| 1 | Nasal polyps | After ten days I started getting sharp pains low down in my stomach, and feeling very weak and tired and lost my appetite. The stomach ache came and went, but a few days later I started vomiting and was very sick for several hours. I had not eaten anything that might have caused this and began to wonder if it was the Nasonex. I looked it up and found that severe persistent vomiting could be a side effect. I was unable to eat anything for 3 days and still feel weak several days later. I am recovering now but will never take Nasonex again. | Nasonex did seem effective in reducing my nasal polyps and helping my breathing but it is not worth it. I think this medicine is harmful and dangerous | F | 62 | 14 days 1 spray 2X day | 10/13/2011 | 1 | Nasal Congestion/Allergies | Insomnia, headache | Helped with nasal congestion but I can't sleep. Wish I had known to not take this medicine before bed! I took it last night and had a restless sleep and woke up with a headache. Took again tonight and now I am wide awake. I can't imagine I will be able to fall asleep anytime soon. Do not take at night! | F | 41 | 2 days 1X day | 10/12/2011 | 1 | Seasonal Allergy | insomnia, HEAD RUSHES and flushing every 60 seconds, irritability, cold sores, face tingling, weak muscles all over, nosebleed. | I thought I was going to have a stroke or that my blood pressure was high etc. Otherwise healthy.... Went to urgent care and had a bunch of labs drawn.... They said I was fine. I know I'm not. Also weird is that my thyroid labs t have been normal for years have gone crazier than when I was first diagnosed and those labs a month ago were fine. So glad to find this site!!! | F | 45 | 3 weeks 1 spray 2X day | 10/1/2011 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | Increase in high blood preasure, headache, mucle pain above knees. I was on the Diovan for a couple of weeks and then I got off the medication. Ever since I start taking Nasonex my blood pressure came back. The Nasonex was prescribed by my physician to treat my Chronic Sinusitis. | M | 34 | 1 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 9/22/2011 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | High Blood Pressure, Heart Palipitations, Shortness of Breath, feeling like I cant get enough O2 in my lungs, Anxious and generally irritable. | Went to the Dr. yesterday - I have just been feeling awful for 3 weeks. Was at the ENT 2 weeks ago for a followup for my Chronic Sinusitis. I had started taking Nasonex 2 sprays each nostril before bed. Nurse took my BP and told me it was high 152/100 - she took it 4 more times and each time it came back high from 160 -150/100 range. She told me I should follow up with my GP regarding it. Went to my GP yesterday for the heart palipitations and shortness of breath - and she wanted to put me on Blood Pressure Medication - explained that I haven't been feeling well, and was at the ENT 2 weeks ago and they told me I have high bloop pressure.. I'm 40 - work out 6 days a week biking and running. I'm 5'2 and weigh 118lbs. My BP has always been normal - until Nasonex. She told me it's not the nasonex and I should start taking Beta blockers - well - I'm not taking beta blockers, or Nasonex anymore. Too much of a coincidence for me to believe that I just got high blood pressure out of the blue. I don't feel much better yet, but I can feel my body slowly coming back.I'm convinced this is all realated.. | F | 40 | 21 days 2 sprays 1X day | 9/21/2011 | 1 | Fluid behind the ear,allergies | headaches,mood swings, nausea, vomiting,sinus pain, pains in back, lungs, chest, shoulders and neck. burning of throat and espahagaus , heart burn. frequent use of bathroom *every half hour* little to no appetite, always tiered, shortness of breath, heart paps. dizzy, hard to use hands at times always dropping stuff. Extremely tiered , up threw out night constantly, stressed. | i waited 4 hours in an ER waiting room to find out what was wrong with my ear. i was in and out of the room within 5 of my name being called. the doctor told me it was fluid in me ear due to t5he tubes not draining due to allergies.Doctor told me to "get rid" of all my pets.After telling her no she gave me Reactine and Nasonex. since then i have had no hollow sound in my ear but i feel 100 times worse then before i started it | F | 23 | 1 weeks 2spray 2X day | 9/14/2011 | 1 | allergies | palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, muscle and bone pain, acne, puffy face, weight gain, itching, racing heart, nervousness, shaky | I visited the doctor this week with numerous troubling symptoms. He scheduled me for a barrage of tests. It suddenly dawned on me that my symptoms began about the time I began using Nasonex. In researching the drug, I found this website. I was amazed to see the number of people whose symptoms were just like mine. I quit using Nasonex two days ago and I am already feeling much better. I'll go ahead with the tests just in case, but I'm convinced that Nasonex was the cause of my problems. | F | 57 | 3 months 2 sprays 1X day | 9/5/2011 | 1 | congestion | Headaches, insomnia, shoulder pain. heart palps, and bad muscle weakness and pain, | Was fine the first two days using a puff per nostril 2x a day, the the third day day had a horrible headache (never get headaches) heart started racing while laying down, muscle weakness in legs, then that night did not sleep a wink! the next day my shoulder hurt so bad, thght that I had smashed into something, the horrible headache came back, I knew it must be the nasonex, found this site and know that it definitely was! Horrible stuff!! | F | 44 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 8/14/2011 | 1 | chronic sinus | extremely itchy all over the head. Palpitations.Depression. insommnia, vision disturbance & eye pressure. After reading other peoples probems have discontinued immediately. | F | 63 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/22/2011 | 1 | Blocked ears | I felt very weak. My legs would not carry me. My arms were numbs. My leg muscles were aching and weak. I had some flu like symptoms. It took a week to recover. I started again to check that it wasn't the nasal spray and it all started again. | F | 37 | 2 days 2X day | 7/17/2011 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Severe headaches sore throat thick mucus depression tingling and numbness in hands bloody nose ear infection | The more I use it the more severely clogged my nose gets making it impossible to breathe or stop using nasonex. This medication is not for me. | F | 34 | 30 days 2sprays 1X day | 7/5/2011 | 1 | hayfever | Stiff, sore neck and back. Heart palpitations. | This drug should be removed from the marketplace immediately! Class action suit anyone? | M | 37 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/1/2011 | 1 | Sinus Pressure/Allergies | I used this product 1 day. The physcian who prescribed this poison did not ask if I had any viral issues like herpes! Which now I know you should never take this medicine. It has started frenzy of issues in my body. Immediately within 24 hours I developed cold sores. The next week severe muscle twiches and muscle weakness that has not stopped at all for the past two weeks since taking two spray in each nostril. Now I am having trouble with some numbness on the left side of my face, my eye on that side hurts, my neck and shoulders hurt. My body feels sore all over when i get up every morning. I am having extreme anxiety, nervousness and can't sleep. I believe it may be time to really push for the FDA to take this off the market. I can feel a suit coming eventually. | Dont take it under any circumstances. Its a poison and they are playing with peoples lives. | F | 41 | 1 days 40 mg 2X day | 6/25/2011 | 1 | Allergies | Can't sleep for over 7 hours and I cannot take any naps. Mild depression. | M | 31 | 3 months 2X W | 6/23/2011 | 1 | nasal congestion | severe burning of throat and esophagus | I was not given proper instructions and I burned my throat and esophagus to the point that I am now gargling with Lidocaine for pain relief. I have blisters on my tonsils and now they expect thrush. I would not recommend this medication | F | 53 | 7 days 60 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps | Throat numbness, headaches, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, serious recurring sinus infections, loss of sense of smell and insomnia if used before bed. | Prescribed by an ENT, I used Nasonex for almost two years. It was initially effective for the nasal stuffiness, although it left me shaky with moderate heart palpitations and shortness of breath for up to a couple of hours after use. Eventually I experienced complete loss of the ability to smell anything at all. The ENT said that the anosmia was due to the polyps NOT the Nasonex and even with surgery was probably irreversible. About a month ago (May of 2011) I caught my first real cold virus in a number of years and quit using the Nasonex because I was just too sick and the congestion made it impossible to spray anything into my nose. After about five days I was feeling better and thought about going back to my usual allergy routine however I woke up one morning with the beginnings of a sense of smell which improved throughout the day until I was able to smell things for the first time in a couple of years. I have not restarted the Nasonex, my sense of smell seems to have returned permanently, and it isn't making any difference to my allergies which it seems are well controlled by the other prescriptions of Astepro and Ipatropium Bromide. No more headaches, no more palpitations or shortness of breath when climbing my stairs, insomnia is gone and I could almost cry for happiness about being able to smell again. While the idea of having these polyps is kind of creepy, the feeling is diminished by actually being able to smell a rose as well as increased enjoyment of food | F | 68 | 2 years 50 mg 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | allergies--sinus congestion | headache, sinus pressure, vertigo, shoulder and neck pain, mild nausea, other digestive problems, lethargy. | After using this medication for the past several months I began to develop daily headaches accompanied by the other problems that I listed. I started to get very concerned that there might be something seriously wrong until I occured to me that the use of Nasonex after a time might be causing my symptoms. After looking at this website, which I have done before for other medications, I realized that many people cited the same or similar problems with their use of this medication. Well, now I began to realize that it is very possible/probable that this stuff is causing my problems. As of today, I'm quitting this and am eager to see how I feel after I've been off it for a while. From now on saline solutions only. Like many others, I am beginning to believe this stuff is poison. | M | 60 | 3 months 1X day | 6/12/2011 | 1 | Dust allergies/fluid in ears | Bloody discharge from left nasal passage. Heart palpitations. Irritability. Floaters and film in one eye. Olfactory disturbances. | I am a very healthy individual and take no other drugs, so my first instinct was to do a little research on Nasonex. I was quite surprised by all the negative side affects. Though I read the prescription insert, I was not prepared to experience so many reactions. Curious that some patients have not experienced any side effects and have benefited quite well. | F | 58 | 4 months 50mcg 1X day | 5/30/2011 | 1 | Dr. said "Allergies" | SEVERE laboured breathing, panic episodes, dizziness, minor bleeding nose. | I went to the doctor with bad post nasal drip and a clogged ear tube. He claimed it was allergies (though I told him I have had the same ear problem over and over and not during allergy season). He insisted that was the problem and instantly prescribed me Nasonex ($45.00) I used it a couple of time at night before I went to bed and noticed it almost immediately cleared up my nose drip. I used it for a few more nights and then one day I started getting extremely dizzy, to where I actually had to go and lay down to stop the dizziness. I went to a different doctor who said the dizziness was from my clogged ear. I went a couple of days without using it and the dizziness went away, I assumed my ear was getting better although it didn't feel unclogged at all. I went out of town for a weekend and noticed my "allergies" were really acting up, so I took Nazonex, for 3 nights straight and on the 4th day, I could barely walk a flight of stairs without struggling to breathe! I thought I was gonna die. When I returned home I continued with my Nazonex because it really did help with the nose drip and stuffiness. Then one day I had to episodes of severe trouble breathing. One when walking up a flight of stairs and one while loading my 2 year old in the car. That last one was really bad. I struggled to breath for a good 6 minutes and go so lightheaded that it started to get dark all around me and I almost passed out. My left arm also started to hurt and then my hand w | F | 36 | 2 weeks 1X day | 5/30/2011 | 1 | Nasal polyps | Where do I begin?? Over the past two years, I've developed a number of symptoms that have gotten worse. Severe dry eyes (had to use eye drops), super dry/dehydrated skin, dry mouth, constipation, anxiety, weight gain of 15 pounds, swollen face/extremities, high blood pressure (normal range, but mine has always been LOW). The list goes on. Assured by the ENT, my primary doctor, and the Internet that there are no side effects with Nasonex, I kept taking it. I was tested for Lyme disease, thyroid problems, anemia, and menopause (I'm 43) because I also had joint pain, depression and EXTREME fatigue. My mom mentioned that my face looked "puffy" and said, "maybe you're allergic to the Nasonex" (all medical tests came back negative). I stopped taking it. After what I now know were withdrawals (intense panic...) ALL THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN TO DISAPPEAR!!!!!!! After only 2 weeks, I didn't need eye drops, my watches fit again, I slept better, and lost 5 pounds. I have more energy | It's POISON!!!! | F | 43 | 2 years 2X day | 5/26/2011 |
