For Allergic Rhinitis "I was directed by Dr. to take Nasacort along with antibiotics for a sinus infection. On the first day I took it (morning), I noticed that at bedtime I had trouble falling asleep. Found it odd. Second night, same thing, but also feeling anxious and a general feeling of not feeling better. Third day, again hard time falling asleep. After 3 days, tried to figure out what was going on. Then realized it started taking Nasacort.... bingo... stopped it and everything is coming back to normal. Can’t trust the manufacturer to tell you all the side effects, but thank goodness for consumers like us to do so. Not worth it."

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 "This drug almost killed me. I had every side effect to the extreme. Sleep deprivation led to me being delirious. At the hospital, I went into anaphylactic shock. My heart hasn’t ever fully recovered. Stay away from this rubbish “medicine.”"

For Allergic Rhinitis "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!"
