| 1 | Sinus and Allergy problems | Blood pressure went up to over 140/101 and I do not have high blood pressure. I was on Nasonex for 3 weeks, became very irritable, and extremely anxious, felt like I was one step away from having an anxiety attack at every drop of a hat. Finally, after being off the drug for three weeks, my blood pressure returned to its normal around 116/77. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. | It did however relieve me of my allergy symptoms, but was not worth the price of thinking I was going to have a heart attack! | F | 45 | 3 weeks | 4/1/2009 | 1 | for sinus pain (on aircrafts) | Heart palpitations, dizziness, fainting, sore ears, eyes, muscle spasms, crushing sensation in my face, tight chest, splitting headache, strong cough | Having read some of the comments, I am so pleased to hear others have had similar concerns. I have been to the doctor and hospital 7 times in the last month and they could not find anything, now I will mention nasonex and await their investigation. FYI, I randomly collapsed about a week after taking nasonex so something seems to happen very quickly. Thank you. | M | 26 | 14 days | 3/30/2009 | 1 | allergies | heart palpitations | Why aren't heart palpitations listed as potential side effects? I thought I was loosing my mind until I read this web site. Luckily I had a feeling that morning and did not use the nasal spray. I was in the hospital emergency room the night before with many heart palpitations. The doctor and nurse (both good) didn't even give a second look at Nasonex on my medication list. | F | 46 | 11 days | 3/18/2009 | 1 | Eustachian Tube plugged with fluid | Tightness in chest, heart palpatations, anxiety, headache, sore throat, severe muscle (Back pain), trouble concentrating, dizziness. | I find it disturbing that my symptoms are typical of people on this website, yet the nasonex company does not list any of these. My symptoms were so bothersome, I almost went to emergency because I thought I was about to have a heart attack, or may have heart disease. Now, I believe its simply the adverse effects of the nasonex. My ear is starting to unplug from the drug, but I am ceasing my course of nasonex immediately due to the unwanted side effects. | F | 39 | 6 days | 3/16/2009 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Chest tightness, burning in ribs, bloody(ish) nose, sore throat | It took me awhile to connect the burning to the Nasonex. I had the burning, then it went away. Looking back, I realized that it got better when I stopped the Nasonex. I had more sinus problems and my doctor told me to keep taking the Nasonex. I started it again and got the burning in ribs and chest tightness. I've been off it for about two days now and I almost feel like myself again. It did help my sinus congestion, but it's not worth the side effects. | F | 39 | | 3/11/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion | Anxiety, night terrors, headaches. Oh,and the hole the diameter of a pencil eraser in my right nasal septum. This a rare but documented side effect. | Avoid, avoid, avoid. This stuff is dangerous for a subset of the population. Withdrawal has also been a complete nightmare. | M | 39 | 3 years | 3/9/2009 | 1 | Mouth breathing | My son has experienced extreme tiredness issues for 3 years now and recently had a sleep study. All came back OK except that he breathes through his mouth whilst asleep. I have sinus issues myself and when really bad make me very tired. The sleep specialist prescribed Nasonex to help my son sleep better. From the first day he was very aggressive. In the last few days he has been off his food and seems very depressed. Also he has wet the bed twice in the last week. My son has NEVER wet the bed, even when he was first toilet trained as a two year old. I am SO angry at the doctor who prescribed this drug. It was so expensive but we are prepared to do whatever it takes to help his tiredness so we bought it. What makes it worse is that I always read the insert that comes with a drug before I use it. But of course drug companies don't tell the truth, do they! | I will NEVER use this spray again!!! | M | 6 | 13 days | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Dysfunctional Eustachian Tube | Trouble sleeping at night, tired during the day. Extremely light headed and anxious. Loss of appetite. Pulse is 100 all day when normally 70-75. I have off for 6 days now and side effects are going away but still evident. This is keeping me from daily activities. | F | 20 | 6 weeks | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Severe Headaches | I took this medicine for about 10 days, not long enough to use one spray bottle. Each time I used it I would get a headache, each time was worse and worse until the last time the headache was so bad I couldn't even open my eyes. This was about 6 months ago. I still get severe headaches, sometimes daily. | F | 44 | 10 days | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Chronic Sinus infections and stuffy | After about 3 days, I could not sleep, I would wake up frequently and toss and turn, sometimes hot and then cold. I constantly felt hung over without the drinking. I feel the lack of sleep led to my feeling tired, and irritable. I caught myself spacing out, and forgetting things. Thank God my fiance suggested looking up side-effects. | I guess it really depends on your chemistry. I have discontinued use. | M | 33 | 5 days | 2/27/2009 | 1 | swelling and fluid in ears | developed extreme anxiety and fear of heights, totally freaked out while driving and pulled over and called two friends to rescue me. pressure in my head, dizziness, feel like i'm in a cloud, can't think clearly, tightness in my chest, feeling like it's hard to breathe. fear and anxiety while driving now is something i have never had before. i have been on the product for 6 weeks now and stopped taking it yesterday, will comment again on how long it took to recover from side effects. | i took nasonex years ago and it worked great. but, now it seems to have a very negative impact on my central nervous system. | F | 49 | 6 weeks | 2/22/2009 | 1 | Allergies | Stopped after 7 days of use, had bad shoulder pain, vision trouble, weight gain. Developed Iritis in both eyes, left eye was worse.Still seeing the Eye Dr. The shoulder pain did stop after 12 days off Nasonex. 16 days and still waiting for my eyes to get better. | I didn't know the problems I was having were related to this drug until i read other comments on this site. Nasonex did not relieve my allergies in the 7 days that I used it. | M | 65 | 7 days | 2/21/2009 | 1 | Post Septoplasty w/ chronic sinusus | Extreme anxiety, nervousness, heavy chest feeling, headaches, pain in face and behind eyes, trouble focusing, nausea, extreme tiredness | My ENT gave me this 10 days out of surgery. Never mentioned any side effects. I had some mild anxiety problems recently that I feel were sinus related, but this stuff has made it hard to even leave the house. I am going to stop taking ASAP after reading everyones reports. I thought I was just loosing it. | M | 27 | 4 days | 2/19/2009 | 1 | Allergies | I had a longer response typed but there is a character limit. In short side effects were: Irrational anxiety and depression at levels that far surpassed anything I have ever experienced, painful heart palpitations (which felt terrible given that I already have a murmur due to mild MVP) and severe insomnia (complete with nightmares and cold sweats). I should also mention that while I never had a nose bleed “per se” while on Nasonex, I did notice blood in my mucus anytime I blew my nose (and that has never happened before). I cannot believe this is prescribed to children… I am sure they have no way of putting a lot of these feelings into words. It’s also beyond me how none of this is listed as even a rare/possible side effect. Took one day for allergy symptoms to return and three days for side effect to wear off completely. | M | 25 | 3 weeks | 2/14/2009 | 1 | asthma, sinusitis | heart fluttering, heart out of chest, pounding, extreme fast heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, chest tightness, high blood pressure, almost fainting, thought I had heart attack, co workers thought to take me to emergency, waking up in the middle of the night with palpitations and tight chest, and jittery | I did not make the connection.... until I started reviewing what was new in my medicines... I had discontinued Nasonex some years ago because I noticed it raised my blood pressure.... but after a series of bronchitis Allergist and pulmonologists suggested I use it again.... 3 or four day after I staerted nasonex, and in the past seven days I had three of the acute episodes I describe with all the symptoms at the same time.... it would feel just like a heart attack. I will discontnue it right now!!! | M | 52 | 5 days | 2/6/2009 | 1 | Sinus congestion | I had many of the same side effects I just read about on this page. I had tightness in my chest, heart racing (as high as 120), headaches, dizziness, foggy thinking, trouble sleeping, a burning sensation(like really bad heart burn), tierd, chest was sore. I had started taking a decongestant which caused my heart to race. My doctor then put me on Nasonex and told me it would not cause this. So when it began racing again I was instructed by me doctor to go into the ER. They ran all kinds of test and found nothing. I had to see a heart doctor who after reviewing all my testings, xrays, and boold work finding nothing wrong, he and the ER doctor looked up Nasonex and said that though not often Nasonex could cause this because it is a steroid. I had been admitted to the hospital and just got home today. I wish I would have found this information before. I dont have insurance, so this whole event is going to cost me. | You can always try it. It did clear my sinuses, but while on it I thought I had something seriously wrong with me. Very scary experiance!! | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/29/2009 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Heart palpatations, alot of nose polys, depression anxiety, shortness of breath.Might need operation to get rid of side effects | Was on nasonex for 1 year. Been off for 2 months. Heart palpatations almost gone. Still have shortness of breath. I was on sinus infection medication and just waiting to see if all the side effects go away or if I need to get the operation. Feel 70 percent better from being off nasonex. Symptoms slowly going away. Watch out for his drug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also doctors, ENT's also told me that nasonex doesnt cause these problems but they are obviously dead wrong! There should be legal action here due to the fact that these symptoms are not listed, and doctors and ENT's are giving out wrong information. | F | 28 | 365 days | 1/25/2009 | 1 | allergies | irritated, confused, headache, disoriented, aggrevated | My daughter took Nasonex about an hour before bed. She had trouble staying asleep. She tossed, kicked, cried and complained for hours. She is NEVER like this. Her eyes were watering and her eyes were open but vacant. It scared my husband and me. I will not give this medication to her again. | F | 7 | 1 days | 1/20/2009 | 1 | ear infections | Moodiness, and inability to fall a sleep and stay a sleep. | My 3 year old was prescribed this and I only gave it to her for 3 days. It was awful for her. She was off the wall!!! And then couldn't sleep. I don't think adult meds are meant for children. However, I tried it for my allergies (I'm 37) and it gave me a severe headache. | F | 3 | 3 days | 1/11/2009 | 1 | sinus infection | insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, loss of control and depression | I have been taking this off and on for about a month for chronic sinus infections. I have been off of work for nearly a week and haven't left the house. I felt like I was going crazy. I feel extremely anxious and panicky. I can't even function with my daily life or job. I am extremely sensitive to medications therefore I stopped taking everything except my antibiotic and nasonex. This morning I made a doctors appointment and was considering seeking counseling even though I have nothing out of the ordinary going on in my life. I started researching the meds I am on and found this site and to my relief now know that it could all be caused by the nasonex. I will never take this again I would rather deal with the sinus issues than the anxiety and depression. | F | 37 | 30 days | 1/8/2009 |
