| 1 | Sinus | My 7 yr old son who is usually very laid back became angry and depresses. He also woke up several times saying it felt like he had a bubble stuck in his throat, was very disoriented and didn't seem to remember any of it. | M | 7 | 2 days | 1/21/2008 | 1 | inner ear fluid and pain | Numbness, tingling,of both hands and tingling of nose. My thumbs also hurt, I'm having difficulty opening packages. | I also received a steroid shot, at my appointment. I had never used a nasal spray before. No allergies or nasal issues. This was given to me for my ears. I took this product ones a day for about 5 days starting Dec.27 2007 about 2 weeks later i started having this problem. I am very concern. | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/19/2008 | 1 | Allergies and asthma | My son had allergies and was given the drug to treat his runny nose and sinus problems. He has been taking it for three years twice a day. While it seemed to work, he still got sick just as much if not more often. This past Friday, he was diagnosed with nasal polyps and he is only 6 years old which is extremely rare. I cannot seem to find anything related to this other than it is used to helpout with nasal polyps. However, my son is extrmely young to have this condition. | I am concerned this is not a drug for children and feel as if it could have contributed to the polyps. | M | 6 | 3 days | 1/19/2008 | 1 | sinus congestion | anxiety and depression. Complete panic attack. insomnia. i would take big breaths of air in through my mouth but felt that i wasn't getting oxygen. It took 4 hours before the effects subsided to a manageable level. | I thought i was losing my mind. Almost went to the ER. I have never had anxiety or depression before and hope to never experience it again. If i had not Googled "Nasonex", i would have thought i was crazy. I am only 34 and in great physical condition. I have never had a side effect with any drug before. Scary,i didnt think nose spray could cause a mental breakdown. | M | 34 | 1 days | 1/18/2008 | 1 | chronic colds and sinus infections | prescribed for 4 year old daughter - it did clear up her sinuses, but the side effects were too severe to continue it. | This was prescribed for my four year old daughter. It made her agressive, fly into fits of rage, have temper tantrums, hyperness, inability to sleep, she told me at night that her heart and her head were 'going in circles' and she couldn't calm down. | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/15/2008 | 1 | Allergies | nausea, diarrhia, sleeplessness, chest cold | f | M | 2 months | 1/9/2008 | 1 | chronic nasal drip from allergies | Nasal drip better but severe sore throat, tightness in chest, headache, sleeplessness worse every day. To the trash! | F | 48 | 3 days | 1/5/2008 | 1 | sinusitis | change of moods, aggressive outbursts, bad sleeping, heavy breathing, funny cracking sounds from breathing, depressions | M | 50 | 150 days | 1/3/2008 | 1 | sinus congestion/allergies | bloating of stomah...you may think that you are putting on weight,but honestly its just that you are bloated..if you stop taking the product it goes away.its caused lowered sex drive and weak erection.Does cause skin irritation...but you can take an anitihistamine with it to counteract this.lowered energy levels.Its also making me on edge..its like im ready for an argument...hard to control myself..not usually like that.however...the product is very effective at erradicating allergy type symptoms suck as blocked sinuses..sneezing..runny nose...sinus headache.it did not unblock my left ear..so eardrops would be needed for this.oh yea and it gives me acne...spots on my skin. | I would not use this product...but i don't have a choice...since using decongestants gives you that rebound effect when you stop using it..meaning your nose gets use to the decongestant..and gets blocked if you stop using the product...shouldn't use for more than 3 days max..very bad.allergy shots can take upto 6 months to have an effect at suppressing the allergic response to a substance.antihistamines don't stop my sinuses from geting blocked...god wot a dilemma. | M | 23 | 7 days | 1/2/2008 | 1 | Severly swollen nasal passages | jittery, felt as if I were being driven by a motor one minute and tired and weak the next. Felt sick allover, very nervous, anxious and agitated. Fast heart rate and cough. Insomnia, and a disgusting metallic taste that I couldn't get out of my mouth. | This drug is absolutely poision..I will never use it again. The pharmacy acted like well that is unusual for nasonex but I guess it could happen just stop taking it. So none for me today or ever again I threw it away, I wonder how long it takes for this stuff to leave your system. Soon I hope! | F | 32 | 5 days | 12/20/2007 | 1 | sinus problems | ANXIETY! I also could not sleep no matter how tired I was. I am so glad I found this site because I thought I was losing my mind. To top it off it did NOTHING for my sinuses. | F | 55 | 7 days | 12/19/2007 | 1 | son's post nasal drip | 9 year old son took drug at night, next day came home from school complaining he couldn't swallow. Woke up several times in the middle of the night very disoriented and somewhat irrational. Also seems to be producing more mucous. After reading other entries, I am throwing medicine in the garbage. If I only had read this website first, I would never have started him using spray!!! | F | 45 | 2 days | 12/12/2007 | 1 | nasal congestion, asthma | extreme anxiety, agression, flushed face, pounding heart with iregular heartbeats, thrashing arms and legs, holding head and crying, unable to sleep or be calmned down - episode lasted 3 hours | My 4 1/2 yr old grandson who is usually good natured, sweet and easily distracted from any bad behaviour scared me to death within 2 hours of 1 spray in each nostril. Parents report some similar agression but had not linked it to Nasonex dosing. Thank you for this website, I was certain his behaviour was due to this drug, pounding and irregular heartbeats do not come from being over-tired. | F | 56 | 6 months | 12/5/2007 | 1 | Ear conjestion | Severe breathing restriction & hives. Shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling. | This medication did not work with me. I have never had an allergic reation to a medication & I have taken other steriods before, like prednizone, but I really thought this stuff was going to kill me. I couldn't breathe for 2 days over Thanksgiving holidays. I almost went to the ER. My BP went up to 168/116. I only took this for 3 days & I have had the effects of the reaction for the last 5 days. | M | 38 | 3 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | rhinitis | heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, general sleeplessness, inability to fall back to sleep at night, reduced libido | I used to sleep like a baby .. anywhere .. anytime. My symptoms have built up slowly over time. I have been taking it for about 8 months. After having read the reviews on this site, I am going to stop taking it immediately and hope that these symptoms go away soon. | M | 43 | 8 months | 11/25/2007 | 1 | roid rage symptoms | the steroids in Nasonex are called corticosteroids, and they can cause "roid rage" type side effects, such as aggression, depression, mania, violent reactions, and even psychosis. Do a google search on "steroid psychosis" or sidefxdrugs and you will see the side effects corticosteroids can cause. | M | | 11/14/2007 | 1 | Sinus infection/congested/ear fluid | My pediatrician recommended my almost 3 yr old daughter try Nasonex to help break up her congestion. After I gave it to her, she became like a different person. Extremely hyper, unable to focus and listen to our directions, rough with her pets, panicky at bedtime, unable to go to sleep... very unusual for her! In the middle of the night I realized this wasthe first time she had taken Nasonex. I looked at the side effects in the packaging and none were listed like this. Then I found this site, and I can't believe how often this happens to young children. Very scary indeed! | F | 3 | 1 days | 11/13/2007 | 1 | nasal allergies | Constant anxiety. I had a panic attack at my daughters school that put me on my knees. I couldn't move for 20 minutes because my muscles and legs were so weak. My heart was going jump out of my chest. I thought I was going to die. I also have constant pressure in my head and dizziness. | I will never take this medication again. I thought I was going crazy. I have never felt worse in my life. I even went to my doctor and asked what would cause this. I had an EKG done as well as blood work only to find out that I am in perfect health yet I felt like I was going nuts. He said the nasonex should not be causing this but after reading all of these comments I have stopped using Nasonex. I want my life back and not have to worry about having a panic/anxiety attack again. Thank you to all of you for your comments. You saved my life. | M | 35 | 3 months | 11/8/2007 | 1 | environmental allergies | Insomnia, tightness in chest, stomach ache, heart palpitations, uncontrolled emotional outbursts, dizziness, rage, depression, decrease in appetite, sore throat, POUNDING headache that absolutely will not go away that is akin to cluster-migraines, eyes sometimes felt like they had glass in them, panic attacks, photosensitivity, disorientation, CRUSHING sinus headache after a single blast in each nostril, pressure in eyes and ears, ear pain, excessive darkness under eyes, flu-like stomach pain, difficulty concentrating, sinuses so dry BETWEEN sprays that they hurt, EXTREME sensitivity to weather changes, temporary (hopefully) partial vision loss, normally very warm but this seems to make me cold all the time, high blood pressure, blood in nasal secretions, fatigue, forgetfulness, fever blisters, nervousness, feeling like I was having a nervous breakdown, suicidal tendencies, stiffness in neck, bad taste in mouth that even brushing, flossing and hydrating w/ oral rinse doesn't decrease. | Initially given to me about 3 years ago for allergies, but every time I was on it I ended up w/ a severe sinus infection. Began taking it again 8 days ago for allergies and seemed to have ALL of the side effects in the last 8 days. Have NEVER had reactions to medications in my life so I was totally clueless about all this until I searched for "nasonex side effects" on Google. Have thrown out all 3 sprayers I have and will NEVER take this medication again! | M | 41 | 8 days | 11/6/2007 | 1 | dust exposure | IT MADE MY DICK GO LIMP! My mucus bloody and the muscles in my left arm and back of my nose are both sore as the dickens. I have not had a steroid trash me like this since an unfortunate incident w/prednisone 20 yrs ago...bad news for me...weaning starts today! | Dr thinks my condition an adult on set allergy brought on by dust exposure...prescribed w/Claritin <--this stuff is something else as well...Nasonex & Claritin = a cure worse than the disease. | M | 51 | 7 days | 11/2/2007 |
