NASACORT  (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE):  This medication is used in a variety of conditions such as allergic disorders, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing problems, certain cancers, eye diseases, intestinal disorders, collagen and skin diseases. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of triamcinolone, especially if it is to be injected near your spine (epidural). Rare but serious side effects may occur with epidural use. Triamcinolone acetonide is known as a corticosteroid hormone (glucocorticoid). It works by decreasing your body's immune response to these diseases and reduces symptoms such as swelling.   FDA Approval Date: 1991-07-11 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Seasonal Allergies I bought the over the counter Nasacort 24 hour that is supposed to be prescription strength for allergies. I had muscle soreness, extreme fatigue, insomnia, vision changes but the worst was depression. It took me awhile to figure out it was the Nasacort doing this to me.The symptoms are starting to go away and I will never that Nasacort again. F 39 40 days

 1  Nasal stuffiness at night Facial numbness: the whole left side of my face started tingling and felt numb like when novocaine is wearing off. My internist was concerned about stroke and ordered a brain scan (MRI) which was normal. My facial numbness has mostly gone away now 2 weeks after discontinuing Nasacort Allergy 24HR. I cannot be positive my symptoms were the Nasacort, but I fairly strongly believe it was. It worked very well in decongesting me at night; it was superior to fluticasone (Flonase). However, nothing is worth a numb face and worrying about a stroke; it was extremely disconcerting. M 66 2 months

 3  seasonal allergies Nausea. Nausea. Nausea. Weird cough. Not sleeping. I'm going to stop. I've gone through 3 days of feeling I have all day morning sickness. Sense of smell is also sharper, just like my two pregnancies, and that brings on worsening nausea. Allergy symptoms are much better than with the 24 hour pill I was taking but the constant nausea is not worth it. F 54 5 days

 5  seasonal allergies Definately helped my stuffy nose and seasonal allergies. A bonus for me is that I have suffered with dry eye syndrome for a couple of years. I couldn't afford the Restasis treatment. Surprisingly after starting Nasocort, i noticed my affected eye no longer weeps at night and swells. Very happy. F 42 1 months

 3  Seasonal and chemical allergies It was too strong in the dosage recommended, I had headaches, dizziness and insomnia. I would go to bed at midnight but wake up at 3am everyday and not be able to sleep. The insomnia, dizziness and headaches went away after I started using Nasacort less frequently, every other day instead and one dosage a day too. It's been controlling my allergies pretty well now and I can actually sleep at night. F 37 7 days

 3  Seasonal allergies I've had 3 nosebleeds in the past 30 hours. I'm not sure it's the Nasacort but I've never in my 42 year had a nosebleed until now. I had horrible spring allergies this year and Nasacort has been the only med that helped, until the nosebleeds. I've skipped two doses now and my allergies are coming back so I know it did work, but not worth the nosebleeds. F 42 2 months

 1  Allergies My stuffy nose cleared up, but I felt anxiety, panic and anger. Was wondering what was going on with me. I stopped taking the Nasacort because my nose was cleared, the stuffy feeling came back so I took a dose, and the anxiety, anger and shortness of breath came back. First day back off and still feel anxiety. F 52 4 days

 1  Seasonal allergies For the first few days of taking Nasacort, I was really impressed with how my allergies immediately cleared (and I had pretty miserable allergies). I started getting a sharp headache in my temples and eyes which continued for days and days. Advil or ibuprofen did nothing to help, nor did sleep. Still have the headache; it's kept me bed-ridden, kept me from working and made me feel sooo tired. I also noticed soreness and stiffness in my neck, back and legs, which gets even worse after exercise. Makes me feel so much older than I am! F 21 2 weeks

 5  Sinus Congestion Overall, I feel like this product does what it is designed to do. My congestion is 90% better, and I feel much better. I did have a nosebleed on day 7, but I'm not entirely sure it's due to the Nasacort, as I've had semi-frequent nosebleeds since I was a child. It does take a couple days of use to get the full effect of the medication. I'm satisfied with it. M 24 7 days

 3  Seasonal Allergies At first the medication worked well, and greatly improved my seasonal allergy symptoms. I was really hapy with how much better I felt. The second month of using it, 1 squirt each nostril per day, I developed aching neck, back, some dizziness and tingling in my legs and feet. I stopped taking the medication and these symptoms stopped. I am disappointed that the medication only worked for me without uncomfortable side effects for a short time. F 46 53 days

 4  I have cats and hardwood allergies I haven't really had any noticeable side effects. It has not affected my personality or made me gain weight or any of the crazy side effects I have read here. I already had cataracts so I can't blame Nasacort for them. :) I already had problems with a stiff neck on occasion. I do make sure I never take more than prescribed. 2 squirts a day in each nostril and I do it only 4 days a week, sometimes 5 and I keep my nose moisturized with Alcolol. I'm glad I don't have all of the side effects other people have experienced as I need this real bad. I have 10 cats and I didn't use to be allergic to them. The allergy is mild but enough that I get stuffed up. I'm just thankful it doesn't effect me badly but I will pay close attention to any and all possibilities in the future. F 61 3 months
