 1  Allergies Nose bleeds, nasal blockages, migraines, extreme anxiety, racing thoughts, rapid pulse, high blood pressure, eye sensations, panic attacks, weight gain, sebhorreic dermatitis, stretch marks. Everyone told me it wasn't the nasonex. Everyone said it was all in my head. Finally I trusted my intuition and weened myself off. I experienced a 2 week withdrawal. After getting off the rash went away, the bloody nose stopped and I lost a whopping 60 pounds in 1 month!! This drug is the devil. Today my allergy issues are worse and I have panic disorder because of this medication. Please stay away. OTC meds are much safer M 23 1 years

 1  seasonal allergies heart palpitations, full blown anxiety disorder, nasal sores that wouldn't heal, weight gain (35 lbs over time), THINNING OF BONES to the point of osteopenia, GLAUCOMA I used to be a size 8/10 before being prescribed this junk. It worked for my allergies, but it caused 10 years of nonsense. Who knew? Drs would tell me it didn't cause any side effects because it" wasn't absorbed into the blood stream." Seasonally I would outgrow all my clothes and feel like a cow, and after stopping Nasonex Iwould start to slim down again. Then another allergy flare-up would occur and I would start the Nasonex again, and this yo-yoing has been going on for 10 years now. I trusted drs too much. One day it finally occurred to me that this stuff happened seasonally. Sorry, just slow to realize it. Don't use this stuff!!!! It has taken a month to drop a dress size, and will probably take a few more months to drop the rest of the weight and bloat. Nose sores are healing, and bloody nose is going away. I'm using Nasalcrom, with great results. Dr's didn't know why my bones were thinning and why I should be developing glaucoma at my age. One day it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Shortly after starting this med, I had full blown anxiety syndrome for which I had to seek treatment. Never made the connection until very recently. Keep having thinning of the bones reports. Never made the connection until now. Eye spasms in one eye. Since stopping Nasonex, I was really tired at first and had alot of joint pain. Now that is going away, and I am taking Rx grade vitamins and Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Feeling and looking better. I'm sad for all the lost years to th F 55 10 years

 1  environmental allergies Chronic right-sided throat pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, bloody nose - at least once a week blood would pour out and not stop for a good 5 minutes It worked to relieve my chronic sinus congestion, but just now figured out the Nasonex was causing the right-sided throat pain. After many scans and tests by ENTs, who didn't find anything wrong, I decided to discontinue the Nasonex and see if that made a difference. A week later, the throat pain is much better. I also hadn't attributed the Nasonex to the sleeplessness, but since discontinuing it I am sleeping better, not waking up as much, and feel more rested in the morning. Now my sinuses are congested again, blood every time I blow my nose, and a little bit of sinus pain. Am hoping it gets better with sinus rinses. I also get immunotherapy injections once a week, so eventually that will help my chronic allergies. F 45 3 years

 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

 2  allergies/sinusitis Deep head pain between the eyes. Confusion. Tremors. Diminished sense of smell and taste. Tingling sensations of upper back. Fatigue. It seemed like everything had a musty smell, though no one else could smell it. This was begun at the first symptoms of sinus problems to try to stave off a sinus infection. This resulted in having full-blown sinus pain. I had no nasal drainage and was able to breathe through my nose. I was placed on an antibiotic, amoxicillin 875 mg, I believe. First round did not get rid of my sinus infection, so the Rx was refilled. I continued to feel so awful generally on top of the other specific symptoms. It finally occurred to me to look up the side effects of Nasonex since I realized that I had become worse after beginning it. Eureka. I did not take it yesterday or today. My thinking is much better today. My sinuses still seem to be messed up deep in my upper forehead. I was so bad that I thought I must surely have a brain tumor or cancer of the sinuses and, who knows, maybe I do! All I know is that I have stopped the Nasonex and I feel better today than I have in months, even though I still have a ways to go in feeling 100% better. This stuff used to work for me, although I noticed the last time I was on it that I developed a dry cough, so I stopped it then. This time, no dry cough -- side effects were much much worse this time! Today I caught a whiff of an aroma, so there is hope. F 58 3 months

 3  Nasal Congestion and Runny Nose Debilitating migraine-like headaches, heart palpitations, tightness in chest, development of anxiety disorder (not solely this), nasal dryness/blood in nasal passages, swelling in body This class of medications are not worth taking if you can find something else that works; several times, I quit this medication and started again, chalking the side effects up to the placebo effect but sure enough, I eventually start feeling terrible and wonder what is causing me to feel so bad and realize that it's the nasal spray.

 3  Chronic sinus inflammation Sometimes I stop using for 1 or 2 months to see what happens when I start again. This is it: Headache, dizzyness, insomnia, nosebleed, dry nose, pain in sinuses, nausea, vomiting. After long term I noticed immune deficiency. No matter how healthy I eat and live I would get herpes outbreaks all the time, cheilitis, weird sores in and outside mouth and worst of all painful oral thrush. Canker sores, weird taste/smell, skin rashes all over the body, My inflammation comes and goes. All doctors deny that the side effects are from Nasonex. They said it would have NO side effects at all. How the hell would you expect that from steroids? All drugs have side effects. I will now stop using Nasonex, I recommend SinuSoothe (Natural) F 22 12 months

 1  Pain & fullness in one side of face 24hrs after using nasonex for first time I had severe pain in several leg veins which also bulged up black/purple which were very painful. Days later eye blood vessel burst for no reason & eye was red for weeks then purple bruise appeared on earlobe all by itself..... Headaches too . It took me a while to link vascular issues to nasonex and haven't used it since. It's in the bin where it belongs. How can a drug company sell a product that can affect the vascular system adversely?
