| 1 | seasonal allergies | nervousness, irritability, joint and muscle pain, anxiety | I went into using nasonex perfectly happy and healthy - thinking I was using this preventatively for seasonal allergies. Aside from the terrible symptoms I already listed a dr. diagnosed me 2 weeks later with 'steroid psychosis' after having a weekend-long panic attack that culminated in me almost going to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was fine for a while but I still am dealing with anxiety - something I never had in my life until after using this drug (3 dr. visits in 2 months since using nasonex). Threw this away and will never EVER use it or allow my kids to use it. This is scary medicine. | F | 38 | 5 days | 6/26/2009 | 1 | Sinus Poylups | Immune system shut down, Blood glucose levels off the chart, loss of adrenal function, pituitary malfuncttion,low testosteron,headachs, vertigo,and all the symtomes related to above said conditions. I could list more | Doctors must get some form of Kick-Back because I cant believe that 10 plus Doctors could be that stupid,and not put any of the blood tests,symptoms,conditions,to the listed side effects.I am hoping to start a Class Action Lawsuit against the Company. | M | 45 | 900 days | 6/22/2009 | 1 | Sinus problems | Nausea, tightness in chest, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety | I switched from Flonase to Nasonex after a doctor recommended it. I never had any trouble with Flonase, but I noticed some rather startling symptoms after using Nasonex for only a few weeks. I've been off it for a couple of days, and the side effects seem to be diminishing a little. | M | 35 | | 6/16/2009 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My doctor prescribed Nasonex for me after Flonase kept me very awake. For me the most noticable effect at first was the difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep. I had to sleep with the TV on to have something to focus my wandering thoughts on. Then I would doze and wake about every 15-20 minutes all night long. Other effects which I finally attributed to the Nasonex were, dry sore throat; anxiety; depression; shaking & tremors; loss of appetite & nausea; shallow, tight breathing; increased heart rate; dizziness; loud ringing & pain in ears; hot then cold flashes; feeling feverish all the time; somewhat irritable; blood pressure up slightly. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me and started to examine all different aspects of my life to see what might be making me feel so bad. On the fourth morning (today), just as I was reaching for the bottle of Nasonex, it dawned on me that that was the source of my trouble. I hope the shakes will stop soo | Even though Nasonex cleared my breathing (for part of the day), the side-effects are not worth it. I have gone back to using Vapo-Rub and irrigating my sinuses. Simplest is best. If I could rate this stuff a "zero", I would. THIS CHEMICAL IS POISON -- DON'T USE IT!!! | F | 53 | 4 days | 6/8/2009 | 1 | Allergies, runny nose | Tremors,high blood pressure, knife like chest pains, stomach pain, anxiety, headaches that lasted hours. | After 10 days and two trips to the cardiologist's office, I threw this medicine in the trash. The side effects started within 2 minutes of taking this lethal drug. I usually have low BP (108/70) but it climbed to 160/90 in one week! The chest pains were freaky. Now I have to have several cardiology tests to make sure I'm ok. | F | 65 | 10 days | 6/1/2009 | 1 | Acute sinusitis | Severe nausea ,chronic belching and vomiting within a few hours of taking the first dose. It lasted for twelve hours. | I am on drugs for lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure. I took the first dose of Nasonex mixed with Otrivin (pediatric dose) perscribed by the doctor at about noon. Within a few hours I became very nauseated and then started deep belching and vomiting. This lasted throughout the night and finally stopped at around 2am. I will NEVER take this medicine again. I had no idea what was going on. I thought I needed to go to the emergency room. I then realizd that the only thing that was different was the Nasonex I had taken. My sinuses did feel better in the morning but NOTHING is worth how awful I felt. I finally was able to eat again in the morning. I've since asked friends and found similar stories. They need to let you know about this potential horrible side effect. | M | 67 | 1 days | 5/30/2009 | 1 | allergies | terrible congestion. especially in one nostril. i have been having anxiety attacks that are scary. terrible headaches. fatigue and depression. lose of appetite. high blood pressure. and now i have a upper respiratory infection and i just got over one a few weeks ago. | I just threw away my prescription of nasonex and have no intention of ever taking it again. Anyone listening! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. There is a natural remedy for allergies and it works much better than any pharmacitical garbage. Its called CAYENNE. Drink a warm cup of Cayenne (tsp) with lemon water every morning and you'd be surprised how better you feel. It clears up congestion immediately and you have an overall sense of well being. Best of all it is NATURAL. God Bless you all. | F | 8 days | 5/26/2009 | 1 | Sinus/nasal | Shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, weak voice. | I took Nasonex for 1 month and I was pleased. Then it just seemed to stop working for me. I felt like my vocal cords were getting very weak and my chest felt tight. One night at work I had to have a co-worker take me to the ER because I felt like I was having a heart attack. Spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital having a bunch of tests done on my heart. All of them came back ok. My Doctors ignored me when I tried to talk about my sinus and Nasonex theory. Stopped taking it and don't plan to use it again. | M | 42 | 35 days | 5/22/2009 | 1 | Blocked sinus, post nasal drip | Anxiety, palpitations, raised blood pressure, tight chest, pain/numbness in left arm. Same as others, I thought I was about to have a heart attack | Shortly after taking Nasonex I started feeling anxious and very tired, then 2 to 3 weeks after starting Nasonex I experienced dizzy spells. I stopped taking Nasonex just in case it was responsible and visited the doctor. Doctor said my blood pressure was high (174/90) but said Nasonex wouldn't have caused it. Visited doctor a week later and blood pressure was normal. Doctor suggested I start taking Nasonex again, which I did, and two weeks later my blood pressure is back up - 172/95 this morning. So I'm doing the same as other people and 'chucking Nasonex in the bin'. It did clear my nose though! | F | 52 | 30 days | 5/21/2009 | 1 | allergies/sinus | An un-balanced vertigo/dizziness sensation was most disturbing. Severe headaches...thought to be TMJ. Burning-throbbing pain in the sinus area, pressure behind eyes, pain behind left eye, left shoulder pain, neck/back pain, ear pain, bloody nose, eye pain that prevented me from wearing contact lens, racing heart, insomnia, nervousness, annxiety, memory/focus issues and overwhelming sense of illness looming. | Saw my internist 3x's in the 2 months of starting this drug, A TMJ Specialist, CT Scan, Ophthamologist and next was an ENT. I am so GLAD that I stumbled on to this website! I am over all in great health, eat's well...runs 5 miles per day 5 days a week plus regular exercise. No heart history or any of the other symtoms that seem to be common. In just the approximate 2 months of using this drug. Thought for sure I had some dreaded disease. Stopping the use of Nasonex today!! I'll deal with the allergies/sinus. Not worth it!!! | F | 43 | 2 months | 5/13/2009 | 1 | Allergies | My 7 year old son was prescribed nosonex for allergies. Took it for about a week. Started to complain of back pain, shoulder pain, body aches, head ache, stomach aches. The next day he is vomitting, didn't eat all day(That's rare for him, even when he is sick). Extrememly weak that day and pale(probably from vomitting for half the day). Stopped the nasonex when he was vomitting and when he felt yucky just because his nose was the least of his problems. I thought he was experiencing flu symptoms. Two days later I start the nasonex back up, on the first night he woke up in the middle of the night straight up talking for a while in a panicked daze(unusual for my son he is a heavy sleeper). In the morning he has a minor nose bleed. The next day I give it to him, a little while later he starts complaining of back & neck pain. I thought he was getting over it so I started worrying about menengitis or infection. Then it crossed my mind that he just started this med. So I looked up t | Reading all the side effects it shouldn't be for sale. I can't believe it got through the FDA! My kids don't get a lot of side effects from any med. and they have been on a lot of meds. I would have never thought that a nasal spray could have made my son so sick. I will now always check the side effects on this web site before I give anything to my family. It's nice to see somebody who cares about humanity and not about the all mighty dollar. To bad it couldn't have been the Nasonex company. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 5/12/2009 | 1 | Dr. presribed for allergies | Terrible headaches and intense/stressful dreams. A headache at the back of my head that aspirin nor tylenol could help. I constantly would wake-up from re-occuring dreams and nightmares. The Dr. prescribed this to me for allegery-swolleness. | I never had side-effects from other medications. I thought i was going crazy. | M | 42 | 2 months | 5/4/2009 | 1 | Allergy | Racing heart, trouble sleeping (I would have difficulty falling asleep or would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, disorientated and with racing heart), anxiety attacks - end up going to cardiologist who found nothing wrong. I felt like I was going crazy, went to see the doctor who told me it could not be from Nasonex. I then found this website and stopped taking it - all side effects have since disappeared. Nasonex worked wonders in clearing my allergy but it made my life hell. Think I would rather have a runny nose than what I went through with the drug's side effects. Dangeorus stuff. | F | 6 months | 4/28/2009 | 1 | Obstructive sleep apnea | I usually sleep well with my CPAP, but the last few nights, I have been waking up several times during the night. I started having nightmares, in one I was going to jump off a bridge! I am irritable, and feel like I want to punch someone. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 4/23/2009 | 1 | Sinus Pressure & Allergies | Intense sinus pressure, cloudy head feeling, headaches, inability to focus at work or pay attention, sensitivity to light, and mood swings/irritability. Every morning when I wake up, I feel like I am hungover when I haven't had a drop of alcohol the night before. This is similar to what others have also written so I think it is safe to attribute this to the Nasonex. Will report back after a while to report if symptoms have improved | this product works like a charm for allergies, but has TERRIBLE side effects for almost everything else. | M | 26 | 3 months | 4/22/2009 | 1 | Sinusitus | Loss of sleep, anxiety, profusly running nose, tiredness, headache, sinus pressure and heat flashes. | This stuff irritated my sinuses and made me feel like I had the worse sinus infection that I had ever experienced. My nose starting flowing like a fire hose. Did anybody else experience that? I don't see anyone else who listed it. I stopped and started 3 times thinking that I must have caught a cold each time. I finally concluded that the symptoms were too closely correlated with the Nasonex use to be a coincidence. | M | 51 | 3 weeks | 4/20/2009 | 1 | for ear congestion | high fever, vomiting, low appetite probably due to stomach pain, pounding heart, sensitivity and fear. | My son was perscribed this medication over a year ago now. When we first tried it he got sick. We thought it was just a bug so we waited for him to be better. We tried it again and he got sick again. I still thought it was a bug from daycare. after a few weeks I thought we better get using it again. My son was sick again. we kept giving it to him and he just got sicker. He already has autism and other issues so we did not relate his accelerated behavior to this drug until it became pretty obvious. Later we found out he also has a heart defect. I am thankful we stopped using Nasonex before he had heart failure. We have never seen him as sick as when he was on Nasonex. It was very scary. Our ENT said he had never heard of such a reaction, which made me feel a bit crazy. After reading this site, how could he not know?? Please use caution with our children Doctors!! | M | 3 | | 4/15/2009 | 1 | I was using nasonex this winter and started feeling very itchy eyes and even painful, also fatigue. I spend $150 with an ophthalmologist and I found out last night that it was nasonex because I was ok and one hour after I use it my eyes felt really bad, after reading here I will put iT in the garbage. The doctors kill you this days if you are not aware. | F | 53 | 2 months | 4/13/2009 | 1 | Eustacion tube clogged | It is by far the worst medication I have ever had prescribed! It totally destroyed my smell and taste, which have not recovered after two months of misery. | I think it is a dangerous medication and should be taken off of the market. Steroids are too powerful to be used in this manner. I think this medication is too dangerous to be prescribed for any patient. I would not recommend this medication for any reason as there must be better treatments for nasal allergies that aren't this dangerous. | M | 81 | 3 days | 4/11/2009 | 1 | allergies | After three weeks of taking Nasonex I started having heart palpitations. I thought I was about to have a heart attack. After 6 or 8 beats my heart would skip a beat. I have also had problems sleeping, panic attacks and I have been very irritable. Once I realized that it was the Nasonex that was causing my problems I stopped taking it. It has been five days and I still am experiencing skipped heart beats. Does anyone know how long it takes for this drug to get out of your system? | This stuff is poison. Don't take it. | M | 37 | 4 weeks | 4/6/2009 |
