For Allergic Rhinitis "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."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I suffer almost year-round. I tried many over-the-counter reliefs. Some worked for a short time, then no effect on my allergies. Some worked but had other drugs in them I didn't need for my allergies. I would use nose spray Afrin for bad times. Eventually, it stopped giving me any long-term relief, if any. Tried flushing with saline pots with minimal relief. I tried Flonase, and it did work for everything, bad taste, bad smell after using, would get a headache from sinuses being too dry. The side effects would make me feel light-headed, dizzy, and still couldn't breathe through my nose. Nasacort works for me. Use at bedtime and allergies free all day. I found nothing else that works."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I’m a 21 y/o female with spring allergies. I’ve been taking other allergy meds regularly, but they weren’t cutting it this year. I started taking Nasacort, and to be fair, it did definitely help with congestion and post-nasal drip!! For the first day, I was feeling good about it, and then came the headache. It felt like I was getting punched in the eye socket and teeth constantly. Ibuprofen doesn’t help at all, and the only remedy for this pain was 8-hour acetaminophen. It’s slowly making its way out of my system, but I’ve had constant pain since the last dose around 36 hours ago. Overall, in my experience, it wasn’t worth it. I’ll deal with some post-nasal drip over this debilitating migraine any day."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Discontinued taking this after four days of use due to side effects. Headache, fatigue, general unwell feeling. Like having a cold. It seemed to help a little, but not worth feeling even more miserable than the allergies. I was using the Walmart generic."
