For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasacort was good news/bad news for me. The past year, I've had terrible post-nasal drip that my Zyrtec and Astepro were not taking care of, so I added the Nasacort. I had terrible coughing attacks day and night. In a few days on this spray, the drip is so much better and coughing much less. The bad news is this usually fun-loving, peaceful, yoga-type, meditating, tree-hugger kind of girl wants to pick a fight and punch someone in the nose. Steroids! I can't take steroid pills, but my doc insisted this was not absorbed by the body. I think it's safe to say he was wrong. It's the middle of the night, and I'm pacing the floor. My apologies to the person I pick a fight with today. At least my nose won't drip on you."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Nasacort is a mixed bag. It relieved my allergies to cats and ragweed like nothing ever has. Also, to my surprise, it reduced chronic pain that I've had for decades. I had the spunk of an Energizer Bunny, but Nasacort made my chronic insomnia much worse. Even though it gave me boundless energy, I was only able to sleep for four hours at night---every night. I am a non-confrontational person who hardly has a temper, but the Nasacort made me feel irritable and angry to a degree that was difficult to control. I am 67 years old and show early signs of cataracts. The raging insomnia and irritability/anger were also unacceptable, so I decided to discontinue Nasacort. I used the Nasacort for approximately five years and am now back where I started, looking for something safe for treating severe allergies. Sigh....."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Anyone that typed a good review for this product was paid by the company. I have now tried this product twice, and I can now say that it does not work. It actually has side effects that are not listed: coughing, irritability, more drainage, completely stopped-up nostril. Use at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you."
