| 1 | Nasal congestion | Extreme anxiety and panic attack. I was at Bob Evans, and the walls started closing in around me. I got home and started crying and had a very strong (and irrational) fear that the popping noise in my ear from my sinus congestion would never go away. I have 0 history of panic attacks so i assumed the likely culprit was Nasonex and wouldn't you know, multiple people reported similar side effects. A side effect i might add that isn't listed. Don't sniff this stuff unless you want to go on a vision quest. | No. | M | 38 | 2 days 1 x D | 5/7/2019 | 1 | Fluid in ear | Anxiety, heart palpitations, muscle weakness, itchiness, sore eyes, eyes sensitive to light , insomnia , diahrea, feeling out of it , foggy head, shakiness, tingling in arms and legs, bad dreams , depression | Don’t take this poison ! There needs to be a proper side effects list made for nasonex! I haven’t even listed everything it did to me. I have taken it on and off the pst few years and it’s only just clicked with me no after reading everyone’s comments what it was doing to me ! | F | 38 | 6 days | 12/18/2018 | 1 | Blocked Ears | Terrible feeling of panic and anxiety. Have stopped taking the medication after just 1 day. Was not even listed as a side effect. | M | 38 | 1 days 50Mg 2X day | 1/31/2015 | 1 | Nasal Inflammation | Severe heart palpatations, anxiety and insomnia. | Thank God for this site - I thought I was going crazy! I have severe heart palpations and anxiety and didn't make the connection to Nasonex until coming to this site. I had an EKG and 24 monitor earlier this week b/c of these severe side effects and my doc noticed lots of PVC's - still waiting on results, but I can honestly say I've felt like I was having a heart attack since I began Nasonex 3 weeks ago. I'm still having irregular heart beats constantly but will not use this product again and hope it doesn't take too long to get out of my system. | F | 38 | 3 weeks | 9/7/2007 | 1 | Ear conjestion | Severe breathing restriction & hives. Shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling. | This medication did not work with me. I have never had an allergic reation to a medication & I have taken other steriods before, like prednizone, but I really thought this stuff was going to kill me. I couldn't breathe for 2 days over Thanksgiving holidays. I almost went to the ER. My BP went up to 168/116. I only took this for 3 days & I have had the effects of the reaction for the last 5 days. | M | 38 | 3 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | allergies, dizzy | Horrible anxiety, heart palpatations, muscle aches, severe sleeplessnes, dizzy, nausea. | This is the worst medicine I could have taken- All steroids can amp you- this spray made me crazy. I thank God I found this site- I thought I was going crazy. After 2 months of taking this med. I was so anxious I could not sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I was not focused, I was vomitting after I took it. It took 4-7 days- but after I stopped taking this medicine I feel so much better. If you have any of these effects- stop now! My doctor never told me about the possibility of these side effects- I feel like this medicine made me worse. | F | 38 | 51 days | 5/28/2008 | 1 | sinus problems | irritable, anxious, depression, lack of energy and skin sensitivity. | thank God I googled this nasty drug - after returning from my fabulous honeymoon and feeling on top of the world, I was prescribed nasonex for my sinus problems. It took me about 1 week to work out that it was causing my irritability, depression, sensitivity and lethargy. BOO BOO Schering - Plough Pty Ltd | M | 38 | 7 days | 6/18/2008 | 1 | Allergy | Insomnia, depression, low sex drive | After having nasal surgery my ENT recommends that I take nasonex for the rest of my life. I took it for several months and then stopped. At that time I also had these symptoms but did not make the connection. Then started nasonex again for about a month and started getting the symptoms again. I have now been off it for just over 3 weeks but still have some of the symptoms and am very concerned. I hope some people on here can post how long it took for all the symptoms to go away after not taking it. I am curious to see if the symptoms I have are truly related to it or if I am just being overly stressed about it. | M | 38 | 6 months | 12/16/2008 | 1 | Severe Hayfever | Severe visual 'blurring' could not read or focus on TV. Shortness of breath, tight chest and difficulty catching breath, lack of sleep, wheezing. Dihorrhea. | Stopped the hayfever, but too concerned about regular or permanent eye damage (leaflet mentions Glaucoma in allergic reactions) and almost asthma attack caused, so will stop taking. Would rather have hayfever or drowsiness than this. | M | 38 | 2 days 140 2X day | 6/16/2010 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | I am SO relieved to see all these comments! Now I know its not just "me". I was given this medicine by my ENT, never once warned of any side effects! He even said it wasn't a steroid. I found relief within the first two or three days, but started having some crazy things going on. I began to feel light-headed-like I was going to faint-my vision started blurring-my nose felt weird to the touch-like it was rubber-& the headache OMG! I went to the ER twice with severe pains in my head-CT scans were normal both times,& I was sent back home on pain meds, only to have the agony return as soon as the meds wore off! My ears hurt & my throat is raw when I wake up in the mornings (I take it at bedtime). My husband says I am IRRITABLE,& he is right-the slightest thing sets me off (which is VERY unlike me) but I don't know why.I don't understand where this "sudden" feeling of anger comes from! I feel like I am struggling to breathe-walking up the stairs makes | Think it works great as far as what it is meant to do with the nasal passages, but is HORRIBLE for the side effects! I think it is dangerous and should be taken off the market!!!! | F | 38 | 4 weeks 2X day | 6/26/2010 | 1 | congestion | Sore throat, ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | I have had congestion problems which led to breathing problems and this was going on for about a 20 year period. I have begun to live with it. I have tried many different medicines but no relief. I have tried Nasonex and was experiencing all kinds of problems. I have been doing yoga (Kapalbhaati) since the last 7 months and all my congestion and breathing problems are gone! Lots of energy now. | M | 38 | 2 months 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Major headache (whole head hurt), eye pain, Day 2 Hives outbreak | DO NOT TAKE THIS MED!!! | F | 38 | 2 days 30 1X day | 3/20/2010 | 1 | Allergies, Chronic Sinus Congestion | In order of severity: dry nose, slight nose bleed, dull head pain in the various sinus cavities, intermittent sharp inner ear pain, intermittent sharp right ear lobe pain, night sweats, insomnia, tremors at night, rapid heart rate, pounding heart, tachycardia at night, severe anxiety, nervousness, bp 184/100 + extreme dizziness, extreme sharp lightning bolt pain in right forehead leading to right eye droop and right foot dragging. | Well, i have to give it to the manufacturer, this product did work exceedingly well to clear up my sinus congestion. However, the cure is far worse than the disease. Using this product left me wondering if battery acid (in solution of HCL) would have been a better formulation. The side effects are worse than terrible, and to some people could be life threatening. Symptoms cleared up after about 10 days of being Nasonex free... | M | 38 | 10 days 1 spray 1X day | 1/11/2011 | 1 | seasonal | BELLS PALSY.PARALIZED HALF OF MY FACE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING USE OF IT BACK FOR OVER A MONTH. BE CAREFUL THIS CAN BE PERMANENT. WOULD TAKE SINUS PRESSURE OVER HAVING USE OF HALF OF FACE BE CAREFUL OT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT TO ME. | F | 38 | 1 months as needed | 3/20/2012 | 5 | Sinusitis | None | Was having nasal conjestion, severe facial pain and shooting pain behind eyes and sharp pain behind eyes. Taking nasonex every morning in combination with one Aleve cold and sinus. Works great. If I don't take either one the pain returns. No irritibilty. | F | 37 | 4 months | 8/27/2007 | 5 | Seasonal Alergies | I tend to get a dry throat cough while taking | Changed my outlook on Spring. I used to go into hiding from May to July. Antihistamines put me into a fog. Nasonex stops the alergic reaction completely for me. No sneezing, No itchy runny eyes. I've taken for 3-seasons now and am very happy. | M | 37 | 90 days | 6/22/2007 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitus | Mild side effects - mild burning in the nose, some lose of smell | I've had Allergic Rhinitis my whole life (37+) which included post-nasal drip, nose, ear and chest congestion, recurrent sinus and respiratory infections (4+ times a year). This drug has been GREAT. I've been taking this for four months now (one puff in each nostril 1x a day). Eliminated these problems almost completely (knock on wood). I've noticed I've had some loss of sense of smell but nothing i can't live with. Not a bad tradeoff. Would recommend this to anyone with these issues. | M | 37 | 4 months | 10/16/2008 | 5 | Allergies, serious nasal congestion | Minor temporary throat irritation first 2 days. Believe it was blocked congestion that was released. | Absolutely wonderful! I have had congestion more times than not my whole life and no medicine has worked well until now! I almost feel like I don't have allergies. My nose is the best and clearest it has ever been and it is pollen season. I took Flonase for 5 years and it never worked this great. Plus Nasonex is scent free. I just couldn't be happier. | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 4/5/2006 | 5 | Swimming Migraine | None so far | I get migraines when I swim that are so bad I end up on the side of the pool almost in tears. My doctor and I felt that it was a sinus problem so she put me on Allegra and Nasonex. The first swim after starting the meds, I had only a slight/barely there headache. After that, I have had NONE! | F | 37 | 6 days | 10/18/2005 | 4 | Sinusitis & hearing problem | I found that I have become very irritible & short-tempered & easily stressed. These subsided when I stopped taking it. Have to work on finding the right balance to treat sinusitis & ear against side effects. | Has really help clear up sinus problem & ear problem is a little better. Overall - very imressed. | M | 37 | 3 weeks | 2/15/2005 |
