| 2 | allergies | I experienced terrible pressure in my head and ears, and was not noticing improvement of symptoms. | F | 47 | 8 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 2 | sinus inflamation | This worked great for my sinus issues, unfortunatly after about a month I began developing side effects, that I just now realize after reading the posts here, is caused by Nasonex. I have feelings of anger (I'm a laid back guy), have numbness in my left thumb, extreme gas and diarrhea, wild dreams. I will no longer take this medication. | M | 47 | 6 weeks 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 2 | Fluid behind the left ear | Nausea - Awake all night | I was very dissapointed with Nasonex. I went to the doctor and explained about the noises in the ear, about 2 months now, it has also affected my sleep. He prescribed Nasonex and felt good to start with and cleared my nose but could not get to sleep and was experience slight cramp in my legs. After looking at the comments on this sight it was a great help and will not take it again, it is going in the bin, do not want to experience another night like last night. Will suffer the noises in my head and the blocked sinuses. !!! | F | 47 | 1 days One spray 1X day | 3/11/2011 | 2 | allergies | Loss of sense of taste and smell | After approximately 2 weeks on Nasonex,(2 sprays in each nostril, twice a day) my nasal breathing became clearer, but I noticed I could not taste or smell. I had also been on an Advair inhaler which I have used previously with no problem. I mentioned this to the Doctor, he said keep taking the Nasonex as it would help this. I thought not, so tossed it in the garbage. That was 3 weeks ago, and still no taste or smell. | F | 47 | 3 weeks | 1/4/2007 | 1 | Rhinitis | Used for several years with no problem. During the past 2 years however I have been developing viral infections in my nose that are very painful. Wasn't sure at first they were caused by Nasonex, but am now. I would stop using it and the infections would eventually go away, but when I started using it again they would return almost immediately. | Highly effective in controling my rhinitis symptoms. | M | 47 | 10 years | 11/28/2006 | 1 | sinus congestion allergies | Eye pain, ear pain, extreme intense headaches. anxiety, palpitations and tight chest. Metallic burning sensations in lips and mouth. Sore throat. | I have been on Nasonex on and off, mostly in the summer for sinus related issues and allergies for two years. First and foremost, it works and it works fast. However, after a while, I started noting symptoms I was having as I could not figure out what was wrong me. It wasn't until very recently, I had started to use nasonex again and started having palpitations, chest and eye pain and watering. I tracked my headaches - These headaches were intense, almost a burning within my forehead, all day long, every day - starting shortly after using the nasonex. I tracked everything. I started having anxiety where my hands would tremble minutes after I used the nasonex. and my body felt like it wanted to jump out of its skin with anticipatory anxiety.One morning, after using the spray before bed the night before, I awoke early in the morning thinking I was having a heart attack or an aneryism because my head was pounding and my heart racing. I am on day two of not using this product and I am stunned after 48 hours, my headache is gone although ear pain and anxiety/shakiness remain to which I am hoping will eventually dissipate. Anyone with sensitivities to drugs or predisposed with panic/anxiety disorder, be very careful. This product has scared me enough to stop using it and suffer with my sinus issues. | F | 47 | 24 days 2X day | 8/20/2013 | 1 | to keep ear passages free | I don't know if anyone else had this experience, but I actually lost the central vision in my left eye after taking Nasonex for 1 month.I had day surgery to remove my adnoids after experiencing 2 years of ear touble in my left ear. The ENT doctor put me on Nasonex to help keep my ear canal passages free . And then one day I noticed I couldn't really see well out of my left eye, I have agood freind that is an optometrist and he saw me right away. He sent me to a retnal specialist, who diagnosed me with central vision loss due to taking Nasonex, I was told to immediatly stop taking Nasonex. My ENT doctor had never heard of such a thing and had the specialist send him info on this. He thought the fluid that built up behind my left eye would probably absorb back into the body and go away on its own. But, I have had 3 appointments so far with the retnal specialist and it has not gotten any better, no worse, no better. I go again in 5 weeks and if it is not better he will do laser surgery. | M | 47 | 30 days | 3/2/2007 | 1 | Sinus headaches | Headaches, Vertigo previous post on 17/11 | This drug does work wonderfully initially but I never had bad side effects until 4 months into taking it. I have now been off it for 6 days and are feeling better already. The head fullness has gone and the Vertigo is only happening when I am resting and not near as bad. I dont feel like my BP is elevated as previously. I have been taking Magnesium so I hope that is helping. Im not as anxious as I was a week ago. Dont be scared to go off it you will feel better. I think a score of 2.2 definitely warrants further investigations. | F | 47 | 6 months 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 1 | Sinus headaches | Headaches 2 to 3 times a week. Extreme vertigo. Feel like my head is going to explode. Neck pain. Eye pain. Ringing in the ears. slight constant pain in the ears. Vivid dreams. Insomnia. High blood pressure. Face flushed. | Like other people it initially worked well. But I was gobsmacked when I got on this site and there are so many other people with the same symptons. I am scared to take it now. I asked my doctor how long I could take it and he said forever if needed. 2 months ago I went back to him for Vertigo and he gave me Sert which fixed the severity of the dizziness but I still get it on a smaller scale. The thing is he gave me another script for Nasonex without telling me it was probably the Nasonex causing it in the first place. I dont want to take it again but lots of people have said dont go cold turkey. I have been tempted to take myself to hospital a couple of times. Worried.. | F | 47 | 6 months 2X day | 11/17/2010 | 1 | allergies/sinuses | headaches/I become aggressive/stoped using when between the bridge of nose and eye veins broke leaving my right looing like someone had hit me. Also lost weight as food tasted so bad. | Not for me I am using nasel strips at night and this helps alot would not touch nasonex no matter what. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X day | 8/24/2010 Patient History | 1 | seasonal rhinitus | severe anxiety , jitters , unreality , on edge | i do suffer from anxiety disorder , a couple of years ago i was prescribed this for hayfever,one evening after taking this for a few days i came over all weird , anxious ,like something bad was going to happen things seemed really bright, i was trembly and jittery - at the time i put it down to a multivit with guarana in it , but as a precaution stopped taking nasonex and a high dose vit b supplement , i did some research and found both b vitamin in high dose and guarana are stimulants and thought that was that -- last week was prescribed nasonex again (having forgot what happened when i had taken it a couple of years ago ) took first doe on the evening and within an hour was uptight and on edge , had rubbish sleep , took one spray in each nostril yesterday 4/sept 14 and an hour later was really on edge and anxious , felt trembly and tearfull , , i do have anxiety but its never as bad as this -- i then recalled feeling the same a couple of years ago and searched google and found this site . i wont use it again and would recommend caution , even without anxiety disorder this sems a trigger for it. | M | 47 | 2 days as label 1X day | 9/5/2014 | 1 | minor sinus infection | headaches, puffy eyes, felt nautious, tired. MOST IMPORTANTLY I LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL. I TOOK NASONEX FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THESE SYMPTOMS WERE CAUSED BY THE NASONEX. I WAS RECOVERING FROM THE INFECTION AND WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE NASONEX I WOULD FEEL ALOT WORSE. STOPED TAKING NASONEX RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, STILL HAVE VERY LITTLE SENSE OF SMELL AND MY TASTE IS PARTIALLY EFFECTED. | NOT WORTH THE POSSIBLE PERMANENT LIFE ALTERING SIDE EFFECTS, THE MOST SHOCKING, ALTHOUGH NOT SURPRISING, IS THAT GOVERNMENTS ALLOW PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO MARKET CRAP LIKE THIS REGARDLESS OF SIDE EFFECTS, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR INTENTIONAL LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PRODUCT. | M | 47 | 3 days | 9/22/2009 | 1 | sinus | Heart Palpitations, very bad cough,couldn't breath,headaches, dizzy spells, thought I had bronchitis. | Never take this I have had 4 wks of wondering what the hell is wrong with me when I looked up side affects and thank goodsness been off for 3 days and feel a hell alot better already. thought I was living with bronchitis most of the time with my very tight and sore chest. thanks guys- Never give this to your children. | F | 47 | 4 weeks | 9/27/2009 | 1 | fluid in inner ear | Hypersensitiviies, jittery, irritable, out of sorts, verge of panic attack, ringing ears | I will definitely stop using this medicine after having these weird sensations/feelings the last two days. I will just wait and see if the fluid in the inner ear disappears on its own. This medicine is not right for me. | F | 47 | 2 days 2 sprays 2X day | 3/29/2013 | 5 | sinus congestion headaches | I have had low blood pressure all of my life; until I have been on nasonex. Now my blood pressure is in the danger zone! 154/104. A nurse friend of mine realized the connection to nasonex for me. I am stopping it immediately and calling the doctors in the morning. | F | 46 | 8 months | 7/1/2009 | 5 | allergies, chronic stuffiness | None until I caught a cold at school. Then I was worried about getting a sinus infection because of the steroids, so I stayed off it for a few days and took Sudafed and then went back on it after the cold was gone. | I love this product. It does not make me sleepy, and my husband said I do not snore as much as I used to. I think it is great and do not understand the problems that people list here. Maybe they need to read the insert and make sure they are using it properly, and remember to lay off any steroid while fighting an infection. | F | 46 | 4 months | 6/10/2007 | 4 | Hay fever | Slightly blurred vision | Seems to work well but I've only taken it for a week. If the vision problem doesn't improve, I may stop taking it. It's also expensive. | M | 46 | 1 weeks | 5/3/2006 | 4 | congestion | After affects - can't get off it! When I stop taking it, I am so much more congested that I have to go back on it just to breathe. | F | 46 | 4 months | 3/12/2004 | 4 | mold and dog fur allergies | None I noticed | I can breathe easily through my nose! I did NOT get a sinus infection in the Fall! I did have to get used to the contents of my nasal passages draining out down my throat though(yuk) but its better they drain then stay in there. | F | 46 | 2 years | 8/1/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Photosensitivity. My eyes hurt if I go outside during the day without sunglasses for even a few seconds | M | 46 | 8 days | 8/8/2007 |
