 5  allergies None. This is the only allergy medicine that works for me. I've been diagnosed with allergies for 15 years, and nothing else works on my allergies. I think all of these other comments only illustrate the point that you should search for an allergy med that works for you with the least amount of side-effects. M 35 4 months

 3  Hayfever (actually year-round cold) Bloody nose Had an effect, but also bad side effects. I'm that 10% apparently. Not worth it since I don't like to have sores in my nose and blood all over. I've been told about others with same issue who destroyed their noses and got permanent problems with sores, so I stopped. M 28 1 months

 5  Nasal blockage/alergies I havent noticed any side effects myself I have had problems with a blocked nose especially at night and loss of taste. I had surgery after visiting an ENT specialist a few years ago but the problem started to reoccur. After going back to the doctor again she reccommended Rhinocort and it has really helped, my snoring has even stopped. My doctor warned me to make sure the spray is taken properly and taken deep in to sinuses not to back of throat as you will just swallow the steroid, I think that is what a lot of people might be having a problem with here ie jittery effects, nervousness. I personally am very happy! F 29 20 days

 3  sinitus Twitching nerves, severe itching, hot ears, some tingling in fingers first few days. I was given a nasal spray to help my sinitus which was causing bad headaches and a badly blocked nasal tube. It made me itch really badly, even after i stopped taking it - i would itch everyday. So she gave me anti-histemines to stop the itching and also gave me rhinocort and said i wouldn't itch from it. It makes me itch a hell of a lot. It drives me insane - there's nothing worse than itching. So i take doses of rhinocort and an allergy pill at the same time so i don't itch. My ears get hot, nerves in my fingers and face twitch for ages. The only reason i gave it a rating of 3 was because i no longer get the horrible headaches and thick mucus up the left nasal passage. It's all a bit of a nightmare, though. I hate spraying chemicals up my nose. And it looks like i'll be doing it for the rest of my life. ): F 18

 3  nasal congestion/runny nose/sneezin It did clear up the congestion I haven't been able to manage for months with anything else but over-the-counter decongestant nose spray. I have been feeling very dizzy, light-headed and unfocused, quick visual movements make me nauseous, my eyes feel very dry. I have slept 10 hours during the last few nights, but wake up feeling completely unrested. Also feeling slightly depressed. I usually have none of the above issues and feel very healthy (minus the nose bother of course...), and symptoms have only appeared after use of Rhinocort. Will try and lower usage to every other day or less to see if side effects subside. If they don't, will still consider taking it every once in a while to break the congestion / inflammation circle.

 1  Constant blocked nose This stuff seemed to be working well for me but then I started waking up in the middle of the night with the sensation that I'd stopped breathing. I thought I had sleep apnoea. During the day I felt like my throat was constricted and there was a tightness in my lungs stopping be from breathing properly. I started having very weird dreams as well, and even panic attacks as described by others (maybe just due to the fact I couldn't breathe properly!) It was a little while before I made a connection between these symptoms and rhinocort, but when I found this website I stopped taking it immediately, and now all those symptoms have disappeared! Unfortunately my blocked nose has come back! Anyway, it might work for some but not for me. M 34 6 months

 2  allergic rhinitis Rash on lips and fingers, swollen face, excessively runny nose. I tried this drug twice- quit using it the first time after about a month. The only real side effect that time was the rash, and I didn't put it together with the Rhinocort. The second time, I was able to use it for about a week before I got the rash, swollen face, and my nose started to run like crazy. F 33 10 days

 5  Rhinocort Acqua best stuff one can use This stuff is absolutely amazing. Absolutely no side effects and it is discouraging that the crap posted on here may turn people away from using this drug. M 32 1 years

 3  Nasal allergies Taking Rhinocort for almost 2 years. At the same time started having nose bleeds. It really helped with allergies, but several nose bleeds a day. None lasting very long but seem to stop after a few weeks of stopping the Rhinocort. M 16 2 years

 2  ear pain, sinus congestion Nausea, headache, dizziness Worked great on my sinus congestion but I had significant nausea, headache, dizziness, and generally felt out of it (spent much of the time curled up in fetal position on my couch). We tried cutting the dosage but I still felt horrible. Today is the first day I am off it and my congestion is back but I feel so much better with the other symptoms. F 38 3 days

 1  sinus initial brief use relieved symtoms - futher use seemed to have counter effect and ended up with bleeding and blood closts Initial use -GP prescribed- first one/two uses cleared, further use briefly cleared and then seemed to worsen - stopped. 2nd time - allergist - tried several times when sinus bad - same effect but this time ended up with bleeding and blood clots -which stopped when stopped Rhinocort. OK if only used 2 -3 times - then rebound effect and bleeding. For sinus best thing is Sinus Wash - no side effects. F 58 3 days

 2  Nasal Congestion Heart palpitations and panic attacks. I have no mental health issues and this occured after about 10-15 days of useage. It panic attacks went away when I stopped using Rhinocort. Plus, it made me moody. It worked well on the nasal congestion, but side effects were too bad to continue. M 39 15 days

 3  post nasal drip 2-3 hours after taking Rhinocort voice box felt "coated". Resulted in voice being husky and couldn't speak properly. Other people commented on change in vocals too. After 7 days of use this reaction started. Skipped a day and noticed this reaction stopped. Had Rhinocort the next day and same reaction happened. It did stop the post nasal drip. F 42 7 days

 2  hayfever heart palpitations, racing heart I had taken Rhinocort successfully for 5 years for hayfever. After a bout of shingles I started getting a very fast heart rate to the point of complete exhaustion. A few weeks later worrying heart palpitations started. After 6 weeks and many doctor ordered tests, I made the connection myself and went off Rhinocort. The racing heart slowed within 3-5 days, the palpitations eased after 3-5 weeks. I now feel like I have more energy than I've had in years. I am taking an antihistamine for the hayfever. F 42 5 years
