| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Sinusitis | Nose bleeds, mouth ulcers, weeping eyes, severe sore throat | I can't believe that a drug this volatile can be on general prescrition. | M | 48 | 3 days 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | I experience major anxiety while on this medication. Eventually had an anxiety attack that sent me to the hospital. After discontinuing Nasonex the anxiety has diminished more and more each day. It is AMAZING that no official Nasonex literature talks about the anxiety this drug induces. | I would NEVER recommend this drug to anyone! | M | 46 | 6 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | Blocked, stuffy sinuses | bloody nose,hoarseness, post-nasal drip, constant infections and flu symptoms, conjuctivitis | I had a respiratory bug back in January, got all stuffed up, and my doctor (back-up doctor) gave me Nasonex. Now I see she NEVER should have. I have been sick with low-grade infections, fever blisters and conjuctivitis all winter. I couldn't figure out why I was catching everything. I recently contracted a virus so bad I landed in the hospital with 104 fever, chills, dehydration. I don't think the Nasonex GAVE me that virus, but now I see (too late) that it can lower your body's ability to fight infection, which explains everything. | F | 53 | 3 months 2 spritz 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | chronic sinusitis | This is the 2nd time I have gone on Nasonex and have had the same thing so many of you described both times. The weirdest pressure in my head, feeling lightheaded and totally spaced out, heart racing, hands trembling, CRAZY anxiety - I honestly thought I had sudden onset of a mental health problem. And the same thing happened during my vacation in Hawaii last year... It ruined my holiday, and I thought I had to go on anxiety meds. Totally irrational. It only just dawned on me that it could be the Nasonex b/c I started a new round of them ~5 days ago,and am experiencing the same thing. I stayed home from work today I felt so out of it. | I just have such a hard time understanding how these side effects are not published. I would be skeptical if I wasn't having such intense reaction to it myself, with so many of you having the same thing. | F | 26 | 5 days 2 sprays 2X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | Nasal Inflammation | My 5 year old was prescribed Nasonex for nasal inflammation due to a mild cat allergy. She became aggressive; kicking, hitting, screaming at people. She would have highs and lows through the day. One moment she was happy as could be and the next she would start sobbing. | This stuff is awful. I threw out the bottle and took her to a homeopath for a natural allergy clearing. It worked great!! Avoid any steroid spray. Doctor said there would be no side effects what a crock. | F | 34 | 14 days 15 1X day | 4/30/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Shortness of breath, tight throat, tight chest, tiredness, diziness | Within 2 days I could finally breathe again like a normal person. Also no sneezing at all, no nothing. But also felt very tired and izzy after starting taking it and one week before finishing the treatment I was really having shortness of breath and chest tightness. I thought my allergy turned into asthma or that I'm having panic attacks. I was really scared until I read this. It's been a week after I finished the treatment and still have shortness of breath and tight throat and chest. I really hope it will go away soon. I wish I knew about these side effects earlier. Two years ago I took Flixonase and it was very good and didn't have any side effects. | F | 33 | 30 days 2X day | 4/22/2010 | 1 | allergies | light headedness, dizziness, nervousness and anxiety-- especially when driving, unable to focus, fatigue | My doctor prescribed Nasonex about three years ago. I only take it seasonally--spring and fall, two sprays in each nostril once a day. I started again this March. I was fine the first couple of weeks, however, for the past two weeks, I have had these very weird feelings--light headedness,; anxiety, feeling like I'm going to pass out or fall asleep while driving. Also, it's hard for me to focus mentally-as if my head is in a fog. This happened several times while out shopping in a big open space like Target or Walmart. This is a very frightening experience. I'm so glad that I came upon this website. I am healthy-physically and mentally and have never felt anxiety before. I am going to stop taking Nasonex. | F | 44 | 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 1 | I had sinus surgery Dr prescribed | Dry mouth, nose bleeds dry eyes couldn't sleep I lost all sense of smell and taste, I told the Dr this stuff should be pulled from the market. It's been almost 2 yrs, and still have no smell or taste. | M | 59 | 2 months ?? 1X day | 4/2/2010 | 1 | allergy | Side effects were terrible, extreme anxiety, depression, felt like I was dying, weakness, loss of appetite..shortness of breath | This drug should never be used in children...I would suggest further testing by the FDA. | M | 57 | 6 days 2X day | 3/30/2010 | 1 | Chronic allergies / Sinusitis | Severe tremors, heart racing, kept waking up at night, migraine headaches, pain in knees, sore throat & trachea feels like razor blades in there, cough, chest tightness, pressure behind eyes, nausea, diarrhea, burning sensation in upper back, anxiety. Stopped taking this drug. Going back to my OTC allergy med & natural remedies. Mild side effects may occur my eye! This stuff is scary! Thought I was going to have a heart attack last night. But strangely enough none of these side effects are listed on any websites when I was researching this drug. I am writing the FDA about this. Never again. Acupuncture & Yoga here I come, don't need to be poisoned by Big Pharma anymore! Took this drug for 10 days last year & couldn't even breathe through my nose at all, it was horrible. | A good way to flush this stuff out is make a warm tea of honey & 2 & a half tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Drink twice a day. When you start to feel better go down to once a day. It helps with sinusitis as well. I drink it every day. | F | 41 | 2 days 200 mcg 1X day | 3/21/2010 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Major headache (whole head hurt), eye pain, Day 2 Hives outbreak | DO NOT TAKE THIS MED!!! | F | 38 | 2 days 30 1X day | 3/20/2010 | 1 | sinus problems | Wthin 4 hours of taking this drug I started getting a rush all over my left arm and back. Then it followed the extremely sore throat and an agonising cough.I have not been able to sleep now for the last three nights. I went back to see my doctor but even him did not have a clue what was going on so he decided to prescribe some anti-histamine tablets which have not helped at all. The thought of swallowing anything is petrifying as it feels very much like razor blades cutting my throat to pieces.The breathing gets worse as the day progresses into the evening and then the sleepless night! Back to the doctor tomorrow hopefully to get some kind of antibiotics to clear this mess! | More research should be done about this drug before doctors prescribe it freely to patients. | M | 53 | 1 days 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Was put on nasonex about 3 months ago for nasal congestion. Dr. gave me a refillable prescription. | Went for a physical last month and blood pressure was in the danger zone 155/80. At first I didn't link it to Nasonex and just thought I might have to be on BP meds if this continues. Last week I started to look at nasonex side effects and found this site. I stopped using nasonex last wed and my BP are slowly getting better. Looked up nasonex's website and there's no mention of elevated BP as a side-effect. But if you look up side-effects of glucocorticoid steroids: irregular heartbeat and elevated bp is one of the major ones. Wonder if we can sue nasonex for this!? | M | 31 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 3/10/2010 | 1 | fractured nose --> Swollen tissue | Head aches, slight burning in nose, bloody nose when blowing onto tissue paper, insomnia, depresion, feeling 'spaced out', breathing difficulties leading to panic attacks. | I posted on 12/6/2009, describing these side effects. Due to Nasonex, or not, I've been diagnosed with excersize-enduced asthma. I've never had it before, and I find it a bit too coincedental that I've been diagnosed with that just after I've finished Nasonex. Be very careful when using this product. | F | 20 | 5 weeks 2X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | congestion | Sore throat, ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | I have had congestion problems which led to breathing problems and this was going on for about a 20 year period. I have begun to live with it. I have tried many different medicines but no relief. I have tried Nasonex and was experiencing all kinds of problems. I have been doing yoga (Kapalbhaati) since the last 7 months and all my congestion and breathing problems are gone! Lots of energy now. | M | 38 | 2 months 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | I posted 1/24/10. Since then it took two weeks to get to normal moods and the energy i had returned. Im back to six miles a day running and free weights every other day with 100 situps and 50 pushups with each workout everyday. Im 49. I did this work out program since i was 17 and i was down to barely a walk two times a week. Nasonex was going to slowly kill me and i didnt even think it was that. I looked like i had track marks on my arms i was alway sick no energy and you can read the post on 1/24. The big difference is i purchased a netti pot at walmart for 14 dollars (neilmed brand its there only one) and after stareing at it for 3 days and thinking it would make me vomit or water was going to go in and explode my head i finally did it. And there is no going back to poisonex ever again. I cant believe how great i can tastes food and smell smells i have been missing. And my ears the big thing i can hear soooooo great i cant tell you how good it feels.They pop normaly i can hear highs | I will never use nasonex or any drug in my body for my ears or sinus ever again unless ther is a culture done and it shows a need for drugs. I also told my doctor and fired him after 26 years of non stop blood test nasal probes and different drugs. | M | 49 | 9 months 2 Squirts 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 1 | Loss of sense of smell | Lethargic, nauseous every day now, appetite supressed as a result, generally feeling awful! | I couldn't figure out why I was starting to feel so unwell, particularly as I was eating well and exercising (New Year Resolution). I can only assume it is Nasonex. It also amazes me to read that others have lost their sense of smell since taking Nasonex - I was under the impression it may have helped me recover mine! Which it hasn't! | F | 48 | 21 days 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 1 | Ear Infection | Sinuses cleared up, but at the cost of EXTREME headaches, nausea, nose bleed, inability to sleep for more than 2hrs, nightmares, and became very easily agitated | Doctor gave me a free sample of Nasonex because my ear infection was causing my sinuses to swell up. The 4 days of taking nasonex was amongst the worst 4 days of my life. | M | 30 | 4 days 2sprays 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 1 | sinus headaches | I ended up developping tons of pressure in my head, difficulty to swallow, shortness of breath, redness in neck, and fainted. It felt like I was having a heart attack and needed to be rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Felt better after 2 hours. Will go for acupuncture instead of taking meds for sinus headaches from now on. The strange thing is, I took Nasonex in Nov. 2009 without problems. | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 2/12/2010 | 1 | hay fever/allergies | extreme headaches, blurred vision, nausea | I started taking Nasonex at the recommendation of my doctor. My allergy symptoms went away immediately and I was thrilled! However, within 3 days I had what I thought was a migrain. I haven't been able to get the headache to go away but it does dim somewhat with OTC mecication. I didn't connect it to the medicine until yesterday when I started doing some research. I just found this site and I am floored at the number of people suffering from the same symptoms. As soon as I get home my Nasonex is going in the trash. I hope my headache goes away soon. | F | 39 | 2 weeks 2X day | 2/10/2010 |
