| 2 | sinus allergy | Very itchy eyes and pressure around tear ducts. | F | 42 | 10 days 1X day | 4/2/2011 | 5 | Perennial vasomotor rhinitis | Slight and very occasional headaches. Very slight and occasional lower-back pain. First dose made me jittery and anxious, but the symptoms subsided. | In combination with Allegra, Veramyst (tradename Avamys in Latam) has completely changed my lifestyle. I am extremely satisfied with the results. It takes about 3 or 4 days for Veramyst to have a full effect. The anxiety and insomnia I experienced the first day went away and now I can actually sleep and rest, which the rhinitis did not let me accomplish before. | F | 22 | 6 months 27,5 MG 1X day | 3/11/2011 | 1 | Allergies - Sinus Infections | Major side effects have been irratibility and depression. My iron and cortisol levels are now high as of my last bloodwork. Just found out that Veramyst can cause liver and adrenal gland problems. | My doctor gave me a year long prescription and did not give me any warnings of taking it for so long. I have been feeling more ill the last few months and sought out additional help. Bottom line is that I now have liver and adrenal gland problems. I am stopping this medication as soon as possible. | F | 38 | 5 months 27.5 mcg 2X O | 2/26/2011 | 2 | Fullness Tin Can Effect in Ears | After the first day I experienced a strange fluttering sensation in one ear that would only go away if I put an ear plug in. I would describe this a fluttering or buzzing behind the ear drum that was not painful but very disturbing. Cannot concentrate or sleep with the fluttering. Tried generic Flonase and did not experience this. I decided to stop taking Veramyst to see if the buzzing either goes away or gets worse. | M | 46 | 5 days 1 1X day | 12/8/2010 | 5 | Allergies | None | I was prescribed this after months of taking Nasonex with little relief. I am totally thrilled to report that my 2 year long battle with Vertigo is completely gone!!! I had no idea this could be a result. I am free from constant dizziness. Yay!! | F | 44 | 2 months 2 sprays 1X day | 11/1/2010 | 1 | sinus and seasonal allergies | severe joint and muscle pain; red,dry and painful eyes; dark and swollen under eyes with dry patches on skin | I have stopped using Veramyst and hope that the side effects go away. | F | 52 | 3 weeks 27.5 mcg 1X day | 10/28/2010 | 2 | ear congestion | I have been taking this medication for a little over a week and have developed bad headaches. I still have ear fullness and congestion. I had ear surgery 9 months ago and complained to my dr that I have been having trouble with ear fullness and numbness. He prescribed Veramyst to clear up the congestion, which I still have. But I don't know if the headaches are worth it. I see him next week as he told me it will take around 2 weeks to see the full benefit of the medication. I don't know what to do. | F | 54 | 9 days 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 2 | allergies | Bad headaches. | Although this med worked great for allergies, over a month I developed bad headaches that became constant. I have not used Veramyst for 48 hours and the headache has decreased significantly, although still there slightly. I also realize now that I was starting to feel vaguely agitated, or just not myself, while on it. It's really too bad because it worked very, very well for allergies. This all makes me wonder if it is much stronger than other steroid nasal sprays??? | F | 53 | 30 days 110 mcg 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 5 | allergic sinus congestion and pain | a little post nasal drip after spraying | miracle drug! it does take about a week to start to work so give it enough time. I had nasal congestion and headaches for 9 years, on sudafed all the time and started to get heart racing from it. I don't need any other medication with veramyst, I feel like I don't have allergies at all! | F | 52 | 4 months 2 sprays 1X day | 7/16/2010 | 2 | Severe Seasonal Allergies | I too belive that major depression and axniety or jitters were inhanced by this drug. It only began when I stopped taking the drug. I was told by family members my mood swings were constantly up and down. I also has some dizziness or foggy vision. | F | 33 | 2 months 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Ended up in three different emergency rooms in 24 hours with a severe nosebleed that wouldn't stop. Was gagging on blood clots. Wasn't even using spray on a daily basis, just off and on over a few weeks. Unfortunately, the "Rhino Rocket" the 3rd ER used slipped back too far and caused horrific hemorrhaging. Ended up getting nasal passage packed with gauze and getting admitted for overnight observation. Still having some nosebleeding five days after this started. Will never touch this stuff again. | F | 65 | 2 weeks 27.5 mcg 1X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | allergies | Blurred vision, felt like I had the flu for days, dizzy. | F | 30 | 1 months 1X day | 5/25/2010 | 1 | Nasal Inflamation | Horrible sore throat, fever, achy joints, headache, dizzy, weak. | I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. I feel like I'm dying. The side affects are so awful. I will report this to my ENT, FDA and everyone else that wants and needs to know. I will take my unpleasant allergies over these awful side affects any day. | F | 39 | 3 weeks 27.5 MG 1X day | 5/1/2010 | 4 | nasal stuffiness | Since I have just started this medication I am experiencing some sneezing. Not bad. Opened up my nose after 2 months of not being able to breathe freely. My nose bleeds easily, but am using the NeilMed Sinus Rinse before spraying and this has cut the bleeding down. Nose bleeds every now and then. Hope the sneezing goes away. | In my case I have a horrible allergy to Cedar/Juniper since it was bad this year and to Live Oak pollen. I will probably use this until these seasons are over and then take a break. If I need to, I will probably use NasalCrom if I have something bother me in between. | F | 50 | 2 days 27.5 2X day | 2/18/2010 | 2 | inflamation of nasal passages | After taking Veramyst and Claritin D per recomendation by ENT dr, i was hit with deep bouts of depression and a weird type of phychosis. After three weeks, while at work, i became violently ill, throwing up all over teh restroom stall. I was freaking out, thinking every little problem in my life was far worse than it actually was. I was suicidal, actually. I was terrified and felt hopless. I was taken to ER and ER dr diagnosed me with vertigo. I disagreed and went home. I was never nauseas, only getting so 10 seconds before puking. I puked 15 minutes after taking a Claritin D so figured itwas all due to the ephedrine in the Cl D. I stopped taking it and, over the next week, started feeling better, but was still hit with bouts of depression. Two weeks later, again while at work, i was overcome with another bout of deep depression and an ill feeling. Hard to describe, kind of like a weakness of the body and a deep feeling of hopelesness. I thought, after talking it over with a friend, | M | 41 | 6 weeks | 1/29/2010 | 1 | nasal/sinus inflamation | I first tried this med when being treated for a sinus infection that followed a bout of the flu. After the first dosage of two sprays per nostril, I developed a very severe headache (very rare for me). Wondering if it could be the veramyst, I discontinued it and the headached vanished. The sinus infection cleared with antibiotics and Mucinex. About two months later, I came down with a mild head cold and felt as if some sinus thing was developing. I decided to give the veramyst a try again. This time, I used only one spray each nostril. The first day, only some mild headache..thought it could be the sinus infection...so, I used it the second day too. Wound up with a TERRIBLE headache...throbbing at the top of the nasal area...took THREE days to feel better with constant pain meds. Will NEVER use this spray again!!!!!!! | F | 50 | 2 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Heart arrhythmias and insomnia. I would go to bed at 10pm and always wake up at 3am. This drug can cause insomnia and heart arrhythmias. I also got this same effect from Rhinocort, which is another steroid nasal spray. It seems all steroid nasal sprays have this effect on me. I will avoid them. I know that steroids can cause heart arrhythmias in pill form, but, for ME, they cause them in nasal sprays as well. I KNOW this to be true. | Veramyst DID work well at clearing the nasal congestion. The benefit was not worth the risk. Heart arrhythmias are too dangerous to risk. Note: I did 2 rounds to be SURE it was VERAMYST causing it and both times after about 10 days, it occured. | M | 39 | 10 days | 9/4/2009 | 2 | major allergys | back pain between shoulder blades. that moved to chest | About 2 days after taking veramyst, I had major back pain between my shoulder blades. That slowly moved to my side and then my chest. I had no idea what was causing this until I forgot to take the spray one day and the pain lessened. I decided to not take it the next day just to see what would happen. for the first time in weeks I was able to move with out tiers in my eyes from the pain. It took weeks for the pain to dissipate. A month later after I thought I was better, I got sick again and decide to take veramyst once more but in much smaller amounts. It has been 3 days and the exact pain is back. DO NOT TAKE THIS SPRAY. I went from two sprays in each nostril in the morning and at night. To one spray in each nostril in the morning and I got to say, the pain is the same. Oh and it didn't clear me up at all. (this spray sucks) | F | 23 | | 8/6/2009 | 5 | Seasonal allergies and stuffy nose | None. Actually has a nice scent. | I took various types of oral medications for my seasonal allergies from OTC to prescription. Most of them made me foggy headed and very tired all day. This nasal spray is a miracle! I take one metered spray in each nostril every morning and at bedtime. No more stuffiness and clear and open breathing. I'm not afraid to go outdoors anymore during peak allergy season. I now enjoy summer. | M | 60 | 2 weeks | 7/16/2009 | 1 | Allergies | I began using Veramyst (2 sprays in each nostril daily) in April 2008 for allergies. I stopped using the medication in April 2009 because it was causing my nose to bleed. Since I have stopped taking Veramyst in April 2009, I have had 3 sinus infections, spaced about 3 weeks apart. I believe the sinus infections are due to the fact I stopped taking Veramyst. I have had one or two sinus infections in the past, but never three in one year spaced so close together. I am now taking Allergra-D for my allergies and have started to use a nasal irrigation system. | F | 26 | 1 years | 7/3/2009 |
