| 1 | Allergic rhinitus | Building side effects over 2 months. Began w/ constant headache. Increased heart palpitations. So much that I ran off to cardiologist just to be sure things were ok. Building insomnia. Next came ears. My ears would open/close or feel as though they were being pressurized, to the degree of airplane flight. I steadly became increasingly fatigued. Meanwhile the other things were worstening. I became depressed and moody. Then I started with intermittant dizziness that grew into steadily worstening loss of balance. Then added to that I began to feel as though my head was swimming all the time. I was absolutley convinced that I had a brain tumor. | I stopped Nasonex..not because of knowing about it's side effects, but because I figured that PERHAPS the reason for the migraines was dry sinuses, and that the migraines were causing the other symptoms. After a week off Nasonex, everything stopped.I feel normal. I'm glad I found this database! It totally validates everything I've been feeling since May. I have a stuffy nose, but I feel normal again. I'll be going to discuss this w/ my ENT next week. | F | 45 | 2 months 1 puff/nos 2X day | 7/10/2010 | 1 | after surgery for sinus infections | Starting having headaches, and sleeplessness but the worst thing was anxiety and depression to the point of ending my life. I see hommeopathic doctors which are great!! Couldn't figure out what was wrong, well after reading all these posts I am STOPPING the nasonex. I was s chocked when I read them all and it was like i was reading about myself. | If you are lucky enough to have access to a Naturalpathic Dr. DO IT! I live in AZ. and have a great one. Also use a netti pot and saline sprays daily. | F | 52 | 2 months 30 1X day | 7/2/2010 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | I am SO relieved to see all these comments! Now I know its not just "me". I was given this medicine by my ENT, never once warned of any side effects! He even said it wasn't a steroid. I found relief within the first two or three days, but started having some crazy things going on. I began to feel light-headed-like I was going to faint-my vision started blurring-my nose felt weird to the touch-like it was rubber-& the headache OMG! I went to the ER twice with severe pains in my head-CT scans were normal both times,& I was sent back home on pain meds, only to have the agony return as soon as the meds wore off! My ears hurt & my throat is raw when I wake up in the mornings (I take it at bedtime). My husband says I am IRRITABLE,& he is right-the slightest thing sets me off (which is VERY unlike me) but I don't know why.I don't understand where this "sudden" feeling of anger comes from! I feel like I am struggling to breathe-walking up the stairs makes | Think it works great as far as what it is meant to do with the nasal passages, but is HORRIBLE for the side effects! I think it is dangerous and should be taken off the market!!!! | F | 38 | 4 weeks 2X day | 6/26/2010 | 1 | sinus problem and tinnitus! | I thought I was going literally MAD. Panic attacks, made my tinnitus worse! head in a vice feeling, teeth grinding made worse, almost heart attack like symptoms, bright lights in my eyes whenever I look up down left or right, insomnia, no appetite, moody, mood swings, confusion, cannot concentrate, wake up with a hangover but I do not drink! headache all day, paranoia. Sounds like I am milking it but believe me you just try this for a week and read all the statements on this website my Doctor said nothing to me at all said it was fine! All started when taking this drug so I typed into the internet nasonex and hey presto. Been taking for only 4 weeks but it is intense. Started taking as my doctor thought my tinnitus could be caused by sinus problems and this could clear it up but it made everything worse and more! Stopped only today still feeling crazy. Hopefully out of my system ASAP. No more needs to be said. | M | 21 | 4 weeks 18g 1X day | 6/26/2010 | 1 | Severe Hayfever | Severe visual 'blurring' could not read or focus on TV. Shortness of breath, tight chest and difficulty catching breath, lack of sleep, wheezing. Dihorrhea. | Stopped the hayfever, but too concerned about regular or permanent eye damage (leaflet mentions Glaucoma in allergic reactions) and almost asthma attack caused, so will stop taking. Would rather have hayfever or drowsiness than this. | M | 38 | 2 days 140 2X day | 6/16/2010 | 1 | Allergies | Nasonex raised my blood pressure to 170/110; I experienced severe pain behind my eye & sharp headaches. I now have ringing in my ear, but don't know if it was caused by Nasonex | Doctors readily provide drugs without any warning they can cause dangerous side-effects. My son ended up in the hospital when he was a baby because of side-effects from an antibiotic. | F | 62 | 2 weeks 2X day | 6/15/2010 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | I've taken this drug for the summer when my allergies are acting up a lot (summer 2009 and summer 2010). I have very bad allergies, and so far this is the only drug that works. No more sneezing, no more runny eyes, etc. But, it made my life very miserable. I have nightmares, fatigue, depressive, you name it. It took a while until I realized what was happening. I stopped using it, and I already feel better. I guess it will take a few more good days until is completely out of my system. BEWARE ! | Does wonders for the allergy symptoms, but it will destroy your life. | M | 27 | 2 years 1 dose 1X day | 6/13/2010 | 1 | post nasal drip, coughing | Loss of taste & smell. Never have to blow your nose or sneeze.I only used it once a day. | after not taking it, post nasal drip starts, & slight sore throat & dull headache. Still can't smell or taste! Will not take this; I want to taste my food & smell again. | F | 61 | 2 weeks 50 mcg 2X day | 6/12/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Dry mouth, inability to sleep,high blood pressure, major headeaches, anxiety. | Never had highblood pressure before till i took nasonex. I'm getting off of it today. Never a bad taste in my mouth before like this. Thanks to everyone that posted | F | 39 | 1 months 50mg 2X day | 6/4/2010 | 1 | sinus/allergies | heart palpitation, mood changes, tired, depress, no sense of smell and nose bleed | F | 55 | 10 days 30 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 1 | Had allergies/flu & bronchal spasms | My head feels like it is going to explode and my face has already caught fire, my right eye and side of face/head in severe pain. Seriously worried as I had a meningioma on the right side of my brain, is it Nasonex or should I go see my neuro surgeon. | F | 45 | 2 weeks 50mcg 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | Nasonex changed the texture of the inside of my nasal passages. Best I can describe it - it felt like the rubbery skin of a Dolphin... or when I'd blow my nose the sides of my nostrils felt like basketballs rubbing together. | I stopped taking Nasonex as soon as I noticed these symptoms. It took nearly two years for my nasal passages to return to normal. Worst of all, the drug was completely ineffective in treating my symptons. You wonder how stuff like this gets FDA approval. | M | 50 | 1 weeks standard 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 1 | Sinus problem | The 2nd day of using this, I had a Migraine. The 5th day, I had 2 Migraines. The 7th day my throat and nasal passages were raw, with no cessasion to my sinus problems. I decided to stop using this preparation. On the 8th day (and not having used it for 24 hours), I got 3 Migraines. None since, thank goodness. | There's seems something wrong with the speed and severity with which this product affects the nervous system. I would recommend any still using it, to STOP immediately. | F | 60 | 7 days 50mg 2X day | 5/31/2010 | 1 | Nasonex | Having read the comments on this website, i am quite relieved in once sense to read the negative comments about this drug. Since taking the medication I have experienced mood swings, depression including palpitations, cold sweats, tingling sensation/aching joints and sore throat, lack of concentration, light headed, burning throat. Because this was recommended by the consultant I did not expect to receive these awful symptons and will now stop using this with immediate effect. | It seems to me that we, vulnerable patients are not adequately informed regarding this particular treatment and had I previously, I would not used this. | F | 45 | 4 weeks 1X day | 5/24/2010 | 1 | Rhinitis | Bitter taste, sore throat, ear ache, tinnitus, anger, agitation, anxiety, stomach bloating, facial bloating, fluid retention, diarohea, cramps | I was swapped from Beconase to Nasonex to treat long-term Rhinitis and improve problems I was having with blocked sinuses. Nasonex was not as effective as Beconase and had lots of side effects. I didn't actually realise that a nasal steroid could cause all of these problems until I came across this site and found out that other people have had the same experiences as me when taking Nasonex. My doctor didn't warn me about the side effects and there is nothing in the literature. I will never use this drug again. | M | 32 | 14 days 50MG 2X day | 5/24/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | My face feels like someone has it in a vice grip.My teeth hurt on the right side up and bottom. I put cold compresses on my face but nothing releaves this excrushiating pain. My whole right side of my head throbs and is raised. Oh!My *&*& it hurts!My face is hot to the touch, right side is 100% more affected than the left from my temple to the jaw line. | F | 44 | 10 days 2X day | 5/24/2010 | 1 | insomnia-didnt sleep for 3 days, panic attacks,palpatations,vomiting,going to the loo (both side)all night,anxiety, strange hungry feeling,eat then feel sick,hungover feeling, mad headcahes-mostly over leftside.breathing causing panic attacks. | came off nasonex 6 days ago,after stopping anxiety and sleep got worse-told dr,she at first didnt believe me-so showed her this sight.to many to be me!! she is going to report this product. today the 6th day is the first day i have started to feel normal.although my breathing is still a little weird. DR SAYS THIS PRODUCT STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM 5-10 DAYS MAX,AFTER STOP USING. I THINK IT SHOULD BE BANNED-SIDE EFFECTS WAY TOO SCARY. | F | 36 | 10 days 50 mg 2X day | 5/22/2010 | 1 | Allergies | depression, anxiety, nosebleeds, exhaustion, irritability, headache, very unfocused | I took Nasonex last spring and it helped a lot with my mold allergies which were causing me to snore and not sleep well. I started taking it again this year and I was exhausted and my nose was bleeding almost daily. For the past couple weeks I've been exhausted, didn't have the energy to do yoga or rock climb as much, had pressure in my head, not been able to focus, and been depressed. I'm a laid back person and yesterday I nearly started yelling at a co-worker, which I've never done before. Forgot to take my nasonex last night and I woke up feeling like a new person this morning. Good mood, good energy, ready to take on the world. Not taking the Nasonex any more. | M | 28 | 1 months 1 spray 1X day | 5/20/2010 | 1 | allergies | anger, moodiness, depression, extreme highs and lows, flushing, rash, sleeplessness | gave this medication to my five year old son for help with swollen tonsils and allergies. extreme behavior changes around day five! irritability, throwing things, anger, yelling and screaming, hitting his sister, crying at the drop of a hat. would NOT recommend this medication. very sorry i gave this to my child at the pediatrician's rec. cannot believe they do not list these potential side effects on the common drug store list. horrible. | F | 36 | 6 days 1X day | 5/19/2010 | 1 | asthma/sinus inflammation/allergy | crabby, edgy, smell and taste diminished, swollen tonsil and sore throat | everything got on my nerves; I screamed "Bite me!" at my son. Food didn't taste like anything; would wake in the night to a very sore throat, swollen tonsil | F | 57 | 4 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 5/10/2010 |
