For Allergic Rhinitis "I took this for one day only and experienced far worse symptoms. My heart was racing the entire night; I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had severe anxiety; I was sweaty, yet had the chills. I slept maybe 1 hour the entire night and tossed and turned hundreds of times. I felt sick to my stomach with overbearing nausea. I experienced abdominal pain the next day. I am discontinuing taking this. I would not recommend it to anyone."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Pros: Day one, I was able to breathe again, and the drainage/stuffiness went away. An added bonus is some recurring acne on the back of my head went away. Cons: severe abdominal pain, sweating, and racing heart. I slept maybe 30 minutes that night."

For Asthma "This Medrol Dosepak always does the trick in helping with my allergy-induced asthma. The downside is I take Diltiazem, a heart med, to regulate my heart rate, and the steroid makes my heart race."
