I've posted a couple of times before. I stopped taking nasonex on 07/14/10. I'm still dealing with these problems. Everything has gotten much better than it originally was, but none of it has gone completely away. I have been miserable since June. I would discourage anyone from ever using this drug. By the time you realize what's going on it's too late. Your life has been destroyed! I've been to the doctor more in the past 5 months than I have in my entire life combined. Stay away from this poison! | F | 41 | 3 months 2X day | 11/7/2010 | 1 | sinusitis | Massive headache, nausea and neck ache. | Massive headache from back of neck to temples, around the eyes, jaw muscles, behind the eyes and jaw muscles.

I am on day two without using it at all and I am experiencing anxiety, sweaty palms, jitters, jaw soreness, and a general light headedness. My doctor believes these are withdrawal symptoms and that they should go away in 2 weeks. We will see. I would have to say that I have had less ear pressure and pain, less dizziness, and little vertigo since taking Nasonex less. I will update in one week. | Follow up to my post on 10/27/10. | F | 28 | 5 years 2 squirts 1X day | 11/3/2010 | 1 | Fluid buildup in ears | My eyes focus very slowly, vision is very spotty, vivid dreams, feel "spaced out", Moody. | F | 41 | 6 days 25 2X day | 10/31/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Visual disturbance,fatigue,dry eyes,frequently going to the bathroom,itchy skin | I was prescribed this by my doctor,i didn't think a nasal spray would be causing these symptoms,luckily i googled it and found this site! I'm now putting it all together and the symptoms are exact to mine! I had bad sinus before taking Nasonex,and it deffinetly cleared up my sinuses,but it is so not worth the negative side affects! i stopped taking it lastnight....I still feel the effects today but im hoping they will disappear shortly,as it is affecting my work and social life! | F | 21 | 1.5 months 50mg 2X day | 10/27/2010 | 1 | Allergies, Sinus Infections | dizziness, vertigo, clouded thinking, feeling of fainting, anxiety, panic attacks, ear and sinus pressure, ear ringing, jaw pressure, numbness in hands, loss of taste, dried blood when blowing nose, nausea | I've been on nasonex on and off for five years and regularly for two years. I had multiple sinus infections and was relieved to have my doctor prescribe Nasonex for daily use initially. It definitely cleared my sinuses and my sinus infections became less frequent. In December 2009, I experienced what my doctors thought was a migraine headache- spotted vision, dizziness, vertigo, and a drop in blood pressure. I began to develop anxiety to what I thought were migraine symptoms. I became afraid to be at work, to drive, and to be in public because I thought I was going to faint. Recently, my vertigo has taken the form of my head feeling that it is being pushed to one side. After visiting my doctor, an ear/nose/throat, an allergist, and a headache specialist I just happened to type in Nasonex and side effects and found this website. I am going to begin titrating myself off of this medication tonight. Before 1-2 years ago, I was a healthy and happy person. Since then I've been dizzy, barely made it standing up in two weddings because I felt so dizzy and nauseous, and started seeing a therapist because I thought I had severe anxiety. I am a therapist myself and thought I was going crazy and didn't understand why. I had no idea that this medication was a steroid. Thank you to everyone that has posted on this site about their experience! | F | 28 | 5 years 1X day | 10/27/2010 | 1 | (partner) to help with anger. | headache | my partner got prescription for this drug off his doctor after he went to get help for anger...the doctor told him due to him always being bungged up, having sleepless night, and eating inaproprated meal aday that this should help! hes 90% surton that this drug will helpwith his anger...now idont agree! i cant work out why a hayfever drug will help with anger plz can some1 help me on this.. | F | 22 | 2X day | 10/21/2010 | 1 | ALERGIC RHINITIS | I ALSO HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF SMELL & TASTE....BE IT THE MOST DELICIOUS DESSERT OR A WELL-BREWED COFFEE....PLEASE HELP I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO BACK TO SMELLING & TASTING. I HAVE STOPPED USING NASONEX. | F | 27 | 6 months 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 1 | allergies, stuffy nose | nauseated, constantly ringing ears, lump in throat, irritable, blurred vision. | At first I did not want to use this drug because it is a steroid, but I could not breathe through my nose due to allergies. Nasonex cleared my nose almost immediately, however, the side effects were horrible (nausea, constant ear ringing, hard to swallow, irritability, blurred vision, to name a few!). Like most drugs, this is POISON and unnatural for the human body. I am tossing it in the trash where it belongs! And I am returning to solving my health issues through natural healing. Check your local health food store for help before putting a dangerous substance into your body. | F | 59 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 10/15/2010 | 1 | sinus congestion | Insomnia, sore throat, flu like symptoms, tired all the time | After feeling horrible for some time, I decided that I should look into side effects of nasonex since it is the only drug I take. I was absolutely shocked to see my symptoms (sore throat, lethargic, insomnia, flu-like symptoms & mood swings) were listed on this site. | F | 61 | 2 sprays 1X day | 10/11/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | headaches, pressure in the ears, dizziness, panic attacks, sleep disturbances. | A&E twice, brain scan, as the pain experienced was terrible. this drug strips the body of magnesium so if you have experienced side effects please take magnesium and do not stop this drug instantly as this will cause even worse side effects cut down the drug slowly. | F | 40 | 6 months 30mg 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | Allergy symptoms, stuffy nose | Insomnia, depression, loss of interest in things I normally love to do. Loss of smell diminished sense of taste. | A few weeks ago I couldn't stand the depression and lying awake at night anymore. So I started thinking about what I was doing differently, Nasonex was the only thing different. So I went to my computer, and found insomnia and mood swings as a side affect of Nasonex. I immediately discontinued use, and as time goes on I still have depression, anger, irritability and NO sense of smell. I pray to God these symptoms go away very soon. | F | 48 | 4 months 50 mcg 1X day | 10/7/2010 | 1 | Allegies | Please read my story if you are suffering side effects from this drug. Apologies it's in three parts but there's a character limit. Parts one and two are below... | PART 3 of 3: I believe that this is a great short-term allergy relief drug for some people but please please please re-consider taking it for more than 6 weeks. If you do decide to go long term, don’t quit cold turkey if you start developing the same type of symptoms that I had—taper it off slowly. If you’re currently reading this and you are going through the same thing, please know that it will get better. I know what sleepless nights, dark thoughts, and shakes feel like. I know that you might not be able to eat but hang in there. It will get better. Withdrawal sucks but try not to stop doing the things you love. You’re not crazy. One day, you’ll look back and pass on the same advice to the next poor sucker going through this. Now shut down the internet, drink some juice, go for a walk, and tell yourself that it will be over soon. If you’re walking through hell—keep walking, you’re bound to come out on the other side. | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 1 | allergies | Please read the three parts to my story... | PART 2: My wife was very worried but supportive and she took me to another doctor. That doctor recognized my story as a previous patient of his had gone through a similar ordeal. We did a million tests but his main recommendation was to see a naturopath who had helped his previous patient. She put me on a simple diet and vitamin regimen. She told me that this would take at least five months to clear and put me in touch with two other people who had nearly identical histories with Nasonex. To make a long story short, these two strangers helped me through what I now know was a serious withdrawal from this drug. After a few months, the headaches begin to disappear, the shaking stopped, and my vision was mostly back to normal. Although we were all at different stages, all three of us took a year to get to the point where we felt that we were almost 100% better. I am writing this because I know what long-term use of this drug can do and I want to let people (especially parents) know that this is not a simple and harmless drug, it is a powerful medication with potentially horrific side-effect. Doctors will tell you that this is only anecdotal evidence but please ask them to produce a clinical study with trial subjects who took this drug for more than 40 days. They can’t. | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 10/2/2010 | 1 | sinusitis, allergies | Dizziness jittery,, anxiety, nervousnous, | i have been on Nasonex for almost 2 months, for chronic sinusitis, I thought i was going to have a nervous breakdown, I have had such pressure in my head, anxiety attacks are horrible, i thought there was something seriously wrong with me, im so glad i came across this site, i was going to pick up another script for this, Never again, I have had a feeling of being nervous for no reason, i cant believe they allow this on the market, No wonder my Doctor keeps giving it to me im not getting any better, im just making him rich, and myself crazy | M | 40 | 2 months 50 mg 2X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Confusion, Light-headedness and lots more and the worst of it was - ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS | I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS EVEN IF MY DOCTOR SAYS THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS | M | 45 | 2X day | 9/30/2010 |
