| 2 | sinus congestion | dizziness, ear pressure, absent minded | F | 36 | 2 weeks 1X D | 4/27/2013 | 1 | Clogged ear | Dizziness, anxiety, hyper activity, "heart jumping out of chest", sore throat, dry mouth. | NOW I realize that my crazy experience derived from Nasonex! For the past weeks I have been very dizzy, and I still am today, three weeks after quitting. I feel like something is clogged in the back of my head. I was to empty three bottles, during 2-3 months, but I quit after 8 weeks, not noticing any improvement. I thought I was going out of my mind completely! I did not realize that Nasonex was the reason for it, until now. I will see my doctor in a week. I already know that he will simply smile at me, not believing one single word that I say. I hope this tyranny will end soon! | M | 39 | 2 months 2X D | 4/24/2013 | 1 | Nasal allergies | Doc failed to mention that nasal steroid sprays may have identical effects as orally taken steroids like prednisone which is a drug I swore I would never take again unless I was dying, and even then death might be preferable. Extreme anxiety, panic attacks, sore throat, head pain, constant feeling of thick post nasal drip, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, shakiness. The only thing that felt somewhat better was the inflammation inside my nose, everything else felt worse. I finally realized these symptoms were getting close to being identical with the experience I had with prednisone about 7 yrs ago when I was prescribed it to stop my throat from swelling shut when I had mono. I have immediately discontinued use of nasonex. | If you would not take oral steroids or have had negative reactions to them, avoid this product as well!! | F | 28 | 7 days 1X D | 4/17/2013 | 1 | sinus pressure | Ten days into using Nasonex my mouth, tongue & lips started to tingle, go numb & then begin to burn, all within 30 min. of spraying. Over the next 2 hours the burning progressed to all mucous membranes i.e., eyes, sinuses, mouth, eosophagus, stomach, bladder, urethra & burning on urination. All followed by full body itching, head to foot, shaky hands and anxiety. An already present cataract became a lot worse. Mentally, I felt detached and wanted to sleep all day. | I have a history of sinus pressure on the inner ear causing vertigo, particularly when flying. Nasonex was used for about 10 days when symptoms appeared. I am highly sensitive to various drugs so when symptoms appeared, I immediately suspected Nazonex. Stopped using it and, except for the cataract, all symptoms resolved in about 48 hours. | F | 70 | 10 days n/a 2X D | 4/7/2013 | 1 | allergies | Within a couple of hours of spraying 1 spray in each nostril, I started feeling severe flu like symptoms. Chills, fever, nausea. I went to bed at 10pm and suffered with insomnia, when I finally did get to sleep I was having vivid recurring nightmare, like on a constant loop..and a sense of dread, with the thoughts that I was going to die. | I will not be taking this product again. There is something serioiusly wrong with it. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X D | 4/5/2013 | 1 | Enlarged adenoids | My poor daughter suffered from anxiety at school, chest pain, sore throat, no appetite, screaming fits, saying she hates her life and wants her old life back, saying she was going to die, punching her throat and crying non stop as well as waking up in the middle of the night crying. I took her off at day 6 and hope we see our previously happy, fun loving little girl come out of this awful nightmare. I hate nasonex and steroids. She was a classic case of roid rage apparently. Do your research, my mistake was trusting an ENT. | F | 8 | 10 days 2 sp each | 4/3/2013 | 1 | fluid in inner ear | Hypersensitiviies, jittery, irritable, out of sorts, verge of panic attack, ringing ears | I will definitely stop using this medicine after having these weird sensations/feelings the last two days. I will just wait and see if the fluid in the inner ear disappears on its own. This medicine is not right for me. | F | 47 | 2 days 2 sprays 2X D | 3/29/2013 | 1 | clogged sinuses | loss of smell and taste | It has been 8 weeks since I stopped taking the nasonex and I still can not taste or smell | F | 10 days 2X D | 3/28/2013 | 2 | Cold symptoms | Experienced bad headache. | I have insurance that covered most of the cost of the Rx, thankfully. But when I asked how much it really cost, was told $188! For a small vial---seriously??? And that it was one of the cheaper options. Way overpriced for what it does. No wonder our health care system is in the mess it's in. | F | 58 | 5 days 50 mg 1X D | 3/25/2013 | 1 | Congested sinuses & clogged ear | My right shoulder started feeling like it couldn't hold up the weight of my arm, my knees swelled up so bad, I couldn't bend them to sit or walk properly, I had to take my rings off because my hands started swelling too. Severe headaches, cold sores on the inside of my lips, I've never had them! Scabs inside my nose, bloody mucus, very sore throat, a stye on my left eye, my joints feel very weak at times, almost fell because my knees gave out on me. I have no idea why anyone has not taken this crap off the market! I've never had side effects like this with medicines before, let alone a nasal spray, this medicine I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually has a lawsuit brought against this company, I'm going to look into it for sure! It's been 8 days, and one of my legs swelling has gone down, shoulder pain comes and goes,headache is very faint. My hands are still swollen, but my joints feel weak, I have to be careful when I walk. I want my life back! | F | 45 | 2 weeks 2 sp X 2 | 3/24/2013 | 1 | Allergies,and asthma | After taking Nasonex, I developed ear pain, clogging, fullness, and decreased ability to hear. This medication burned my throat. Nasonex also caused my sinuses to feel very dry and irritated. I developed a serious ear infection as a result of this medicine. I would not recommend this to anyone. | CAUSED EAR INFECTION/ PAIN/ CLOGGING!!!!!! | F | 37 | 3 days 20mg 1X D | 3/19/2013 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis | Insomnia, dizziness, nausea, extremely dry mouth, anxiety, swollen tongue | Well, if only I had checked online before starting to use this... Within 1 day my tongue was swelling, in 2 days I was waking up in the middle of the night for no reason (same next night) and I felt nauseous, dizzy and anxious. Horrible! Have stopped today, let's hope I feel better soon. I'll take sinusitis any ol' day over this. | F | 31 | 4 days 50mg 2X D | 3/15/2013 | 1 | allergies | throat swelling,difficulty breathing, pink eye, cough, dry nose,stuffy painful sinuses (did not have these symptoms before taking nasonex) | I'll just stick to claritin, thanks but NO THANKS! | F | 40 | 21 days 1X D | 3/7/2013 | 1 | allergic rhinitis, seasonal al | My four year old son became extremely anxious while taking this medication, constantly talked about being afraid of dying, was extremely irritable and would start crying at the drop of a hat. He was afraid to go to bed, crying inconsolably at the end of Dr. Seuss movies....I'm talking really, really emotional. He was never like this before (with the exception of the two separate times we tried Flovent. Our allergist seems really convinced that there can't be a systemic reaction to inhaled steroids, but I really beg to differ. I've watched it happen twice on Flovent and now on Nasonex. I know what my son is like normally and I know what he's like on these medicines and it's truly scary and awful. | M | 4 | 4 weeks 1X D | 2/26/2013 | 3 | Past nasal drip | Extremely aggressive, night terrors, hitting, intense screaming | My 21 month old son had taken nasonex before with no side effects. He was taking it for coughing at night due to a post nasal drip and constant ear nfevtions. However, this time it was prescribed to take it twice a day. Within 3 days there was a MAJOR change in my sons behavior. My very sepweet boy who loved to eat and sleep became super aggressive. He started hitting me and his baby brother who he always kissed, not hit. He began screaming an out of control scream making me wonder if he was possessed! He was waking up at night screaming from night terror than wouldn't go back to sleep, he was probably too scared from the awful dreams he was having. I thoug at first that maybe it was the beginning of the terrible twos but theses symptoms came on way too fast and the it dawned on me that it might be the nasonex. I found this website and now my suspicions are confirmed. Parents beware! I feel awful that my son has been feeling like this from this medication! | M | 2 | 5 days 2X D | 2/24/2013 | 3 | allergies | cataract in my right eye | F | 52 | 4 years 30 microgr | 2/16/2013 | 1 | Hay fever | My 7 year old son was prescribed Nasonex by an EMT a Month ago. One squirt in each nostril each night. He developed a cough (sounds like a clearing of the throat) which wouldn't go away so I took him to the GP. He was tested for whopping cough which came back negative. Whilst at the dr getting the test results the doctor noticed a certain hand movement that's son kept doing. He sent my kids out of the room and said that he thinks my has behavioral (the cough & hand movement). He told me he would refer us to a Tourette's specialist in a few weeks if it continues. The cough & hand movement both began about a month ago. I went home confused and tried to think of what could be the cause. Then I remembered he started Nasonex not long before both symptoms occurred. So I googled Nasonex side effects & it wasn't listed. So I googled 'can Nasonex cause behavioral tics' and hundreds of results came up. I rang my GP who had never heard if it. He did his own research and said there seems to be a definate link and to stop using it immediately. I rang the ENT who have scheduled my son in for an emergent appointment next week. I'm hoping that when the Nasonex is out of his system the tics will stop. In the meantime, after, the poor kid has nausea & headaches from withdrawals, and it's only from 4 weeks use. Be aware!!! | M | 7 | 1 months 1spray | 2/8/2013 | 1 | Allergy | Anxiety, Panic, Depression, Insomnia, Muscle Pain, Migraine Headache | Nasonex can cause wildespread depression, anxiety and many other problems. I`m still recovered from this stuff 1 month ago. It can cause also Cushing Syndrome. Corticosteroids, are SUCK!!! | M | 33 | 10 days 8 MG 1X D | 1/21/2013 | 1 | SINUS CONGESTION | Nasonex did help my nasal congestion a great deal. Unfortunately, after close to 2 yrs of constant use the pressure in my eyes increased. My eye doctor told me to stop the Nasonex immediately, as that could be the cause. I did & within 2 months my eye pressures normalized. It is not mentioned in the literature that increased eye pressures & cataracts are possible side effects. My eye doctor informed me of this after I also developed a cataract while on it. | For me, the benefits did NOT outweigh the risks. I am sorry I took Nasonex. | F | 52 | 2 years 2X D | 1/19/2013 | 1 | Sinus Problems | I took this for two days and didn't notice any side effects, but it didn't improve my condition, so I stopped taking it. 5 days later I had to go to the docs because my sinus problems clearly developed into an infection. My Doctor gave me antibiotics but told me to continue the Nasonex, so I gave it another try, and shortly after, I developed a headache that was worse than before, funny taste in my mouth, an anxiousness :( I will not take it again! Going to try acupuncture treatment instead!!' | F | 34 | 1 days Free Sampl | 12/13/2012 | 3 | Allergies | Well today was my first dosage of the spray and everything seemed fine. I've been laying in bed since 10 pm trying to sleep and it's 1 am now. Has to be from the meds. Not sure if I will continue. Have had a minor headache also. | M | 30 | 1 days | 12/10/2012 | 2 | Seasonal allergies & nasal swelling | Severe Sore throat, difficulty swallowing, constant headache, night sweats & irritability more than usual. | F | 29 | 2 weeks 50 mg | 12/2/2012 | 1 | nasal congestion | My 3 year old son took this one time and the next day was off the wall hyper to the point of thinking something was wrong. He wasn't wouldn't listen and tried to hit me. I would not advise this for young children | M | 3 | 1 days 1X D | 11/29/2012 | 2 | Post polyp surgery | Had a stent inserted into my nose after sinus surgery. The stent released a steady dosage of nasonex. While I could breathe well after surgery, I've had to go to the ER for a two day headache that was not helped by narcotic painkillers. I've had 4 days so far of fluctuating fevers, I've developed a phlegmy coulgh and laryngitis. I've completely lost my sense of taste and smell. Unfortunately, I can't get the stents out, they should be dissolving in a few more weeks. I am so hoping that my taste and smell come back! | 26 | 18 days 1X D | 11/23/2012 | 2 | Sinus infection | Post nasal drip/painful throat, mouth sores and tenderness, headaches, eye, brow and face pain. Throat and eye dryness, jaw pain. I am also feeling disconnected and unclear. I'm stopping the medication tonight, I can't cope like this. | F | 44 | 6 days 60 | 11/21/2012 | 5 | Because of blocked nose | First i started getting weird headaches then my ears pop,even when i took strong painkillers it didnt stop also felt very weird by that didnt feel myself,on the week end i had a panic attack,last time i had a panic attack was 1996,am so angry why didnt the GP warned me of the side effects. | M | 48 | 6 days 18g | 11/18/2012 | 1 | allergy | Pressure in the eyes and forehead, itchy and puffy totally dry eyes, tiredness, sleepness, inability to concentrate | I have suffered 1 year from the side-effects of Nasonex. I have undergone a total hell. My symptoms started suddenly after 2 weeks of using Nasonex, twice a day. It took me 4 months to realize that the spray was the cause why I feel so weird. Think I visited all possible doctors to find out the reason, but nodody could diagnose anything. It ended up that my parents took me to a psychiatrist who insisted that I had an endogenious depression. I was put on Cipralex. But I was totally happy individual before that incident! So I continued thorough researching and after 1 year the total understanding of what happened came to me. In short, Nasonex constricts the vessels also the ones of the brain. Narrowing of blood vessels results in glucose deficiency, magnesium deficiency in some cells (not enough glucose is brought to those cells so they can’t perform aerobic respiration in a normal rate). Thats why we feel so awful. First you need vasodilators (I used Crataegi fructus and Ginkgo biloba in high doses). It will widen your vessels and enable minerals to be delivered to the cells again. Then you need to increase magnesium in your nutrition - better to buy magnesium in the pharmacy and drink a daily dose. This is how I recovered from a year nightmare when I thought I was going insane. I dont take anything now and feel great. Get well people! | F | 23 | 4 months 2X D | 11/6/2012 | 1 | Allergies, stuffy nose | Within a few days the allergies were gone, no snotty nose or sneezing. What I thought was a miracle drug actually has caused some pretty horrific side effects. Within a week my son developed a dry cough (spoke to pharmacist & was assured it had nothing to do with nasonex.) This cough hung around for about 3 weeks before the diarrheoa & dizziness begun. Saw the GP who diagnosed mycoplasma & we were given antibiotics. The vomitting started, chest pains, increased dizziness, wheezing. All these symptoms I associated with the mycoplasma. Continued using the nasonex, no improvement seen in my son. A chest X-ray was performed, nil signs of infection (no temperature the whole time) another lot of antibiotics given & he seemed to completely heal... Until yesterday & bang chest pains, difficulty breathing, dry cough, wheezing +++ I am talking about a child who in 9yrs has barely had a cough/cold last for more than a week let alone had a severe wheeze in which ventolin provides only short term relief!. I 100% believe this medication is responsible for what has gone on in the past 5 weeks & to think that doctors & pharmacists were oblivious to these side effects is disgusting... I work in the medical field & I know it's impossible to know every drug back to front, but really isn't it obvious it can do more harm than good. Be aware of the side effects so that if you get any you know exactly why it's happening. | M | 9 | 6 weeks Junior | 11/3/2012 | 1 | ears allergys | Eye problems dizzy cant sleep. Worst drug ive ever taking! Anxiety, ears ringing. | M | 37 | 1 months | 10/26/2012 | 5 | No side effects at all | I took this to fix my nasal congestion, which it did, but it also stopped my allergies, which had been a nightmare up til then because of the early spring. This is the best allergy medication I have ever taken and I had no side effects at all. | F | 28 | 5 months 50 MCG 2X D | 10/19/2012 | 1 | Stuffy nose | My 4.5 yr old son's ENT recommended these for him. We had him take it for two weeks and started noticing a myriad of problems. First, he started blinking incessantly, started to squint/strain when trying to see. We took him to an eye doctor, who said he's near sighted. We didn't know at the time why. Second, his behavior became markedly worse, often over excited/agitated and was getting into trouble in summer camp. To the point where he was kicked out of CAMP!! Third, he started having heart palpatations at night, now he's only 4.5 and cannot describe the symptoms. But he'd wake up in the middle of the night grasping his chest while crying. Took us 2 weeks to find this site and realize all the symptoms are due to the stupid steroid. We immediately stopped using it. But his vision problem did not improve until 1 month later. We only gave this drug to our son because his doctor swore it had "no side-effects". Turns out to be far from the truth. It is EVI | Evil/Terrible medication | M | 4.5 | 14 days 2X D | 10/17/2012 | 3 | Rhinitis | I feel like the Duracell Bunny! Hyperactive. Blocked nose, blood in nasal mucus. | I was prescribed one bottle of Nasonex a year ago which helped clear up excess mucous, so, when symptoms returned, the consultant suggested another prescription - I agreed. What I'd forgotten about was the side effects I'd had before, mainly hyperactivity. I don't take any other medication so the difference was remarkable. People have also commented on my mood so I'm sure it's affecting that simply because they have commented - grumpy is the word they use. All of which is out of character. I googled the hyperactivity thing with the drug and landed here. We can't all be wrong. But as I have now cleaned my fridge (at 6 am), partied like a teenager and am still going...I might just ask for a repeat prescription!! | F | 48 | 1 months 2 sprays 1X D | 10/12/2012 | 3 | Year round indoor & outdoor allergi | Headache, sore muscles, tight chest, low-grade fever, sore throat, nosebleeds. | I used Nasonex years ago and had great success with taking care of my sneezing and congestion, but the constant sore throats made me stop taking it. Tried it again this year and did wonderfully for several months, then started having random days where I felt like I had the flu; fever, headaches, body aches, hurt to breathe. It would last for about a day and then stop, then repeat again. Going to stop the Nasonex for a few weeks and see if these symptoms disappear (pretty sure it's the culprit). It did a wonderful job of clearing up my congestion and helping me breathe, I had no sneezing or itching... but the side effects are too miserable. It's like having a mini-flu every other day, and I can't function like that. I'm glad I found this site, nobody ever mentions these side effects! | F | 35 | 1X D | 10/9/2012 | 4 | Chronic sinusitis / allergies | None--it's really helped me stay healthy. | F | 33 | 6 months 1 spray ea | 10/6/2012 | 1 | Sinus congestion | This is absolutely horrible. I have been having dizziness, nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, for a whole now. Started only using Nasonex at night bc I felt so dizzy and sick during the day, just started reading these reviews bc I can't sleep due to taking nasonex (shocker) I called Walgreens and asked the pharmacist about it and basically he said the meds are not causing anxiety or any of these symptoms WTF... But after reading this I know this is exactly my problem. It really pisses me off that drs, pharmacists, etc are discounting patient symptoms especially when there are this many people suffering from an obviously problematic drug. It may work for some but this is not good for everyone. Nobody wants to feel like they are going crazy. | F | 24 | 10 days 1 x daily | 10/2/2012 | 2 | Allergies | It work well for my allergies BUT I got bronchitis after a cold for years. I could not figure it out until I did some research. I feel like I am developing asthma too. Physicians should warn you of this conditions if they see you getting bronchitis at least 1-2 year when taking Nasonex!! | It is miserable to get bronchitis for 3-4 weeks once or 2x a year! That is 1-2 months of my life wasted!! I am going to look for natural alternatives or acupuncture instead of this nasty steroid! | F | 48 | 6 years 50mcg 1X D | 10/1/2012 | 1 | Severe allergies | Severe vertigo and weakness. I could no longer function The room was spinning around me, I had to hang on to walls not to fall... + anxiety | My allergies did subside but I was no longer able to move due to the vertigo and weakness | M | 46 | 1 days 30 1X D | 9/9/2012 | 1 | Sinusitis | Woke up around 2:30am with a lower lip the size of a HOT DOG and a super rapid heart rate. Eight hours later and it's still about 20% swollen. Terrible time sleeping and really CRAZY anxiety over the past couple days. I actually thought I was starting to lose my mind. Super irritable as well. | I have never suffered any serious side effects to medication before so it took me a couple days to figure out that Nasonex was the culprit. This stuff is HARDCORE! I'd rather deal with the sinusitis. NO BUENO! | M | 31 | 7 days 50MG 1X D | 8/31/2012 | 1 | Possible sinus problem,nasal drip. | Severe nosebleed. Doctor's comment was"It does that somtimes." Have deviated septum now with permanent scab,some nasal blockage on one side. | Doctor knew I had deviated septum, didn't caution about contact. | M | 84 | 1 weeks 1X D | 8/20/2012 | 3 | Chronic Sinusuits / Allergies | This stuff worked wonders on my terrible allergies and unblocked my nose when nothing else would... BUT, it's been 2 weeks and I am feeling the same type of side effects I was when I was on Prednisone. I have become so moody and quick to snap, anxious, and my heart rate is up. I had a dose of 2 squirts yesterday and felt so hyper and aggressive, I swear I am not normally like this. And am I crazy, but is my face breaking out more because of this too? I hope reducing the dosage will help reduce these awful side effects, because it sure is nice to be able to breathe. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 1X D | 8/17/2012 | 1 | Allergies | I would NOT recommend this product to anyone EVER. I noticed after a couple days of taking Nasonex I had extreme anxiety, trouble breathing, insomnia and weight loss. I had really bad mood swings, almost felt bipolar. I felt I couldnt control my thoughts and I was completely restless. I quit taking it and noticed all the symptoms went away. I asked my dad if nasal sprays could cause insomnia and after reading all these negative reviews I'm Glad I'm not the only one who experienced these negative effects because i was worried I was going crazy. I will not use this again. | F | 25 | 10 days | 8/13/2012 | 1 | nasal allergies, post nasal drip | My 8 year old son, who is usually easy going was an absolute nightmare on this medication. He had aggressive outbursts where he would scream and cry uncontrollably, throw things, kick walls, etc. I finally made the connection that his unbearable behavior had begun about 2 weeks earlier when he started the nasonex. As soon as I took him off it he was fine. I do not recommend this medication to children especially those that are sensitive to side effects. | Will never use this medication again. | M | 8 | 2 weeks 1X D | 7/31/2012 | 1 | Blocked sinus | anxiety and insomnia | F | 63 | 2 days spray 1X D | 7/21/2012 | 5 | Chronic nasal inflammation | None | Allowed me to breathe freely at night after years of trying every over-the-counter medication on the market. | M | 43 | 3 months 1X D | 7/13/2012 | 3 | Allergies/Clogged Eustachian Tubes | Anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia | I don't notice any benefits from the nasonex and have had quite a number of negative side effects. I can't say for certain that they are related, but I will stop using the nasonex and see if it goes away. My doctor claims there is no way my symptoms are from the med, but after reading others stories here, I have to question him. | F | 28 | 60 days 2 sprays 1X D | 7/13/2012 | 1 | allergys, sinus infection | Horrible anxiety and dizziness, been off 3 days and feeling better but still not normal. | F | 29 | 8 days 2Xd | 7/1/2012 | 5 | Severe allergies/sinusitis | I honestly don't think I had any side effects at all from Nasonex. It kept my sinuses completely clear most of the time, which was a God-send for me. I took myself off of the drug simply because I started Menopause and thought it might be contributing to the nightsweats I was getting. Now I know that it wasn't at all. I am, again, having horrible allergy symptoms and am getting back on it. I think Nasonex is a great drug (for me at least)! | F | 54 | 2 years 50 MG 1X D | 6/27/2012 | 1 | Season Allergy | Severe Headache, ringing ears, sweating, dry mouth and etc.. I won't take this ever again due side effects. | F | 45 | 5 days 50 2X D | 6/27/2012 | 1 | Sinus allergies, polyps | First day of using Nasonex, my daughter had very bad nightmares, she was up and crying all night. This is very unusual for her. She has felt extremely nauseous and dizzy for no reason. Very irritable, moody and bad tempered. I called her doctor and told me to stop the drug immediately. She took it last year for a couple of weeks with no effects, but this time it was awful. I'll never give it to her again. I've read it can damage her vision permanently. I'll try something else. | F | 5 | 3 days 50 | 6/24/2012 | 3 | Congestion after an operation | Anger, diahrrea | M | 18 | 6 weeks 18mg | 6/5/2012 | 1 | Alergies | Head hurt and dizzy can't move eyes nose hert | 11 | 3 weeks | 6/5/2012 | 1 | Seasonal allergy | Weight gain (even having healthy diet and working out frequently), light nose bleed, severe headache, painful eyes | I did not know that I had nasal swelling before, and my doctor told me so. She prescribed me NASONEX and I used it for 15 days and then I couldn't continue using it because of the horrible side effects. Headaches were horrible! I couldn't concentrate at all. Besides I couldn't look up and down because my eyes were hurting. It was like having something pulling your eyes all the time and I could even see blood vessels in my eyes! Terrible! | F | 19 | 15 days 50MG 2X D | 6/2/2012 | 3 | Sesonal allergy | Tried flutonsine made me dizzy then tried this hopping t would work. Started getting dizzy and real nasous. When I stand up feel like ima faint and when I walk I feel like I want to barf I hate it and my body become addicted to it without it Dosent do what it use to | F | 15 | 1 months 2 sprays | 5/23/2012 | 1 | Nasal congeestion | Scabbing which turned into a hole in my septum | Doctor told me to insert the tip farther inside my nostril... bad advice. | F | 49 | 14 days 1X D | 5/22/2012 | 1 | Sinusitis | Joint pain, insomnia, vivid dreams/nightmares, cataracts, puffy eyes, multiple styes, heart palpitations, loss of focus, anxiety, depression, weight gain, irritability, persistent cough, diarrhea, but hey I could breathe out my nose for the first time in 20 years! I stopped taking it about 10 days ago and most of the symptoms have corrected themselves. Nothing I can do about the cataracts other than surgery. The weight gain I will have to work off. | M | 42 | 8 months 1x daily | 5/19/2012 | 4 | Year round alergies | Pressure in my left eye is 22, right eye is 24. I cannot say for certain that the high eye pressures were caused by Nasonex, but I never had a problem before. | Nasonex has drastically helped my perpetually stuffed up nose and repeated catching of colds. | M | 50 | 2 years 50 MG 1X D | 5/16/2012 | 1 | Sinus Inflamation | After the first week, I began feeling "disassociated" from reality - in truth, it was like I was observing things going on around me but I was not an active participant. I thought it was from the sudafed I was also told to take, but I stopped the sudafed and it didn't get any better. My lips have been tingling for three days, and I have an intermittent headache. I also feel swollen around my face and neck - I can't wait for these sensations to disappear! It has been difficult to function, especially in a job that requires almost constant interactions with other people. | I will never take it again - and I am incredibly thankful that other people have shared their experiences through this forum. Only by reading the information below could I be certain that the Nasonex was causing these issues - I have never felt like this before from any medicine, and I am not typically sensitive to side effects. | M | 41 | 14 days 30 2X D | 5/16/2012 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | Dizzy spells, blurred vision, tingling or numbness in legs at night, anxiety, tired, difficulty sleeping. | It seems to work well to address my sinus problems but the side effects have been horrible. I have stopped using it but for only one day. Based on others experiences I expect things to improve slowly now that I have stopped. | M | 49 | 21 days 1X D | 5/9/2012 | 3 | Stuffiness, ear congestion | After using it consistently every day (in the beginning I only used it as the symptoms appeared) I have developed severe itching in my ear and throat on the side I use it (only my right ear was affected with the symptoms I mentioned). It has become unbearable so I am cutting down to one spray and then will probably have to discontinue. | It really helps the symptoms but now has become a problem in it's own right. | F | 55 | 3 months 100 mcg 1X D | 5/4/2012 | 5 | sinutitis. | No side effects. It has stopped my sinus infections as i was plagued with them all the time. Naxonez has worked wonders with me. | F | 34 | 3 years 100mg | 5/3/2012 |
