| 1 | allergic rhinitis | During everyday prolonged use of Nasonex, (which had been encouraged by allergy and ent specialists) I suffered several episodes of tachycardia, two of which required emergency room hospitalization. None of the doctors I saw (allergist, ENT, cariologist, psychiatrist, general physician) attributed the cause to Nasonex, but it was the only constant external influence common to the episodes. Now, after seeing the other comments here, I have stopped using Nasonex, and all of my symptoms have disappeared. Yes, I have to deal with my chronically runny nose, but it is better than the side effects of this drug. Like others on this blog, I experienced "heaviness in the chest", weight gain, anxiety, depression and rapid heart beats. Doctors and the drug company itself (at least by the list of side effects listed on the packaging) don't recognize (or admit) that Nasonex is a STEROID and as such comes with all of the adverse effects therein. | F | 49 | 3 years | 10/5/2008 | 1 | allergies | 4 migraine headaches in 10 days. I pray that they stop soon - I have been off the nasonex for 4 days and i just got another migraine. I used to get 1-2 migraines per year. | Very bad drug - stay away | M | 36 | 10 days | 9/27/2008 | 1 | allergies | Heart palpitations and anxiety attack. Were so bad I got a stress test and a Holter monitor. I'm a healthy, fit 43 year old male. I informed both my doctor and cardiologist about taking Nasonex (my doctor prescribed it!) and neither mentioned anything. The literature that comes with Nasonex doesn't say a thing about palpitations. I was told by my doctors to cut out alcohol and caffeine, but that didn't help at all. Then I stopped taking Nasonex and the symptoms are completely gone. | M | 43 | 180 days | 9/22/2008 | 1 | post nasal drip | depression, anxiety, aggression | It did help with post nasal drip, but about 3 days after I started taking this medication I fell into a fairly bad depressed episode. I was also more irritable and anxious. I stopped taking it a few days ago. The symptoms are starting to fade. I would not recommend this med for anyone with a mood disorder. | F | 23 | 8 days | 9/21/2008 | 1 | Nasal polyps | It worked for a while but then I noticed headaches and heart palpitaions, moodiness, and sometimes the smell of wood burning. I'm not layed back as before as I sometimes suffer from anxiety too.After discontinuing the nasonex all symthoms dis-appeared but I still get jittery and anxious at times. | None of the side affects were on the pamplet that came with nasonex. It is a good medicine to make healthy people unhealthy. Go seek alternative medicine. herbs cant hurt you | M | 67 | 6 months | 9/12/2008 | 1 | sinus infection | | 7/30/2008 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My husband was taking this when about 1 week later he noticed a black spot in his central vision of his right eye. (Bleeding in his eye). | Went to eye specialist. She asked if he was taking a nasal spray with "steroids" in it. This is what caused the bleeding. (which she later denied saying). Took 2 years of test after test to try to stop the bleeding and ultimately laser treatment (she "fried" his macula" and referred him to someone else. The bleeding finally stopped but He did not get his vision back because of the laser surgery. It was an absolute nightmare. Tried to get a lawyer but because there was no precedent set after a lot of reseach he did not take our case. Ultimately my husband had cancer (unrelated) and passed away. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT. | M | 1 weeks | 7/26/2008 | 1 | allergies | Severe orbital pain and headache on the right side only. Sore throat. Anxiety. Moodiness. | I started taking Nasonex sporadically for the last few weeks and just recently started taking it regularly as prescribed, twice daily. Side effects are debilitating. Can't drive, can't do anything. Constant pain. | F | 36 | 5 days | 7/21/2008 | 1 | allergies | My 8 yr old daughter has been on this nasal spray for about 2 months and I have noticed her behavior change from day to night. She is so easy going & has been very agressive on this medicine. She also has had many bouts of nausea & vomiting which I am sure is from this now. I have taken her off of the medicine & her behavior is much better. | F | 8 | 60 days | 7/5/2008 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Insomnia, depression, nose bleed | Works well, but not worth these side effects. | F | 54 | 2 months | 6/25/2008 | 1 | allergies | mood swings, extreme irritability, scared | I stopped taking this medicine because I immediately noticed an issue with my moods. I thought it was reacting with some other medication I was on. However, my two children (4 and 8) also took it. I took them both off of it when I noticed my 4 year old being extremely more scared of things than usual and very bad mood swings. I have thrown it all out and will not take my children back to the doctor who prescribed this to them. | F | 4 | 30 days | 6/20/2008 | 1 | sinus problems | irritable, anxious, depression, lack of energy and skin sensitivity. | thank God I googled this nasty drug - after returning from my fabulous honeymoon and feeling on top of the world, I was prescribed nasonex for my sinus problems. It took me about 1 week to work out that it was causing my irritability, depression, sensitivity and lethargy. BOO BOO Schering - Plough Pty Ltd | M | 38 | 7 days | 6/18/2008 | 1 | Nasal polyps, sinusitis | cold sweats, dizzyness, mood swings (irritability), concentration problems, reduced sex drive, weight loss, muscle aches, tiredness and major acne problems. | M | 29 | 2 months | 6/12/2008 | 1 | allergies | cleared my nose great but had weak erections and a low sex drive. i'll never take it again. | M | 29 | 2 months | 5/29/2008 | 1 | Sinus infection | Anxiety, considerable insomnia, shaky hands, palpitations, scatterbrained, depression/mood swings | Two doctors and a pharmacist independently recommended Nasonex for my symptoms. I developed these problems fairly quickly but never would have thought it was the nose spray. Get the truth out! Why are these side effects not listed in the "official" information? I never have health problems and am not allergic to anything. These reactions have contributed to a not insignificant problem in my personal life. Thanks Nasonex! | M | 23 | 15 days | 5/29/2008 | 1 | allergies, dizzy | Horrible anxiety, heart palpatations, muscle aches, severe sleeplessnes, dizzy, nausea. | This is the worst medicine I could have taken- All steroids can amp you- this spray made me crazy. I thank God I found this site- I thought I was going crazy. After 2 months of taking this med. I was so anxious I could not sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I was not focused, I was vomitting after I took it. It took 4-7 days- but after I stopped taking this medicine I feel so much better. If you have any of these effects- stop now! My doctor never told me about the possibility of these side effects- I feel like this medicine made me worse. | F | 38 | 51 days | 5/28/2008 | 1 | Mild hay fever | My son (age 4) experienced stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea, extreme mood swings, aggression and rage, crying jags, severe temper tantrums, sleep disturbances, and night terrors. | I can't believe that our pediatrician (who is normally quite on-the-ball about such things) prescribed this for our son -- he was a preemie, with feeding/stomach problems and growth issues, and those are listed right on the official side effects sheet that accompanies Nasonex. To top it off, our son really only has mild allergies! We thought he had just picked up a stomach bug, but after the diarrhea and stomach pains didn't go away, and the other side effects started, we sussed out that it was the Nasonex causing the problems. Thank the gods for this website -- it confirmed our suspicions. We stopped his dosage yesterday, and hope to see an improvement soon. The funny thing is, I am normally the one who is hyper-sensitive to medication, and I have used Nasonex with no problems! I think once our son gets back to normal, we'll just try him on a saline solution spray, to flush his sinuses. | M | 4 | 1 weeks | 5/28/2008 | 1 | Mold Allergy | Irritability, insomnia, depression, anxiety, headaches. | The stuff worked great for a few years, with occasional use. Then I moved to the coast and at my Dr.'s direction, started using twice daily, 12 months out of the year. That's when the problem started. | M | 54 | 5 years | 5/12/2008 | 1 | Allergy | EXTREME tiredness, feeling like in a fog, disoriented, shaky like I've not eaten, but have and am not hungry. Some nosebleeds, some dryness and itchiness in eyes. So, so tired. My entire body aches, all my joints ache and even heavy pain killers don't make it go away. Feels like my joints are locking up on me. Very painful to move around. | I am stopping this medicine immediately. I was given it by my ear, nose and throat doctor to help with my earaches that he said were from allergies. He prescribed two puffs, each nostril, two times a day. Have been on it one week now and finally determined that I'm not getting the flu or the bug around the office again...it's the medicine! My pharmacist said that it can cause these types of side effects. He was great in helping me determine strange side effects from another medicine that turned out to be very common side effects. If you have ANY doubts, check with a pharmacist and ask him/her for the real scoop on the medicine! Tell the ALL your symptoms and ask if he/she has ever run across these same types of complaints while others were on the drug. You may be suprised as to what you hear! | F | 37 | 7 days | 4/17/2008 | 1 | allergies | anxiety!!!!!!joint pain, stomach pain, numbness in arms, hives | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 4/15/2008 |
