| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | | 4/5/2001 | 4 | | 2/27/2005 | 4 | Allergies | none | I think this stuff works best with just sporadic use. I had most of my allergies symptoms disappear after the second day, so i stopped taking it. My allergies symptoms didn't reappear for about a month, so I took one more hit and that bought me another month of relief. I suspect that the daily use recommendation is overkill that results in bad side effects, and is probably just to sell more medication. | M | 90 days | 12/9/2008 | 4 | nasal allergies | Sleeplessness which I solved easily by taking the medication in the morning. | You people who think this medication causes 'roid rage are so off-base, it's laughable. You hear steroids and think they're all the same. The kind of steroids that are responsible for 'roid rage are called anabolic steroids. This is a corticosteroid. They are entirely different. Nasonex is a safe drug. It can cause sleeplessness so if it does so, take it in the morning. It works well. The power of suggestion is an incredible thing. | F | | 11/1/2007 | 4 | Alergies | Occasional bleeding nose. | I haven't had a problem with Nasonex but might have a solution for those who have had some minor side effects or are thinking of using it. My doctor was VERY emphatic about not "snorting" Nasonex into my lungs. Some people have said that they had tight chests and sore throats. This might be a very real side effect for some but for others, the medicine should never get that far. Lightly breathing in through your nose while spraying is enough. DON'T spray and snort the stuff into your lungs like asthma medicine. Also, I found that after one bottle, I switched to one spray per nostril--works fine for me and I can finally breath through my nose after years of nasal blockage. | M | 2 years | 7/15/2009 | 3 | allergies | hyperactive, jittery, legs shaking, aggressive and angry | My 10 year old son began taking this medication just 4 days ago and even though it's done wonders for his allergies, he's been shaking his legs uncontrollably and has been extremely hyper and jittery. Tonight however he had an extremely aggressive outburst none like I've ever seen and he threw a rock at my head!!! This is frightening and I'm taking him off the medication immediately. | 4 days | 6/17/2007 | 3 | sinusitis | heart palpitations, tight chest, shortness of breath lying down and at the start of exercise, facail rash (after a couple of months) that is related to steriod spray use. | worked to open sinuses, also decreased infections. but palpatations were unnerving. stopped the drug. | | 1/4/2007 | 3 | migraines/allergies. | My son has severe, weather-triggered migraines. We were given Nasonex by a pharmacist in Italy and it seemed to have broken a headache he'd had almost without relief for a month. We've been using it again for the last 11 days (1 squirt per nostril) and, again, it seems to be helping. Is this just a coincidence? He does not have serious nasal blockage or sinusitus. Any similar experiences? Please contact. | M | | 10/28/2004 | 3 | allergies | | 7/3/2005 | 2 | Hay Fever | Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason. | Unfortunately Nasonex has cured most of my allergy symptoms which is a dilemma, the alleged side effects are mostly in line with others apart from the swolen ankles and the constipation. I have been taking this for two months now and all the side effects have built up over this time, before hand I was healthy but with Hayfever! I will discontinue use of Nasonex as from today and see if the problems persist or desist and post again in say 4 weeks time. | F | 2 months | 7/22/2009 | 2 | bad tast in mouth, nausea, and acid reflux....stopped taking it for four days and nausea continues...anyone else had this problem with nausea and lasting after you stop for days. | F | 22 days | 7/12/2008 | 2 | allergies/congestion | Sore throat, shortness of breath,tired/sleepy often, cold/flu symtoms, neck, arm , shoulder aches and pains. I would not recommend this drug to anyone w/o careful analysis of pros and cons.The pharmycist didn't know anything about the counterindication when I contacted him.They just sell the stuff . | This is a steroid not a NSAID | M | 30 days | 7/9/2008 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My husband was taking this when about 1 week later he noticed a black spot in his central vision of his right eye. (Bleeding in his eye). | Went to eye specialist. She asked if he was taking a nasal spray with "steroids" in it. This is what caused the bleeding. (which she later denied saying). Took 2 years of test after test to try to stop the bleeding and ultimately laser treatment (she "fried" his macula" and referred him to someone else. The bleeding finally stopped but He did not get his vision back because of the laser surgery. It was an absolute nightmare. Tried to get a lawyer but because there was no precedent set after a lot of reseach he did not take our case. Ultimately my husband had cancer (unrelated) and passed away. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT. | M | 1 weeks | 7/26/2008 | 1 | sinus infection | | 7/30/2008 | 1 | allergies | terrible congestion. especially in one nostril. i have been having anxiety attacks that are scary. terrible headaches. fatigue and depression. lose of appetite. high blood pressure. and now i have a upper respiratory infection and i just got over one a few weeks ago. | I just threw away my prescription of nasonex and have no intention of ever taking it again. Anyone listening! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. There is a natural remedy for allergies and it works much better than any pharmacitical garbage. Its called CAYENNE. Drink a warm cup of Cayenne (tsp) with lemon water every morning and you'd be surprised how better you feel. It clears up congestion immediately and you have an overall sense of well being. Best of all it is NATURAL. God Bless you all. | F | 8 days | 5/26/2009 | 1 | Allergy | Racing heart, trouble sleeping (I would have difficulty falling asleep or would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, disorientated and with racing heart), anxiety attacks - end up going to cardiologist who found nothing wrong. I felt like I was going crazy, went to see the doctor who told me it could not be from Nasonex. I then found this website and stopped taking it - all side effects have since disappeared. Nasonex worked wonders in clearing my allergy but it made my life hell. Think I would rather have a runny nose than what I went through with the drug's side effects. Dangeorus stuff. | F | 6 months | 4/28/2009 | 1 | roid rage symptoms | the steroids in Nasonex are called corticosteroids, and they can cause "roid rage" type side effects, such as aggression, depression, mania, violent reactions, and even psychosis. Do a google search on "steroid psychosis" or sidefxdrugs and you will see the side effects corticosteroids can cause. | M | | 11/14/2007 | 1 | Allergies | nausea, diarrhia, sleeplessness, chest cold | f | M | 2 months | 1/9/2008 | 1 | stuffy nose, sinus congestion | extremely violent diarrhea attacks and butthole burn | M | 7 days | 1/24/2008 | 1 | nasal drip | My 3-year old daughter was prescribed Nasonex to help control her constant nasal drip/allergies. Though the medicine does seem to help control the drip to an extent, the side effects are not worth the small benefit. My sweet-tempered child has become irrational and angry with constant mood swings, is anxious, apparently is hallucinating, and is having nightmares and night terrors. As the side effects have gradually worsened, I only recently put two and two together to realize it is the medicine. She had this identical reaction with Singulair about a year ago. | I am stopping Nasonex with her immediately. | F | 6 weeks | 4/1/2008 |
