Nasacort - Allergies Message Board

Has anyone else taken this stuff(it's a nasal spray)?
I just started on it.
And has anyone had insomnia from taking it? That's not of the listed side effects. THanks.

I've been taking it for over a month now. It is my understanding that it can take some time before this starts to work -up to 3 weeks.

I haven't had any sleep disturbances from it. When I take docongestants, they cause sleeplessness.

The only side effect I've had, is some bloody discharge from the nose (which has since gone away).

I'm not sure how Nasacort would cause insomnia ... it's just a steroid for helping sinus congestion problems.

It's fairly fast acting - about 5 minutes, and lasts about 10 to 12 hours.

I'm on this stuff and I don't think I get insomnia from it. Maybe you could check it out with your doctor.
