| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 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 | sinus congestion due to allergies | I find it dries out my sinuses somewhat if I use it continuously (but that is why I use it of course), although it works so well that I don't use it for very long anyway. | The first sinus spray steroid that really has worked for me. Good stuff! I have used Nasonex off and on for the past year or so. I wonder what is in it that makes it work so much better than the others I have tried? | M | 52 | | 11/9/2004 | 5 | | 12/30/2008 | 4 | nasal allergies | Sleeplessness which I solved easily by taking the medication in the morning. | You people who think this medication causes 'roid rage are so off-base, it's laughable. You hear steroids and think they're all the same. The kind of steroids that are responsible for 'roid rage are called anabolic steroids. This is a corticosteroid. They are entirely different. Nasonex is a safe drug. It can cause sleeplessness so if it does so, take it in the morning. It works well. The power of suggestion is an incredible thing. | F | | 11/1/2007 | 4 | F | 33 | 33 1X day | 11/26/2013 | 4 | | 2/27/2005 | 4 | stuffy nose | none | M | 63 | | 1/18/2001 | 4 | | 4/5/2001 | 4 | recommended by specialist | I seem to have developed a red nose - similar to being sun-burnt on the end? I stopped using spray for a week to see if the redness would go however, I developed a sinus infection! Started using the spray again and unfortunately, no amount of makeup is covering my red nose... Bit annoyed really as otherwise this product is working for me. Don't particularly like looking like Rudolph! Anyone else suffering this or is it just me? | Immediate relief insofar as I could breath through my nose every morning and didn't wake up with that horrible headache that comes with sinus problems. I was constantly taking pain killers but that has been hugely reduced. | F | 51 | 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 4 | severe allergies | I used Nasonex for 5 years. I have no sense of smell and sense of taste is diminished. My doctor said this is not a side effect. I now used it because of severe allergies , I live in Arizona. After 2 days I had severe burning pain in my hips to my toes. | F | 68 | 30 mg 1X day | 4/17/2010 | 3 | Severe Hayfever | I have an update to these side effects. I have been experiencing them now for about six weeks. What I've discovered after having been to numerous doctors and having all sorts of tests etc is that I have been on the verge of suffering from adrenal fatigue. Naxonex contains corticosteroids which mimics the cortisone - the hormone that produces adrenaline. When I took the Nasonex, it basically pushed my adrenals over the edge producing classic adrenal exhaustion symptoms - such as numbness and hot/cold areas of the body due to poor blood distrobution and really bad insomnia. Do a search on adrenal fatigue and you'll come up with many of the symptoms we all experience. I read that a very high percentage of the population suffer from adrenal fatigue. It would make sense then, that this medication could affect many people by boosting their adrenaline to the extreme - the symptoms of which are very nasty indeed. It also explains why others, who may have normal levels of adrenaline and not | M | 48 | 2 sprays 1X day | 12/9/2010 Patient History | 3 | post nasal drip and chesty cough | If I use it as per doctor's dosage for a week to a month I start to get nose bleeds. The nose bleeds subside a few days after stopping the nasonex | I love it! Yes the nose bleeds were a HUGE hassel and very frustrating, I loved how the nasonex helped my cough! I now use it 'as i need', usually a single spray in each nostril before bed and paired with a saline spray. When I don't use it my cough starts to become heavier. | F | 20 | spray 1X day | 8/10/2011 | 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 | migraines/allergies. | My son has severe, weather-triggered migraines. We were given Nasonex by a pharmacist in Italy and it seemed to have broken a headache he'd had almost without relief for a month. We've been using it again for the last 11 days (1 squirt per nostril) and, again, it seems to be helping. Is this just a coincidence? He does not have serious nasal blockage or sinusitus. Any similar experiences? Please contact. | M | | 10/28/2004 | 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 day | 10/9/2012 | 3 | allergies | | 7/3/2005 | 3 | Nasal polyps allergies | Severe joint pains which move from place to place, especially fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, hips, knees. Also minor nose bleeds. | Tried stopping Nasonex for 2 weeks, joint pains disappeared after 3 days. Resumed Nasonex last week, joint pains back in full force. | F | 43 | | 10/14/2009 | 2 | rhinitis | I DON'T NEED TO DESCRIBE THE SIDE EFFECTS.5 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE SO! | Call it my cynical English mind,but you visit your doctor for a really annoying,but relatively minor nasal condition,he prescribes for you,and the result is palpitations,paranoia,bleeding nose,depression,insomnia,numbness etc,and for Americans presumably,a nice fat bill.You couldn't make it up,could you? | M | 60 | | 1/11/2010 | 2 | congestion of the sinus | anxiety, hunger, fast heart beat, sleepiness, insomnia, shaky, itchy, nervousness, restlessness | Used Nasonex on and off for years and was not aware that it could be the cause of fast heart rate, shaky/nervosness until I did the reserch to see why I had these symptoms. Was doing fine and used it in the afternon then while sleeping woke up with fast heart beat & anxiety and restlessness. Will go off and see if the side effects go away. Use Nasonex so rarley and to have the above symptoms the same day caused my suspicion. However it does work, but not worth the health risks. | M | 66 | | 11/23/2008 | 2 | my 5yr old for ear infections const | my 5yr old was given nasonex to try by doc while he was on the waiting list to see a nose,ear and throat doc about his snoring,breathing though mouth constenly,constent ear infections....etc.He has been on it for 5 days now and i hav noticed a dramatic change in this persionality,to the point it was worring me so i just thought i would look it up.He has been crying constently,moody,aggressive,tired......my sister works in a chemist and i just happened to mention my sons behaviour to her and she was the one that mentioned to me it could be the nose spray he was on and advised me to stop use and see my doc on monday.so im not giving it to him today and will see if it makes a difference.JUST A LITTLE BIT SCAREY TO SEE YOUR CHILD SO DIFFERENT AND UPSET. | it doesnt say anything about mood changes in the information leaflet in medication box but honestly if you notice any changes in moods or behaviour i would strongly recommend to stop asap.it can happen,ive just seen it with my own eyes and after reading other comments now do not feel alone. | M | 5 | 0.05 1X day | 4/27/2012 |
