3	Sinus infection, post-nasal drip	disturbed sleep, waking every hour, but able to go back to sleep. Inadequate sleep makes me tired during the day.	it gave immediate relief for the symptoms of the sinus infection -- sinus headache and sore throat went away very quickly and post-nasal drip (drip is such a wrong word for this sticky mucus) went away gradually, but when I stop taking it (because of sleep problems mainly) the sore throat and post-nasal gunk start up again. For sinus infection, I think it just masks symptoms.	F	64	30 days		2/8/2010
1	Sinus congestion	I start to lose my sense of smell after about 2 month use but didn't realise that it could be related to Nasonex. Now I cannot smell anything and I cannot taste food properly. So when I decide to check for Nasonex side effects, I am surprised that so many other people have the same experience. My doctor think it is a wonder drug and doubt that I can get any side effects.	Will definitely stop taking it	F	49	3 months		2/6/2010
1	sinus infection	SEVERE headache after one dose.	Debilatating head pain that caused nausea and vomiting. Has been three days since first and only dose, headache is getting better slowly. Can now get relief with OTC pain relievers. Standing up and sudden head movements still causing pounding head pain. Did have some anxiety and moodiness. These symptoms improved after 36 hours of stopping Nasonex. Not worth taking.	F	34	1 days		2/5/2010
1	Tinnitus	Bloody snot, uncomfortably dry nose, headaches, nausea and heart palpitations	I went to the doctor complaining of a "wooshing" sound in one ear, he prescribed me steroids that didn't take it away so I went to an ENT who prescribed me more of the same steroids, antibiotics and nasonex... none of which helped. I ended up with all these side effects that i didn't have with the first round of steroids and i knew how my body reacted to antibiotics. After both of those were done i was still on the nasonex and the symptoms all continued. I finally quit taking it when I couldnt stand the pain in my nose and the bleeding. In the end I found out that all my ear issues stem from me breaking my jaw when I was four.	F	25	17 days		2/5/2010
1	sinus infections	anxiety	my 3 year old was taking this for a month -- never has anxiety problems before but while taking it some anxiety kicked in now being off it -- the anxiety level has shoot thru the roof. anyone else have these issues with there children	F	3	30 days		2/1/2010 Email
2	acute sinus problems	All of them	I posted back on the 14th and I went cold Turkey with this medication. Took 5 days of hell to get over all the effects. However my sinus problems became more acute and I tried several over the counter remedies. None were successful. I gave in and started back on the spray. What a stupid fool I was. Now feeling like hell again and having to return home to UK after only a week of a two month trip. I am at a loss and manic at present but will be in the Dr´s on Thursday all being well. Three day drive from here home. Please dont use it but I just do not know what to do with myself, My poor wife is very supportive but I am in hell at present. I have been on this for approx 7 years.	M	64			1/31/2010
3	eustacian tube closure	I suppose I can't say definitively it was Nasonex, but I've been taking it for two weeks (water behind the eardrum due to eustacian tube closure, so my dr. prescribed Nasonex and ampicillin), and I've been lethargic. At the end of the two weeks also very depressed. I really hope it wears off soon.	It cleared up my ear proble, but I really don't want to take it again if, in fact, it was the cause of my depression. It affected my job, my workout regimen, my school, sleep patterns, etc.	M	42	2 weeks		1/30/2010
3	Sinus congestion	Tight chest, sore chest muscles, lack of a sense of smell	At this stage I have not stopped using it... but having read the comments here, and correlated the onset of symptons, it appears I should stop using it for a while, and see what happens	M	53	30 days		1/27/2010
1	Ear irritation, coughing	Sore throat on side of ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs.	Not sure if Nasonex is releasing some pathogens that were trapped in my ear, but I definitely feel a lot worse after taking it.	M	36	2 days		1/25/2010
1	Sinus Infection	Complete loss of smell & therefore 90% of taste	Stopped taking spray 5 Jan 2010 - still no change in ability to smell. Unable to smell even coffee beans, smoke etc. I hope that I will be able to regain my sense of smell - would not recommend this drug to anyone.	M	65	14 days		1/25/2010 Email
1	ear problems due to allergies	relief from symptoms but racing heart, increased anxiety, and raised blood pressure	the last time i saw my dr. before just a few months prior to starting this drug, my bp was 98/70. a couple of months after starting nasonex, i noticed i was having heart palpitations and what i can only desribe as near-panic attacks. i'd never experienced any problems like this before. also saw the dr. for another problem around that time, and my bp was 140/?. this persisted until i decided to test out the nasonex connection. i tapered myself off and sure enough felt normal again within a few weeks. bp is normal again, too. i think this drug is borderline scary.

1	Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy	Hi i used this for years on and off no real problems except slight loss of taste and smell. This time it unclogged the tube but now i have a viral infection of the mouth my eyes were blurry and i was depressed as well as exausted. Have been off for a week and i already feel better mentaly but i still have the mouth sores.Im now on an anti viral med. My vision is improving and im not as tired as i was. I know it was the nasonex. I will never use again.	Bad stuff I would rather suffer.	M	49	9 months		1/24/2010
2	Hay Fever / Congested Ears	I successfully used Nasonex seasonally for 5 years. It was wonderful for hay fever. 2 weeks ago I had a head cold. After the cold symptoms went away, my left ear was congested. My doctor recommended using Nasonex and Clariton simultaneously. I did that for 4 days. On day 5, my ear was better but the vision in my right eye became very distorted - to the point of not being able to work on my computer. I went to an optometrist and my primary physician. Both ruled out Nasonex and Clariton and started guessing more serious conditions. Well, after searching the net (this site in particular) I found many people with the same reaction. My distortions are less and less each day - almost back to normal after one week.		M	45	4 days		1/23/2010
2	sinus infection	Serious virus infecion of the mouth. Swollen gums, sore teeth.	Can't definitely blame Nasonex, but I did hear on one of their TV commercials that a possible side effect was viral infections. Since I have a serious one in my mouth--but am on all sorts of other medications as well, including Levaquin antibiotic--I can't point to Nasonex without question. I've discontinued use to see if my mouth improves.	F	65	9 days		1/23/2010 Email
2	Allergies	I already have some problems being around certain people, but under this medication those feeling were aggravated. At one point I had violent thoughts go through my head and I never experience this. I also became depressed while on the medication. I didn't experience much improvement with allergies either. I'm off this one and taking natural remedies for my allergies. After Singulair and now this I don't have too much faith in the health system. Its because they fail to acknowledge the benefits of good nutrition.		M	25	11 days		1/21/2010 Email
5	Sinus infections	Have not experienced any so far. Have had no sinus headaches, or pressure since I started on it. Feel better than I have in ages.		F	34	3 weeks		1/19/2010
4	chronic sinusitis	headaches	i refuse to take it again..i cannot deal with the headache all day	F	21	3 days		1/18/2010
2	post-nasal drip	Headaches since day 1 of use.	My doctor told me this medicine is slow acting, and indeed can see a bit of improvement. However it simply isn't a worthy tradeoff for the migranes which have been getting worse - so I will discotinue use.	M	26	4 days		1/18/2010
1	severe sinus/allergies	Just realized that Nasonex is the cause of how I have been feeling. For the past week, I've had severe headaches. nausea and always is tired. I went to the ER several times in the past weeks b/c the pain was so unbearable, but still no answers. However, once I realized a side effect of Nasonex is headaches, I stopped taking it. My head still hurts though but not as bad as it did last week. I'm glad I found this website, I feel at ease knowing that this is the cause of my pain, now I just want to know how long these side effects last.		F	26	1 months		1/18/2010 Email
1	stuffy nose Rhinitis/Sinusitis	severe anxiety, panic attacks, couldn't sleep, trouble swallowing, only was getting 2 or so hours of sleep a night and going crazy.	This is my 2nd post.. I posted 1st on 1/13/10. I still had all the sleeping problems and panic attacks. On the 15th my anxiety carried over to the morning. I made an appt with my primary doctor at 10am that morning. I had a pulse of 132, my BP was 152/98 my temp was 99.7. I had all the proof that the nasonex was causing my problems but he really didn't believe me and diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and put me on prozac. My problems didn't start until i started using nasonex every night. I will never use it again and I wish I could say that my anxiety is gone since it has been like 6 since i stopped using it but its still there. This drug is evil. GO TO THE NASONEX WEBSITE AND SUBMIT YOUR SIDE EFFECTS TO THE FDA. IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE. Don't let your child use this spray. I have been using the Neti Pot, it helps to clear my nose. Good Luck..

5	chronic allergic rhinitis	Initially a dry nose and a little blood but only in the first month. If I breath in too much I can taste it a bit in my throat. Small price to pay for the relief it gives.	After 3 & 1/2 years I was allergy tested and no reaction to the 40 main culprits. But still I was so bad it would lay me up in bed and take a day to get over after a bad attack and in-between bad bouts my nose was constantly blocked and/or runny 24 hrs a day. I would have to lay on my back so that it could run down my throat as I couldn't blow my nose often enough to keep up. Like having a severe constant head cold for over 3 years. Was continually taking allergy tabs and decongestant sprays to make me feel half normal even though the sprays aren't good for the nasal passages and the tablets never made a major difference. The doctor prescribed Nasonex to try and it took affect after a few days. I BEGAN TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. No more bloodshot eyes or watery noses or waking up at night unable to breath. It is the best thing I have tried. No drowsiness, sleep like a baby, have a slow and steady heart beat, my taste and smell is fine. I would prefer to know why I am so allergic but would need much more intensive testing. It really did help. From what I can read it seems to work best with allergy suffers. The side effects mentioned here sounds scary but I have not had a one and am very happy with how it has managed to help me. I still occasionally get blocked and still use a nasal decongestant but that is usually if I drop my doses.	F	49	8 months		1/15/2010
1	Sinus Infection	I am completely flabbergasted. My parents seem to have taken Nasonex without an issue but I had a lot of problems. After taking 2x twice a day for 2.5 days, things got worse quickly. The day after my first dose, I had heart palpitations and my leg muscles were sore. I continued to take it and could not sleep due to heart palp. The final day of taking it, I did not sleep at all. I have stopped since the final day and I am still fending off against the side-effects - anxiety, heart palp, lack of appetite. I should say that my sore legs are a bit better.	I am going back to the Doctor's to get a antibiotic to clear the sinus infection. I am going to continue to use the saline rinse. Please, save yourselves from this drug. The night after stopping, my heart was pounding so much and I was sweating so much I considered going to the ER.	M	25	2.5 days		1/15/2010 Email
3	Acute sinus problems	Most all the symptoms described on the previous pages. I have been feeling unwell off and on for the last two years.	I had not considered that the spray was the cause of my problems as I take other medication and put it down to a combination of these. However the last three months have been hell and I have visited the Dr on three occasion giving a large number of the symptoms already mentioned. I thought the depression and suicidal thoughts would have made them jump to action but they just gave me a course of anti histamine, then more and very strong Steroid drops and anti biotics then another ultra strong steroid spray. All made me feel even more ill. Thankfully I found this site yesterday and am now trying to get through the cold turkey effect of coming off this drug from hell. I have been a long term user around 7 years I reckon. Still having some problems but it is only day two off the spray. Feeling more human already. Don't take it, I have been through hell in the last two years and I was convinced at times I was going insane.	M	64	7 years		1/14/2010
1	allergy	HIVES!!	Felt worse after 1st dose.	M	16	1 days		1/14/2010
2	vertigo symptoms/allergies	I think I'm just allergic to steroids in general. Took an oral steroid a month ago (with antibiotics to try and treat my vertigo...didn't work), and had strange head sensations/pain all over. I've been on Nasonex for a week, and yes, I am breathing much better, but those darn sensations are back - and stronger than ever. I also feel "timid" and anxious. I'm also losing sensation in my left hand...but that could just be carpal tunnel. I didn't think turning 40 would suck so much.	I'm stopping this, especially reading about all the side effects on here. I would highly recommend a Neti pot for saline sinus irrigation instead of medical treatments for allergies. I've been leaning towards organic-based healing options since I am discovering that doctors are "trigger-happy" in prescribing drugs before really learning about you. Educate yourself, and visit healing/wellness based sites like mercola.com and others. Prevention IS the best medicine :)	M	41	7 days		1/13/2010
1	Rhinitis/Sinusitis	Extreme anxiety and insomnia. Trouble swallowing. Blurred vision. I would only get 2-4 hours of sleep a night. Blood in mucus from nose and cough. A couple minor nosebleeds. My taste and smell are probably effected too, but the anxiety is what is killing me. I also feel palpitations and am having some sort of breathing issue while trying to fall asleep.	I googled "allergies and anxiety" the night before last while I couldn't sleep yet again and low and behold this website showed up. I am so thankful to have found it because I have been using Nasonex on and off for 3 years and am going through my second round of anxiety since then. I am just putting all this info together and stopped using the spray immediately. Last night was my first night not using the spray after using everyday for 10 days. I still had alot of trouble sleeping last night but managed to get 4 hours. I am still feeling anxious but maybe a little bit better. I am praying my symptoms go away. Like everybody else said- I will deal with my stupid stuffy nose in another way! Natural ways! Sinus irrigation and oil of oregano.	F	30	10 days		1/13/2010 Email
1	chronic sinusitis	heart palpitations, pounding heart, uncomfortable feeling in my chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, hangover effect every morning, thicker sinus drainage with blood, no energy. Even slight exersion leaves me breatless.	Thought I was having heart trouble or perhaps anemic and was going to schedule an appt. with the Dr. Thank goodness I found this sight first. I quit as of yesterday. I'm sure it will be awhile before it is out of my body completely though.	F	51	4 weeks		1/13/2010
2	rhinitis	I DON'T NEED TO DESCRIBE THE SIDE EFFECTS.5 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE SO!	Call it my cynical English mind,but you visit your doctor for a really annoying,but relatively minor nasal condition,he prescribes for you,and the result is palpitations,paranoia,bleeding nose,depression,insomnia,numbness etc,and for Americans presumably,a nice fat bill.You couldn't make it up,could you?	M	60			1/11/2010
3	alergic rhinitis	sinus pressure in the face but please nte that chest tightness , dizziness , and muscle spasms and are due to sinussits and my nt be nasonex fault	I been having tight throat and diziness and muscle spasms alot longer than i been on nasonex due to sinus pressure. alot of what you guys are saying probably was there before the nasonex as well and this is just the sinus nightmare we are in	M	30	2 days		1/8/2010
2	sinusitis	Extreme icheness in my nose after inhaling it. A panic attack that was so severe that I almost called 911. Emotional, angry, crying, extreme fatigue.	I am willing to try anything once yet this medication sent me to the internet to look up side efects and this is what I found. I am gong to stop taking it as of now and see how I feel in a few days.	F	46	3 days		1/7/2010 Email
1	vasomotor rhinitis	Nasonex, one squirt per nostril, pm: woke up with viscious headache and exhausted/tired/sleepy all day. This continued for three days straight before I figured out that it was the Nasonex. I figured out it might be the Nasonex.	Most people seem to complain about insomnia but it was the sudden, extreme headaches that clued me in. I did have some pretty vivid dreams so maybe Nasonex disrupts the sleep cycle in more ways than the ability to fall asleep/stay asleep.	F	46	3 days		1/1/2010
1	chronic rhinitis	Nasonex worked within two days. I was no longer sneeszing and coughing all morning and full of mucus. BUT after only 5 days (one puff a day), I had nosebleeds. My right nostril is now badly infected with possible ulcers and crusting, with pain. It is blocked with what looks like a red lump at the back. I'm now waiting to go back to the doctor to see what is happening.		F	53	5 days		12/27/2009
1	sinus pressure	I only took Nasonex once and took the children's dose with Benedryl Thank God! I felt a tingeling in the back of my throat then could taste it after that I felt a strange sensation under my tongue. I went to bed and slept normally. The next morning I had a slight headache but as the day went on I developed a numbness in my face on the left side (the same side I had had the sinus pressure)! It felt like I had novacaine injection at the dentist! This numbness continued for most of the day. Now I have the pressure back on my face but after reading some of these comments, I am not taking any more and will call my doctor in the morning.	Thank you for this website!!!!	F	57	1 days		12/22/2009
1	sinus infections	complete change in personality, being "spaced out", very tired but does not sleep, does not want to eat, crying all the time	my daughters dr. gave her the rx because she has been having non stop ear infections, she suggested this to help her sinus to possibly help her ears. she has only been taking it since monday, it is now saturday, and i actually forgot to give it to her two days. But ever since the first time I gave it to her she has changed her personality completly. she is just starring into space and acting like a zombie. She has woken up for the past 3 nights in a row and has been up for 3-4 hours. I can tell she is exhausted but she can't fall back asleep. I NEVER have problems getting her to sleep. she had a slight fever today. I became really worried especially because of the way she has been "spaced out", I decided to look some info up on the internet and have found others had the same thing. i feel aweful for giving this to her. i am stopping and calling my doctor first thing monday	F	1	4 days		12/20/2009
3	STUFFY NOSE	sense of dread		M	52	5 years		12/19/2009
1	sinuses	OMG! Another one! Thank you guys!!! Thought I would lose my mind~!!! I just posted on Bactrim because I went to the walk in clinic having this crazy pressure on my forehead, and he diagnosed a sinus infection, ironically, I had been using Nasonex for the previous week, and had these crazy headaches...and feeling "hungover", out of it...and didn't feel safe driving anywhere, so cancelled plans and stayed in bed all week-end. Mon. went to walk in...he started Bactrim, along with continuing Nasonex...you guys can imagine...it just added to the bad that was already happening! Finally, yesterday, had friends drive me to the ER, because I almost blacked out while in line at the bank...they did cat scan of my head, and EKG, everything was normal...there was no sinus infection...This doc was awesome!, totally against prescribing stuff! Said to stop taking both drugs, go home, eat and have two glasses of wine! I feel much, much better this morning...!!! Even after only skipp	Will never use again! Dangerous!	F	48	1 weeks		12/19/2009
1	nasal polyp and associated snoring	Wish I'd read this site sooner. Soon after taking Nasonex I developed anxiety and an inability to sleep through the night. Also had the more common nosebleeds.	Cured the snoring after 3 months, but at much greater expense. Can't believe that such common and dangerous side effects aren't listed on the product or recognised - disgraceful.	M	32	90 days		12/19/2009
1	fractured nose, swollen tissue	Head aches, slight burning in nose, bloody nose when blowing onto tissue paper, insomnia, depresion, feeling 'spaced out', breathing difficulties leading to panic attacks.	I noticed side effects straight away. First was the slight burning sensation when you inhale it. You feel 'spaced out' for about 2 hours after taking it. Then for about 12 hours afterwards, a dull headache. For 3 hours, I'd be headache free. Then I'd get headaches again, like almost a withdrawal symptom. This stems into the night, causing insomnia. This has a nock-on effect of feeling misserable, cranky and depressed. Whilst exersizing, it took me ages to regain my breath. As I inhaled, it felt like the walls of my trachea were touching each other, causing me to gasp. Not being able to breathe lead me to having panic attacks. ------------------------------------------------- About me: After fracturing my nose, the doctor prescribed me Nasonex to reduce the swelling of the tissue, allowing me to breathe. This spray hasn't worked, and has messed around with my body. The panic attacks have happened twice during a work out, because I couldn't get enough air into my lungs as it felt my throat's walls were touching each other. I've been on Nasonex for 5 weeks, and nothing has improved. I find it more than a coinsedence that hundreds of people have had similar side effects, which the manufacturers haven't told us. Nasonex is a waste of money (£7.50 UK), damages your body, your life, and DOESN'T work. Look at the overall rating people.	F	20	5 weeks		12/6/2009 Email
4	Seasonal allergies	Rapid heart palpatations. Felt like horses galloping in my chest one minute and maybe flutters or "butterflies" the next. Almost a similar feeling to having a spastic twitching nerve you can't control, but only it's your heart. I have never been so aware of my heartbeat. It was scary. I was going to see my doctor in 3 days because I thought I might have a heart condition, but started researching this drug since it's the only thing that's changed in the last month.	I rated it at a 4 b/c it has REALLY helped with my sinuses and allergies. Unfortunately, it's not worth the heart palpatations.	F	29	1 months		12/5/2009
5	Allergies/ Hay fever / Blocked nose	None, except for a few slight nose bleeds	I had a blocked nose for over a year and I found it difficult to smell, taste, swallow and breath properly. This was due to allergies, hay fever and asthma, my skin was constantly itchy and I was always breaking out in rashes or hives due to allegens. I am very weary of any forms of drugs and used this medication carefully. I didnt take the higher dosage my doctor advised. I started off with one spray per nostral before bed. My nose cleared up within 3 days and I could finaly use it again. I then slowed my dosage to once a night every second or third day for the next 2 months and now I only use it if I feel my nose blocking up again or if my allergies start playing up this can be weeks or even months between each dosage. It has worked very well and not only cleared my nose but dramaticly reduced my hayfever and allergies they are almost non existant which has given me back a productive life, I have so much more energy now and I dont feel run down any more. I think what may help some is to taylor the dosage to your own needs (you dont need overkill) and when you spray into your nose *dont* breath in at the same time as this will draw it into your throat and lungs. I also noticed if I aimed it wrong and sprayed the inside side of my nose I tended to increase my chances of a nose bleed now i make a conscious effort to aim it up the middle and have not had any bleeding since. Not all medications are for everyone but I hope this may help some.	F	42	11 months		12/2/2009

1	Allergic and vasomotorhinnitis	I was so suprised to find this web site. I too thought I was going crazy. My headaches only became worse since using Nasonex. I have cold night sweats. Crazy vivid dreams. Dry cough and dry mouth. Dizziness and palpitations. Shoulder and wrist aches. I suffered for 2 1/2wks with headaches thinking it was my vasmotor rhinitis. I statrted to cough and couldn't stop coughing when I spoke. My head would throb so much it felt like it was bobbing back and forth. I stopped taking the Nasonex a week ago when I started on Leavaquin. I am still tired and coughing. The dizziness and palpitations seemed to have subsided. I am a very healthy person. This is awful How long does it take for this drug to get out of the system?		F	52	21 days		11/25/2009 Email
1	Rhinitis	My GP changed my medication to Nasonex after many years on Becanase. After only two weeks on this medication I developed a sinus infection, headaches, aching jaws, earache, tinnitus, visual disturbances, feelings of being spaced out, aching upper arms and anxiety. I have been off it a few days now and am feeling much better but not yet back to normal. Will never take this again or recommend it to anyone.		F	67	14 days		11/21/2009
1	sinus infection	On first day experienced weird images and sensations when I went to bed. Pounding music and vivid violent images when I tried to sleep. Also had nightmares.	Foul taste in mouth and loss of smell. Terrible pain in jaw and teeth. No noticeable improvement in sinus infection after nearly a week of 2 sprays twice a day. Am stopping this drug today and will try nasal irrigation with saline.	F	40	6 days		11/21/2009
1	hayfever	headache, anxiety, extreme panic attacks, insomnia, nausea	I took this for 3 days and by the second day i had a headache. On the third I had such a bad anxiety attack I nearly threw up. I then woke up that night with a panic attack. I never have these. Put two and two together and stopped using this, totally regret it!!!. However since I stopped I have had insomnia on two occasions and today had such a bad panic attack at work over nothing and i started shaking uncontrollably. Very very scary side effects, I have been feeling unwell all week and I wonder when it will stop. Went to doctor and they totally disregarded that it could all be from Nasonex, told me I might need to be on anti-depressants!!! Dr's are a crock, dont trust them.	F	29	3 days		11/20/2009
1	cronic sinus infection	I have absolutely no sense of smell or taste after taking Nasonex for 2 months. I just realized this last night; I called the pharmacist to inquire about the side affects of my meds. She suggested Nasonex could cause loss of smell and taste. I called my dr. this morning and talked to his nurse explaining the symptoms I was experiencing. I asked if the meds would cause loss of smell and taste. She said to keep my appointment 10 days from now. Stay on my meds. and then the dr. would evaluate my symptoms. She showed no concern. It was only after I told her that the pharmacist suggested that these symptoms could be caused by Nasonex that she went to speak with the dr. and came back saying that I should discontinue the Nasonex.	Your pharmacist is so much more educated on effects of meds than your doctor or nurse.	F	62	60 days		11/19/2009

4	congestion, sinus infections	I've been using Nasonex for about 4-5 years now and it has helped to keep my sinuses clear. However, I just got back from the eye doctor and he informed me that my eye pressure was high - just under the kind of pressure that indicates glaucoma (19-20). Now I'm reading comments from people who have had similar issues. I want to talk with my doctors and figure this out. While Nasonex has definitely helped, I won't continue it if it may harm my eyesight, obviously.		M	44	5 years		10/30/2009 Email
1	Polyps	It helped clear my sinuses / shrink polyps. However, my doctor suggested I take it twice a day for the REST of my life. After approximately one month, I got a really bad sinus infection. My eyes got swollen and I had severe headaches. After month three I started experiencing depression and anxiety. I also had a recurring sinus infection. I did not think it was the Nasonex so I continued to take it and my depression got worse to the point of having suicidal thoughts. Uncontrollable bouts of crying. I also started getting a bit aggressive. Someone told me that I must have been taking drugs. I laughed it off at first and then I read the report done by Jane Pauley on steroids in medications. She too was having the symptoms I was having. I confronted my doctor and he totally disagreed with me. He even wanted to put me on a different steriod. Sounds like "Big Pharma" and monetary kickbacks to me but thats another story. In any case, I stopped taking the medication because I was at	DON"T USE IT . If you must use it. Do not use long term.

5	Allergies + Snoring	Complete and utter satisfaction.	I have used Nasonex for 3 years usually every night, sometime every other night with no side effects or problems. I started to really get worried reading all the horror stories some people are having on here. WOW, you need to seek medical attention!!!	M	45	3 years		10/23/2009 Email
1	Pediatric Allergies	Loss of appetite, agression , sleeplessness, anxiety, irritability, night terrors, constipation, viral infections.....	At 14mths my son was prescribed Nasonex for "allergies".He had persistant ear infections post year tubes. Initially I thought it was wonderful-ear infection free. Approx 6 mths into taking Nasonex I started to wonder if my child was truely this very unhappy aggressive non eater/sleeper. Don't get me wrong he has a short fuse, but on occaision I have considered calling 911. When I started to document situations I came to believe my child is bipolar or something he's consuming has horrendous side effects. He only takes Nasonex ... so after 10mths of Nasonex my child no longer takes it. I now have a hungry tired pleasant toddler with "normal" tantrums. And what amazes me the most is his pleasant disposition. My advice is not to give to young children who are unable to vocalize their symptoms. I don't know how my son felt, but in his case actions speak louder than words.	M	2	10 months		10/23/2009

1	nasal congestion, post nasal drip	chest tightness, increased heart rate, palpitations, severe anxiety to the point of panic attacks	thought i was going crazy, so glad to see this site!	F	29	30 days		10/17/2009
3	Nasal polyps allergies	Severe joint pains which move from place to place, especially fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, hips, knees. Also minor nose bleeds.	Tried stopping Nasonex for 2 weeks, joint pains disappeared after 3 days. Resumed Nasonex last week, joint pains back in full force.	F	43			10/14/2009
2	Hay Fever	Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason.	I have now been off Nasonex since I originally posted the side effects listed here in July and can safely say all but one of these symptoms have gone and did so within a few days of stopping Nasonex, my memory unfortunately has not recovered as of yet, I am however left with panic attacks from the episodes of shortness of breath and feeling as if I was going to faint, these now occur in any stressful situation. I would not recommend this drug to anyone and am now undergoing cognitive therapy to reverse the damage caused, give me hayfever any day.	F	38	2 months		10/12/2009
1	Sinusitis	Headaches, nose bleeds, jaw pain, and dizziness followed by steroid withdrawl symptoms after quitting.	Don't know if I'm the only one to experience this, but I quit taking Nasonex 6 days ago. Within 2 days, the problems caused by the stuff were gone, but as the days went on, my body felt weaker and weaker, it felt like my heart was having a hard time beating, and I was extremely depressed. 4 days after quitting, my period started...but it had just ended 9 days before, and I’ve never had any sort of menstrual irregularity in my past. Going to my doctor tomorrow to see HOW I can get off Nasonex without falling apart. I'd recommend talking to your doctor before stopping immediately.	F	27	3 months		10/11/2009
1	Sinusitis	My allergist recommended this medication to help un-stuff my sinuses. For the first few weeks, it seemed to do the job, but around week six, I started to notice some things that just weren’t right. My arms kept going numb, I was having chest pains (went to the emergency room for these. $1000 for a musculoskeletal pain diagnosis), difficulty concentrating, and my sinuses started bleeding although I had not been around any my allergen (I’m only allergic to cats). By week 11, I had a full-on sinus infection, pink-eye, jaw stiffness, headaches so severe that it felt like my skull was about to cave in, intense sinus pressure, nose bleeds, numbness and poor circulation in my limbs, dizziness, and vision problems. The worst of it were the EXTREME mood swings and anxiety, which actually caused me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist because I honestly felt as though I was going mad. It didn’t hit me until 2 days ago that my condition was worse following a dose of Nasone	It seems like this med works for some people, but be wary of any just-not-right pains or feelings while taking it. I wish that I had found this site sooner; I could have ceased taking Nasonex while the symptoms were minor. My life has been turned upside down for weeks: my marriage, school, work, finances, and social life have all suffered dramatically due to this stupid spray. I'd take back my stuffy nose any day if this experience (and pain) could just be wiped permanently from my history!	F	26	12 weeks		10/8/2009 Email
1	Problem with ear after flying	On it for 6 days along with prednisone. At first it seemed to work great, cleared sinus and got relief. Now ear is back to being clogged AND I suddenly realized tonight my great NYC water does not taste right. Neither does bottled water, I have a metallic taste in my mouth which is why I checked for side effects cause it seemed really weird.	I know my body and the meds and supplements I'm on. I've had prednisone before. Nasonex is the only factor that is different. Also had an extreme burning sensation in the back of my nose with one dose. I am glad I found this website and am stopping this stuff immediately. This stuff is poison. Guess the pharma industry had to push out the perfectly good generic of Flonase for profit. Thank you FDA for protecting the interests of us consumers, ha! I hope those of us with affected taste and smell get our senses back!	F	56	6 days		10/8/2009
1	for Sinus and ear pain	I starting having nightmares, problems sleeping and aches and pains in my neck, joints and back. I also felt exhausted,anxious,nervous and felt bloated. I then kept feeling a tightness in my chest like severe heartburn. I thought I had indigestion but it lasted for days. Then I thought it was a virus with the tiredness and aches but then wondered if it was the nasonex. I looked it up on the website and I am pleased I did. I will not be taking it any more it is going in the bin. Thank goodness I read the website.		F	41	2 weeks		10/6/2009

1		I started taking this nasal medication as a substitution for Afrin spray a year ago during bad sinus conditions - 1 week max 2-3 times a year and I have noticed my smell and taste have decreased significantly. I did not know what the cause might be at first, but now I am starting to realize that it is a side effect of this drug. Think twice about using it. I am looking for other with the same side effect.

1	minor sinus infection	headaches, puffy eyes, felt nautious, tired. MOST IMPORTANTLY I LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL. I TOOK NASONEX FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THESE SYMPTOMS WERE CAUSED BY THE NASONEX. I WAS RECOVERING FROM THE INFECTION AND WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE NASONEX I WOULD FEEL ALOT WORSE. STOPED TAKING NASONEX RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, STILL HAVE VERY LITTLE SENSE OF SMELL AND MY TASTE IS PARTIALLY EFFECTED.	NOT WORTH THE POSSIBLE PERMANENT LIFE ALTERING SIDE EFFECTS, THE MOST SHOCKING, ALTHOUGH NOT SURPRISING, IS THAT GOVERNMENTS ALLOW PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO MARKET CRAP LIKE THIS REGARDLESS OF SIDE EFFECTS, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR INTENTIONAL LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PRODUCT.	M	47	3 days		9/22/2009 Email
2	alergies	I began taking Nasonex and within a month I stared experiencing heart palpitations - up to 10 occurrences in one day. I also had a lot of anxiety at night and subsequently, trouble sleeping (I normally sleep very well). I went off the drug to see if that was what was causing the palpitations and sure enough, they went away. Then, to rule out any coincidences, I started using Nasonex again. The palpitations came back immediately. I went off it and will never use it again. I have not had another palpitation since.	It worked excellent in clearing up my alergies but certainly some of us have side effects which are not listed on the drug itself. Nasonex is not for me as the palpitations were really scary.

2	Sinus Allergy	As others have described I noticed the Hang Over effect. Also extreme dryness. I have tried this product 5 times and each time couldnt get past a week on it. It also cause the frequency of sinus infections to go up...(read the label)	Did sure anything but make me feel like ive been partying last night	M	36	4 days		9/20/2009
1	not getting enough air through nose	I can no longer smell anything!!! (Not even popcorn, or bacon frying, etc.) My ability to taste has declined too. My breathing issues have not improved so Nasonex has caused me more problems rather than help.		F	55	2 months		9/19/2009
1	Sinus Issues	After being on this medicine and using it as prescribed, I developed nasal ulcerations and frequent nose bleeds.	I get coupons in the mail every quarter that would allow me to get it for free. Apparently they can't even give it away.	M	48	2 years		9/15/2009
1	Runny nose and congestion	Irritable, cold and flu like symtoms, waking up through out the night, wet the bed during naps 5 days in a row even wet himself awake almost like uncontrollable blatter.	THANK YOU PARENTS FOR POSTING YOUR RATINGS!!!!! My son was prescribed Nasonex for runny nose and congestion. He first started not sleeping, then became very irritable, finally he started wetting the bed during naptime at preschool. And I thought the bed wetting was an accident but after 5 days in a row and twice the last day it seemed like it was getting worse and no longer seemed as an accident. I feel so bad that I didn't protect my child and read about it first. I have even know about the side effects from the commercials and wouldn't take it myself. I will look up any meds prescribed from any doctor from now on. They get paid extra to push meds for the pharmaceutical companies. Parents: don't trust everything they give your kids!!!! Doctors: please be more careful with our children!!!	M	3	3 weeks		9/9/2009 Email
5	Allergies	A mild but persistent dry cough. I think this is caused by inhaling the spray so I am trying to avoid that now.	Nasonex has dramatically improved the quality of my life. It has completely cured my allergies with only mild side-effects.	M	68	4 months		9/7/2009
2	Nasal polyps related snoring	Total and permanent loss of smell	I was prescribed this drug to treat my snoring problem by an ENT specialist to help shrink the nasal polyps which she believed might cure the snoring. After applying about 3 cannisters of it, my snoring was cured. However, I started to lose my sense of smell gradually without even realizing it myself until my daughter asked me if I could smell something really fowl in the house then. 5 years have gone past since then and I still can't smell anything at all. I told my ENT specialist when I visited her later over the loss of smell and told her of my suspicion of this dangerous side effect but she somehow did not agree with me. For your own benefit, don't use this drug especially over prolonged period as you never know if you are going to end up like me.	M	58	2 months		9/2/2009 Email
5	Allergic Rhinitis	None at all! However, after using it for several months, I've developed a tolerance to it, it's not working anymore...	This was the only allergy medication that worked for me, without making me drowsy	M	24	6 months		9/1/2009
2	eustachian tube dysfunction	headaches, ear pain, feeling of pressure in ears, jaw pain, neck tightness/stiffness. i thought i was still sick for the last two weeks of taking this because the side effects can easily be misinterpreted as symptoms of ETD. finally an ENT suggested i stop taking it and some side effects cleared up right away.	it's been almost two weeks since my last spray of nasonex, and i'm still dealing with the jaw/ear discomfort. has anyone else experienced this that can tell me how long it took for this to subside? it's almost as if the muscles around my jaw area have just forgotten how to relax, making them sore. i tend to doubt nasonex gave me TMJ or something. only reason i give it a 2 is because it cleared up my ETD.

1	Perrenial Allergies	I used to use this drug without any problem. It felt like it wasn't working so I asked the doc what else could I use. At this time I had an unrelated asthma exacerbation and was put on a high dose of prednisone for 3 weeks. I have been off of the prednisone for 3 1/2 weeks now and was feeling that Nasonex wasn't working so the doc prescribed Rhinocort. It didn't work well so I went back to Nasonex. I feel this second time around Nasonex caused heart palpatations, higher blood pressure, and aniexty. I didn't have these effects the first time. I'm wondering if the effects of the prednisone coupled with Nasonex is a double wammy for me. Prednisone can cause these symptoms too. I stopped Nasonex after 3 days intersparingly which is today (been 24 hours since my last sprays) bu I still have a 93 heart rate and 122/76 blood pressure. I usually have a great heart rate and lower blood pressure. I say both Prednisone and Nasonex are EVIL!!! I want to get back to my normal self and be able to wo	Took Nasonex for several months then stopped then started again after taking prednisone	F	43	3 days		8/19/2009
1	sinus pressure pain	The pain increased when taking Nasonex. I have been getting migraines since the age of 16 (I'm 59 now.) Most of my headaches are allergy induced and I wake up with headaches daily. My doctor prescribed Nasonex for the sinus pressure. The prescription stated to use it daily. My headaches become more frequent and severe. I stopped using it immediately.		F	59	7 days		8/16/2009
1	Sinus Infection	Only took for 2 days and lost my sense of smell. Now my taste glands are weak and there is a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Still can't smell and I haven't used it in 21 days. Now thjey are saying something is wrong because my spleen is enlarged. Don't know if the two have anything to do with each other but it sure is a COINCIDENCE	DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!! Too many doctors pushing too many drugs.	F	48	2 days		8/8/2009
1	sinus pressure and congestion	I went to two ENT's because I had ear ache, vertigo, and severe nasal congestion. One diagnosed me with TMJ (???) and prescribed Nasonex for my congestion. Another ENT said it was middle ear infection. Took the nasonex sample for 3 weeks. The dizziness didn't go away. On top of that, my vision was so blurry, squinting all day, had trouble sleeping, had swollen lymph nodes, difficulty swallowing, unable to focus or concentrate, headache, just felt like my head was in a bubble (the hangover feeling everyone is describing). I stumbled upon this website (thank goodness) and tossed the nasonex immediatley. Two days later, the blurry vision and dizziness went away. Slept like a baby. Feel so much better. However, the muscles/nerves around my face are achy, sore, and tired. No pain just extremely uncomfortable. Hot compresses and massage help. Does anyone else experience this after they stopped using it? This drug is awful and it should be banned. I wish I had known about the side effects pri	Nasonex did relieve my congestion but the side effects are too severe. It's not worth it. I wish I had know about all the side effects before using it. I am exploring other alternatives to relieve my congestion. I am trying out natural products and they seem to be helping.	F	40	21 days		8/6/2009
1	sinusitus	For the first week I didn't notice any side effects but then each succeeding day I noticed that a horrible taste would linger in my throat after taking Nasonex. Each day the taste lasted longer. I stopped taking the drug after 18 days but the horrible taste and weird sensations in my mouth lingered for over six months. I no longer have the bad tastes but I have not recovered my sense of smell and taste.	I definitely would not recommend this medication to anyone. Loss of taste and smell is heartwrenching. Has anyone else had his/her sense of smell and taste restored?	F	62	18 days		8/3/2009
3	To assist in breathing/allergies	It took about 3 weeks to figure out that I was now having severe headaches, nasal pain, coughing, itching, blurred vision and such that I was not having before. I only went online to to search for side effects as I suspected the headaches, and found out all the other common ones I'd have never thought related were listed as common!! And I'm not a whiner!!	If it works without side effects it seems awesome, but if you have conflicts, run away..	M	46	21 days		7/29/2009
1	Alergies	Tremmors, headaches, nausea, depression.	I wrote a while ago that I did not have any symptoms from this drug. After over two years on it, I have developed constant body tremmors and nausea. I believe the depression is from the fact that I am constantly worrying about the side effects. I am tossing out the rest of the bottle.	M	40	2 years		7/29/2009
1	Blocked nose,post-nasal driip	Palpitations,chest tightness,feeling of not being able to breathe.Panicky feeling that something was going to happen and I would need to call ambulance.	Never in my life experienced feelings like these.Started about 2weeks after starting medication and rapidly got worse,took spray for a further 6 days then stopped.Took 11days for these sode-effects to wear off.It gradually got better and I returned to normal.Still got nose problems ,I will keep them!	M	59	20 days		7/27/2009
5	mild allergies (esp. seasonal)	The only side effect was that I no longer had a yearly sinus infection.	After almost two years, no side effects, except that it wiped out my yearly sinus infections! Very effective, and it does not go throughout the body, such as Claritin-D does. I'm happy with Nasonex, but will keep an eye out for the many side effects others on this website have experience.	F	58	2 years		7/25/2009
5	Severe allergies	None	For most of my life I've had terrible allergies at all times of the year, so bad I couldn't breathe. The symptoms would last for weeks and sometimes months and then turn into bronchitis. I've even been hospitalized for it. Since I've taken nasonex for several years now, I have had no (zero) such occurances. It's the best thing that ever happened to me--completely changed my life. I feel healthy. I'm not sure why it would cause all these bad side effects others describe.	F	60	3 years		7/23/2009
1	allergies, inflamed nasal pasage	fatigue, headaches, some blurry vision, anxiety, heart palpitations	Seeing doctor tomorrow to get off of it. Skipped one dose and had blurry vision/migraine, and I NEVER have had one before! Very depressed, and tired all the time for no reason.	F	24	4 weeks		7/23/2009
2	Hay Fever	Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason.	Unfortunately Nasonex has cured most of my allergy symptoms which is a dilemma, the alleged side effects are mostly in line with others apart from the swolen ankles and the constipation. I have been taking this for two months now and all the side effects have built up over this time, before hand I was healthy but with Hayfever! I will discontinue use of Nasonex as from today and see if the problems persist or desist and post again in say 4 weeks time.	F		2 months		7/22/2009

5	allergies	none.. just bad taste?	is the best. MUCH BETTER than antihistamines. works amazing.	F	29	3 years		7/20/2009
1	chronic sinusitus	Loss of sense of smell and taste, canker sores in mouth, heart palpitations, hard time sleeping (waking up a lot)	I can't smell much any more, and what I can smell and taste is overridden by this smell I can't really describe... kind of like a fishiness or some other not so good smell. I have stopped taking the drug for 3 days and I am sleeping well and don't have palpitations anymore. No change yet in smell/taste.	F	41	2 months		7/20/2009
2	congestion, allergies	waking at night, coughing, still some congestion	Our allergist perscribed Nasonex for our 2 yr old son. We are almost to two weeks on it. His mood has been much improved with the alleviation of some of his allergic symptoms (poor guy), but he has slept horribly, waking 2-4 times/night crying, sometimes wet from sweat (the room is kept quite cool, so I am assuming this is from anxiety/dreams- unusual for him). The insert doesn't say anything about insomina, so I was reassured to read that so many others report the same.	F	39	13 days		7/19/2009
2	chronic rhino-sinusitis	I'm getting really bad oral thrush.	I just find that I'm paying money for a product which does absolutely nothing.	F	36	4 weeks		7/17/2009
1	Blocked nose	Pains in my ears, blocked feeling in my chest and pressure on it, feeling as if I'm waking up with a very bad hangover (and I don't drink any more), frequent headaches and feeling extremely down for no particular reason.	Doctor prescribed it for a blocked nose. Did nothing for the nose but definitely seemed to get the side effects. Stopped taking it for a couple of days and generally felt better. However doctor recommended I keep using it and symptoms returned almost immediately when I started taking it again. Have stopped now. Great to see so many people on this site describing similar side effects, particularly when none of these are mentioned in the literature on Nasonex. Surely some cause for concern?	M	45	2 months		7/16/2009
4	Alergies	Occasional bleeding nose.	I haven't had a problem with Nasonex but might have a solution for those who have had some minor side effects or are thinking of using it. My doctor was VERY emphatic about not "snorting" Nasonex into my lungs. Some people have said that they had tight chests and sore throats. This might be a very real side effect for some but for others, the medicine should never get that far. Lightly breathing in through your nose while spraying is enough. DON'T spray and snort the stuff into your lungs like asthma medicine. Also, I found that after one bottle, I switched to one spray per nostril--works fine for me and I can finally breath through my nose after years of nasal blockage.	M		2 years		7/15/2009
1	Post-Nasal Drip	Awaking in the night feeling as though I couldnt breathe,chest felt really tight.Totally panicked and thought I would have to go to A&E. Has happened several nights previously but not so severe.Anxiety all the time.	Been taking Nasonex for 3weks,it has made no difference to my symptoms and I will never use it again,the side-effects are horrendous,glad of this site as I thought I was going mad!Still feeling as though my lungs are not getting enough oxygen!only 18hours since my final spray,so hopefully it will quickly improve.	F	61	21 days		7/11/2009
2	congested nose	Spots/acne, tickly cough and dry throat	Was taking Loratadine 10mg along with nasonex to help my hayfever and keep my nose clear, but my throat was really dry while taking the nasonex and my spots on my face got worse. I have stopped the nasonex 3 days ago after 2 weeks use, my spots insteantly began clearing up and I have stopped coughing so much. I am still taking the loratadine atm, and my nose hasnt been congested yet. I am sure the nasonex was causing these problems.	M	23	2 weeks		7/6/2009
1	nasal polyps	Tremors, feeling very shaky, tired due to lack of sleep, biggest problem is depression , no energy, feeling of being frightened.	I have been taking it for about 6 weeks now and it does help the problem, but due to side effects I will never take it again. They build up gradually on you.	M	61	6 weeks		7/3/2009 Email
