| 1 | acute sinusitis and ear pain | After just two days, I felt agitated and had trouble sleeping. Plus now the discharge from my nose is bloody, and my throat feels more sore than before. | The doctor prescribed Nasonex to help the inflammation in my eustachian tubes. My ears still feel "clogged," only now I have additional misery from side effects! I just called my doctor's office and told them I don't wish to continue taking this drug. | F | 52 | 3 days | 10/31/2007 | 1 | allergy congestion | Irritable, depression, fatigue, insomnia, queasy stomach, light headed, jittery, and weak. | I thought I was coming down with something. It took me two times using it before I figured out it might be the Nasonex. Being active, it is unlike me to not want to eat. I used it once a day at bed time. Seem to feel worse as the next day went on. I will see how I feel tomorrow, after not taking it tonight. Better I hope. | F | 53 | 2 days | 10/28/2007 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My 3 year old daughter was crying uncontrolably; said she "couldn't breathe"; kept grabing her chest; would stare off into space and repeat the same word 50 times; acted violent towards her dolls - ALL symptoms completely disappeared after NASONEX was stopped | Pediatrician recommended "parenting classes" when I mentioned the symptoms; allergist swore NASONEX could not produce these symptoms ... I went with my gut instinct, pulled the meds after reading some of the comments on this website and within 12 hours, I was able to see a difference, within 48 hours, my little girl was back to her normal self. PARENTS LEARN FROM THIS - RESEARCH THESE DRUGS BEFORE GIVING TO YOUR CHILDREN! | F | 3 | 14 days | 10/26/2007 | 1 | inflamed nasal passage/clogged | annoying cough & runny nose. | F | 37 | 4 days | 10/23/2007 | 1 | allergies | mood swings, anxiety | F | 7 | 60 days | 10/18/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Sore throat, shortness of breath (more than normal from my BP medicine), one or two bouts of palpitations, trouble sleeping. Until reading comments on this site, I didn't realize all of the above could be attributed to this drug and which are recent developments. | Worked great for two weeks. Woke up one morning with a sore throat. Forgot to take it the next night and sore throat was gone. Started up (took one more time)and had a headache and sore throat. Bye bye Nasonex! | M | 65 | 21 days | 10/17/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme pain in nose/nostrils, so much so that I can't talk without taking painkillers because any movement of my nose is excruciatingly painful. Been painful for over a week, despite stopping the Nasonex completely. | For the first month, this spray was great; I didn't ever sneeze, no nasal burning, I was an allergy-free person for the first time in years! Then out of the blue my nose became completely swollen and painful and itchy - but because it was too sore to touch, I couldn't do anything about it. Stopped using the spray, but over a week later, I am still on painkillers almost all day; if not, my nose is screaming in pain, and causing my head to hurt intensely behind the eyes, like a sinus headache. My doctor recommends waiting a few more days to see if it subsides (!) but I am not going to start using Nasonex again, even when the pain is over. | F | 26 | 39 days | 10/13/2007 | 1 | Sinus infection | I have been having heart palpitations, and my heart beats rapidly and very hard. Also, there has been a heaviness in my head, and I've noticed that my blood pressure has been high for the past few days. I'm afraid to continue my usage. | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 10/9/2007 | 1 | allergies, sinus issues | Frightening!!!! Agitation, insomnia, progressed to RAGE, pounding heart, unable to concentrate, very lightheaded and dizzy, inside of nose felt raw like it had opened a wound. Felt so negative and depressed I wanted to die. | It did help reduce the swelling in my nose, but the cost in side effects was devastating. Why don't they mention the 'roid rage in their literature? Why don't they make a smaller dose?...like a Pediatric dose? This "one size fits all" is nonsense. I would be willing to try about 1/4 the "normal" lowest dose. They could sell a lot more if they metered it in smaller doses so people had options. I tried alterating using it every other day, it still packs a hell of a punch. | F | 51 | 2 days | 10/2/2007 | 1 | fractured nose, swelling | dizziness, tingling and numbness in right leg, complete loss of use of leg momentarily, headache, bad taste in mouth, loss of appetite, reflux. | I've stopped taking it. | F | 60 | 7 days | 9/17/2007 | 1 | nasal blockage, congestion | My heart has been 'fluttering', very un-nerving. Horrible headaches, dry throat, pain in my right eye and increased pressure in my head. I actually feel more blocked and more pressure than before! Not to mention the scary heart palpitations...I've only been taking this product for 2 days! So glad I found this site, as I'll now be chucking it in the bin. | F | 26 | 2 days | 9/12/2007 | 1 | Nasal Inflammation | Severe heart palpatations, anxiety and insomnia. | Thank God for this site - I thought I was going crazy! I have severe heart palpations and anxiety and didn't make the connection to Nasonex until coming to this site. I had an EKG and 24 monitor earlier this week b/c of these severe side effects and my doc noticed lots of PVC's - still waiting on results, but I can honestly say I've felt like I was having a heart attack since I began Nasonex 3 weeks ago. I'm still having irregular heart beats constantly but will not use this product again and hope it doesn't take too long to get out of my system. | F | 38 | 3 weeks | 9/7/2007 | 1 | Rhinitis | The spray worked great at first. It was a sample pack from Dr. to get me started. Suggested that my breathing would probably improve after two weeks. Wow,the fisrt night amazing results. It was first time I could sleep a full night without nose strips. o After about two weeks of use develop a sore throat. Within couple of days it was like I had an apple in my throat and swallowing became very painfull! I developed a very dry and painfull cough. After another week I started to get pains in my chest and what I had thought was very bad heartburn. My heart felt like it was beating out of control and I also thought someone was standing on my chest. So much for my good night sleeps as even though I could breath freely I was paying for this in other ways. I enjoy a cold beer and the other night I had one and it was one of the most painfull experiances attempting to swallow as it burned all the way down. I didn't make the connection with the spray but that is why I am posting this. I thought | I have had 3 nasal surgeries due a sports accident while in high school. This past spring I had decided to seek advise form another Doctor as my breathing was terible especially at night while trying to sleep. When she looked ino my nasal cavity with a scope she suggested that past sugery worked well and she could no improve what had been done. She did make menion that I had rinitis??? and felt hat If I tried nasonex that It should work well. | M | 49 | 6 weeks | 8/26/2007 | 1 | sinusitis | Heart palpitations | Its very disturbing that the maker of this does not mention this common side effect. I do not feel safe taking it. Also because it can cause Rhinitis, viral infections, etc it may make the original problem worse. Most of the information out there states that these steroid sprays are topical and do not pose a threat from systemic side effects. Even steroid creams can be absorbed and cause problems! Any time a corticosteroid is used no matter the dosage form, there are risks, these are dangerous drugs! MY HEART FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO BEAT RIGHT OUT OF MY CHEST! They may have a cute little bee on their tv commercial but there is nothing cute about this drug. | M | 25 | 2 weeks | 8/24/2007 | 1 | constant nasal allergies | My son was given nasonex to treat his runny nose and congestion... well almost immediately he became a different little boy. He's normally very sweet and cuddly and after the 1st days of the prescription he was moody and would yell at me - completely disobedient and irritable. It was a verrrry noticeable change and I was at my wits end with him until it dawned on me that the nasonex could be to blame. | We called the ENT who prescribed this med and were told that it did not get into the blood stream and could not be causing the problems we were experiencing... But, a week after we have gotten rid of the nasonex my son is starting to come back to normal ... the only change is that his nose is stuffy again... I am currently researching what else to give him but i know it WON'T be nasonex! | M | 6 | 3 weeks | 8/23/2007 | 1 | Severe allergies and hayfever | at first hyperness, anxiousness, headache. Later mood swings and loss of appetite, eye twitching, and DIZZINESS was the biggest | Was on Nasonex for one month and went off because didn't like how it made me feel. Worked AWESOME for allergy symptoms but the side effects and cost are NOT worth it. Now that I'm off for 3 weeks I still have the side effects!!!!!!!! When will it stop? Thought I had the flu or was pregnant... dizzy.. no appetite. Then I thought maybe it was my vision since I had the twitching. Before I went to eye doctor I thought I'd check about side effects of Going OFF Nasonex. What I've found is shocking. The pharmacist was clueless about these effects when I called him 2 weeks ago. | F | 32 | 1 months | 8/7/2007 | 1 | allergies | At first it was okay then next thing I know I was always angry and I got so mad one time that I ran over my ex boyfriend but luckliy I could plead insanity due to medicine and not have any jail time I even had bad dreams and I would wake up and been done urinated on myself. Dont take that it will mess u up!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 22 | | 8/2/2007 | 1 | Chronic sinititus | This was prescribed for my 7 year old daughter. Although within 3 days this medication did an outstanding job clearning her sinuses, there were some VERY BAD side effects not mentioned. Quite frequently she would awake a night seeming to be disoriented, walk around crying and shaking, saying things that made no sense. It was scary and freaky to watch this and in the morning she didn't remember any of it. Her mood was quickly progressing to being hostle and angry which is not like her at all. We decidided to take her off this stuff and she is back to sleeping well and normal tempered. Tried to file an adverse reaction report but like most things it gets lost in the deep pockets of the drug companies. | Works well but be warned of major side effects not listed or admited to be the drug company. | M | 36 | 7 days | 7/24/2007 | 1 | Allergy, chronic nasal congestion | Extreme jitters, anxiety, loss of appetitie, nausea, flu-like symptoms, heart palpitations | Have only taken Nasonex for 12 days, and a few days ago, I started having extreme anxiety and lost my appetite. For the past 2 days, cannot sleep or eat. After stumbling across this site, I have decided to stop taking this immediately. Thank God, that I found this, and am not the only one that has suffered these unpleasant side effects. Does anyone know how long it takes for the side effects to subside? Please let me know. Thank you. | F | 37 | 12 days | 7/3/2007 | 1 | sinusitus | Sore inner nose, excess fluid in ear, dizziness, anxiety, pain in face | I took this 11 weeks ago. I have since had trouble with dizziness. Been to Ent specialist as docotr suspected vertigo, I am still not well, due to increased ear fluid and facial pain. I am convinced if I had never taken it I would be well today. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 7/2/2007 |
