| 1 | nasal polyp and associated snoring | Wish I'd read this site sooner. Soon after taking Nasonex I developed anxiety and an inability to sleep through the night. Also had the more common nosebleeds. | Cured the snoring after 3 months, but at much greater expense. Can't believe that such common and dangerous side effects aren't listed on the product or recognised - disgraceful. | M | 32 | 90 days | 12/19/2009 | 1 | sinuses | OMG! Another one! Thank you guys!!! Thought I would lose my mind~!!! I just posted on Bactrim because I went to the walk in clinic having this crazy pressure on my forehead, and he diagnosed a sinus infection, ironically, I had been using Nasonex for the previous week, and had these crazy headaches...and feeling "hungover", out of it...and didn't feel safe driving anywhere, so cancelled plans and stayed in bed all week-end. Mon. went to walk in...he started Bactrim, along with continuing Nasonex...you guys can imagine...it just added to the bad that was already happening! Finally, yesterday, had friends drive me to the ER, because I almost blacked out while in line at the bank...they did cat scan of my head, and EKG, everything was normal...there was no sinus infection...This doc was awesome!, totally against prescribing stuff! Said to stop taking both drugs, go home, eat and have two glasses of wine! I feel much, much better this morning...!!! Even after only skipp | Will never use again! Dangerous! | F | 48 | 1 weeks | 12/19/2009 | 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 noticed side effects straight away. First was the slight burning sensation when you inhale it. You feel 'spaced out' for about 2 hours after taking it. Then for about 12 hours afterwards, a dull headache. For 3 hours, I'd be headache free. Then I'd get headaches again, like almost a withdrawal symptom. This stems into the night, causing insomnia. This has a nock-on effect of feeling misserable, cranky and depressed. Whilst exersizing, it took me ages to regain my breath. As I inhaled, it felt like the walls of my trachea were touching each other, causing me to gasp. Not being able to breathe lead me to having panic attacks. ------------------------------------------------- About me: After fracturing my nose, the doctor prescribed me Nasonex to reduce the swelling of the tissue, allowing me to breathe. This spray hasn't worked, and has messed around with my body. The panic attacks have happened twice during a work out, because I couldn't get enough air into my lungs as it felt my throat's walls were touching each other. I've been on Nasonex for 5 weeks, and nothing has improved. I find it more than a coinsedence that hundreds of people have had similar side effects, which the manufacturers haven't told us. Nasonex is a waste of money (£7.50 UK), damages your body, your life, and DOESN'T work. Look at the overall rating people. | F | 20 | 5 weeks | 12/6/2009 | 1 | synosis problems | nose bleeds 3 days in dizzyness severe headaches drowsyness but not being able to get any sleep | F | 19 | 7 days | 11/30/2009 | 1 | Allergic and vasomotorhinnitis | I was so suprised to find this web site. I too thought I was going crazy. My headaches only became worse since using Nasonex. I have cold night sweats. Crazy vivid dreams. Dry cough and dry mouth. Dizziness and palpitations. Shoulder and wrist aches. I suffered for 2 1/2wks with headaches thinking it was my vasmotor rhinitis. I statrted to cough and couldn't stop coughing when I spoke. My head would throb so much it felt like it was bobbing back and forth. I stopped taking the Nasonex a week ago when I started on Leavaquin. I am still tired and coughing. The dizziness and palpitations seemed to have subsided. I am a very healthy person. This is awful How long does it take for this drug to get out of the system? | F | 52 | 21 days | 11/25/2009 | 1 | Rhinitis | My GP changed my medication to Nasonex after many years on Becanase. After only two weeks on this medication I developed a sinus infection, headaches, aching jaws, earache, tinnitus, visual disturbances, feelings of being spaced out, aching upper arms and anxiety. I have been off it a few days now and am feeling much better but not yet back to normal. Will never take this again or recommend it to anyone. | F | 67 | 14 days | 11/21/2009 | 1 | sinus infection | On first day experienced weird images and sensations when I went to bed. Pounding music and vivid violent images when I tried to sleep. Also had nightmares. | Foul taste in mouth and loss of smell. Terrible pain in jaw and teeth. No noticeable improvement in sinus infection after nearly a week of 2 sprays twice a day. Am stopping this drug today and will try nasal irrigation with saline. | F | 40 | 6 days | 11/21/2009 | 1 | hayfever | headache, anxiety, extreme panic attacks, insomnia, nausea | I took this for 3 days and by the second day i had a headache. On the third I had such a bad anxiety attack I nearly threw up. I then woke up that night with a panic attack. I never have these. Put two and two together and stopped using this, totally regret it!!!. However since I stopped I have had insomnia on two occasions and today had such a bad panic attack at work over nothing and i started shaking uncontrollably. Very very scary side effects, I have been feeling unwell all week and I wonder when it will stop. Went to doctor and they totally disregarded that it could all be from Nasonex, told me I might need to be on anti-depressants!!! Dr's are a crock, dont trust them. | F | 29 | 3 days | 11/20/2009 | 1 | cronic sinus infection | I have absolutely no sense of smell or taste after taking Nasonex for 2 months. I just realized this last night; I called the pharmacist to inquire about the side affects of my meds. She suggested Nasonex could cause loss of smell and taste. I called my dr. this morning and talked to his nurse explaining the symptoms I was experiencing. I asked if the meds would cause loss of smell and taste. She said to keep my appointment 10 days from now. Stay on my meds. and then the dr. would evaluate my symptoms. She showed no concern. It was only after I told her that the pharmacist suggested that these symptoms could be caused by Nasonex that she went to speak with the dr. and came back saying that I should discontinue the Nasonex. | Your pharmacist is so much more educated on effects of meds than your doctor or nurse. | F | 62 | 60 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | sinuses | i have used nasonex for 2 days and suffered with wheezing and a bad cough, i also got flu sypthoms. i was fine before i used this spray. also i have been having really bad nightmares and not being able to sleep properly, i feel tired and dizzy and have loss of Concentration, i would not use this again | F | 23 | 2 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | Sinus | Loss of sleep and extreme headache. I took one dose and awoke in middle of night and wide awake all night plus caused terrible headache. Nausea feeling and spaced out next day. Didn't help anything and gave me bad side effects above. I will not take this again. | F | 43 | 1 days | 11/11/2009 | 1 | sinuses | cold like symptoms within a day of taking the nasal spray like runny nose pain around my eye and sore throat down one side and bad headache | dont recommend taking it makes you feel worse | F | 29 | 3 days | 11/1/2009 | 1 | Polyps | It helped clear my sinuses / shrink polyps. However, my doctor suggested I take it twice a day for the REST of my life. After approximately one month, I got a really bad sinus infection. My eyes got swollen and I had severe headaches. After month three I started experiencing depression and anxiety. I also had a recurring sinus infection. I did not think it was the Nasonex so I continued to take it and my depression got worse to the point of having suicidal thoughts. Uncontrollable bouts of crying. I also started getting a bit aggressive. Someone told me that I must have been taking drugs. I laughed it off at first and then I read the report done by Jane Pauley on steroids in medications. She too was having the symptoms I was having. I confronted my doctor and he totally disagreed with me. He even wanted to put me on a different steriod. Sounds like "Big Pharma" and monetary kickbacks to me but thats another story. In any case, I stopped taking the medication because I was at | DON"T USE IT . If you must use it. Do not use long term. NO LONG TERM STUDIES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED!!! | M | 43 | 1 years | 10/28/2009 | 1 | Pediatric Allergies | Loss of appetite, agression , sleeplessness, anxiety, irritability, night terrors, constipation, viral infections..... | At 14mths my son was prescribed Nasonex for "allergies".He had persistant ear infections post year tubes. Initially I thought it was wonderful-ear infection free. Approx 6 mths into taking Nasonex I started to wonder if my child was truely this very unhappy aggressive non eater/sleeper. Don't get me wrong he has a short fuse, but on occaision I have considered calling 911. When I started to document situations I came to believe my child is bipolar or something he's consuming has horrendous side effects. He only takes Nasonex ... so after 10mths of Nasonex my child no longer takes it. I now have a hungry tired pleasant toddler with "normal" tantrums. And what amazes me the most is his pleasant disposition. My advice is not to give to young children who are unable to vocalize their symptoms. I don't know how my son felt, but in his case actions speak louder than words. | M | 2 | 10 months | 10/23/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion, post nasal drip | chest tightness, increased heart rate, palpitations, severe anxiety to the point of panic attacks | thought i was going crazy, so glad to see this site! | F | 29 | 30 days | 10/17/2009 | 1 | Sinusitis | Headaches, nose bleeds, jaw pain, and dizziness followed by steroid withdrawl symptoms after quitting. | Don't know if I'm the only one to experience this, but I quit taking Nasonex 6 days ago. Within 2 days, the problems caused by the stuff were gone, but as the days went on, my body felt weaker and weaker, it felt like my heart was having a hard time beating, and I was extremely depressed. 4 days after quitting, my period started...but it had just ended 9 days before, and I’ve never had any sort of menstrual irregularity in my past. Going to my doctor tomorrow to see HOW I can get off Nasonex without falling apart. I'd recommend talking to your doctor before stopping immediately. | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/11/2009 | 1 | Sinusitis | My allergist recommended this medication to help un-stuff my sinuses. For the first few weeks, it seemed to do the job, but around week six, I started to notice some things that just weren’t right. My arms kept going numb, I was having chest pains (went to the emergency room for these. $1000 for a musculoskeletal pain diagnosis), difficulty concentrating, and my sinuses started bleeding although I had not been around any my allergen (I’m only allergic to cats). By week 11, I had a full-on sinus infection, pink-eye, jaw stiffness, headaches so severe that it felt like my skull was about to cave in, intense sinus pressure, nose bleeds, numbness and poor circulation in my limbs, dizziness, and vision problems. The worst of it were the EXTREME mood swings and anxiety, which actually caused me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist because I honestly felt as though I was going mad. It didn’t hit me until 2 days ago that my condition was worse following a dose of Nasone | It seems like this med works for some people, but be wary of any just-not-right pains or feelings while taking it. I wish that I had found this site sooner; I could have ceased taking Nasonex while the symptoms were minor. My life has been turned upside down for weeks: my marriage, school, work, finances, and social life have all suffered dramatically due to this stupid spray. I'd take back my stuffy nose any day if this experience (and pain) could just be wiped permanently from my history! | F | 26 | 12 weeks | 10/8/2009 | 1 | Problem with ear after flying | On it for 6 days along with prednisone. At first it seemed to work great, cleared sinus and got relief. Now ear is back to being clogged AND I suddenly realized tonight my great NYC water does not taste right. Neither does bottled water, I have a metallic taste in my mouth which is why I checked for side effects cause it seemed really weird. | I know my body and the meds and supplements I'm on. I've had prednisone before. Nasonex is the only factor that is different. Also had an extreme burning sensation in the back of my nose with one dose. I am glad I found this website and am stopping this stuff immediately. This stuff is poison. Guess the pharma industry had to push out the perfectly good generic of Flonase for profit. Thank you FDA for protecting the interests of us consumers, ha! I hope those of us with affected taste and smell get our senses back! | F | 56 | 6 days | 10/8/2009 | 1 | for Sinus and ear pain | I starting having nightmares, problems sleeping and aches and pains in my neck, joints and back. I also felt exhausted,anxious,nervous and felt bloated. I then kept feeling a tightness in my chest like severe heartburn. I thought I had indigestion but it lasted for days. Then I thought it was a virus with the tiredness and aches but then wondered if it was the nasonex. I looked it up on the website and I am pleased I did. I will not be taking it any more it is going in the bin. Thank goodness I read the website. | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 10/6/2009 | 1 | mal de debarquement, sinusitus | hi, i have described by side effects on here before they are the same as everyone elses!!! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long before the symtoms go? still suffering slight version of what i was before (but no where near as bad)and i stopped in June! | F | 34 | 3 months | 10/3/2009 |
