| 2 | allergies | hole in septum | It worked great to reduce allergy symptoms but after years of use I have a big hole in my septum right through to the other nostril. | F | 52 | 5 years | 4/7/2009 | 5 | allergies to pet dogs | no negative side effects | i lived with severe allergy attacks to pet dogs for several years. went on rhinocort and cured! have been taking it for @8-9 years. if i forget to take it for a couple of days sneezing, running stuffy nose start. | F | 37 | 8 years | 3/7/2009 | 2 | Blocked nose | headaches and weight gain even when exercising. | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 2/26/2009 | 1 | Dust Mite Allergies | Racing heatbeats and anxiety I can guarantee. Other side effects are harder to be sure of but I wouldn't rule out sleep problems and a general dizzyness/unfocussed feeling. | Have taken this drug on and off for probably around 10 years to 'help' my congested nose and improve my skin problems(dermatitis) - generally at a change of season. You'll all be familiar with the taste as it dribbles down the back of yr throat for a few minutes after taking it. Currently looking for a natural alternative... | M | 35 | 10 years | 2/23/2009 | 1 | simple allergies | panic disorder acid reflux anemia insomnia n i have these for the rest of my life | it all started with a phungus infection in my esophagus... i starved for like a month. i was dying n loosing a pound each day. when i got cured from that i still had the rest to worry about . i have been living this way for the past 8 years | F | 18 | 2 days | 2/19/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infections / Allergies | Many of the side effects I got from Rhinocort, I didn't realize were due to Rhinocort, so I took it for almost two years until I did some research on it. I stopped promptly after. This is what happened to me. Facial swelling. Weight gain. Crazy weight gain. When I started taking it i was 6'1" 180 and after 6 months of Rhinocort I was 219! Stopped taking it and after another few months, without really trying, I'm back down to 190. Terrible insomnia. Anxiety. Every once in a while I'd get weird heart palpitation that were really scary. | I hated this medication. I would strongly recommend NOT taking it. Ever. No matter what. | M | 24 | 2 years | 1/5/2009 | 1 | allergies | cleared up my nose but caused horrible panic attacks. as soon as i stopped rhinocort i was 100% normal. this drug is very dangerous. | M | 24 | 90 days | 1/4/2009 | 5 | allergies | none | This is the only thing that has ever worked for me other than Benadryl (which makes me too tired to use it daily). | F | 2 years | 11/23/2008 | 1 | sinusitis | panic attaks every day, nauasea, general feeling unwell. | my son was prescribed this drug for a continual blocked nose. No warning are given about the possiable side effects like emotional or behavoural changes. We only connected tho 2 when the only change in his life was rhinocort. Then it was realised that the paic attacks that were occuring every day started 7 days after taking the drug. The attacks stopped 7 days after the last dose. He took this for a month. He is 11. Always be aware of any drug even something as unsuspecting as a nasal spray. On the up side it did stop the blocked nose. We have told him he can live with that. He agrees. | M | 11 | 30 days | 11/18/2008 | 4 | hay fever | vaginal itch/severe thrush | rhinocort work ++well with hay fever, was previously unable to sleep, could not stop sneezing, runny nose very miserable, always about a week into treatment got thrush. I only use it in the spring/hayfever season | F | 37 | 2 years | 11/11/2008 | 5 | allergies | F | 45 | 3 years | 10/26/2008 | 1 | hayfever | extremely dry throat, difficulty breathing ,my brain feels like it is getting squeezed every time i cough ,painful to cough tired feverish then cold | I would much rather be sneezing with a runny nose if it gets 10% worse i am heading for the hospital or definitely going to the doctors in the morning | M | 31 | 2 days | 9/30/2008 | 1 | allergies | I've been on Rhinocort for 6 years, I now have yeast infections that are hard to cure and I used this ONLY when needed and never figured out the connection until reading others responses to this drug. I have had panic attacks, aches, roscea, major sleep loss, you name it has happen and not one doctor told me ANY of THOSE side affects. Also, there is a drug interaction with any fungus medications. The doctors that prescribed these meds DID know that I was on Rhinocort, but they never get on the internet apparently... I now know why my quality of life has been so poor, thanks to Rhinocort. | M | 43 | 6 years | 8/5/2008 | 3 | stuffed up left nose and left ear | Headache, excess stomach acidity. | RhinoCort cleared up my nasal stuffiness. After using it a few days, I started getting stomach upset due to excess acidity, which I normally can control with Zantac. The last 3 days, the excess acidity has not responded to Zantac. I also have a vague headache, which is unusual for me. Will stop using RhinoCort and see if these symptoms go away. The stuffiness in my left ear did not go away with use of RhinoCort for 9 days. | F | 68 | 9 days | 8/3/2008 | 5 | allergies | I can breathe! | I have tried many things over the years, to some extent helpful, or not. After sinus surgery, my ENT said he would not continue to treat me unless I continued to take the meds, and this one has worked, along with the pulmicort for lungs. | F | 53 | 10 years | 6/12/2008 | 2 | Nasal congestion | I'm am 100% sure that these are side effects of this drug for many: 1. Dizziness 2. Increased ringing in ears 3. PANIC ATTACKS 4. Anxiety 5. Inability to sleep 6. Confusion or lack of clarity. 7. Sinus pressure | I don't have any mental health issues so I thought it was WAY wacky that I was having panic attacks. Why was I having panic attacks? I'm not afraid of anything and I have no stress. This drug CAN cause panic attacks! No doubt! This drug works for clearing the nose, but makes you crazy after a few weeks. Not for me! | M | 38 | 4 weeks | 6/4/2008 | 1 | Suspected Sinsitus | Resulted in Insomnia, Mild Chest pain and minor nose bleed. | I have been off it for more than 2 weeks....and still can't sleep. | M | 48 | 18 days | 3/31/2008 | 1 | allergies and sinusitis | No positive results. | Save your money. | M | 60 | 2 years | 3/11/2008 | 4 | Middle ear infection | Weight gain, increased energy, headaches, joint stiffness | I only need to take this for 10 days when I get a middle ear infection and it does clear it up without antibiotics. But I gain weight & there is a withdrawl from it with joint stiffness for a couple weeks afterwards. I can't use Nasonex because it causes premature heartbeats. | F | 49 | 10 days | 2/26/2008 | 3 | sinusitus | anxiousness, paranoia, mood swings | The medicine worked very well for my symptoms, but the side effects are not acceptable to me to continue the use. I noticed the behavioral changes began soon after I began using the medication but only recently did I connect them to the med. Much better mood after usage has stopped. | M | 31 | 2 years | 2/21/2008 |
