 1  chronic rhinitis Upon first dose, and continuing: mild headache, very dry throat. Day 3 (last day): extreme panic attack, out of the blue. I had generalized anxiety disorder and was on Zoloft for 3 years in my teens, and know what a panic attack feels like. This one was the worst I can remember having. Strongly do not reccomend. None of the medical literature notes this potential side effect, but this was my only medication. I would rather have a stuffy nose, congested ears, and tinnitus than feel crazy! F 22 3 days

 2  Nasal Congestion Flu-like symptoms - Moderate head & body aches, lack of energy, sleepleness. I use a CPAP machine to help me breath at night and my nasal passages would close up during the night, my doctor gave me a sample of Rhinocort. Since starting I can breath throughout the night with no problem but I cannot take the side effectsany longer. I will be asking for a different drug this week. I suggest that you ask your doctor for a sample of this drug and use it before having a prescription filled M 36 3 weeks

 1  allergies irritated nose, tingling face, vagueness, swelling in hands and feet, racing heart beat, headaches, blurry or hazy vision, feelings of anxiety and depression, inability to get a good nights sleep, breathlessness, loss of ability to exercise without losing breath extremely quickly. It alleviated the allergies but the side effects are not worth it. I would not reccomend using this product. I am only sorry that I have used it for so long without taking the time to research it.

 5  Chronic Rhinitis None Excellent results for me. I can breath through my nose, which allows me to enjoy food, sleep better at night breathing through my nose and not my mouth (it has reduced my snoring). My allergic nasal symptoms are gone. M 41 7 years

 4  Post Nasal Drip Dizziness, fast heart beat, anxiety symptoms. Rhinocort has helped my post nasal drip. I just don't like the side effects. I didn't have these side effects everyday. My side effects would come and go. Everybody is diffrent and all drugs have side effects. M 32 1 years

 4  Middle ear infection After the tenth day of using Rhinocort before bed, I started to wake up in the morning feeling anxious and my muscles were very tense & my mouth was dry all day. I forgot to use the medicine on the 11th night so I took it in the AM instead. I got very anxious and experienced premature heartbeats all day long. My joints are achy too & my eyes are sensitive to light & I have a headache. My sinuses responded quicker to the Rhinocort than with the Nasonex. I don't know if this is healing the ear infection or it's cause for the long run though. I am also taking Allegra 180 and Amoxicillin. I am stopping the Rhinocort now as I was only supposed to take it for 14 days & I'll stop 3 days short of that, but I cannot put up with premature heartbeats and anxiety. No one needs to take or keep taking any medicine that causes this. F 48 11 days

 1  Tinnitus/ my sinuses are narrower I tried Nasonex and it irritated my throat so i switched to Rhinort. On the first day of Rhinocort, it affected my breathing and severe headache ensued within three hours. I thought it was normal and if i kept with it, it would go away, well now i'm on the 7th day and i cant take the headaches anymore. My breathing is OK, but i feel lethargic and almost dizzy like. And i have tingling and coating on my tongue. My ENT said that my narrow sinuses could be causing my earaches or inflammation, but when i woke up this morning on the 7th day - i couldnt breath through the left nostril entirely. I'm stopping this stuff and going HOlistic approach instead!! There are healthier more natural approaches to deal with Sinus issues. A healthy diet should be enough - i just need to work hard at it... anything than the headache!! F 37 7 days

 2  year round allergies I've been using some form of nasal steroid spray for 17 years. It wasn't until I tried Flonase that I had a sharp increase in mood swings, anxiety, etc. However, I only started panic attacks after starting the nasal sprays, and developed chronic fatigue syndrome. I've battle weight gain and depression in turns. Dumped the Flonase to go back to Rhinocort and am now trying to wean off that as well. I don't necessarily see where it improves my sinus condition since I still get sinus infections and when allergy seasons are bad, I still get a lot of post nasal drip. I'm having a wicked time weaning off. Rebound congestion, rivers of post nasal drip and a cough. However, if there's any chance this and similar drugs could be contributing to the cfs, I'm off it.

 5  Severe sinus headaches I have a question for anyone -- has anyone experienced breathing problems in very cold weather? For 3 days in a row now, after walking in 20 deg F weather, I have become very dizzy and have taken 2 to 3 hours to recover. I am also experiencing some very mild chest pains. My sinus problems have cleared up after 30 days use. M 62 35 days

 4  nasal pollups insomnia and occasional nose bleeding. This is not one of the stated side effects but spraying the nose at night is not a good idea for me. I will go to a.m. M 61 4 years

 3  Nasal Inflammation Hazy vision, lots of pressure in the eyes, anxiety, cloudy head, unable to concenrate. General muscle weakness. Stopped using and had a severe headache Though Rhinocort does what it is supposed to do in clearing up the nasal passage, the side effects are awful. Had I not read this website I would still believe the Dr. telling me I was just having anxiety attacks. Yes I was, as a result of Rhinocort. The insert in the medication says the problems with your vision are rare, this is not true. I took the Dr. recommended dose, 2 sprays in each nostril once a day, and had very high pressure in my eyes. Once I decided to go to one spray in each nostril the pressure stopped and I could finally see clearly again. I have had a headache for about 5 days now since I stopped using the spray, I had to use it last night to stop the pain, nothing else was working. F 27 2 months

 1  allergies/sinus congestion I have an appointment for a stress test due to loss of breath/pain in chest when taking short walks. I weigh 123 so being overweight is not the issue. Sleep issues - nightmares- leg,foot & hip pain, swelling in feet/hands, headaches, jittery and general achiness all over. I was unaware of most of the possible side effects and my allergist never warned me. I stopped using it 3 days ago and had a massive headache this morning. I would NOT recommend using Rhinocort and will look into alternative treatments. Shame on me for not researching before using. F 45 2 months

 2  Allergies, nasal inflammation It made me feel very weak and depressed. I almost felt like I had the flu but no fever, just weak. It's hard to tell if it helped at all. I've only take Rhinocort three days and that's enough. I'm trying Nasalcrom now, it's supposed to have hardly any side effects, reviews are good. I also starting using Nasopure nasal wash which is just salt and baking soda with water and it's great, cleared up my nose great. M 28 3 days

 1  severe congestion, allergies I experienced nose bleeds, and severe scabbing on the inside of my nose. The crusting was causing blockage, so that I couldn't breathe through my nose anyway. My septum now has a hole and I often experience whistling. I would not reccomend using this drug. F 43 60 days

 3  Sinusitis & Congestion Dizziness, fast heart beat, anxiety symptoms, and if i haven't read about these side effects others experienced i would not have thought that it was from rhinocort! I'm too scared to use it now again, althought my sinus is blocked and my ears are blocked and keep popping.. i don't think i will use this again, unless my sinus gets unbearable. F 24 7 days
