| 3 | Chronic Sinus Congestion | Some dryness in the nose (can increase chance of bloody nose) | Gives a mild improvement to nasal congestion. Nothing to get really excited about. If you have really bad congestion like I do, it is very helpful, though. Has a nice flowery smell, with no aftertaste, unlike some similar meds. | M | 44 | 10 years 2X day | 2/10/2011 | 2 | blocked eustachian tube | heart pap....blurred vision..hard to swallow sometimes...stuffy nose.. | F | 44 | 4 weeks 30mg | 4/28/2012 | 2 | Sinus infection | Post nasal drip/painful throat, mouth sores and tenderness, headaches, eye, brow and face pain. Throat and eye dryness, jaw pain. I am also feeling disconnected and unclear. I'm stopping the medication tonight, I can't cope like this. | F | 44 | 6 days 60 | 11/21/2012 | 2 | Sinus Congestion | Moodiness, depression, anger, anxiety, strange dreams, headache, speediness. | Not worth the side effects. Getting off this stuff. | M | 44 | 7 days | 3/10/2008 | 1 | chronic colds and sinus infections | prescribed for 4 year old daughter - it did clear up her sinuses, but the side effects were too severe to continue it. | This was prescribed for my four year old daughter. It made her agressive, fly into fits of rage, have temper tantrums, hyperness, inability to sleep, she told me at night that her heart and her head were 'going in circles' and she couldn't calm down. | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/15/2008 | 1 | itchy eyes, nose and sinus problem | I recently had sudden onset of insomnia, racing thoughts and intense anxiety during the night. Prior to this current use of Nasonex I had the same problems for at least a year. I did an intensive sleep training clinic, addressing anxiety and good sleep behavior. At the same time of this treatment I had a respiratory infection and had my meds changed to address my asthma. Near the day that Nasonex was dropped I suddenly slept deeply. I thought it was the training working after 5+ weeks of intensively addressing the sleep issue. So, about 40 days ago my allergist said my infection was cleared up and to go back on Nasonex. Within days my sleep was disturbed. So, yesterday I decided to look over my calender and drug info to see if I could make any connections. It is not indicated on the Nasonex information that there could be sleep or other behavioral disturbances so, I NEVER SUSPECTED IT. It clearly showed on my calender that use of Nasonex was consistent with the sleep and anxiet | If you must, use with extreme caution and observation. It is always important to journal drug use. | F | 44 | 40 days | 12/11/2008 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Severe Headaches | I took this medicine for about 10 days, not long enough to use one spray bottle. Each time I used it I would get a headache, each time was worse and worse until the last time the headache was so bad I couldn't even open my eyes. This was about 6 months ago. I still get severe headaches, sometimes daily. | F | 44 | 10 days | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Allergies | This nasonex spray needs to be banned. Serious anxiety attacks, fast heart rate, feeling not normal. I would not take it even if it was free. | Stay away from it, you have been warned. | 44 | 5 days 30 1X day | 9/27/2022 | 1 | sinus problems, allergies. | Panic attacks, jittery, restlessness. It feels like I've become over stimulated and on edge. Worked for clearing up my sinus issue, but has left me feeling panicky with sweaty palms. It began on day 3 of taking the nasonex and just now, earlier today, figured out what has been making me feel like this. I hope symptoms will go away soon since I wont be taking it anymore. | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/6/2015 | 1 | sinus congestion | Have taken nasonex for 3 days. Have had insomnia and headaches, am jittery and dizzy for about 4-5 hours after taking medication. | Has not helped the congestion in fact it seems worse | F | 44 | 3 days | 1/17/2007 | 1 | congestion | Headaches, insomnia, shoulder pain. heart palps, and bad muscle weakness and pain, | Was fine the first two days using a puff per nostril 2x a day, the the third day day had a horrible headache (never get headaches) heart started racing while laying down, muscle weakness in legs, then that night did not sleep a wink! the next day my shoulder hurt so bad, thght that I had smashed into something, the horrible headache came back, I knew it must be the nasonex, found this site and know that it definitely was! Horrible stuff!! | F | 44 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 8/14/2011 | 1 | allergies | light headedness, dizziness, nervousness and anxiety-- especially when driving, unable to focus, fatigue | My doctor prescribed Nasonex about three years ago. I only take it seasonally--spring and fall, two sprays in each nostril once a day. I started again this March. I was fine the first couple of weeks, however, for the past two weeks, I have had these very weird feelings--light headedness,; anxiety, feeling like I'm going to pass out or fall asleep while driving. Also, it's hard for me to focus mentally-as if my head is in a fog. This happened several times while out shopping in a big open space like Target or Walmart. This is a very frightening experience. I'm so glad that I came upon this website. I am healthy-physically and mentally and have never felt anxiety before. I am going to stop taking Nasonex. | F | 44 | 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | My face feels like someone has it in a vice grip.My teeth hurt on the right side up and bottom. I put cold compresses on my face but nothing releaves this excrushiating pain. My whole right side of my head throbs and is raised. Oh!My *&*& it hurts!My face is hot to the touch, right side is 100% more affected than the left from my temple to the jaw line. | F | 44 | 10 days 2X day | 5/24/2010 | 5 | Chronic nasal inflammation | None | Allowed me to breathe freely at night after years of trying every over-the-counter medication on the market. | M | 43 | 3 months 1X day | 7/13/2012 | 5 | allergies | no side effects (other than a brief sore throat-like effect right after the spray that lasts only a few minutes) | It really helps with my allergies, and the best benefit: no sleepiness like with most antihistamines (yes, even "non-drowsy" antihistamines make me sleepy). | F | 43 | 1 years | 5/23/2009 | 4 | Chronic stuffy nose | I have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth and a burning sensation on one side of my tongue - tongue is sensitive too. When I eat or drink anything the burning is worse and it alters the taste of my food. It's so unpleasant that I can only used this medication for a couple days and then I have to stop. When I stop, so do the side effects. If not for the side effects I would love this stuff. | It does work. It says that it can take awhile to work but it works for me right away. But I'm not sure what's worse, the stuffy nose or the horrible thing it does to my tongue. | F | 43 | 6 months | 2/20/2005 | 4 | Chronic Sinus Infection, Nasal Cyst | Did not have any side effects probably because I increased my magnesium while on this drug. I've read on different websites that you are supposed to icrease your magnesium to about 200 mg a day while taking any corticosteroids because these drugs pull magnesium from your body and give you all the side effects that all of you are mentioning (anxiety, headaches, leg cramps, nausea, etc.) This is probably why I am not experiencing any side effects is because I increased my magnesium intake. | Since taking this drug, my nose no longer bleeds. I no longer experience headaches or dizzy spells. Also, I don't sneeze as often or react as much to allergens. This drug has been a lifesaver to me. I do want everyone who has had side effects from this drug to listen to me - you need to increase your magnesium - I swear by this. I've read about it on different websites (can't remember exactly which ones), but I was on different websites researching about Nasonex before I agreed to listen to my doctor and take this drug. So, the first day I started taking my Nasonex I immediately began to increase my daily intake of magnesium - using supplements - particularly Isotonix Calcium Plus (you can buy and learn more about Isotonix on the internet). I am not kidding you, when I tell you that all the nasty side effects that many people have been writing about on this website are all symptoms of very low magnesium levels in your body. Your side effects might go away simply by increasing your magnesium. | F | 43 | 5 months 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 3 | Nasal Allergies | Dry eyes, nose bleeds, infections including ears, sinus, bladder, headaches that ibprofen cant help, nausia at times, loss of hunger at times, bad menstration cramps, loss of smell, have added medications to the arsenal! Due to dry eyes caused by this med i have eye drops i have to use 4-5 times a day, ive been on antibiotics an average of 3 times a month due to infections, have spent a boat load of money at ENT to cure ear infection, sinus infection. also have mood swings that i didnt have previously. | Nasonex DID relieve nasal congestion. But it also CAUSED alot of problems. I quit it 2 days ago. Nose congested again, stomach cramps, head ache yesterday. What do you take next after quitting this stuff?? What IS SAFE to take to clear congestion?! | F | 43 | 5 months 17G 2X day | 8/24/2011 | 3 | Nasal polyps allergies | Severe joint pains which move from place to place, especially fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, hips, knees. Also minor nose bleeds. | Tried stopping Nasonex for 2 weeks, joint pains disappeared after 3 days. Resumed Nasonex last week, joint pains back in full force. | F | 43 | | 10/14/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Upset Stomach | Drug worked great. Even after using it once, I felt life was so good, once again, because allergies were debilitating. Then... Side Effects kicked in. My stomach rebelled. It was like bad acid reflux. Even though I ate tums, the stomach pain persisted on throughout the day, and at night, my stomach gurgled. This is highly unusual for me. I stopped the meds. But still have less pain next day. May try cutting the does but, this does not bode well for my tolerance of this medication. | F | 43 | 1 days 1X day | 3/3/2015 |
