"Apparently this product worked wonders for a friend of mine. Within minutes of taking one dose, my nose would not stop running like a faucet. I began feeling sharp yet sudden pain throughout my chest/stomach. I genuinely feel like I couldn't breathe (I say feel because I'm dealing with the side effects as I type this). I have very bad diarrhea, and I feel like I am going to puke up a storm at any point. Please don't take this, and if you do, be prepared. I wish I was."

"I’ve had allergies for the last two years, and my symptom is chronic congestion. I had my allergies tested, and I am allergic to just about everything environmental. Decided to do the shots, but in the meantime, I’ve been using Nasacort. I am a super-naturalist and dislike taking meds, but this medication has been a lifesaver as I can’t sleep with a congested nose. Give it at least a week to work! It’s magic. I have not experienced adverse reactions other than possible heart palpitations, maybe. I’ll use it at least for another year while the allergy shots kick in. Totally recommend."

"Highly effective! As any sufferer knows, nighttime is the most crucial time. I no longer fear waking up in a panic, gasping for air as the nasal passages swell shut. (In deep sleep, I have learned that the brain creates nightmares to wake you up!) In addition to nighttime relief, I am more focused at the office as a software engineer that may sit behind a computer for up to 12 hours a day. I look forward now to both sleep and work."

"After using this product for the last 5 years, I have now experienced high blood pressure, which in the past was always low. I also found I was having to use it constantly to clear my sinusitis. I have now come off this nasal spray, and my sinuses are permanently blocked. It seems it is a 'catch-22' situation. Will now seek a more natural cure."

"I developed terrible seasonal allergies when I hit my 40s. I tried oral meds, but most of them aggravated my benign heart arrhythmia. My allergies are so bad in the spring I would end up sleeping upright on the couch and still wake up gasping for air - airway totally blocked. My husband did some research and found Nasacort. It's really changed my life - I can enjoy spring again! I love this product."

"This has worked great for me. I have seasonal allergies, and this twice a day, along with a Claritin each morning, has changed my life. The only side effect I've had is, when I quit taking it each fall, I experience drying around the nostril area and sore, watery eyes. It goes away after a few weeks."

"After trying literally every single allergy medication out there (not over the counter), Nasacort was the only medication that stopped my allergy symptoms. Great product, would definitely recommend 10/10."

"My 8-year-old son started having panic attacks (never had them before!) after taking 1 spray before bed. We discontinued this med, but panic attacks are still there after 2 weeks - really scary indeed! Beware of this terrible drug! If someone had those as well, please let me know, and do you know when they will subside?"

"Suffer horribly with seasonal allergies. This stuff is a godsend. Much better than Flonase. And doesn't have that horrible Flonase smell of freshly cut grass, which kills my sinuses! Completely not a waste of money, as a previous review stated."

"Well, I'll start by saying I was most certainly NOT paid by the company for a positive review, as was suggested by another reviewer whom the medicine obviously didn't work for. I bought this at Rite Aid. Chose it over Flonase because it was on sale. I was desperate to find anything that would help my allergies. I live in So Cal, and the super bloom we're having from all the rain triggered super allergies in me. I'd been eating Benadryl like candy with no relief and had rubbed the top layer of skin off my eyelids. I literally thought I was going to have to sell my house and move because it was so bad. I was having hot flashes and cold sweats. My lungs were itchy. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The relief was immediate. Very happy with it."

"I love this stuff! Instant relief from nasal discomfort. The only problem I have is it causes me severe leg and foot cramps. Didn't see this listed on any other complaints, just wondering if anyone else has had this reaction?"

"Lifelong rhinitis, worse with age (now 71). Tried Flonase, did nothing and unpleasant to use. Bought Nasacort generic would last 2 months @ 1 shot/nostril/day. Immediate improvement, no flavor or sting. Already familiar with triamcinolone (active) as a topical (skin). Only downrated to 9 because 1) it's a drug and fewer is better, 2) it doesn't 'blast' nose wide open like Afrin (which causes its own problems), 3) from other reviews we see that results/reactions vary widely. On the plus side: If it works for you, fewest potential side effects; no alcohol or scent; generic/store brand available-- reasonable cost; OTC designation, 'generally safe and effective for self-administration.' Lookup and observe contraindications."

"This medication caused me to feel loopy, anxious, but tired at the same time, and I gained weight. I couldn't lose weight for anything. I came off of this and lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Who knew? I know it's a steroid, but I had no idea it was that strong. I'm going to try Claritin D again. The medication did make me breathe easier. I had very itchy eyes, however, which could've been from the pollen. Sore throat, however. I gave it a 3 because it makes me breathe like a champ."

"I have a constant runny nose, but worse, as soon as I lie down at night, my nose becomes stuffed. I'm a stomach sleeper, so my head is always turned to one side. The bottom nostril becomes stuffed, so I switch sides, and so on through the night. I used Nasacort for 2 weeks, and it was magical -- until my nose began bleeding and gooping up inside with snotty, bloody clumps. So, I had to give it up (Nasacort even let me sleep at night after the bloody clumps began) because I don't think it's normal to have chunky scabby blood clogs. Still haven't found a fix for my night problem (Breathe Right helps a bit, but the adhesive makes my skin itch)."

"I have year-round allergies with a runny nose. Started taking Nasacort, and instead of stopping my runny nose, it's making it worse. At first, I thought I had a cold, but I had no other symptoms, so I'm pretty sure it's the Nasacort."

"I hit Google as soon as I first tried this product. Within 10 minutes of taking this product, I felt like I was high as a kite, kind of feels like a stimulant. I can see how someone who is younger could have a panic attack if they did not understand what is going on. As for what it's supposed to do, my nose is clear as a whistle, but it is 10 PM, and I am freakin' wired."

"I suffer from post-nasal drip with constant coughing. Nothing else helped. Always got side effects. I read where this product was good for my symptoms. Wow, what a difference. Took 24 hours to see a difference, but boy, the difference in coughing spells and drainage was cut 75%. I have felt this good in years, even when I don't have post-nasal drip."

"I think probably for those that have a history of anxiety or heart palpitations, this product should not be taken. I read the side effects and thought it would be no different than the Flonase I had been taking. I have a history of anxiety and take medication for it, so I always check. I failed to check these sites to read reviews before I began taking it. I started taking it last Wednesday. By Saturday night, I couldn't sleep because my heart rate was elevated to 102-108 BPM. It took about 6 hours for my heart to regulate, and I had taken it in the morning, not at night. I didn't realize it was the Nasacort, so I took it again in the morning. I had the same experience with sleeping and heart rate. Monday, I decided to take none of my medicines except my anxiety and GERD meds and slept like a baby. Silly me, still doesn't put two and two together, so I took it again this morning and then began to work and felt my heart rate speed up, so I came to this site... BINGO! Never again!"

"I have used Nasacort for three years. I have had hay fever most of my life, changing medicines every few years as they become less effective. Nasacort was amazing for the first two years. For the first time in my adult life, living through allergy season with no symptoms and no side effects was an absolute wonder. Now, year three, since day one of starting the spray (one each nostril per day), I have been slowly coughing up all of my lungs. I can only hope I have done no damage. Time to move on and find the next best thing."

"This stuff clears up my allergies, but I noticed it makes my heart race also. I also experienced nosebleeds and one of the worst headaches of my life. Throbbing headache and nausea, my taste is off too. Sometimes when spraying this stuff, it makes my sinuses burn. I try to only take this medication when I’m in absolute need, the side effects are a bit much for me to handle. I just want an allergy medication that doesn’t give me a bunch of bizarre and painful side effects."

"Nasacort made my nose run like a faucet. It was almost like something in it triggered my allergies instead of helping them. I used it for a week before I realized it was what was causing me problems. It also caused blood to be in my snot. I would try anything else besides this. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate Nasalcrom at 10 and Nasacort at 1."

"I have developed allergies in my 50s. We have three cats, and I am especially sensitive to one of them and will sneeze and sneeze after petting her, and my nose will run continuously. I now limit my time with her. Nasacort has stopped my nose from running. My side effects have been a little nausea and a feeling of hyperactivity. For me, the hyperactivity is a plus, as I am getting things done. I still want to take this medication sparingly."

"I took this last night and this evening to try and help my rhinitis. After an hour of taking it, I'm pretty wired in more than one way. When I normally have anxiety, I shut down and withdraw, but this medication not only induces anxiety, but it makes me need to do something physical to get energy out. Like run. So I know this isn't me. I also have found out that patients with Afib shouldn't be taking nasal steroids due to them being able to induce an episode. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel it wear off. I took it almost three and a half hours ago and am finally starting to feel tired enough for bed, so my body is slowly coming down from it. It works darn well as marketed, I'll give it that, but with Afib, I can't risk it. I honestly don't mind the anxiety or the wiredness, but it's not for me."

"Today was my first time trying it, and it works! I could tell when I first sprayed it; it seemed to open me up then. I used to use Claritin D (til it stopped working), then Zyrtec, then Flonase, but they all seemed to take time to work. Didn’t have that problem today. Plus, it was cheaper than the Flonase, and I had a coupon on top of that!"

"I bought this medication this morning and took two puffs! Now I am cough, cough, coughing! It did clear my sinuses but created another irritant... I do not have asthma nor suffer from year-round allergies."
