| 1 | sinusitis | i only used once and i notice a terrible headache, ear pain and the most terrible thing is the loss of smell. i would not recomend this medicine at all. it can change your life in a very bad way. | F | 27 | 1 days 1X day | 2/9/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis/sinus infection | After 3 doses I had extreme throat pain (thought I had strep throat) and severe ear pain. Unfortunately I used one more dose after that before stopping use. I haven't used Nasonex in 3 days and the throat and ear pain has eased slightly but hasn't gone away. While using Nasonex I experienced pain in my arms and sore muscles. The arm and muscle pain has gone away but now to go along with the throat and ear pain I have viral pink eye and a nasty cough. All possible side effects I have since found out. | I would have dealt with the sinus pain and headaches had I known all the issues I would now suffer through from taking this medication. I will never use Nasonex again and am warning everyone I know. I will stick with my neti pot and saline sprays. This is the worst product out there. I have never had such a bad reaction to a product. | F | 36 | 2 days 50 MCG 2X day | 2/9/2010 | 1 | Sinus congestion | I start to lose my sense of smell after about 2 month use but didn't realise that it could be related to Nasonex. Now I cannot smell anything and I cannot taste food properly. So when I decide to check for Nasonex side effects, I am surprised that so many other people have the same experience. My doctor think it is a wonder drug and doubt that I can get any side effects. | Will definitely stop taking it | F | 49 | 3 months 50 2X day | 2/6/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | SEVERE headache after one dose. | Debilatating head pain that caused nausea and vomiting. Has been three days since first and only dose, headache is getting better slowly. Can now get relief with OTC pain relievers. Standing up and sudden head movements still causing pounding head pain. Did have some anxiety and moodiness. These symptoms improved after 36 hours of stopping Nasonex. Not worth taking. | F | 34 | 1 days 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | Tinnitus | Bloody snot, uncomfortably dry nose, headaches, nausea and heart palpitations | I went to the doctor complaining of a "wooshing" sound in one ear, he prescribed me steroids that didn't take it away so I went to an ENT who prescribed me more of the same steroids, antibiotics and nasonex... none of which helped. I ended up with all these side effects that i didn't have with the first round of steroids and i knew how my body reacted to antibiotics. After both of those were done i was still on the nasonex and the symptoms all continued. I finally quit taking it when I couldnt stand the pain in my nose and the bleeding. In the end I found out that all my ear issues stem from me breaking my jaw when I was four. | F | 25 | 17 days 50 MG 2X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | sinus infections | anxiety | my 3 year old was taking this for a month -- never has anxiety problems before but while taking it some anxiety kicked in now being off it -- the anxiety level has shoot thru the roof. anyone else have these issues with there children | F | 3 | 30 days | 2/1/2010 | 1 | Ear irritation, coughing | Sore throat on side of ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | Not sure if Nasonex is releasing some pathogens that were trapped in my ear, but I definitely feel a lot worse after taking it. | M | 36 | 2 days | 1/25/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Complete loss of smell & therefore 90% of taste | Stopped taking spray 5 Jan 2010 - still no change in ability to smell. Unable to smell even coffee beans, smoke etc. I hope that I will be able to regain my sense of smell - would not recommend this drug to anyone. | M | 65 | 14 days | 1/25/2010 | 1 | ear problems due to allergies | relief from symptoms but racing heart, increased anxiety, and raised blood pressure | the last time i saw my dr. before just a few months prior to starting this drug, my bp was 98/70. a couple of months after starting nasonex, i noticed i was having heart palpitations and what i can only desribe as near-panic attacks. i'd never experienced any problems like this before. also saw the dr. for another problem around that time, and my bp was 140/?. this persisted until i decided to test out the nasonex connection. i tapered myself off and sure enough felt normal again within a few weeks. bp is normal again, too. i think this drug is borderline scary. | F | 33 | 4 months | 1/24/2010 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | Hi i used this for years on and off no real problems except slight loss of taste and smell. This time it unclogged the tube but now i have a viral infection of the mouth my eyes were blurry and i was depressed as well as exausted. Have been off for a week and i already feel better mentaly but i still have the mouth sores.Im now on an anti viral med. My vision is improving and im not as tired as i was. I know it was the nasonex. I will never use again. | Bad stuff I would rather suffer. | M | 49 | 9 months | 1/24/2010 | 1 | severe sinus/allergies | Just realized that Nasonex is the cause of how I have been feeling. For the past week, I've had severe headaches. nausea and always is tired. I went to the ER several times in the past weeks b/c the pain was so unbearable, but still no answers. However, once I realized a side effect of Nasonex is headaches, I stopped taking it. My head still hurts though but not as bad as it did last week. I'm glad I found this website, I feel at ease knowing that this is the cause of my pain, now I just want to know how long these side effects last. | F | 26 | 1 months | 1/18/2010 | 1 | stuffy nose Rhinitis/Sinusitis | severe anxiety, panic attacks, couldn't sleep, trouble swallowing, only was getting 2 or so hours of sleep a night and going crazy. | This is my 2nd post.. I posted 1st on 1/13/10. I still had all the sleeping problems and panic attacks. On the 15th my anxiety carried over to the morning. I made an appt with my primary doctor at 10am that morning. I had a pulse of 132, my BP was 152/98 my temp was 99.7. I had all the proof that the nasonex was causing my problems but he really didn't believe me and diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and put me on prozac. My problems didn't start until i started using nasonex every night. I will never use it again and I wish I could say that my anxiety is gone since it has been like 6 since i stopped using it but its still there. This drug is evil. GO TO THE NASONEX WEBSITE AND SUBMIT YOUR SIDE EFFECTS TO THE FDA. IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE. Don't let your child use this spray. I have been using the Neti Pot, it helps to clear my nose. Good Luck.. | F | 30 | 10 days | 1/17/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | I am completely flabbergasted. My parents seem to have taken Nasonex without an issue but I had a lot of problems. After taking 2x twice a day for 2.5 days, things got worse quickly. The day after my first dose, I had heart palpitations and my leg muscles were sore. I continued to take it and could not sleep due to heart palp. The final day of taking it, I did not sleep at all. I have stopped since the final day and I am still fending off against the side-effects - anxiety, heart palp, lack of appetite. I should say that my sore legs are a bit better. | I am going back to the Doctor's to get a antibiotic to clear the sinus infection. I am going to continue to use the saline rinse. Please, save yourselves from this drug. The night after stopping, my heart was pounding so much and I was sweating so much I considered going to the ER. | M | 25 | 2.5 days | 1/15/2010 | 1 | allergy | HIVES!! | Felt worse after 1st dose. | M | 16 | 1 days | 1/14/2010 | 1 | Rhinitis/Sinusitis | Extreme anxiety and insomnia. Trouble swallowing. Blurred vision. I would only get 2-4 hours of sleep a night. Blood in mucus from nose and cough. A couple minor nosebleeds. My taste and smell are probably effected too, but the anxiety is what is killing me. I also feel palpitations and am having some sort of breathing issue while trying to fall asleep. | I googled "allergies and anxiety" the night before last while I couldn't sleep yet again and low and behold this website showed up. I am so thankful to have found it because I have been using Nasonex on and off for 3 years and am going through my second round of anxiety since then. I am just putting all this info together and stopped using the spray immediately. Last night was my first night not using the spray after using everyday for 10 days. I still had alot of trouble sleeping last night but managed to get 4 hours. I am still feeling anxious but maybe a little bit better. I am praying my symptoms go away. Like everybody else said- I will deal with my stupid stuffy nose in another way! Natural ways! Sinus irrigation and oil of oregano. | F | 30 | 10 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | chronic sinusitis | heart palpitations, pounding heart, uncomfortable feeling in my chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, hangover effect every morning, thicker sinus drainage with blood, no energy. Even slight exersion leaves me breatless. | Thought I was having heart trouble or perhaps anemic and was going to schedule an appt. with the Dr. Thank goodness I found this sight first. I quit as of yesterday. I'm sure it will be awhile before it is out of my body completely though. | F | 51 | 4 weeks | 1/13/2010 | 1 | vasomotor rhinitis | Nasonex, one squirt per nostril, pm: woke up with viscious headache and exhausted/tired/sleepy all day. This continued for three days straight before I figured out that it was the Nasonex. I figured out it might be the Nasonex. | Most people seem to complain about insomnia but it was the sudden, extreme headaches that clued me in. I did have some pretty vivid dreams so maybe Nasonex disrupts the sleep cycle in more ways than the ability to fall asleep/stay asleep. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/1/2010 | 1 | chronic rhinitis | Nasonex worked within two days. I was no longer sneeszing and coughing all morning and full of mucus. BUT after only 5 days (one puff a day), I had nosebleeds. My right nostril is now badly infected with possible ulcers and crusting, with pain. It is blocked with what looks like a red lump at the back. I'm now waiting to go back to the doctor to see what is happening. | F | 53 | 5 days | 12/27/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure | I only took Nasonex once and took the children's dose with Benedryl Thank God! I felt a tingeling in the back of my throat then could taste it after that I felt a strange sensation under my tongue. I went to bed and slept normally. The next morning I had a slight headache but as the day went on I developed a numbness in my face on the left side (the same side I had had the sinus pressure)! It felt like I had novacaine injection at the dentist! This numbness continued for most of the day. Now I have the pressure back on my face but after reading some of these comments, I am not taking any more and will call my doctor in the morning. | Thank you for this website!!!! | F | 57 | 1 days | 12/22/2009 | 1 | sinus infections | complete change in personality, being "spaced out", very tired but does not sleep, does not want to eat, crying all the time | my daughters dr. gave her the rx because she has been having non stop ear infections, she suggested this to help her sinus to possibly help her ears. she has only been taking it since monday, it is now saturday, and i actually forgot to give it to her two days. But ever since the first time I gave it to her she has changed her personality completly. she is just starring into space and acting like a zombie. She has woken up for the past 3 nights in a row and has been up for 3-4 hours. I can tell she is exhausted but she can't fall back asleep. I NEVER have problems getting her to sleep. she had a slight fever today. I became really worried especially because of the way she has been "spaced out", I decided to look some info up on the internet and have found others had the same thing. i feel aweful for giving this to her. i am stopping and calling my doctor first thing monday | F | 1 | 4 days | 12/20/2009 |
