 1  Sinus congestion due to nasal polyp No side effects first week, gradually started getting pressure headaches, feeling unbalanced, dizziness, resulting in vomiting. Just thought my sinus congestion was getting worse, did not suspect it was the nasal spray. Then started to get intense nasal and sinus pressure a couple of hours after using. I kept on using the nasal spray, not believing that could be the cause as these symptoms are not listed in the side effects. Sinus tissues became inflamed, chronic head pressure. Stopped using the nasonex Haven't used the spray for four days. Head pressure is gradually improving. I have fell very I'll whilst using this product and would strongly recommend to anyone using it to be very aware of their symptoms as the side effects I experienced are not listed. F 53 2 months

 1  For allergic rinitis Thinning of nasal septum, thus exposing blood vessels causing really heavy nose bleeds. Had to have both sides on nose cauterized last week. I was actually put on a repeat prescription for this lethal spray!! Research showed that u r not meant to use it for longer than 3months! My dr never told me! Hence the damage to my nose. My advise is DONT start to use it at all. Try natural remedy. Im going to now once ive healed from cauterization. I'd been using it for 18months. Please dont as its not pleasant having cauterization done. F 48 10 months

I had been on Vigomox for pink eye and it didn't work so the Dr prescribed Nasonex. I had formerly been on Flonase. My bowel problems and pain in abdomen started first. I sought medical help for bowel/colitis like symptoms (was hospitalized for psueodomembranous colitis and almost died 30 years ago), I was unable to work for 3 weeks. I stopped the Nasonex 5 days ago (due to a commercial I saw on TV outlining side effects) Since then, my bowel is slowly healing, I am able to eat some regular foods and am finally off the BRAT diet (bananas, Rice, applesauce, toast - white) F 55 4 weeks

 1   I can't breathe out of both nostrils at the same time. Nasonex prescribed by doctor to deal with sinus headaches and nasal passage inflammation. I did not experience any nasal congestion prior to Nasonex (despite the inflammation). By the second day of Nasonex, one or both nostrils are completely blocked. Now, I can't sleep because I can't breathe out of my nose, and I'm pissed off and tired. F 45 3 days

 1  sinus infection w/ polyps I used to use prepartion H to clear my sinus for years and it works. My eye dr. suggested that I should talk to my gp about my using prepartion H. My gp shined his light up my noise. he informed me that my nasal passage was swollen due to my allergies and that I had some infection. He gave me the script.About two weeks into the treatment I started gaining a few pounds and start taking anti acids. My diet had not changed. I m a personal Trainer. I live in the gym. I just stared feeling weird. So yesterday and today I checked My own blood pressure. It was very high for no reason. Seeing that this med was the only thing new in my life. I didnt take it today, My by has go done some. I m glad to hear that it has helped some. I m sorry that it hasnt helped others. I m going back to using preperation H in my nose. At least it works all day without hurtng me M 48 1 months

 1  doctor insisted I use it Gave me a bloody nose and didn't do squat. I told my doctor it didn't work, but when I got an ear infection this year, they insisted I needed to use it. The prescription was over $120, so I told Walgreens that I didn't want it, and they said I didn't have to buy it. I have to wonder if there is some kick back scheme with this medication. My brother uses a different doctor who also insisted he take it. 4 Way brand's Saline Moisturizing Mist actually works, and I could buy 20+ bottles of the stuff for same price! F 42 3 days

 1  allergies Blood pressure shot up to between175/105 and 160/95. Doctor put me on lisinopril and did not help so went off that 2 weeks ago. I went off nasonex 2 days ago and my pressure is now around 140/85. I also had a low grade runny nose all the time and that is now gone. Nasonex home page side effects does not list high blood pressure (funny it does list low blood pressure. Thank goodness for this website and thank you all for helping so many people who are overmedicating themselves and feeling lausy for naught. If you have a history of high blood pressure I would be very cautious about this drug. M 63 45 days

 1  clogged Eustachian tubes w/earache At first heart palpitations, but they went away after a week. Head rushes, feeling kind of spaced out, dizzy, weak. After 1 week, the diarrhea started. Now I have constant stomach cramps, I never know when it's going to be diarrhea or just gas, nausea. After 2 weeks of trying to tough it out, the diarrhea is worse than ever so I'm quitting. I would rather have the earaches than have diarrhea so bad that I can't leave the house. F 36 3 weeks

 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

 1  Chronic runny nose This drug gave me a horrible pounding headache like no other. It woke me up out of a dead sleep and I couldn't get back to sleep until I took 3 advil. I also developed an upper respiratory infection the same time I started this drug. I have not had a cold in ages and at first I thought it was a coincidence, but once I stopped this drug, my hacking cough and runny nose started to subside. I should mention that I also had the same type of infection when I started using Omnaris last year, but stopped taking that because of the side effects also. Then the kicker was last night I woke up and my heart was beating a mile a minute. I am a very healthy individual and just got a complete physical and clean bill of health. Oh and should I mention the restless sleep and weird as heck dreams. This drug is terrible...I'd rather have a runny nose. I stopped this drug after 4 days. F 48 4 days
