 3  Rhinitis I feel like the Duracell Bunny! Hyperactive. Blocked nose, blood in nasal mucus. I was prescribed one bottle of Nasonex a year ago which helped clear up excess mucous, so, when symptoms returned, the consultant suggested another prescription - I agreed. What I'd forgotten about was the side effects I'd had before, mainly hyperactivity. I don't take any other medication so the difference was remarkable. People have also commented on my mood so I'm sure it's affecting that simply because they have commented - grumpy is the word they use. All of which is out of character. I googled the hyperactivity thing with the drug and landed here. We can't all be wrong. But as I have now cleaned my fridge (at 6 am), partied like a teenager and am still going...I might just ask for a repeat prescription!! F 48 1 months

 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

 1  Sinus congestion This is absolutely horrible. I have been having dizziness, nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, for a whole now. Started only using Nasonex at night bc I felt so dizzy and sick during the day, just started reading these reviews bc I can't sleep due to taking nasonex (shocker) I called Walgreens and asked the pharmacist about it and basically he said the meds are not causing anxiety or any of these symptoms WTF... But after reading this I know this is exactly my problem. It really pisses me off that drs, pharmacists, etc are discounting patient symptoms especially when there are this many people suffering from an obviously problematic drug. It may work for some but this is not good for everyone. Nobody wants to feel like they are going crazy. F 24 10 days

 2  Allergies It work well for my allergies BUT I got bronchitis after a cold for years. I could not figure it out until I did some research. I feel like I am developing asthma too. Physicians should warn you of this conditions if they see you getting bronchitis at least 1-2 year when taking Nasonex!! It is miserable to get bronchitis for 3-4 weeks once or 2x a year! That is 1-2 months of my life wasted!! I am going to look for natural alternatives or acupuncture instead of this nasty steroid! F 48 6 years

 1  Sinusitis Woke up around 2:30am with a lower lip the size of a HOT DOG and a super rapid heart rate. Eight hours later and it's still about 20% swollen. Terrible time sleeping and really CRAZY anxiety over the past couple days. I actually thought I was starting to lose my mind. Super irritable as well. I have never suffered any serious side effects to medication before so it took me a couple days to figure out that Nasonex was the culprit. This stuff is HARDCORE! I'd rather deal with the sinusitis. NO BUENO! M 31 7 days

 3  Chronic Sinusuits / Allergies This stuff worked wonders on my terrible allergies and unblocked my nose when nothing else would... BUT, it's been 2 weeks and I am feeling the same type of side effects I was when I was on Prednisone. I have become so moody and quick to snap, anxious, and my heart rate is up. I had a dose of 2 squirts yesterday and felt so hyper and aggressive, I swear I am not normally like this. And am I crazy, but is my face breaking out more because of this too? I hope reducing the dosage will help reduce these awful side effects, because it sure is nice to be able to breathe. F 41 2 weeks

 1  Allergies I would NOT recommend this product to anyone EVER. I noticed after a couple days of taking Nasonex I had extreme anxiety, trouble breathing, insomnia and weight loss. I had really bad mood swings, almost felt bipolar. I felt I couldnt control my thoughts and I was completely restless. I quit taking it and noticed all the symptoms went away. I asked my dad if nasal sprays could cause insomnia and after reading all these negative reviews I'm Glad I'm not the only one who experienced these negative effects because i was worried I was going crazy. I will not use this again. F 25 10 days

 1  nasal allergies, post nasal drip My 8 year old son, who is usually easy going was an absolute nightmare on this medication. He had aggressive outbursts where he would scream and cry uncontrollably, throw things, kick walls, etc. I finally made the connection that his unbearable behavior had begun about 2 weeks earlier when he started the nasonex. As soon as I took him off it he was fine. I do not recommend this medication to children especially those that are sensitive to side effects. Will never use this medication again. M 8 2 weeks

 3  Allergies/Clogged Eustachian Tubes Anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia I don't notice any benefits from the nasonex and have had quite a number of negative side effects. I can't say for certain that they are related, but I will stop using the nasonex and see if it goes away. My doctor claims there is no way my symptoms are from the med, but after reading others stories here, I have to question him. F 28 60 days

 5  Severe allergies/sinusitis I honestly don't think I had any side effects at all from Nasonex. It kept my sinuses completely clear most of the time, which was a God-send for me. I took myself off of the drug simply because I started Menopause and thought it might be contributing to the nightsweats I was getting. Now I know that it wasn't at all. I am, again, having horrible allergy symptoms and am getting back on it. I think Nasonex is a great drug (for me at least)! F 54 2 years

 1  Sinus allergies, polyps First day of using Nasonex, my daughter had very bad nightmares, she was up and crying all night. This is very unusual for her. She has felt extremely nauseous and dizzy for no reason. Very irritable, moody and bad tempered. I called her doctor and told me to stop the drug immediately. She took it last year for a couple of weeks with no effects, but this time it was awful. I'll never give it to her again. I've read it can damage her vision permanently. I'll try something else.
