For Allergic Rhinitis "I have awful airborne allergies. I used Nasacort and had great relief, although I have always said I wouldn't use steroids. It was all good until I started feeling very anxious, panic attacks, heart palpitations, pain in my sides over my kidneys, feeling generally sick, felt like my blood pressure was really high, and my hair fell out! I'm not kidding you! Hair loss is a side effect of triamcinolone, and half of my hair fell out! After trips to 4 different doctors (cardiologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, and primary care doctor) who found nothing in the tons of labs they drew, it was the triamcinolone in Nasacort! It took almost 2 years for my hair to grow back. I ended up hospitalized in atrial fibrillation for 2 days also at that time because of it. I had never had it before and have never had it again. I am a registered nurse of 33 years. If you use this medicine daily for any extended period of time, you will probably have severe withdrawal symptoms like I did."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I am a young woman and have been taking this at night to clear my allergies because Zyrtec just won't cut it anymore, and this has been working. I haven't had any bad allergy symptoms and can breathe freely. But since taking this medicine, I have had some adverse side effects. I have been woken up in the middle of the night from my heart racing and what feels like a panic attack. It is so bad I have to get up and turn on a light and go do something just so I can calm myself down, let alone get myself to sleep. I have decided that this is just too much to go through for clear sinuses, so I am no longer going to take this medicine and try something else."

For Allergic Rhinitis "While using the product for about 2 to 3 weeks, it cured the allergy symptoms but left me with what seemed to be manageable anxiety and lite panic attacks. Even though I have some holistic cures for anxiety (holy basil tea or passion flower drops), the ongoing uneasiness from the drug made me stop. The first day off the medication, I felt odd, the second day I was a little stronger, and the 3rd day I had a real panic attack. I wouldn't suggest the product to anyone who has had 'any anxiety issues' in their life. At least I know I have a strong heart..."

For Allergic Rhinitis "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?"

For Allergic Rhinitis "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."
