| 2 | alergies | I began taking Nasonex and within a month I stared experiencing heart palpitations - up to 10 occurrences in one day. I also had a lot of anxiety at night and subsequently, trouble sleeping (I normally sleep very well). I went off the drug to see if that was what was causing the palpitations and sure enough, they went away. Then, to rule out any coincidences, I started using Nasonex again. The palpitations came back immediately. I went off it and will never use it again. I have not had another palpitation since. | It worked excellent in clearing up my alergies but certainly some of us have side effects which are not listed on the drug itself. Nasonex is not for me as the palpitations were really scary. | F | 35 | 3 months | 9/21/2009 | 2 | Sinusitis | It gave me very intense throat pain and difficulty swallowing. I was also experiencing significant tightness in my chest that would cyclically come and go throughout the day. I was initially attributing this to my pneumonia recovery from 6 weeks ago, but it got worse as the week went on. Finally called the pharmacy after waking up wheezing at 3 am, and they said to stop taking it immediately. | It seems like i am allergic to either the drug or something in it, but it also did nothing at all to help clear my sinuses - if anything, I feel like it may have blocked them further. However, I can understand that everybody's physiology is different and not all meds work the same for all people. | M | 35 | 6 days 2 sprays 2X day | 12/13/2019 | 2 | Nasal Polyps | weight gain, irritability, rage, depression, pain behind left eye, gushing bloody noses. | I'm so upset because all of this is coming together for me after reading this web site. I have had these symptoms but haven't been able to put my finger on the feelings of helplessnes and depression. I thought it was because I mysteriously got fat. I've never had weight problems EVER. | M | 35 | 2 years | 4/12/2007 | 2 | Perennial Allergic Rhinitis | Increased rhinitis, mild sore throat, sneezing | Expensive way to find out that it made my symptoms worse rather than better. I am throwing out the rest! | F | 35 | 5 days | 5/9/2007 | 1 | allergies, polyps, congestion | HORRIBLE mildewy smell, increased nasal congestion, chronic sinus infection, fatigue, irritability, sinus pain and pressure | My allergist added nasonex to my medicine routine after I had sinus suregery to have several polyps removed and to clean out my sinuses and fix my deviated septum. I had this surgery in January and began taking nasonex in February. I have had a sinus infection since February that I cannot get cleared up. I am now on an oral antibiotic, prednisone and and antibiotic rinse (which is no fun to take!). AFter reading these comments, I am convinced that the Nasonex has caused this 3 month infection. After my surgery in Jan., my ENT surgeon said all my sinuses were clean and infection free. It's a shame that after going through the pain of recovering from surgery(and out $5,000) and being well for one month, a bottle of nose spray has practically put me back at square one!!! I have also trashed my Nasonex and will tell everyone I know not to use it!! | F | 35 | 3 months | 5/17/2007 | 1 | Taken for Nasal Polyp | Sore (VERY PAINFUL) Throat, shortness of breath, insomnia. | Within 2 weeks had the absolute WORST sore throat in my life. I wouldnt wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I have never had shortness of breath until taking this garbage, I'm very athletic. My polyps gone down, but I've never felt worse otherwise. My throat is killing me, my tounge is swollen, my mouth hurts soooo bad its difficult to eat, etc etc etc YET I'M NOT SICK! ! ! Thanks Nasonex! Oh and did I mention the bloody nose.... | M | 35 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2006 | 1 | Taken for Nasal Polyp | Sore (VERY PAINFUL) Throat, shortness of breath, insomnia. | Within 2 weeks had the absolute WORST sore throat in my life. I wouldnt wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I have never had shortness of breath until taking this garbage, I'm very athletic. My polyps gone down, but I've never felt worse otherwise. My throat is killing me, my tounge is swollen, my mouth hurts soooo bad its difficult to eat, etc etc etc YET I'M NOT SICK! ! ! Thanks Nasonex! Oh and did I mention the bloody nose.... | M | 35 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2006 | 1 | Allergies and sinusitis | Anxiety, heart palpitations, twitch eyelid, dry and red eyes (I wear contact lens), stomach ache, even depression sometimes. | It's such a bad idea to use it while you have to write a 400 pages thesis within half an year. | M | 35 | 12 weeks | 11/28/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symtoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - but I am very thankful to have my life back. | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symptoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 | 1 | fluid in ears, allergies | Significant heart palpatations, fluttering, dry cough, blood in nasal secretions,tightness in chest with deep inhalation. Symptoms last for a day or two after using nasonex. The heart palpatations were very unnerving. My physician said it wouldn't cause this but there is nothing else different. One month ago same thing happeded but the physician said it was from Allegra D. I just resumed nasonex last night and lo and behold the palpatations started again. | Took for 3 weeks then later for 2 days. Will no longer take it because the side effects are worse than the problems I am having. | F | 35 | | 12/14/2006 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My 7 year old daughter became very moody and tearful! | F | 35 | 7 days | 12/2/2006 | 1 | DIZZINESS, VERTIGO | head aches, ear pain, frequent sinus infections, anxiety, shaking , high blood pressure, fast heart beat. chest pain, and soar throat and joint pain . | know the side effects before you use it | F | 35 | 2 months 50MCG 2X day | 11/15/2011 | 1 | Eustachian tube dysfunction | Anxiety,panic, depression, fatigue, vertigo vision, racing heart, ear popping. | Thank god I came across this thread. No over reaction I thought I was dying and my health anxiety went straight to brain tumor. Side effects steadily crept in around 2.5 week mark. I've now been off this utter rubbish for a week. I'm feeling abit better but still lingering side effects. Would be nice to know how long it took others to get over the side effects? | F | 35 | 3 weeks 2x sprays 1X day | 3/20/2024 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I have had one other panic attack in my life and one after taking this for a month. It came from nowhere and the after effects lasted for a week. I also felt like my skin was crawling but only now found out this can happen from this drug. I also felt lacking energy and feeling isolated. I stopped taking and since feel normal again. This should be banned. I'm not saying in necessarily causes panic attacks however it seems to be a trigger for one. | F | 35 | 1 months 2 sprays | 10/6/2014 | 1 | Post nasal drip and blocked nose | It has been 30 days since I stopped taking this drug. Today is the first day that my dizzy, head rush feelings have gone away, almost completely. My ENT told me to do to sprays in each nostril twice a day for two weeks. My vision has felt very strange and almost like I have vertigo. I have always been an extremely balanced person who has not suffered from dizziness. I too have been very scared that the feelings would not go away as it has been more than a month since I stopped taking it. I also have never had a bad reaction to anything that has been prescribed to me I do not suffer from any allergies and am an extremely healthy person aside from this postnasal drip which has been really annoying me for the last couple of years hence my visit to the ENT. It's impossible to say for sure if this drug is the cause of these feelings how ever so many people have described similar feelings I have had heart palpitations nervousness anxiety dizziness which are all new to me and today I definitely feel better and I hope that gives the other people still experiencing problems that you will get better. I do still have a strange feeling when I move my head and in my eyes but it's much better than it was. It absolutely shocks me that this drug is also prescribed to children and young adults and I hope that they do not have these issues as it can be debilitating and young people may receive diagnosis on their anxiety as is being connected behavioural problems. I do wish that thes | F | 35 | 1 months 4 sprays | 10/15/2014 | 1 | Sinus problems | Nausea, tightness in chest, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety | I switched from Flonase to Nasonex after a doctor recommended it. I never had any trouble with Flonase, but I noticed some rather startling symptoms after using Nasonex for only a few weeks. I've been off it for a couple of days, and the side effects seem to be diminishing a little. | M | 35 | | 6/16/2009 | 1 | nasal allergies | Constant anxiety. I had a panic attack at my daughters school that put me on my knees. I couldn't move for 20 minutes because my muscles and legs were so weak. My heart was going jump out of my chest. I thought I was going to die. I also have constant pressure in my head and dizziness. | I will never take this medication again. I thought I was going crazy. I have never felt worse in my life. I even went to my doctor and asked what would cause this. I had an EKG done as well as blood work only to find out that I am in perfect health yet I felt like I was going nuts. He said the nasonex should not be causing this but after reading all of these comments I have stopped using Nasonex. I want my life back and not have to worry about having a panic/anxiety attack again. Thank you to all of you for your comments. You saved my life. | M | 35 | 3 months | 11/8/2007 | 1 | Sinusitis | Terrible dizziness and light-headedness (especially at night) - repeatedly woke up from periods where it seemed my blood pressure had dropped drastically (causing dizziness), followed by racing heart (to compensate for the drop in blood pressure). Symptoms came on slowly but by the third day, I only took one dose (at night) and the symptoms were even worse that night, so I stopped taking it altogether and will never take it again. I think it would have killed me had I kept on taking it. Fortunately the antibiotics I have been taking have cleared up the infection. | I believe the medical community is not paying close enough attention to the potentially life-threatening side effects of this drug. Take it with extreme caution. | F | 35 | 3 days | 10/29/2008 | 5 | congestion and constant runny nose | Just minor nosebleeds | I love Nasonex! I used to take Zyrtec-D twice a day. I am allergic to everything, including my 2 dogs. My airways are totally clear and my nose doesn't run at all now. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/31/2008 |
