| 1 | Allergies | PLEASE read the three parts of my story if you are suffering from this drug | PART ONE: Please do not believe that this drug is harmless. I could write a book about the horrors this drug put me through. My doctor prescribed it long term, telling me that it was “harmless.” I took it for just over two years. At first it was a wonder drug. I could breath through my nose again and I didn’t have to spend my days with my nose clogged up. I also gained 25 pounds in those two years (and I’m very active) but just figured that it was part of the aging process. After about two years, I started to have vision problems and would shake uncontrollably in the morning (right around the same time I would take Nasonex). Shortly after this, my vision became permanently foggy and I began to get headaches that forced me to book off work. I suspected that it was the Nasonex but my doctor told me that I had anxiety and that I should see a shrink—he said that there was no possible way Nasonex could cause any of these side-effects. As the symptoms got worse (constant tremors, migraines, vision problems, insomnia, night terrors, voices) I decided to quit Nasonex. Within a week, I was suicidal, depressed, and so lost that I considered quitting the job I loved, leaving the woman of my dreams, and ending it all. In short, I had been a VERY happy and relatively stress-free guy, and here I was, ready to pack it in. Within a month, I had barely eaten and lost over 30 pounds. My wife was very worried but supportive and she took me to another | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Allergies, Nasal congestion. | Dizziness,Headaches,Blurred vison, Cant focus,stomach pain, sore throat. | Dont take this.. i've been taking it for about oh.. A little over a week and about 4 days ago I started getting really dizzy and now its getting worse. My stomach started to hurt, and my breathing was getting messed up. I will not take this again. | F | 14 | 11 days 2X day | 9/27/2010 | 1 | Sinus infection | I will NEVER USE THIS AGAIN - two trips to emergency - heart issues, SEVERE HEAD ACHES, And many many more side effects What a bunch of crap. They should be sued. | F | 48 | 7 days 1 spray 2X day | 9/24/2010 | 1 | sinus headache/blocked ears | stomach pain, anxiety, obsessions, poor sleep, headaches, heart beating fast | will stop it immediately because I see the connection of all these symptoms | F | 67 | 4 weeks 2X AN | 9/18/2010 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Severe headaches, bizzare and vividly detailed dreams, unbearable pressure in head, increased sinus problems, and I believe, the onset of vertigo. | Week 1:No effect, positive or negative Beginning of week 2: I began feeling worse and wondered if the Nasonex was causing it. End of week 2: Terrible headaches, increased sinus problems, increased pressure in ears and head. I decided to stop taking Nasonex. The following night I came down with vertigo. Extreme dizziness, nausea, room spinning, inability to keep balance, etc. Week three: Went to GP and ENT and they said to keep taking the Nasonex. I went back on it and the symptoms got much worse. I could not stay balanced, my head felt like it would explode, and my sinuses were painful. Words cannot describe how bad I felt. I was sure I had a brain tumor or aneurism. Week Four: I am convinced that Nasonex is from hell. I quit taking it and over the next three days the symptoms lessened. I am into day 5 of being off Nasonex right now and I am still experiencing dull headaches, and bouts of dizziness and nausea associated with vertigo but not anywhere near as bad as when I was taking it, Conclusion: This is an awful drug. I would say that the illness CAUSED by this evil in a bottle is ranked in the top 3 of the worst things that have ever happened to me physically. The other things as bad or worse that Nasonex for me were: 1) Horrible car accident 2.) Chicken pox as an adult 3.) Mono and Nasonex side effects are tied. | M | 43 | 28 days 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Palpitations, Short of Breath, Fatigue, Insomnia | Holy moly ... I will never take this again. My HR shot up, I couldn't get the breath I wanted all day and night despite being 100% oxygenated, I was tired like i had a cold and I haven't slept since the first dose - terrible drug, I feel as though i have the flu. Doctors need to educate themselves on SE - did nettipot saline solution and it worked much better ... stay away from Nasonex | M | 23 | 3 days 30mg 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | allergies | Severe headache, severe muscle ache, cramping, couldn't walk well, affected right side of my body, blood pressure 180/100, right eye drooped, extreme pain, could not function | Will never take a steroid again! | F | 43 | 1 days 2 sprays 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | allergies | Panic attack, migraines, bronchial spasm. | First off, my idiot doctor didn't tell me I should only take it for two weeks, so I ended up taking it longer than that. When I was on Nasonex I had a massive panic attack and migraine. I also had a bronchial spasm shortly after starting nasonex. I went to the hospital two times within a one month period. I still feel the side-effects of Nasonex after being off it for almost a month now. I strongly recommend that no one take this poison. | F | 18 | 50 mcg 2X day | 9/16/2010 | 1 | nasal congestion | sneezing as soon as i used it and dryed out my nose..didnt do a thing to help me, only made it feel stuffier. | F | 49 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/30/2010 | 1 | seasonal allergies | sleeplessness, agressiveness, dizziness, feeling like passing out, rapid heartbeat and feeling like you are totally wasted. | nearly passed out at work this week and was taken to the dr....was diagnosed as having a viral infection and was sent home....came on here to check on the side effects and found out my symptoms are just like everyone else has...no more nasonex for me | M | 45 | 1X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | allergies/sinuses | headaches/I become aggressive/stoped using when between the bridge of nose and eye veins broke leaving my right looing like someone had hit me. Also lost weight as food tasted so bad. | Not for me I am using nasel strips at night and this helps alot would not touch nasonex no matter what. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X day | 8/24/2010 Patient History | 1 | seasonal allergies | This website was very helpful. Finally figured out my side effects are attributed to this med. Anxiety, trouble getting to and staying asleep, headache that is not treatable. An overall 'bewildered' feeling and I am a high functioning person. | Used this during allergy season. Worked very well on symptoms but not worth the side effects, now that I have figured this out. | F | 58 | 1 years 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | headaches on the right side and back of the head, dizziness, loss of balance, blurred vision, irritability, tingling sensation in head, lightheadedness, ear pain | Posted previously on 07/21/10. Stopped taking Nasonex on 07/14/10 - still exoperiencing headaches and dizziness, ear pain caused by fluid buildup in ear. Its getting better slowly. I never imagined these horrible side effects would last this long. Just hoping they will eventually go away. Would never recommend this medicine to anyone. By the time I started having these side effects, the medicine was built up in my system, taking forever for the side effects to get better. Have gone through hell for the past 2 months! Anyone know how long these side effects last? | F | 40 | 3 months 2X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | anxiety, headaches, insomnia, visual disturbance | After a week of using this twice a day, I started to have visual problems and severe anxiety and mood swings. Dr. prescribed Xanax and said that steroids can cause a reaction like this but that she had never heard of it happening with nasal steroids. So glad I found this site so I know it is not just me!! I have been off the Nasonex for approximately a week and am starting to feel better but not back to normal. I will NEVER take this again and would NEVER recommend it to anyone. | F | 36 | 7 days 2X day | 8/12/2010 | 1 | Sinus/allergies | Fatigue, depression, irritability, extreme anxiety | Worked effectively for the sinuses and allergies but the side effects made it impossible to continue. I was miserable and it was insidious until the irritability and anxiety kicked in. I will never take this again!! Glad I figured it out, saved me a trip the psychiatrist! Felt better as soon as it was discontinued, 5 days to normal. | F | 59 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I would wake-up in the morning with terrible head-aches as if i drank 12 beers the night before. The back of my skull felt like it was going to pop-off. Also, on other nights, i would wake-up to terrible re-occuring nightmares. If it wasnt a nightmare then it would be a vivid, intense, and very stressful dreams. | My Dr. prescribed this to me for a constant post nasal drip problem. I have never had side effects from other medicines. | M | 42 | 1 months 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | allergy | Light headed, can't sleep and racing heart. Headache and funny taste in my mouth. Having seen the other posts I will stop taking this med and hope the side effects go away ASAP. I feel terrible | F | 55 | 35 days 4X day | 7/29/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | head pressure, especially on the right side, severe dizziness-so bad I couldn't drive, balance and vision problems, headaches | Started noticing symptoms after about 2 months of use. Have stopped taking it now. It's been a week, but still having the side effects. Does anyone know how long it takes to go away? | F | 40 | 3 months 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 1 | Constant clogging in one nostril | Horrible. Thought I was having a flu come on late in the second week. Sore throat, felt like swollen glands, blinding headache, body pains and finally nose bleed. Side effects are so bad they don't respond to Tylenol and was only able to get a few hours of relief when using 800mg of ibuprofen. Also trouble sleeping - like anxiety. I have been off Nasonex now for 3 days and the headaches and throat issue have not subsided. Happy I found this site because I felt like this was never going to end. | The reaction to this is so bad that I will likely never take a nasal spray again. I think they need to do more trials on this product because the percentages of people they say that have the side effects don't appear to be consistant with how many people are posting problems. This product should be pulled from the market pending further studies. | F | 34 | 2 weeks 2 sprays 2X day | 7/19/2010 | 1 | Tinnitus | Started out that I was impressed with the effect it had on my tinnitus. After taking it for two weeks, I started with very bad headaches, chest pain and heart attack type of symptoms. | My ENT Doc prescribed Nasonex after being on beconase for many years. He wanted me to try something "stronger" for my tinnitus and defective eustachian tube. | M | 61 | 14 days 2X day | 7/15/2010 |
