| 1 | decade long sinus drip | first day, light relief by the end of that first day, 'bounce back' of original symptoms only worse. second day, sinus swelled shut and I am full of flem not only in the back of my throat, which is now sore, but not the front, where the spray hit. | i am very disappointed. i really wanted this spray to work. the sinus drip is more like a running faucet that is starting to effect my lungs. there most be more to try than antibiotics which didn't work, and this stuff.... | F | 50 | 2 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | Allergies, nasal congestion | For the last two months, I have been having rapid heart palpitations. It has scared me because heart disease runs in my family although I am a very healthy person. I even have an appointment next week to see about it. I realized last night that they started when I began using Nasonex. Thank God I ran across this website. I will never use this medicine again!! | I would never recommend this drug to anyone. It helped my sinuses; but the side effects were far worse. | F | 50 | | 2/28/2008 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | Nasonex changed the texture of the inside of my nasal passages. Best I can describe it - it felt like the rubbery skin of a Dolphin... or when I'd blow my nose the sides of my nostrils felt like basketballs rubbing together. | I stopped taking Nasonex as soon as I noticed these symptoms. It took nearly two years for my nasal passages to return to normal. Worst of all, the drug was completely ineffective in treating my symptons. You wonder how stuff like this gets FDA approval. | M | 50 | 1 weeks standard 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 1 | Allergies | DON'T USE NASONEX IT GAVE ME CATARACTS. NO HISTORY OF THEM IN MY FAMILY. MY EYE DR. SAID IT WAS FROM USING NASONEX FOR SEVERAL YEARS. | DR'S SEEM TO FORGET TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SIDE EFFECT. CATARACT SURGERY IS COSTLY. | F | 50 | 2X day | 4/23/2012 | 1 | sinus congestion | intense bout of double vision. | i should have known better than to take a steroid but my doctor who is great assured me there would be no side effects... started taking nasonex because of stuffy sinuses and thick post nasal drip. helped a lot at first. then one day out of the blue i just couldn't see "straight." i had intense double vision. it was terrifying, i thought i had a mini stroke. it lasted about a minute but seemed like hours. i somehow kept myself calm, reassured myself it would go away and eventually it did. i've had no other symptoms of TIA with speech, balance, weakness, etc. could it have been the nasonex? i'd rather live with stuffy head than ever have that happen again. got a neti pot and doing saline irrigation to flush allergens out. no more steroids | F | 50 | 7 days 30 2X day | 4/29/2011 | 1 | allergies/nasal drip | extreme sleeplessness for weeks, ever since i started it | two nights off the meds -- both nights have slept well | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 4/12/2007 | 5 | sinusitis | Lately, I've been plagued by a mysterious persistent burning wood or smoky smell. It causes a tightening or heaviness in the chest and occasional coughing. I'm wondering if these can be side effects. Has anyone else had a similar experience? | The medication cured my sinusitis completely. I expect the pressure in my ears to eventually go away. | F | 49 | 4 months | 3/11/2007 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis | Mild headache, but it cured the allergic rhinitis and I am sleeping through the night for the first time in 3 months, can breathe through my nose and very happy with the drug so far. In the last 3 months I tried everything (nasal irrigation, sudafed, otrivin etc) and this was a last resort as I was concerned about the reported side effects. I am very healthy and fit otherwise. | F | 49 | 14 days 50 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 5 | nasal polyps | sore throat, hoarsness, funny taste in mouth, many people here I see are saying about heart palpultations and other side affects, goodness you should try some of the Asthma meds and Steroid tablets to reduce polyps they are ten times worse. | fantastic, shrinks polyps in a few days, have suffered badly for many years until finding Nasonex, before Nasonex I was losing sleep due to breathing through mouth, could not talk to people due to fully blocked nose, loss of apetite before Nasonex, now I can eat food again, I had not sense of smell after 3 nasal polyp removal over the years, maybe I will smell food again who knows. | M | 49 | 3 days | 1/5/2008 | 5 | chronic allergic rhinitis | Initially a dry nose and a little blood but only in the first month. If I breath in too much I can taste it a bit in my throat. Small price to pay for the relief it gives. | After 3 & 1/2 years I was allergy tested and no reaction to the 40 main culprits. But still I was so bad it would lay me up in bed and take a day to get over after a bad attack and in-between bad bouts my nose was constantly blocked and/or runny 24 hrs a day. I would have to lay on my back so that it could run down my throat as I couldn't blow my nose often enough to keep up. Like having a severe constant head cold for over 3 years. Was continually taking allergy tabs and decongestant sprays to make me feel half normal even though the sprays aren't good for the nasal passages and the tablets never made a major difference. The doctor prescribed Nasonex to try and it took affect after a few days. I BEGAN TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. No more bloodshot eyes or watery noses or waking up at night unable to breath. It is the best thing I have tried. No drowsiness, sleep like a baby, have a slow and steady heart beat, my taste and smell is fine. I would prefer to know why I am so allergic but would need much more intensive testing. It really did help. From what I can read it seems to work best with allergy suffers. The side effects mentioned here sounds scary but I have not had a one and am very happy with how it has managed to help me. I still occasionally get blocked and still use a nasal decongestant but that is usually if I drop my doses. | F | 49 | 8 months | 1/15/2010 | 4 | Nasal Polyps | Heart Palpitation, Flutter, Anxiety, Nose dryness (always bleeding when blowing my nose), lost good part of sense of smell, difficulty sleeping....and the list goes on. | I cannot say for sure if my symptoms are related to Nasonex or not. I consulted with my Cardio, Electro Physiologist, Family Doctor along with my ENT. All are in agreement that Nasonex has nothing to do with my palpitations. Hmmmmm…after reading this site, I cannot help but wandering if…you know...can they all be wrong? Therefore, I will be stopping this medicine for a month and replace it with a saline solution for the dryness. I have lived for years in the past with out Nasonex so it won’t be difficult to stop it. I went through an Ablation procedure for the Flutter (no fun in case anyone is wondering) and I am still on strong Beta Blocker treatments on a daily basis...for THE REST OF MY LIFE. Because I have been left so long with a heart flutter (untreated) masked with the highest possible dose of Beta Blocker (240 mg twice a day) for 3 years. I have developed Fibrillation which is an inevitable sequel of Tachycardia (Flutter) which is why I still have to take those Beta Blockers (Sotalol). If stopping Nasonex do in deed settle my arrhythmias, ….there is going to be some pay back from somebody somewhere. 8( Time will tell …I will keep you posted…more to follow. | M | 49 | 7 years 2 spays 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 4 | Sinusitus | Large cyst on my right kidney. Irritability. Decreased sex drive. | It does a great job clearing my sinus. I've developed a large cyst on my right kidney - discovered by accident. Dr. says I'm too young for such a large cyst. It does not appear to be cancer according to CT scan. More testing is needed. But, based on age, I've a 40-50% chance of cancer. Nasonex is the only medication I take. | M | 49 | 9 months | 8/6/2006 | 2 | rhinitis | After taking Nasonex for three weeks, I came down with shingles on my face. Unfortunately, the shingles were misdiagnosed as poison ivy, so I was given steroids, which just made the condition worse. Didn't get the antiviral meds for a week. | F | 49 | 21 days | 12/30/2006 | 2 | Allergy | Anxiety, heart pulpitation, chest tightness | I'm off Nasonex for 4 weeks but still have chest tightness. I wonder how long does it take to get rid of the simptoms? | M | 49 | 60 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Dry cough, trouble swallowing, headache, terrible taste in mouth, light headed | I was prescribed Nasonex about a week ago and took my last dose this morning. The relief of stuffiness in my nose is not worth these side effects. I have had a headache for the past three days, my chest feels heavy, I have a dry cought and the worst side effect is this terrible taste in my mouth all the time. | M | 49 | 7 days | 5/7/2009 | 1 | swelling and fluid in ears | developed extreme anxiety and fear of heights, totally freaked out while driving and pulled over and called two friends to rescue me. pressure in my head, dizziness, feel like i'm in a cloud, can't think clearly, tightness in my chest, feeling like it's hard to breathe. fear and anxiety while driving now is something i have never had before. i have been on the product for 6 weeks now and stopped taking it yesterday, will comment again on how long it took to recover from side effects. | i took nasonex years ago and it worked great. but, now it seems to have a very negative impact on my central nervous system. | F | 49 | 6 weeks | 2/22/2009 | 1 | Chronic allergies (all year) | Total Loss of smell and accompanying loss of taste | After taking it for 3 years, I had all the other symptoms (bleeding nose, dryness, etc) but it cured my allergies. Now, in the last month, complete loss of smell which is DRAMATIC! Nobody can tell if it will come back. Anyone knows? | M | 49 | 3 years | 11/21/2008 | 1 | nasal congestion | major soar throat!!! It hurts so bad I can't sleep. I went out twice in the middle of the night to get stuff from the drug store. My situation may have been exaggerated by acid reflux prior to taking Nasonex. Also had some muscle pains in bicep's, bad smell and weird taste in my mouth. | M | 49 | 8 days | 11/6/2008 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | Hi i used this for years on and off no real problems except slight loss of taste and smell. This time it unclogged the tube but now i have a viral infection of the mouth my eyes were blurry and i was depressed as well as exausted. Have been off for a week and i already feel better mentaly but i still have the mouth sores.Im now on an anti viral med. My vision is improving and im not as tired as i was. I know it was the nasonex. I will never use again. | Bad stuff I would rather suffer. | M | 49 | 9 months | 1/24/2010 | 1 | allergies | Within a couple of hours of spraying 1 spray in each nostril, I started feeling severe flu like symptoms. Chills, fever, nausea. I went to bed at 10pm and suffered with insomnia, when I finally did get to sleep I was having vivid recurring nightmare, like on a constant loop..and a sense of dread, with the thoughts that I was going to die. | I will not be taking this product again. There is something serioiusly wrong with it. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 4/5/2013 |
