| 1 | chronic sinus | anxiety, nervousness, jittery | No heep whatsoever. I have had 4 sinus surgeries & am having the 5th in 10 days. In reading these postings,I see a lot of ppl who have holes in their septum. I have recently discovered this can be a common symptom for a disorder called Wegener's granulomatosis. This disorder is so rare that most doctors don't think to test for it. A rheumatologist found mine after I had seen approx. 12 doctors. It presents itself as common sinus problems. My bloodwork is positive, but a biopsy is needed, which I am having next week. This might be something you want to ask you doctor about if you are having numerous problems. | F | 47 | 7 days | 1/12/2008 | 4 | seasonal rhinitis | dizzyness | no one should stop taking a corticosteroid like this one cold turkey. stopping when i felt better made me really sick so my doctor said that i shouldn't have stopped abruptly. likewise an overdose can causeblurry vision, high blood pressure, increased urination, and excessive thirst. Symptoms of long term overdosing include acne, bone fracture, impotence in men, lack of or changes in menstruation, or muscle wasting | F | 35 | 1 months | 1/11/2008 | 5 | dust mite allergies | I started Rhinocort about 8 - 9 years ago and take it daily. It was a miracle with absolutely no adverse side effects. | I tried Flonase, but got a bloody nose; I tried Nasocort and Nasonex but one of these gave me a sore throat (managable but worrisome) and the other was not effective for me. One thing I have learned with other medications is that if you have any horomone deficiencies or imbalances, that could explain weird or atypical or rare side-effects. My hypothyroidism and other hormone issues are the reason I reacted (and still react) so horrifically to so many medicines. Just a thought. I love Rhinocort. Except for the minor inconvenience of having to use it twice a day, I generally forget that I even have allergies! It was a God send!!! Anything weird with your health in conjunction with low energy, weight gain, hair thinning...suspect hypothyroidism!!! It could explain strange reactions to various medications. | F | 52 | 8 years | 12/26/2007 | 1 | sinus,allergies | acid reflux, bad taste, and panic attacks !!! | Do not take this !!! I have had acid reflux for years with no problem when I take my meds, but with Rhinocort there was no controlling it. This scares me because I know a lady who died in her sleep due to acid reflux, this is not something to mess with !!! | F | 28 | 10 days | 12/20/2007 | 4 | Sinus Pain | Migraines, Bloody Nose, Irritability, Mood Changes. I had taken Rhinocort a few years ago and it really helped so I requested a refill. I haven't had a migraine in a few years, but have been spending $100.00's a month on Topamax thinking it was the migraine cure-all. Maybe it had been the Rhinocort causing it the whole time. | I do think it works better than Clariton D or other decongestants but I really am having a hard time with the migraines. After reading this forum, I think I will discontinue for a week or so and see if I return back to normal. P.S. I love the internet....these info forums are great!!! | F | 44 | 1 months | 12/9/2007 | 2 | swollen turbinates | lack of concentration and anxiety | M | 29 | 50 days | 12/9/2007 | 3 | Post nasal drip and resulting cough | Worked well on post nasal drip and cough after about three days. After a week, got bad rhinitis. Medicine did no good for rhinitis--perhaps made things worse by irritating nose lining. Still bad rhinitis after more than a week off the medication | Even with the rhinitis, the symptoms of post nasal drip and resulting cough have not reappeared. I can sleep better, but feel worse during the day--probably not worth the trade off. | M | 59 | 14 days | 11/26/2007 | 2 | allergies | After 2-3 days I developed extreme moodiness/irritability, increase in blood pressure, jitteriness, and difficulty sleeping. I also started noticing some cognitive problems (becoming forgetful, difficulty concentrating and remembering), which could be related to the other symptoms (e.g., lack of sleep, being jittery). | It did help the allergy symptoms, but given the side effects I will be looking for another option. It took me awhile to figure out that it was the Rhinocort because nowhere in the medication's literature is there any information about these sort of side effects. However, after I stopped taking it, the symptoms dissipated. I restarted it, and within 2-3 days the symptoms started again. | F | 38 | 6 weeks | 10/26/2007 | 1 | Sinus relief | Panic attacks, severe shortness of breath, elevated anxiety/stress | F | 39 | 4 days | 10/26/2007 | 1 | rhinitis | I used this spray for a year. The doctor told me to spray once daily. For a two week period, I was unable to aquire the spray and noticed my rhinitis was gone. I thought it was a coincidence and went back on the spray. My symptoms immediately returned. | F | 41 | 1 days | 10/17/2007 | 1 | Allergies | This medication did clear up my runny nose, but the symptoms were horrible! Constant achy bones, tired all the time, headache off and on, not clear headed, flu like symptoms, not sleeping well, terrible taste in mouth | When I stopped taking the medicine, I got tingly feeling all over (like pins and needles), nauseous | F | 54 | 3 months | 9/30/2007 | 5 | Common Cold | None, I feel strongly that some of the side effects experienced in some of these postings were occuring before the medicine was being taken. If you're taking the medication for your sinusitis or other similar reason, flu-like symptoms often occur anyway including muscle aches to having a virus or infection. Also panic attacks from a nasal steroid? Little skeptical. | I don't think any nasal steroid should be used on a daily continuing bases either. I would talk with your Doctor if you feel you need them that often. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 9/10/2007 | 4 | post nasal drip | weight gain, arthritis, swelling of eyes, racing heart beat | DO NOT use more than recommended, that is why I swelled up. The medicine stopped my post nasal drip! It is the ONLY thing I have tried that worked for me. I was just wondering if it is safe to just stop using a Steroid like Rhinocort? | F | 26 | 3 months | 7/28/2007 | 2 | Severe nasal congestion/allergies | BAD aches and pains (flu-like symptoms with aches from neck down to legs), fever, scratchy throat, sinus pressure, possible sinus infection. | Seems to have cleared up my nose - at least I can breathe again. However, these aches are SO bad that I'm going to stop taking it. There must be something better for me. | F | 46 | 4 days | 7/19/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Blood pressure skyrocketed, anxious feeling, nervous, panicky, irritable, went to Dr. because I thought my thyroid meds were off - they turned out fine. Then I found this webiste and now know what is causing it. | Will only use one spray every toher day or so if absolutely necessary. Was on this a year ago and didn't experience any side effects then. | F | 37 | 7 days | 6/25/2007 | 1 | seasonal allergies | sneezing migraine headaches hives 2 weeks with rash in both arms and legs | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 6/23/2007 | 1 | Allergy | Although it cleared up my sinuses, Rhinocort also kept me awake all night. | My physician provided me with Allegra D, Singular and Rhinocort and said I could take them together, if necessary. Allegra did nothing, Singular seemed the most effective. One day when neither Allegra nor Singular together was working, I also inhaled the Rhinocort. The relief was nearly immediate, but sleep never came that night and literally saw every hour on the clock until morning. | M | 46 | 1 days | 6/21/2007 | 1 | chronic rhinitis | None | I took this med for 2 months and experienced NO RELIEF - in fact, my nasal congestion seemed to continually worsen. I had to start using over the counter nasal sprays and breathe-right strips during the last 2 weeks I took the med. I started using Nasonex about 2 weeks ago and the change is phenomenal - within 3 days I felt 100 times better! | F | 27 | 2 months | 6/21/2007 | 3 | Deviated septum | Irritability, funny taste in mouth, food & drinks taste sour. | Trying this to see if this offers relief before going ahead with septoplasty. [email protected] | M | 38 | 2 days | 6/19/2007 | 5 | nasal allergies | none | im allergic to cigarette smoke (sounds weird) my nose gets all stuffy so anytime i experience this...with 1-2 sprays it's been pretty magical! | F | 24 | 1 years | 5/28/2007 |
