. | F | 37 | 2 days 50 MCG | 11/12/2014 | 2 | chronic stuffy nose at night | oral thrush, fatigue, weakness | It worked great on my nose but is not worth the side effects. I was ok with it now and then until I started using it regularly. I may try it again if I have a bad cold but I'll put up with the stuffy nose instead of these side effects. | F | 68 | 3 years 30 mg 1X day | 11/9/2014 | 1 | Post-nasal drip, allergies | Panic attacks, insomnia, sore throat, dizziness, increase anxiety, horrible feeling. | My doctor never told me there may be side effects. I haven't gotten a decent night's sleep since I started taking this. I never associated my insomnia with this drug until I saw it on this web site--thank you! | M | 64 | 5 days 1X day | 11/9/2014 | 2 | Seasonal allergies/stuffy nose | Headache, stiff neck, muscle weakness (calves and hamstrings), very stiff back, anxiety, depression, brain fog. | Initially Nasacort was exceptional --- none of the psychotic effects of Flonase and Nasonex and relieved allergy symptoms. That lulled me to sleep. For the last six months I have had the symptoms noted with increasing regularity. I have missed two doses and the symptoms have begun to subside. My recommendation would be to watch symptoms carefully and limit usage to short term. | M | 67 | 6 months 2X day | 10/26/2014 | 5 | Very bad sinus problem | I gain significantly since taking nasacort nasal spray. Other than that, it works very well.. | F | 37 | 4 months | 10/17/2014 | 1 | Swollen sinuses | After a few days, I was afflicted w/ a dreadful sinus infection which lasted for weeks, the syptoms of which are much more severe than those which were supposedly being treated. | Seemed to help @ first. | M | 76 | 5 days 2X day | 9/29/2014 | 4 | Unbearable hay fever | Immune system suppression | I have used Nasacort off and on for years, first as prescription and recently as OTC. It is the only medication that truly relieves my unbearable hay fever. Not even allergy shots with antihistamines worked as well. But for me, it has a very serious side effect of suppressing my entire immune system. - I come down with more viruses (colds). Sores such as from biting my tongue and dermal cuts take a long time to heal. I also will get candida infections (thrush) if I stay on this medication too long. I find I can cut back the dosage to a spray once every few days to once per week once the worst of my hay fever subsides. I like Loratadine (Claritin) as a constant med. Initially, Nasacort works within 24-48 hours and is a god-send. | M | 51 | 2 sprays 1X day | 9/24/2014 | 1 | seasonal allergies | On my 3rd day with Nasacort. I've had very itchy skin (all over) since the first day. Bad insomnia last night (and I have never had insomnia before). And bloodshot eyes (but that may be from the insomnia). | It doesn't appear to be more effective than Zyrtec. In fact, it may be less effective. I'll give it one more day, but I'll probably go back to Zyrtec. | M | 46 | 3 days 1X day | 9/18/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergies/sinus pain | Severe headache and major itching of my skin. | F | 39 | 2 days | 9/15/2014 | 1 | seasonal allergies | I had high anxiety and panic attacks, joint pain. Did'nt now it was the nasacort until I stopped using it after reading the comments on this web site. | I had terrible withdrawals when I quit, my gp told me I did not have to withdraw slowly, I'm working on my Fourth week of stopping nasacort and I still have jitters and anxiety, how long did it take for other peoples reactions to go away, appetite is back and joint pain is gone, brain fog is going away also. | F | 50 | 4 months 1 squirt 1X day | 9/3/2014 | 1 | blocked eustacean tube | First week, eye pain, tearing, neck pain, weakness, fatigue. Re-read brochure & cut dose to 1 spray per day. (Dr on holidays.) Eye symptoms disappeared. However, fatigue, weakness intensified; severe insomnia appeared, along with growing irritation, and now cystitis. I have quit taking it. | F | 60 | 12 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/22/2014 | 2 | congestion, seasonal allergies | tooth pain, sensitivity to cold and hot. never had before taking nasacort | M | 6 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 8/21/2014 | 3 | Stuffy nose, weaning off Afrin | My nasal symptoms are better, but I'm experiencing non-stop twitching in my left quadriceps muscle and dull pain in both calves. The pain feels like it's about to become a charley horse. | My main goal was to wean off Afrin, so I'm going to quit the Nasacort and see if the muscle symptoms resolve. If I'm less dependent on Afrin going forward, then I'll count the short term experience with Nasacort as a success. | F | 43 | 7 days 1 puff 1X day | 8/15/2014 | 3 | sinus inflammation, ear fluid | I've been taking this for months now due to chronic sinus inflammation. Does seem to help keep the swelling down. But it does nothing for my ear fluid issue and I always feel clogged and lightheaded. Doctor says it should help, but it doesn't help with those issues. | Good for sinus inflammation. Bad for other allergy issues, including clogged ears and itchiness. | F | 28 | 5 months 1X day | 8/9/2014 | 1 | Seasonal allergies, Sinus headaches | Subconjunctival Hemorrhage (Broken blood vessel in eye). Decreased night vision. | I have normal/low blood pressure and am very athletic. When lifting heavy items which I commonly do I noticed one day that half of the white of one of my eyes was filled with blood. Never in my life has this happened and all of a sudden I started popping blood vessels in my eyes. I also noticed my night vision (while driving) was decreasing, this started before I started popping blood vessels in my eyes. I figured out it had to be the Nasacort and stopped using it, soon after my night vision returned to normal and I haven't popped any more blood vessels in my eyes. | M | 48 | 2 months 1X day | 8/8/2014 | 4 | Severe indoor and outdoor allergies | I have tried many allergy medications with no success. I saw a commercial for nasacort and decided to give it a try and it works wonders. I do have a dry nose and occasional sores, but that is worth it to finally have some allergy relief. I realize that a lot of the posts on here talk about the terrible side effects, but keep in mind that people usually only post things when they have a complaint, there are many more satisfied customers than unsatisfied ones. Nasacort really works and is worth a try if your allergies are as bad as mine. | F | 21 | 3 months 1x | 7/28/2014 | 1 | severe allergies | M | 47 | 2 months 1 dailey | 7/25/2014 | 5 | 2 weeks ago | I used nasacort to transition off of Afrin. Used them together for about a week, then dropped the Afrin with no rebound congestion. If I've experienced any sides, I haven't noticed because I am blown away that it took away Afrin rebound and I am no longer a slave to that poison | M | 29 | 1 days 4 squirts | 7/24/2014 |
