 1  Eustacion tube clogged It is by far the worst medication I have ever had prescribed! It totally destroyed my smell and taste, which have not recovered after two months of misery. I think it is a dangerous medication and should be taken off of the market. Steroids are too powerful to be used in this manner. I think this medication is too dangerous to be prescribed for any patient. I would not recommend this medication for any reason as there must be better treatments for nasal allergies that aren't this dangerous. M 81 3 days

Next day had a moderate stroke. Heart specialist said Nasonex ABSOLUTELY did not cause stroke, family doctor said Nasonex probably did not cause stroke. I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.

 1  sinus and allergy terrible anxiety and rise in blood pressure I asked for this to try instead of flonase which gave me occasional nose bleeds and just has a bad taste. In 3 days I was on here checking to see if anyone else was having shakes and anxiety as I just had a feeling it was the nasonex. I didnt take any today and already feel a little better. I had only had 3X1 doses so Im hoping I will be back to norm. in a few days..and back to my flonase which never gave me any angst. Felt like a cat with its tail under a rocking chair. F 72 3 days

 1  sinus problems Stomach feels like a huge rock in it; nausea; pressure in head; headache; dizziness; depression; sore throat; heightened sense of smell; blurry vision; no energy; losing weight; bleeding gums. My greatest fear is that these symptoms will not go away. I took it for 5 days and stopped yesterday. Can anyone tell me if these symptoms go away and how long does it take? After 10 days of these side effects I started to get better and many of them went away. However I still have ringing in my ears and bad leg and feet pain. F 72 5 days

 5  hay fever, sneezing and runny nose Minimal I started using a similar nasal spray called baconase about 34 years ago, and my doc switched me to nasonex later. They both worked great. I tried stopping a few times, but runny nose returned everyone. Now I know I am stuck with this for the rest of my life M 71 10 years

 2  allergies, congestion, sinus infect For the first six months, this was a miracle drug for me. Now, after a year, I am having sinus pain and pressure, post-nasal drip, daily headaches, rise in blood pressure, plus an odd prickling of the scalp. I have tapered off to total non-use, but the symptoms have not gone away. My doc said that it was okay to take this year around, but perhaps I should have been warned to watch for side effects if using long-term. F 71 14 months

 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

 1  Nasal congestion It turned me into a grumpy mean old man.It chaged my personality from a quite easy going person to one who would get very nasty if someone said something I did not like. This is the 2nd time I have tried Nasonex.I will never use it again.My wife agrees with me that this stuff is not good for your mental health. M 70 6 months

 3  recurring nasal congestion I have been using nasonex for about 6 months, with minimal success. Recently had severe dizziness from viral infection of ear/throat tubes (per doctor)that caused pressure in inner ear. I noticed viral infection as a listed side effect. I've stopped using nasonex. I'm not positive that nasonex caused the dizziness, but it was bad enough I don't want to take the chance. M 69 180 days

 3  Sinus + mucus overproduction It seems that it roughly coincided with when I began that I have difficulty swallowing food. It hurts. It feels like I have an air lock in my upper throat. I looked for comments on this drug and am interested to see the number for anxiety or depression since after I started Nasonex I feel like crying a lot of the time - something I'm not at all prone to do. Another - possible - thing is that one week after starting Nasonex I got a bad sinus infection - something I've managed to avoid for several years now I was prescribed the Nasonex because of nasal drip to see if it was connected with night 'chokings' - a feeling of total constriction in the throat when asleep and then sudden panic waking. Nasonex has helped this since I haven't had a night choking since taking it. F 69 2 months

 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
