| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | sinus allergies | Extreme headaches and shooting muscle pains in neck and throat area | I tried taking half dosage twice a day, with at least 3 hours between half dosages. It may have decreased the effectiveness on my sinus congestion but the extreme headaches and muscle pains decreased in intensity and eventually became minor. If I returned to full dosage, the headaches and muscle pains came back full strength. I checked with my doctor and he felt this was an acceptable solution. | F | 46 | 1 months | 12/6/2006 | 3 | To assist in breathing/allergies | It took about 3 weeks to figure out that I was now having severe headaches, nasal pain, coughing, itching, blurred vision and such that I was not having before. I only went online to to search for side effects as I suspected the headaches, and found out all the other common ones I'd have never thought related were listed as common!! And I'm not a whiner!! | If it works without side effects it seems awesome, but if you have conflicts, run away.. | M | 46 | 21 days | 7/29/2009 | 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 | Post op Sinusitis / Allergies | Was advised by doctor to take Nasonex 2 x morning and night to assist in potential rebound effect from decongestant and by specialist to take it every night to avoid allergic reactions. It was effective in easing the symptoms however the side effects included serious left shoulder and chest aches, broken sleep and as a result anxiety. Had used it several times for less than a week with symptoms building up but five days ago after ten days use was the end of it for me. Stopped using it and as previously occurred aches are slowly decreasing but not yet completely gone. Reported to both doctor and specialist and was told there are no side effects from Nasonex. | M | 46 | 10 days | 3/12/2009 | 2 | sinusitis | Extreme icheness in my nose after inhaling it. A panic attack that was so severe that I almost called 911. Emotional, angry, crying, extreme fatigue. | I am willing to try anything once yet this medication sent me to the internet to look up side efects and this is what I found. I am gong to stop taking it as of now and see how I feel in a few days. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 2 | Nasal polyps postnasal drip | Stomach ache. Really tired headache reduced appetite dry mouth aching legs feeling sick stuffy nose | This isn't good stuff at all | F | 46 | 4 weeks 2X day | 1/4/2023 | 2 | Seasonal allergies | Bloating and weight gain, very sore throat, blurry vision, fatigue and tiredness, sore fluid-filled ears. | Had no idea about the side affects and am getting very frustrated. Decided to Google Nasonex and see if it had any side affects that aren't listed in its brochure. I'm disappointed that a company can get by without listing what seems to be common problems. Will stop taking immediately. | F | 46 | 14 days | 5/6/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Eye twitching, increased pressure in left eye, anxiety, pounding heart, dizziness, constant dripping nose, irritated eyes and throat, ringing in ears. | After reading all of these comments I am thankful that I believe I have found out what has been wrong with me!I just had an eye doc appointment yesterday to find out that I have increased pressure behind my left eye.Doing research on Glaucoma led me to the warning that long-term use of Nasonex can cause this disease.What a shock!I have suffered from panic attacks for years and my heart always seems to be pounding harder than it should.Could this be a cause?After reading everyone's side effects, I am convinced it is.I am weaning myself off.Thanks to the person who expressed caution in weaning off.I know that when I ran out of a bottle in the past, my headaches were terrible and am concerned about discontinuing. | F | 46 | 6 years | 4/17/2007 | 1 | Severe allergies | Severe vertigo and weakness. I could no longer function The room was spinning around me, I had to hang on to walls not to fall... + anxiety | My allergies did subside but I was no longer able to move due to the vertigo and weakness | M | 46 | 1 days 30 1X day | 9/9/2012 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | I experience major anxiety while on this medication. Eventually had an anxiety attack that sent me to the hospital. After discontinuing Nasonex the anxiety has diminished more and more each day. It is AMAZING that no official Nasonex literature talks about the anxiety this drug induces. | I would NEVER recommend this drug to anyone! | M | 46 | 6 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | Polyp | Massive panic attack - dry throat | I know what panic attacks are - because i have suffered from attack because of a depression a couple of years ago - and was treated for it. I have not ever experienced that severe form of attack, ever, as I did after using nasonex for only 2 days. I knew i had to get of the drug again and stopped using it the next day. I haven't had any attacks since, and now have to find an alternative - but who to ask? my MD will probably not tell me, what I ought not use - I don't trust them in matter of perscriptions - is it the best drug or is it the drug perscribed beacause they are paid well to perscribe it.....call me paranoid! | F | 46 | 3 days 50 mg 2X day | 5/14/2011 | 1 | Allergies | For the past two days, I was plagued with a killer migraine-like headache. Once I started looking at this site, I realized that the blurry vision, nausea, and sleeplessness I've been experiencing over the past few days are also probably due to the Nasonex. | I'm really alarmed and disappointed! When the Nasonex initially seemed to be clearing up my allergies, I was very hopeful that it was going to be a good solution for me. But the migraine headache it gave me was completely debilitating. Thought I was going to collapse in the drug store while I was trying to buy migraine medicine! Watch out for this drug!! It's evil! | F | 46 | 7 days 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 1 | sinus congestion | Panic. Anxiety. Insomnia. Diareha. Depression. Feeling very strange. Loss appetite. Fidgety. Thought i was going mad. Did relieve congestion somewhat but side affects horrible. Not worth it i will never ever use it again! | M | 46 | 6 days 30 mg | 11/26/2014 | 1 | Head congestion,stuffiness,cough | Insomnia almost 2 days, major headache ,dizziness,eyes tearing,spaced out | I guess everyone's different my wife takes it when need be for sinus infections with no complaints but she can't stay asleep. I'm not going to take it any longer and wouldn't recommend to. | M | 46 | 5 days 50 1X day | 1/9/2015 | 1 | vasomotor rhinitis | Nasonex, one squirt per nostril, pm: woke up with viscious headache and exhausted/tired/sleepy all day. This continued for three days straight before I figured out that it was the Nasonex. I figured out it might be the Nasonex. | Most people seem to complain about insomnia but it was the sudden, extreme headaches that clued me in. I did have some pretty vivid dreams so maybe Nasonex disrupts the sleep cycle in more ways than the ability to fall asleep/stay asleep. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/1/2010 | 1 | Sinuitis | Caused severe eye problems to include sensitivity to light, burning and visual disturbances. Muscles spasm, weakness and pain down both arms and legs. My hands week and could hardly write my name. | After 2 weeks of discontinued use i am still having the problems with my eyes. I have had to take a medical leave of absence from work because i am now sensitive to the computers lights. Stay away from this stuff! | F | 46 | 5 days 2X day | 11/1/2013 | 1 | allergies | heart palpitations | Why aren't heart palpitations listed as potential side effects? I thought I was loosing my mind until I read this web site. Luckily I had a feeling that morning and did not use the nasal spray. I was in the hospital emergency room the night before with many heart palpitations. The doctor and nurse (both good) didn't even give a second look at Nasonex on my medication list. | F | 46 | 11 days | 3/18/2009 | 5 | year round allergies | NONE | I am loving this stuff. I used to take Allegra-D twice daily and hit a wall this spring when Allegra stopped working for me. I developed horrible sinusitis which I thought would kill me...I have sleep apnea and asthma so I really need to breathe at night. Dr. put me on Nasonex which cleared up the allergies immediatley. I have decreased my 2x daily dose to once a day and feel amazing!! I have finally become a nose breather at night and so even my apnea is a bit better. Love this stuff. | F | 45 | 2 months | 6/12/2008 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none other than possible nightime leg cramping - may or not be related | generally a great product. effectiveness varies with degree of allergens in the air - what part of the country I am in and where in the bloom cycle it is. far better than suffering from seasonal allergies | M | 45 | 6 years | 6/21/2007 | 5 | Allergies + Snoring | Complete and utter satisfaction. | I have used Nasonex for 3 years usually every night, sometime every other night with no side effects or problems. I started to really get worried reading all the horror stories some people are having on here. WOW, you need to seek medical attention!!! | M | 45 | 3 years | 10/23/2009 |
