| 5 | severe allergies | this drug really did change my life. before i had to pretty much avoid the outdoors in the spring and fall. and would get allergy attacks at night that would keep me up for hours -- absolutely miserable. and i would usually end up with a bronchial infection about once/yr. IMPORTANT: INITIALLY, YOU MUST TAKE THIS DAILY AS PRESCRIBED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE YOU WILL GET RELIEF. But in subsequent seasons I can take it when i start to feel symptomatic and i usually start getting relief the next day. I take it daily in the heart of allergy season, then back way off in the winter and summer. | M | 45 | 10 years 1X day | 6/24/2010 | 5 | rhinitis/sinusitis | Negligible side effects, beats having to have antibiotic therapy q 3-6months | During the cold and flu season some mucus membrane tenderness may occur but less than 24-48hrs, then normal tolerance as before | M | 44 | 2 puffs ea 1X day | 6/25/2010 | 5 | hay fever, allergies | No side effects | I've had allergies and hay fever for about 8 years now, and it keeps getting worse, even with once or twice yearly trips to the ENT. I've been on Nasonex for a couple of weeks now after my latest trip to the doctor, and it's been very effective. During some bad spells, I've been sneezing 30~50 times per day, runny nose, etc. Nasonex cleared it right up and so far has been very effective. I don't really like taking medications for fear of developing resistance, so I will probably stop after a few days to see how bad it gets again, but for now, I've been very satisfied. I can now breathe with both nostrils, sneeze once or twice a day at most, no runny nose, etc. On a side note, I've seen some people complaining about the price of Nasonex, and that seemed strange, so I looked up the prices. Oh, my God! I saw prices ranging from 50~100 dollars! That's ridiculous. Why is it so expensive in the US? I'm in South Korea, and one bottle cost something like 3 or 4 dollars with a prescription. Of course we have a good national health care system, so something like 60~70% of most medications are paid through insurance, but that still makes it around 10 dollars without insurance. I know health care costs in the US is expensive, but I had no idea it was this bad. | M | 39 | 15 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 5 | Severe environmental allergies | None. | Nasonex is a life saver. I've had severe environmental allergies (all tree and grasses) all my adult life and this is the first medication that actual helps me. | M | 33 | 6 months 2X day | 11/4/2010 | 5 | Severe Allergic Rhinitis | Maybe a little more awake than usual. My allergies made me Feel sleepy all the time. It's actually a welcomed side effect. | No issues so far. Will keep everyone posted. | M | 47 | 3 weeks 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 5 | HAYFEVER | The drug works fabulously. I took anti-histamines for years and hayfever would not be reduced much, with bad days being unbearable. I am a pretty severe hayfever sufferer. With nazonex most days i am unaffected by hayfever and on the bad days i am still affected a little bit with itchy eyes and with a cough. I take anti-histamine eye drops which together with nazonex makes it work better. | This site is obviously just filled with the people who have problems, (like most forums), I think the rating doesn't reflect the actual satisfaction of this drug. I know a few people who take it and have the same feeling as me. People with no problems are not going to google "nasonex" side affects... so don't be afraid to take this if your doctor prescribes it. | M | 28 | 2 months 50PG 2X day | 11/20/2010 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | Thick, dark red (almost black) blood when blowing nose or clearing throat - but only once in the whole day and only following the day on which i take Nasonex.Rest of the day when i blow my nose or clear my throat it is thick, but white. | I suffered with allergic rhinitis about once in 7-10 days for 24 hours for several years in India from age 21-26, untreated. Then i moved to Australia and it disappeared by itself (Hint - sometimes a change in climate can help!). But after a good break of 5 years it returned and i suffered for another 5 years before i finally saw a doctor about it who put me onto Nasonex and it worked like magic. My problem disappeared almost instantly. My doctor prescribed 2 puffs in each nostril daily. But i only took it as one puff in each nostril and every alternate day. So in effect i take only a quarter of the dose he prescribed and only in the warmer months. In winter i have absolutely no need of Nasonex as i am fine without it. However in the last 2 months (after taking Nasonex for over 2 years) i have developed the blood in the nose/throat and will be seeing my doctor about it. | M | 39 | 2 years 50mcg 1X O | 12/14/2010 | 5 | Nasal Congestion | Absolutely none. I have been taking this medication for five months and these have been the happiest, most peaceful times of my life. I have slept really well and rarely wake up at night now. I no longer feel tired from allergies and I haven't noticed any of the side effects below. | M | 25 | 5 months 200 mcg 1X day | 9/24/2011 | 5 | seasonal allergies | Works great when used properly and for what it is designed for. Too bad we have so many people who want to blame a nasal spray for their poor overall health, bad diets and lack of exercise. | M | 53 | 4 years | 12/5/2011 | 5 | My son has allergies | None | M | 11 | 9 years 30MG | 12/16/2011 | 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 | 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 day | 7/13/2012 | 5 | constant congestion/sinus headaches | Leaves a bit of a bad taste at back of my mouth if I don't drink or eat anything after. | I had been suffering from year-round sinus congestion and sinus headaches for 2 years. Had previously been prescribed Flonase but that spray did not help at all. I later had a successful septoplasty done but this provided only a slight benefit. After the surgery, my doctor prescribed Nasonex since the surgery hadn't resolved my symptoms. Nasonex worked instantly and has eliminated by headaches and made my congestion 90% better. I finally have my life back again! I was surprised how well it worked considering that Flonase did nothing. | M | 34 | 1 months | 1/17/2006 | 5 | N.A.R.E.S. | noone | great product | M | 28 | 60 days | 9/20/2007 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | My son had been sneezing very badly every morning - with a puff of Nasonex in each nostril the night before the sneezing stopped | M | 3 | 9 months | 1/20/2006 | 5 | my son does | my son doesn't seem to have any side effects | My son is almost 5 years old. He started Zrytec and Nasonex when he was 3. His allergies are finally under control. He hasn't had an ear infection in over a year (which could also be because he is just older). He suffered from at least 30 ear-infections and always, always had a runny nose. He had tubes put in his ears twice. You don't even know he has allergies now. The medicine made the difference. He is a totally different kid. | M | 4 | 1.5 years | 8/21/2006 | 5 | Sinus headaches | No side effects | I had sinus headaches and a feeling of fullness in my head for 2 months. Even with medications, I never went more than a few hours without a headache or a feeling that my head was very heavy.I took allegra,claritin,benadryl and other similar drugs, but they only temporarily helped me. Within just a few hours after taking Nasonex, my headaches went away. It has now been over 3 days (knock on wood) since I have had a sinus headache. | M | 58 | 3 days | 10/26/2006 | 5 | Blocked Sinus/Nasal Drip/Itchy Ears | None | Worked Immediately! After years of Sneezing, Runny nose and Sinus congestion it all cleared. Itchy ears went away. Sinus blocked has improved 75% but there is still a slight restriction. Spouse sick with cold for 2weeks and I didn't get it, that in itself is amazing for me. Zero side effects that I am aware of but still I would like to stop it now. Will consult with Doc about alternative to Steroids. | M | 41 | 4 weeks | 2/28/2006 | 5 | Heyfever | Nil | Have suffered severe allergy to grass since an early an early age, Nasonex has been the only drug to give me sinificant relief from blocked nose, sinus headache, conjuctavitus, fantastic!!!! | M | 41 | 6 months | 10/14/2008 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitus | Mild side effects - mild burning in the nose, some lose of smell | I've had Allergic Rhinitis my whole life (37+) which included post-nasal drip, nose, ear and chest congestion, recurrent sinus and respiratory infections (4+ times a year). This drug has been GREAT. I've been taking this for four months now (one puff in each nostril 1x a day). Eliminated these problems almost completely (knock on wood). I've noticed I've had some loss of sense of smell but nothing i can't live with. Not a bad tradeoff. Would recommend this to anyone with these issues. | M | 37 | 4 months | 10/16/2008 |
