 1  Eustachian tube dysfunction Anxiety,panic, depression, fatigue, vertigo vision, racing heart, ear popping. Thank god I came across this thread. No over reaction I thought I was dying and my health anxiety went straight to brain tumor. Side effects steadily crept in around 2.5 week mark. I've now been off this utter rubbish for a week. I'm feeling abit better but still lingering side effects. Would be nice to know how long it took others to get over the side effects? F 35 3 weeks

 1  Allergic Rhinnitis OMG!!, I am so glad I found this page, I've been using generic Nasonex for about 6 weeks, starting about 4 weeks ago I started having these weird panic attack feelings, but the feeling lasted for hours, it was horrible!! It took me a while to connect the dots because I thought well its an OTC medicine it has to be safe right? Wrong!! This stuff is dangerous, my stomach ached and ached, my anxiety was through the roof, my hands and feet itched/tingled, this stuff is poison!! Since stopping it everyday I've felt better. I will never take a steroid nasal spray again, I'd rather have my sinuses completely plugged up Then go through that again!!! M 50 6 weeks

 1  Deviated septum Leaving this for my fellow hypochondriacs: no, (this time) you aren't crazy. And you will be fine after it finally gets out of your system. I've had a lot of panic attacks in my days on this earth and NOTHING comes close to the 24/7 ones that this trash drug gave me after building up in my system. It started out so great that I didn't want to believe it at first but yup, this stuff actually has the potential to raise your resting heart rate by 20-30 BPM and give you 24/7 physical anxiety that can turn into the nastiest panic attacks you'll ever have. Have been off it a little over a week. Have seen some improvements but not out of the woods yet it seems. If you started taking this and noticed *any* symptoms that seem to indicate heightened stress/anxiety/adrenaline levels then stop immediately before it’s too late. M 26 6 weeks

 1  Post nasal drip Dizziness and feeling disorientated. After taking this for 3-4 days I realised I started to feel dizzy at times during the day. Then I put 2 and 2 together. I stopped taking it yesterday and I'm still feeling dizzy through the day and brain fog. This is insane that a nose spray cause cause such crazy side effects. Black listing this and hopefully I feel normal soon. F 28 3 days

 1  Allergy, sinusitis Side effects experienced with flonase: This drug is a real poison, the same as Nasonex. I would like to warn everyone, please think ten times before taking it. I got a severe dizziness, headache and sinus pressure the next day after I bought Nasonex. I started to have tingling in my left foot, heart palpitations and brain fog. I had to stop my work and stay home as I thought I would lose my consciousness. At first I didn’t attribute my symptoms to the drug, because doctors and pharmacists assured me that they are extremely safe. They are probably paid by big pharma to sell this poison. When I realized that my symptoms were due to Nasonex and as I still had a severe sinus pressure I decided to change it for Avamis(Flonase) and everything got even worse. Things slowly started to get back to normal only when I completely stopped taking that poison. The scariest thing is that the damage stays long after you discontinue. Please stay away from this poison. Never again am I using Nasonex or Flonase. I don’t trust doctors even more after this, they are either ignorant or have a special interest to sell that poison. If I were in US I would file a lawsuit against the manufacturers M 40 7 days

 1  Cough, blocked nouse My son got prescript Nasonex for a blocked nose, couch after a bad flu to use it for 3 months. After the first month, around 30 days, he started developing different motor tics such as moving head up and down, eye blinking and started to have speech gaps and it remain blocked for a couple of seconds with eyes closed and did not say anything. Besides this he started to become very anxious and with a lot of mood changes, it looked like a different child. We as a parents have been very worried and started to think from what could happen because he has been a very active and healthy boy and at the last instances we tough that it may be from Nasonex because it was the only thing that changed in his life during the last month. After finding this site and reading all this review, we have immediately stop using this medicine and soon after, in a few days his condition already started to improve. The tics started to fade and to disappear and all the other issues. After 4 days he look like he is returning to normal, it only remain a mild motor tic some time to time of moving his head back and forward a little. Do not use this medicine unless it is really needed and it is the last instance in children's. It has a lot of bad adverse reaction and could have a very big impact for life. I will never use this kind of substances anymore even hot bad it is the situation. For some children there are no reactions at all but for some are very bad. In my country, Romania, doctors are prescription every time for allergies, blocked nose, flu etc. and they do not aware about this reactions and also are not aware of even listen to you if you state that this kind of situations could happen. Stay healthy! M 4 30 days

 1  Sinus Infections/Severe Allergies It took me numerous blood tests to discover that this was causing my issues with my period, anxiety, depression, dizziness, nausea, GI issues, etc. This medicine has left me feeling desolate. Anxious. Unable to start my day and enjoy life. I'm already being treated for depression and anxiety, and even though my treatment was working and I'd been stable and under control for 10 years, 7 to 8 months of daily use of this nasal spray has completely wrecked me. Please be cautious when using this. F 40 8 months

 1  Sinitus Anxiety, fearful, anger, jittery I can not believe that it was possible to get these horrendous symptoms from a little over the counter nasal spray. it seemed so impossible that once I felt better I needed to know for sure. I had a couple of more sprays and again felt the anxiety and other symptoms. This experience has completely changed my opinion regarding any and all prescribed and over the counter medication. I can not believe the makers of this drug do not know about theses side affects. F 60 20 days

 1  Sinusitis From the first spray, severe migraine and I mean severe could hardly walk, nausea possibly caused by the headache, strange jittery feeling, very random fast heart rate I wear a smart watch and my heart rate was spiking at 144 by just standing, badly affected my blood pressure caused a huge increase, won't use it ever again. I didn't for one minute think a nasal spray could cause such awful side effects, my doctor doesn't believe me, I will stick to the saline sprays felt like I was going to stroke out with the migraine or have a heart attack with the heart rate and blood pressure, scary feeling F 49 4 days

 1   Dizzy, lightheaded, chronic fear that I'm going to pass out, jittery, heart palpitations, headaches, severe anxiety which I have never suffered from even in a mild form. Stay away, Dr's need to be more careful prescribing this and tell patients about these side effects as very few of them are listed on the product leaflet. NEVER AGAIN. F 42 4 weeks

 1  Ongoing nasal issues This drug has changed our sweet, happy little boy into a depressed shell of himself. He's been telling me for a couple of weeks now he's sad and doesn't know why. He's been disengaged and distant. Most recently waking each night hysterically crying saying he's sad and doesn't know why. He says he has scary thoughts of things hurting him. It wasn't until I found this forum that I see he's not the only one. I'm so upset for him. Paying it wares off soon and we have our sonshine back M 7 30 days

 1  Allergic Rhinitis I suffer from anxiety. I have worked so hard over the last 3 years and had made huge strides forward. I started getting edgy after about a week. Carried on whilst trying to workout the cause of my anxiety, when I realised it was nasonex I stopped. Two days later I woke up in the middle of the night with a massive panic attack. I have dry heaved that much that I can't breathe deeply and it actually hurts to swallow. I have been other sofa for 3 days, alternative freezing cold or boiling hot. Its not on the sheet that comes with the medication but itis a cocortisoid (not spelt this correctly). These drugs can heighten anxiety even in people who haven't experienced it before. I will not be taking any more drugs until I thoroughly check the contents. Its on my medical records that I have anxiety so would have been good if they had erred on the side of caution. Just have to start rebuilding all the good work I had done again. Thanks Nasonex, NOT. F 64 13 days

 1  Chronic sinusitis The worst dizziness I've ever felt. Like being drunk and I don't drink anymore. It makes you feel like the room is spinning. Light headed and nausea. It's a shame because it does work but not at the expense of feeling unwell. I told my Doctor who said not to touch it as it's poison. He gave me a much better alternative. M 48 0 weeks

 1  Sinus infection Side effects experienced with nasonex: I have had tightness in chest, numbness in my bottom lip. Severe anxiety that doesn't go away. Sleeplessness, jittery. I feel terrible, heart palpitations, I am jumpy, shaky with high adrenaline. I thought I was having a heart attack. It is panic attacks and anxiety, this has been 10 days of Hell and I just now decided to look to see if anyone had similar experience. I have anxiety which was under control, until I started this drug. 4 days to go and I have to stop taking it. I'd stay away from this drug, seems to be poison F 51 10 days
