| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Mold Allergy | Irritability, insomnia, depression, anxiety, headaches. | The stuff worked great for a few years, with occasional use. Then I moved to the coast and at my Dr.'s direction, started using twice daily, 12 months out of the year. That's when the problem started. | M | 54 | 5 years | 5/12/2008 | 3 | sinus, dizziness | Aching joints, sore kidneys, hard to pee, very tired, tired muscles, , legs are sensitive to touch, back aches, overall discomfort and sore all over body. | I was very dizzy due to the fluid in my ears (sinus blockage)and my Dr. prescribed Nasonex. It worked great, my dizzyness went away after 2 days but the Dr. told me to keep taking it. I am stopping it now, I was feeling very tired all of the time, achy joints, tired muscles, all of the before mentioned side effects, I couldn't figure out what it was until I googled it and saw this website, am stopping this drug immediately. | M | 32 | 5 days | 5/11/2008 | 3 | chronic allergies/ear fluid | anxiety, bloody nose | My six year old son was given this as a last resort after multiple medicines haven't worked for allergies/ear fluid. This little boy has always had excellent behavior. The first morning after receiving a nightly dose of this, he had a meltdown at school so bad, crying hysterically the teacher ordered me to pick him up. He immediatly changed and began crying every day in school ( noone was picking on him) and wanting to come home because he missed me. This is the last month of school and he NEVER acted like this before ever. Almost like a different child. Dr and pharmacist say this med is not sytemically absorbed, so is NOT the cause of the sudden abrupt behavior change. I am stopping it and expect his behavior to be back to NOT sad and anxious anymore. His nose is clear in the morning, but full and clogged by the end of the day. Not worth what he has been going through side effects. Dr refuses to accept that it even MIGHT be this medicine. I am convinced it is. | M | 6 | 7 days | 5/6/2008 | 3 | seasonal allergy | Suicidal thoughts, depression, lethargy, and anger. | Although Nasonex was effective with controlling my seasonal allergies (peak in fall & spring) it caused very nasty side effects. I took my self off it twice just to confirm that it was causing my mood changes, and it was confirmed (becareful to titrate off, because it is a steriod). I threw away my Nasonex and am now taking Zyrtec with decent results. | F | 30 | 2 years | 4/30/2008 | 4 | rhinitis | none | worked quite well for a while..developed a resistance to it though. | F | 25 | 3 years | 4/29/2008 | 5 | allergies to tree pollen | None | This is the first time in 30 years I have not suffered through 6 weeks spring tree pollen. I love this stuff. I will use it again next spring | M | 51 | 45 days | 4/24/2008 | 3 | head pressure, cough, nasal drip | felt jittery, shaky, and very tired | it did help my pressure and cough, but was not comfortable with the "shaky" feeling I was having while using it. i think i will stick to benadryl | F | 41 | 2 days | 4/23/2008 | 3 | Rhinitis | I don't know if this is a side effect but after taking this medication for 2 weeks I started getting severe itching, burning and redness in the eyes. My prescribed eye drops and salve don't seem to help. This only starts in the afternoon but lasts until I go to bed. In the morning it is not bothersome. | I should also say that I take many other medications as I have Myasthenia Gravis disease(ocular version)but those meds have never given me any problems or side effects other than, I suspect, the rhinitis. | M | 67 | 17 days | 4/21/2008 | 2 | sinusitis | severe headache and muscle tension as a result. Dry sinuses that are irritating, restless sleep, everyday stresses seem enhanced. headache encompassing all sinus points is the worse - will cease immediately and begin hopefully to be able to use the neti-pot | F | 52 | 14 days | 4/20/2008 | 3 | Congestion and sinus headaches | I have been taking Nasonex for five weeks, and in retrospect, I'm realizing how negatively it has impacted my life. I have had extreme mood swings, depression, overwhelmed, and crying easily. At first the drug did help with my congestion and headaches, but now I am seeing that it also caused these terrible side effects. After seeing these other comments here, I will also be stopping my use of Nasonex. | I would not recommend using Nasonex. | F | 27 | 5 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 2 | nasal polyps | I've been effected with bad headaches, chest congestion and cough. Not sleeping for more than 2 hours, so very tired. Also I get dizzy with a feeling that my body is moving slower than my mind. | I've used my last spray today!!! | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 1 | Allergy | EXTREME tiredness, feeling like in a fog, disoriented, shaky like I've not eaten, but have and am not hungry. Some nosebleeds, some dryness and itchiness in eyes. So, so tired. My entire body aches, all my joints ache and even heavy pain killers don't make it go away. Feels like my joints are locking up on me. Very painful to move around. | I am stopping this medicine immediately. I was given it by my ear, nose and throat doctor to help with my earaches that he said were from allergies. He prescribed two puffs, each nostril, two times a day. Have been on it one week now and finally determined that I'm not getting the flu or the bug around the office again...it's the medicine! My pharmacist said that it can cause these types of side effects. He was great in helping me determine strange side effects from another medicine that turned out to be very common side effects. If you have ANY doubts, check with a pharmacist and ask him/her for the real scoop on the medicine! Tell the ALL your symptoms and ask if he/she has ever run across these same types of complaints while others were on the drug. You may be suprised as to what you hear! | F | 37 | 7 days | 4/17/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Definitely keeping me awake at night. I'm only sleeping 1 or 2 hours at a time. Last night seemed to reach a peak, after being on the medicine for about 2 weeks. I had this same problem last year when I tried it too. | I really want to find a solution for the insomnia, because the Nasonex definitely helps me feel better otherwise. But sleep is essential! I'm going to stop the medicine for a few days, and then try taking the dose in the morning instead of the prescribed bedtime. | F | 41 | 12 days | 4/16/2008 | 1 | allergies | anxiety!!!!!!joint pain, stomach pain, numbness in arms, hives | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 4/15/2008 | 3 | Allergic Rhinitis | I started taking Nasonex on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday) I felt tight in the chest and my heart was pounding. Although I was suspecting Nasonex to be the cause, I used it today again and then I found this website! I see other people have had the same effects. I'm not going to use it again. I wonder how long it will take for these effects to go away. | It did help with the stuffy nose. | F | 46 | 3 days | 4/14/2008 | 2 | I was having cough attacks and due to my sinus I was prescribed Nasonex, and it didn’t go well for me. I’m generally a pretty healthy person, and since taking it I have felt extremely tired, some anxiety, heart palpitations and headaches. I rather take my chances with the cough and sinus, after reading all these reviews plus my own experience, I’m stopping right now. | F | 45 | 5 days | 4/11/2008 | 1 | sinus infections from allergies | At first the Nasonex helped but after a few weeks became ill, lethargic and unable to do normal activity. Have been doing a nasal wash every day for 8 months now. After 5 rounds of antibiotics went to ENT for chemical cauterization 3 times. Extreme depression, anger, raging, insomnia worsened. Doctors and pharmacist told me these symptoms were not possible with Nasonex. Took myself off Nasonex and after 1 week the depression is lifting, the anger and raging are also subsiding. I have been treated before for depression but, I have never experienced the saddness, anger and raging that I have in this past 7 months of being on this medication. I am now trying Nasacort AQ and for the first time in that 8 months my face is pink where my sinuses are. I will be very attentive to how this medication works on me. | F | 61 | 7 months | 4/11/2008 | 3 | endoscopic sinus surgery | loss of taste, metallic taste, dizziness/vertigo | I had endoscopic sinus surgery two years ago. As a follow-up, the surgeon recommended Nasonex, supposedly to deter the polyps from returning. He also prescribed Astelin for seasonal allergies, which I take very infrequently. I have noticed an increasing loss of taste (and I love to cook!), smell and an unpleasant metallic taste. Has anyone else noticed this? | F | 47 | 2 years | 4/9/2008 | 1 | seasonal allergies | aggression, nightmares, mood changes, unusual thoughts | Nasonex was prescribed for my 7 year old daughter. It worked great from the first night. After 5 days we discontinued it because she changed! She had mood changes, aggression, nightmares, difficulty in school for the first time ever, and had unusual thoughts. Such as; she came to me and said she had an overwhelming desire to touch the hot stove and then burst into tears. It took almost 2 weeks to have our daughter back to her normal pleasant self! This is a corticosteroid and I do not think any child should take this! | F | 7 | 5 days | 4/9/2008 | 2 | sinus problems | This is my second try on Nasonex and my last. Both times I find my self becoming progressively more irritable and depressed after about a week on this med. First try I thought I was just more angry than usual ( I am normally pretty even tempered). you can bet this is my last spray! | F | 61 | 6 days | 4/8/2008 |
