| 5 | Alergies | none | I am 35 years old and have severely suffered from Seasonal Allergies which start in February and continue till August. Last year I was prescribed Nasonex for the first time and omg...what a difference. I read many bad reviews on this site so i thought i would give a positive one. Everyone is different and it's worked well for me. Maybe the difference being is I have extreme enviromental allergies and any improvment noted is better then what I was going though in the past. | 1 years 2X day | 4/14/2012 | 5 | Nasal blocking and dust allergy | None | Very quick control of the itchiness in the nose. | 59 | 3 years | 8/12/2004 | 5 | | 12/30/2008 | 5 | Sinusitis and drainage problems | It works better than your standard sinus sprays. You don't need much for it to work (once a day, one spray per nostril). It works best if you use a nasal saline douche first. I thought it was pretty good. It's expensive. And as it's a steroid, you can't use it long-term. | I have a deviated septum and turbonate problems and this helps breathing, particularly at night if you have conjestion. | 14 days 1X day | 4/8/2014 | 4 | seasonal allergies | Have taken nasonex fall and spring for several years. no side effects. works well for me. | 45 | 3 years | 10/2/2009 | 4 | yes | 36 | 2 days | 10/8/2008 | 4 | | 2/27/2005 | 4 | | 4/5/2001 | 3 | sinusitis | heart palpitations, tight chest, shortness of breath lying down and at the start of exercise, facail rash (after a couple of months) that is related to steriod spray use. | worked to open sinuses, also decreased infections. but palpatations were unnerving. stopped the drug. | | 1/4/2007 | 3 | allergies | hyperactive, jittery, legs shaking, aggressive and angry | My 10 year old son began taking this medication just 4 days ago and even though it's done wonders for his allergies, he's been shaking his legs uncontrollably and has been extremely hyper and jittery. Tonight however he had an extremely aggressive outburst none like I've ever seen and he threw a rock at my head!!! This is frightening and I'm taking him off the medication immediately. | 4 days | 6/17/2007 | 3 | allergies, chronic sinusitis | every few weeks suffered mild colds/sinus pain, much more frequent than before taking Nasonex - not sure that it was the nasonex but after seeing another reviewer with the same problem, I think it might be related. Did a search on google and came up with several results that claim glucocorticosteroids reduce immunity (t cells and immunoglobulins). Although this might make sense, considering allergic reactions can be the result of overactive immunoresponses to what the body perceives as 'allergens' (and g-steroids would thus dampen that response), I think more research might nevertheless develop a link between g-steroids and increased infections. Since my sinus infections are MUCH worse than allergy symptoms, I've stopped taking this drug. Anyone else who experienced similar problems, rate away, I'd love to hear any similar experiences. | it definitely works for allergies, sneezing and runny nose, no doubt, but I'm afraid it may be reducing my immunity. stopped it. | 21 | 5 months | 12/30/2005 | 3 | allergies | | 7/3/2005 | 3 | Nasal Congestion | I have tried Nasonex twice. Both times I have experience irregular acne on my face. I only narrowed it down to the nasonex after the second time I used it. | 24 | 2 weeks | 2/4/2009 | 3 | congested unilateral sinsus | sometimes in first week had tiredness. probably also contributed to excessive nasal dryness that may have aggrevated the swollen sinus condition. | worked very well the first 2-3 weeks just like Nasonex and Nasacort and then became mostly ineffective. suffered congestion for about 4 months most under doctor care using 4 different nasal sprays. While all seem to work initially for a couple of weeks or so, I think all greatly contributed to excessive nasal dryness to a sinus already made dry by allergy (ragweed most likely suspect). Decided to use non-medicated saline nasal spray several times a day to relieve dryness and also stopped all prescriptive nasal sprays. after about a week or so of almost constant nasal saline baths during the day and night, appears sinus now on the mend. also took 1G of viatamin C on theory to reduce histamines in system. no OTC oral drugs were effective except to disrupt sleep. oh yes, also used a 50% saline solution diluted Afrin spray a few times when night time sleeping too disrupted and very effective but very limited use due to rebound concerns. will also be sure to use saline sprays and nasa | 58 | 3 weeks | 3/18/2008 | 2 | Polyps and sinus | At first, I cured my nose blocked. But after 1 week, i got severe headache, dizziness, lost of smell and taste. Now I am having blood tinged in phlegm or mucus on and off and just did nose cauterization last month to stop the bleeding. Still i have some bleeding now. It is also causing me to have dry cough now. But overall, my polyps shrunk. | 37 | 7 months 2x/day | 12/8/2018 | 2 | Allergies | Nose bleeds.. like crazy. | It works well, but my nose got infected. | 45 | 1 years | 8/29/2007 | 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 day | 11/23/2012 | 1 | Alergies | Head hurt and dizzy can't move eyes nose hert | 11 | 3 weeks | 6/5/2012 | 1 | sinitus plugged sinuses | Ive been taking this when needed for a few years just to irrigate my nasal passages but 3 months ago my ear nose and throat DR wanted to operate to open a passage and due to the risks he suggested I try this 3 times a day for a few months and see the outcome. The first thing I noticed were headaches as Im not a sufferer, then became frequent almost daily. My face and eyes became puffy ichty and sore and ringing ears. I had problems focusing and my memory was not at its best. I thought I was losing my mind, becoming depressed, and withdrawn. I stopped taking it and within a week all was back to normal......OH yeah, weight gain...... | 57 | 2 months 2 3X day | 4/25/2012 | 1 | sinus infection | experienced frightening side effects while taking nasonex and experienced withdrawals once stopped using. if anyone wishes to speak more regards the side effects please contact me at [email protected] there are thing you can do to help reduce side effects taking magnisium will help with joint pain... | 43 | 6 months 30mg 1X day | 12/27/2010 |
