 2  Allergy relief I have been on Nasonex for quite awhile and the biggest side affect that I had was the loss of smell. I haven't been able to smell for five months. When I stopped using Nasonex and whiched to a different nose spray my since of smell is slowing coming back. I would not recommend using this for a very long time. F 33 5 years

 2  nasal allergies Palpitations, irregular heart rhythm, chest pain Good for nasal allergies, could finally smell again. BUT, the irregular heart rhythm is scary and shouldn't happen with allergy medication. M 33 2 months

 1  allergies, rhinitis anxiety, mood swings,deppression, heart palpitations Although it helped my symptoms I had a terrible experience with Nasonex and its emotional side effects. When I returned to the allergist and described my experience, he told me that it was impossible for the drug to have that effect. I firmly believe that this is not true. I know how I felt while taking it. Nasonex made me go crazy for the duration of the time that I was on it. When I stopped taking it, I returned to my normal self. M 33 80 days

 1  Chronic Sinus infections and stuffy After about 3 days, I could not sleep, I would wake up frequently and toss and turn, sometimes hot and then cold. I constantly felt hung over without the drinking. I feel the lack of sleep led to my feeling tired, and irritable. I caught myself spacing out, and forgetting things. Thank God my fiance suggested looking up side-effects. I guess it really depends on your chemistry. I have discontinued use. M 33 5 days

 1  ear problems due to allergies relief from symptoms but racing heart, increased anxiety, and raised blood pressure the last time i saw my dr. before just a few months prior to starting this drug, my bp was 98/70. a couple of months after starting nasonex, i noticed i was having heart palpitations and what i can only desribe as near-panic attacks. i'd never experienced any problems like this before. also saw the dr. for another problem around that time, and my bp was 140/?. this persisted until i decided to test out the nasonex connection. i tapered myself off and sure enough felt normal again within a few weeks. bp is normal again, too. i think this drug is borderline scary.

 1  Nasal polyps and chronic runny nose Insomnia and nightmares I take no other medicines and started this medicine two weeks ago. Asian lady sleep very well in after the first week I started waking up at 4 AM every day . Now for the past week every Night I am having terrible dreams about drowning, being chased and shot at, and death of family members. Nothing else has changed in my life so I'm worried it is the nasonex. I have also noticed bags under my eyes recently, I'm guessing from waking up after dreams in the night and being scared. I am stopping this medication now and hoping things get better. The medicine did seem to help my runny nose but it is not worth the scary dreams and insomnia F 33 1 weeks

 1  Allergies Heart palpatations, muscles ache, weird dreams can't sleep. I took Nasonex for 3 days last week and noticed my heart was skippindg beats. I got real nervous and went to the family Dr. and he said the palpatations were normal however I never in my life had these symptoms before until taking Nasonex. I stopped using it last Thurs. and five days later am still having symptoms. I hope the palpatations go away I'm only 33yrs old. Nasonex is the only thing I took for my allergies that could be giving me these symptoms. Can any one give me some insight when these symptoms should get out of my systom? Thanks M 33 3 days

 1  Sinus infection I have been having heart palpitations, and my heart beats rapidly and very hard. Also, there has been a heaviness in my head, and I've noticed that my blood pressure has been high for the past few days. I'm afraid to continue my usage. F 33 2 weeks

 1  allergies: runny nose & itchy eyes Nausea, sore throat, occasional dizziness, acne, and feeling like I am going to come down with a fever ( overall crappiness and feeling like my body is just worn out). Along with the nausea, there were periods where I felt like I could eat like a pig. But when I did eat, I felt sick again. It did cure my allergy symptoms, but I can't live with Nasonex. I am a very healthy, energetic 33 year old woman who is typically not "sensitive" to many medications. This is the only med that I have ever taken where the side effects are absolutely awful! I have a Master's degree in nursing and would not recommend this drug for any of my patients. I have discontinued the drug for 3 days now and still fell lousy, but a little better. I am sure that it will take some time for it to be eliminated from my body. F 33 2 weeks

 1  allergic rhinitis Shortness of breath, tight throat, tight chest, tiredness, diziness Within 2 days I could finally breathe again like a normal person. Also no sneezing at all, no nothing. But also felt very tired and izzy after starting taking it and one week before finishing the treatment I was really having shortness of breath and chest tightness. I thought my allergy turned into asthma or that I'm having panic attacks. I was really scared until I read this. It's been a week after I finished the treatment and still have shortness of breath and tight throat and chest. I really hope it will go away soon. I wish I knew about these side effects earlier. Two years ago I took Flixonase and it was very good and didn't have any side effects. F 33 30 days

 1  Allergies anxiety, cushings, high cortisal, weight gain, facial hair, muscle craps, joint pain, blurred vision I was taking this drug once a day for months when I developed a sinus infection. My Dr. told me to bump up my dosage and to take it at night. I blindly started using it 2X a day. My sinuses cleared up but my immune system just shut down and I developed cushings. I am really upset I have gained a ton of weight and my ACTH is really really high. If anyone has any guess to how long it will take for the side effects to go away. Please email me. F 33 6 months

 5  constant sinus congestion bad taste in throat This drug saved my life. I had complete sinus congestion for two months before this med and now I am completely congstion free. Only drawback is the expense if you have no insurance F 32 2 months

 5  allergies, sinus headaches None! Nasonex is great. I have no drowsiness, dry eyes, or irratability as I did with other allergy medications. It works better than Flonase, especially at relieving congestion. I don't have to take anything else now but Nasonex once a day. F 32 7 days
