| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | sinus | Heart Palpitations, very bad cough,couldn't breath,headaches, dizzy spells, thought I had bronchitis. | Never take this I have had 4 wks of wondering what the hell is wrong with me when I looked up side affects and thank goodsness been off for 3 days and feel a hell alot better already. thought I was living with bronchitis most of the time with my very tight and sore chest. thanks guys- Never give this to your children. | F | 47 | 4 weeks | 9/27/2009 | 1 | I started taking this nasal medication as a substitution for Afrin spray a year ago during bad sinus conditions - 1 week max 2-3 times a year and I have noticed my smell and taste have decreased significantly. I did not know what the cause might be at first, but now I am starting to realize that it is a side effect of this drug. Think twice about using it. I am looking for other with the same side effect. | M | 56 | 7 days | 9/25/2009 | 1 | minor sinus infection | headaches, puffy eyes, felt nautious, tired. MOST IMPORTANTLY I LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL. I TOOK NASONEX FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THESE SYMPTOMS WERE CAUSED BY THE NASONEX. I WAS RECOVERING FROM THE INFECTION AND WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE NASONEX I WOULD FEEL ALOT WORSE. STOPED TAKING NASONEX RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, STILL HAVE VERY LITTLE SENSE OF SMELL AND MY TASTE IS PARTIALLY EFFECTED. | NOT WORTH THE POSSIBLE PERMANENT LIFE ALTERING SIDE EFFECTS, THE MOST SHOCKING, ALTHOUGH NOT SURPRISING, IS THAT GOVERNMENTS ALLOW PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO MARKET CRAP LIKE THIS REGARDLESS OF SIDE EFFECTS, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR INTENTIONAL LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PRODUCT. | M | 47 | 3 days | 9/22/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion | Up at 1:00 a.m typing this because this stuff is keeping me awake. Also have a tingling odd feeling in my arms like they are asleep. My face aches around the jawbones. | F | 45 | 1 days | 9/21/2009 | 1 | not getting enough air through nose | I can no longer smell anything!!! (Not even popcorn, or bacon frying, etc.) My ability to taste has declined too. My breathing issues have not improved so Nasonex has caused me more problems rather than help. | F | 55 | 2 months | 9/19/2009 | 1 | Sinus Issues | After being on this medicine and using it as prescribed, I developed nasal ulcerations and frequent nose bleeds. | I get coupons in the mail every quarter that would allow me to get it for free. Apparently they can't even give it away. | M | 48 | 2 years | 9/15/2009 | 1 | Runny nose and congestion | Irritable, cold and flu like symtoms, waking up through out the night, wet the bed during naps 5 days in a row even wet himself awake almost like uncontrollable blatter. | THANK YOU PARENTS FOR POSTING YOUR RATINGS!!!!! My son was prescribed Nasonex for runny nose and congestion. He first started not sleeping, then became very irritable, finally he started wetting the bed during naptime at preschool. And I thought the bed wetting was an accident but after 5 days in a row and twice the last day it seemed like it was getting worse and no longer seemed as an accident. I feel so bad that I didn't protect my child and read about it first. I have even know about the side effects from the commercials and wouldn't take it myself. I will look up any meds prescribed from any doctor from now on. They get paid extra to push meds for the pharmaceutical companies. Parents: don't trust everything they give your kids!!!! Doctors: please be more careful with our children!!! | M | 3 | 3 weeks | 9/9/2009 | 1 | Perrenial Allergies | I used to use this drug without any problem. It felt like it wasn't working so I asked the doc what else could I use. At this time I had an unrelated asthma exacerbation and was put on a high dose of prednisone for 3 weeks. I have been off of the prednisone for 3 1/2 weeks now and was feeling that Nasonex wasn't working so the doc prescribed Rhinocort. It didn't work well so I went back to Nasonex. I feel this second time around Nasonex caused heart palpatations, higher blood pressure, and aniexty. I didn't have these effects the first time. I'm wondering if the effects of the prednisone coupled with Nasonex is a double wammy for me. Prednisone can cause these symptoms too. I stopped Nasonex after 3 days intersparingly which is today (been 24 hours since my last sprays) bu I still have a 93 heart rate and 122/76 blood pressure. I usually have a great heart rate and lower blood pressure. I say both Prednisone and Nasonex are EVIL!!! I want to get back to my normal self and be able to wo | Took Nasonex for several months then stopped then started again after taking prednisone | F | 43 | 3 days | 8/19/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure pain | The pain increased when taking Nasonex. I have been getting migraines since the age of 16 (I'm 59 now.) Most of my headaches are allergy induced and I wake up with headaches daily. My doctor prescribed Nasonex for the sinus pressure. The prescription stated to use it daily. My headaches become more frequent and severe. I stopped using it immediately. | F | 59 | 7 days | 8/16/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Only took for 2 days and lost my sense of smell. Now my taste glands are weak and there is a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Still can't smell and I haven't used it in 21 days. Now thjey are saying something is wrong because my spleen is enlarged. Don't know if the two have anything to do with each other but it sure is a COINCIDENCE | DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!! Too many doctors pushing too many drugs. | F | 48 | 2 days | 8/8/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure and congestion | I went to two ENT's because I had ear ache, vertigo, and severe nasal congestion. One diagnosed me with TMJ (???) and prescribed Nasonex for my congestion. Another ENT said it was middle ear infection. Took the nasonex sample for 3 weeks. The dizziness didn't go away. On top of that, my vision was so blurry, squinting all day, had trouble sleeping, had swollen lymph nodes, difficulty swallowing, unable to focus or concentrate, headache, just felt like my head was in a bubble (the hangover feeling everyone is describing). I stumbled upon this website (thank goodness) and tossed the nasonex immediatley. Two days later, the blurry vision and dizziness went away. Slept like a baby. Feel so much better. However, the muscles/nerves around my face are achy, sore, and tired. No pain just extremely uncomfortable. Hot compresses and massage help. Does anyone else experience this after they stopped using it? This drug is awful and it should be banned. I wish I had known about the side effects pri | Nasonex did relieve my congestion but the side effects are too severe. It's not worth it. I wish I had know about all the side effects before using it. I am exploring other alternatives to relieve my congestion. I am trying out natural products and they seem to be helping. | F | 40 | 21 days | 8/6/2009 | 1 | sinusitus | For the first week I didn't notice any side effects but then each succeeding day I noticed that a horrible taste would linger in my throat after taking Nasonex. Each day the taste lasted longer. I stopped taking the drug after 18 days but the horrible taste and weird sensations in my mouth lingered for over six months. I no longer have the bad tastes but I have not recovered my sense of smell and taste. | I definitely would not recommend this medication to anyone. Loss of taste and smell is heartwrenching. Has anyone else had his/her sense of smell and taste restored? | F | 62 | 18 days | 8/3/2009 | 1 | Alergies | Tremmors, headaches, nausea, depression. | I wrote a while ago that I did not have any symptoms from this drug. After over two years on it, I have developed constant body tremmors and nausea. I believe the depression is from the fact that I am constantly worrying about the side effects. I am tossing out the rest of the bottle. | M | 40 | 2 years | 7/29/2009 | 1 | Blocked nose,post-nasal driip | Palpitations,chest tightness,feeling of not being able to breathe.Panicky feeling that something was going to happen and I would need to call ambulance. | Never in my life experienced feelings like these.Started about 2weeks after starting medication and rapidly got worse,took spray for a further 6 days then stopped.Took 11days for these sode-effects to wear off.It gradually got better and I returned to normal.Still got nose problems ,I will keep them! | M | 59 | 20 days | 7/27/2009 | 1 | allergies, inflamed nasal pasage | fatigue, headaches, some blurry vision, anxiety, heart palpitations | Seeing doctor tomorrow to get off of it. Skipped one dose and had blurry vision/migraine, and I NEVER have had one before! Very depressed, and tired all the time for no reason. | F | 24 | 4 weeks | 7/23/2009 | 1 | chronic sinusitus | Loss of sense of smell and taste, canker sores in mouth, heart palpitations, hard time sleeping (waking up a lot) | I can't smell much any more, and what I can smell and taste is overridden by this smell I can't really describe... kind of like a fishiness or some other not so good smell. I have stopped taking the drug for 3 days and I am sleeping well and don't have palpitations anymore. No change yet in smell/taste. | F | 41 | 2 months | 7/20/2009 | 1 | Blocked nose | Pains in my ears, blocked feeling in my chest and pressure on it, feeling as if I'm waking up with a very bad hangover (and I don't drink any more), frequent headaches and feeling extremely down for no particular reason. | Doctor prescribed it for a blocked nose. Did nothing for the nose but definitely seemed to get the side effects. Stopped taking it for a couple of days and generally felt better. However doctor recommended I keep using it and symptoms returned almost immediately when I started taking it again. Have stopped now. Great to see so many people on this site describing similar side effects, particularly when none of these are mentioned in the literature on Nasonex. Surely some cause for concern? | M | 45 | 2 months | 7/16/2009 | 1 | Post-Nasal Drip | Awaking in the night feeling as though I couldnt breathe,chest felt really tight.Totally panicked and thought I would have to go to A&E. Has happened several nights previously but not so severe.Anxiety all the time. | Been taking Nasonex for 3weks,it has made no difference to my symptoms and I will never use it again,the side-effects are horrendous,glad of this site as I thought I was going mad!Still feeling as though my lungs are not getting enough oxygen!only 18hours since my final spray,so hopefully it will quickly improve. | F | 61 | 21 days | 7/11/2009 | 1 | nasal polyps | Tremors, feeling very shaky, tired due to lack of sleep, biggest problem is depression , no energy, feeling of being frightened. | I have been taking it for about 6 weeks now and it does help the problem, but due to side effects I will never take it again. They build up gradually on you. | M | 61 | 6 weeks | 7/3/2009 | 1 | usual hayfever symptoms | havent had any of yet due to using first spray today | i never read info on medicine but i did with nasonex, was bit curious to find out more after reading leaflet. then stumbled upon this site and i think it is safe to say i wont be using nasonex again after these comments thanks everyone | M | 26 | 1 days | 6/30/2009 |
