| 1 | My 5-year old son took Nasonex for only a few days and he got so strange. He would not listen, he was repeating sentences on and on like "Sure I moved my arm." and "Sure I turned my head". His look in his eyes was strange. We stopped taking Nasonex immidiately! | M | 5 | 4 days | 6/19/2007 | 1 | clear allergies | My 8 year old son on the 3rd night of taking this screamed in the middle of the night, seemed disoriented, had severe leg twitching and was jumping all around. He appeared very panicky. This happened 4 other times during the night and now I find your website in the morning with other similar experiences. | M | 8 | 3 days | 6/10/2007 | 1 | sinus infection | my child refused to go to bed, became aggressive..and abusive toward me as well as her brother..then we had effects of lack of sleep in a 4 year old. | F | 4 | 60 days | 6/5/2007 | 1 | Nasal congestion, hay fever | Horrible heart palpatations, shortness of breath, jittery, anxiety - the feeling like I was going to faint if I didn't sit down, dry mouth and nervousness. I am an otherwise very calm, laid back person. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I went to the doctor and they told me to take Prilosec because I had heartburn- wrong. I finally figured this out on my own. Stop taking this med. what it can do you is scary. I threw it in the garbage can and will never take it again. I've had a headache for 4 days now. | I had an EKG done because my heart was beating out of my chest. It was normal. I had a CBC done and it was normal too. My pulse was normal but my blood pressure was on the high end of normal. Be careful when using this spray- it isn't worth it! | F | 41 | 5 days | 5/27/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Heart palpatations, muscles ache, weird dreams can't sleep. | I took Nasonex for 3 days last week and noticed my heart was skippindg beats. I got real nervous and went to the family Dr. and he said the palpatations were normal however I never in my life had these symptoms before until taking Nasonex. I stopped using it last Thurs. and five days later am still having symptoms. I hope the palpatations go away I'm only 33yrs old. Nasonex is the only thing I took for my allergies that could be giving me these symptoms. Can any one give me some insight when these symptoms should get out of my systom? Thanks | M | 33 | 3 days | 5/22/2007 | 1 | nasal congestion | Very bad headaches. Dry lips and mouth. | Cleared my sinuses but had gave me headaches that equalled the ones when you stop drinking coffee. Nothing I took got rid of the headaches. Would rather have a little congestion than those headaches! The headaches started on day 5 or 6 and were there when I got up until I went to bed. | M | 40 | 2 weeks | 5/19/2007 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Anxiety, panic attacks, jittery, trouble concentrating/lightheaded, blurred vision in left eye, shaky muscles, shortness of breath. When I have to urinate, the urge becomes immediate, bladder control problems. | The medicine has helped with my nasal congestion. It worked well in terms of opening my sinuses but the side effects are too extreme to continue taking the medicine. | M | 39 | 4 weeks | 5/17/2007 | 1 | allergies, polyps, congestion | HORRIBLE mildewy smell, increased nasal congestion, chronic sinus infection, fatigue, irritability, sinus pain and pressure | My allergist added nasonex to my medicine routine after I had sinus suregery to have several polyps removed and to clean out my sinuses and fix my deviated septum. I had this surgery in January and began taking nasonex in February. I have had a sinus infection since February that I cannot get cleared up. I am now on an oral antibiotic, prednisone and and antibiotic rinse (which is no fun to take!). AFter reading these comments, I am convinced that the Nasonex has caused this 3 month infection. After my surgery in Jan., my ENT surgeon said all my sinuses were clean and infection free. It's a shame that after going through the pain of recovering from surgery(and out $5,000) and being well for one month, a bottle of nose spray has practically put me back at square one!!! I have also trashed my Nasonex and will tell everyone I know not to use it!! | F | 35 | 3 months | 5/17/2007 | 1 | Allergies and post nasal drip | anxiety, chest pressure, shortness of breath | was on it for about 3 weeks and I already have problems with being anxious and this medicine just hyped me up big time, not to mention the pressure in my chest and shortness of breath. I have been off of it for 4 days now and all the symptoms are starting to go away | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 5/16/2007 | 1 | Nasal congestion | It turned me into a grumpy mean old man.It chaged my personality from a quite easy going person to one who would get very nasty if someone said something I did not like. | This is the 2nd time I have tried Nasonex.I will never use it again.My wife agrees with me that this stuff is not good for your mental health. | M | 70 | 6 months | 5/9/2007 | 1 | allergies,sinus infections | anxiety,unability to concentrate,dry mouth,inbalance,ear pressure,agitation,fatigue,nervousness,dizziness | for the longent time i thought i was suffering from some sort of vertigo and and anxiety disorder,i even saw a therapist about who quikckly wanted to prescribe more meds(didnt help),i got off those but my symptoms were still persistant,i then got off the nasonex and was fine.i believe this medication should very much be off the market. | F | 18 | 4 months | 5/9/2007 | 1 | inflammation when diving and flying | Full-blown anxiety attacks that brought me to my knees for hours on 3 separate days. My heart was beating out of my chest, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't walk, etc. Low-grade, constant anxiety the rest of the time. | I only used Nasonex for 10 days. For the first 4 days, I had no problems. On the 5th day, out of the blue, I was hit by an anxiety attack so bad I thought I was going to have to call 911. It lasted for several hours. The next day, same thing. I went to the Dr. this time. He did an EKG and complete blood work. I am totally healthy. So, he prescribed Xanax for the anxiety. I thought I was losing my mind. The Xanax did not help, by the way. Several days later, another attack, while I was driving down the highway. Somehow, miraculously, I ended up stopped on the shoulder. I have no idea how I got there. I have no recollection of actually driving across 3 lanes of traffic and parking on the shoulder. I read and re-read the literature included with Nasonex and it does not mention anxiety as a possible side-effect at all. Unbelievable! It wasn't until I googled Nasonex side effects that I found 100s of people reporting the same problems. I am furious. I have lost a week of my life, thought I | F | 43 | 10 days | 5/6/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Twitching, dry mouth, dizziness, lack of appetite, | Glad I read this website. In just a few days of Nasonex I started having twitching in my left eye, dizziness, anxiety, lack of appetite, which is not a bad thing, but am going to stop taking this right now. | F | 51 | 4 days | 4/30/2007 | 1 | To reduce snoring and improve sleep | Developed allergy like symptoms; sneezing and stuffiness. I also became drowsy and developed a soar throat. I felt increasingly worse after each day of taking this drug. | Breathed better prior to using the prescription. Stopping the drug today. | F | 60 | 5 days | 4/20/2007 | 1 | allergies | I experienced lip swelling..heart palpatations,terrible insomnia,jittery,anxiety, twitching in arms or legs. | I'll never use nasonex again if my life depended on it. Im so glad I found this site to know other people have experienced these side effects. I told my pharmacist about the site and how others had the same reactions and he basically said its all in our heads. I hope it gets out of my system soon cause im still having these symptoms after not taking it for 4 or 5 days. Please share your exp. with me. | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 4/18/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Eye twitching, increased pressure in left eye, anxiety, pounding heart, dizziness, constant dripping nose, irritated eyes and throat, ringing in ears. | After reading all of these comments I am thankful that I believe I have found out what has been wrong with me!I just had an eye doc appointment yesterday to find out that I have increased pressure behind my left eye.Doing research on Glaucoma led me to the warning that long-term use of Nasonex can cause this disease.What a shock!I have suffered from panic attacks for years and my heart always seems to be pounding harder than it should.Could this be a cause?After reading everyone's side effects, I am convinced it is.I am weaning myself off.Thanks to the person who expressed caution in weaning off.I know that when I ran out of a bottle in the past, my headaches were terrible and am concerned about discontinuing. | F | 46 | 6 years | 4/17/2007 | 1 | allergies/nasal drip | extreme sleeplessness for weeks, ever since i started it | two nights off the meds -- both nights have slept well | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 4/12/2007 | 1 | fluid in ears | My 2 year old son woke up in the middle of the night screaming of pain in his ears after only 2 doses. Doctor did not think it was the Nasonex and wanted me to continue the medication. I refused and he has not had any pain in his ears since coming off the medication. Use with caution on children! | M | 2 | 2 days | 3/23/2007 | 1 | Allergies | At first I loved the Nasonex. I was finally able to breathe. After about 3 weeks of use I started getting POUNDING headaches, a sore throat, and VERY irritable. I will never use again and will warn people about it! | WHY do we take things that our doctors get paid for prescribing? The next time my doctor prescribes something to me I will do my research and find out all the side effects before using! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme irritability, sore throat, POUNDING headaches, dry sinuses, no sleep | This will be the last time I take a prescription that my doctor gets paid for prescribing without knowing in full ALL of the symptoms. I'm still experiencing the side effects and haven't taken Nasonex in three days now! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 |
