| 1 | to keep ear passages free | I don't know if anyone else had this experience, but I actually lost the central vision in my left eye after taking Nasonex for 1 month.I had day surgery to remove my adnoids after experiencing 2 years of ear touble in my left ear. The ENT doctor put me on Nasonex to help keep my ear canal passages free . And then one day I noticed I couldn't really see well out of my left eye, I have agood freind that is an optometrist and he saw me right away. He sent me to a retnal specialist, who diagnosed me with central vision loss due to taking Nasonex, I was told to immediatly stop taking Nasonex. My ENT doctor had never heard of such a thing and had the specialist send him info on this. He thought the fluid that built up behind my left eye would probably absorb back into the body and go away on its own. But, I have had 3 appointments so far with the retnal specialist and it has not gotten any better, no worse, no better. I go again in 5 weeks and if it is not better he will do laser surgery. | M | 47 | 30 days | 3/2/2007 | 1 | sinus pain, drip, persistent stuffe | Second day nosebleed that would not stop. After six hours, had bleeding area cauterized. What a shame! $65.00 for three shots. | There shoulld be physician samples before such a waste of money. | M | 83 | 2 days | 2/11/2007 | 1 | asthma | frequent nose bleeds, dizziness and total loss of smell and taste | doctor suggested going to a single dose each day but i have now completely stopped taking nasonex as of one week ago but still no sense of smell | M | 56 | 4 months | 2/3/2007 | 1 | allergies/asthma | I was on it for about a month. Got extremely jittery and anxious, like I was on Prednisone. Severe insomnia and tingling of arms and legs. The insomnia and axiety hampered my recovery from a mild concussion/vertigo since I got less rest than I needed. | I called the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist who prescribed it and he denied that the steroid is absorbed by the blood stream! The pharmacist also said that I could take Nasonex with Singulair but that was a disaster for me --waves of anxiety and adrenaline. Am much relieved that others have had this experience and that I am not just "stressed out." It took me some time to realize that the anxiety is the result of the med's and not my head injury, general anxiety disorder (as my internist would have me believe) or the vertigo. I have made great strides in my recovery since I went off the med's. | F | 48 | 32 days | 1/28/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Cleared a stuffy nose but at the cost of very painfull sinus like someone was buring the inside of my face. Didnt help runny nose or sneezing at all. Exitabilty and seemed to cause fluid in my ears and heart was beating oddly kinda scary. | Not worth the pain it caused 4 more problems and it kinda fixed 1. Do not use I've got 2 full bottles going in the trash as I type. Screw you Nasonex | M | 25 | 1 days | 1/19/2007 | 1 | sinus congestion | Have taken nasonex for 3 days. Have had insomnia and headaches, am jittery and dizzy for about 4-5 hours after taking medication. | Has not helped the congestion in fact it seems worse | F | 44 | 3 days | 1/17/2007 | 1 | nasal allergies | My daughter acted like she was on a motor. Poor listening and aggressive. | All other websites (including the company) state that the side effects were flu-like symptoms, respiratory issues...etc. Thank you to all who wrote in about manic-like symptoms. It is a horrible side effect. | F | 6 | 1 weeks | 12/30/2006 | 1 | Allergy, nose congestion | fingers pain, toes pain, mussels pain, anxiety, joint pain, lungs tightness, less sleep, numbness. | It works great in terms of treating nasal allergy symptoms that I have. I start then developing fingers pain, then toes and joints pain. I used to have chest pain (may be from the Flonase I sue to take). So, I did not wonder of the chest pain that I have. However, the fingers, joint, and toes pain made me see different primary doctors and two orthopedists. Blood tests were good, bones were good, nerves were good. So, I was left with two possible diagnoses: rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. There were no rheumatoid specialists in the two where I live. So, I had appointment with one in other city after four months. During this period, I ran out of the two NASONEX samples my primary doctor gave to me; hence, I did not use it for one week. I start noticing that the symptoms of fingers pain, toes pain, numbness have disappeared. I thought NASONEX may be the cause. I decide to do some search over the internet about the side effect of NASONEX. To my surprise, I find similar symptoms reported in t | M | 42 | 90 days | 12/26/2006 | 1 | Nasal Allergies | Lip swelling, fever blisters, terrible nosebleeds | Son woke up with lip swollen 3x it's normal size--so big that it was splitting down the middle and bleeding/oozing. Two days later, fever blisters developed on top of it and terrible nosebleeds began (both nostrils, heavy flow, difficult to stop). 3 prescriptions were needed to heal him. | M | 8 | 1 months | 12/19/2006 | 1 | fluid in ears, allergies | Significant heart palpatations, fluttering, dry cough, blood in nasal secretions,tightness in chest with deep inhalation. Symptoms last for a day or two after using nasonex. The heart palpatations were very unnerving. My physician said it wouldn't cause this but there is nothing else different. One month ago same thing happeded but the physician said it was from Allegra D. I just resumed nasonex last night and lo and behold the palpatations started again. | Took for 3 weeks then later for 2 days. Will no longer take it because the side effects are worse than the problems I am having. | F | 35 | | 12/14/2006 | 1 | sinus congestion | irritability,depression,reduced sex drive,increased pressure in ears and lower sinuses,noticed an odd smell all the time kept thinking things were mildewy, blood in mucuous, decreased energy level, itchy skin,dry eyes with redness... I will not use again. | This was my second bottle and am probably half done with it. I had just told my wife today that I felt extremely depressed and also asked her if the house smelled odd. She advised no. Noticed odd smells at work also. This website was a great relief to me. Thanks!!! | M | 52 | 6 weeks | 12/13/2006 | 1 | allergies | i have been taking nasonex for a week now,i have noticed i have had a very high level of anxiety,irritable,heart racing,kind of scary.i will stop immediatly!!!!!!!!! has anyone else experinced this? | F | 34 | 7 days | 12/12/2006 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My 7 year old daughter became very moody and tearful! | F | 35 | 7 days | 12/2/2006 | 1 | Rhinitis | Used for several years with no problem. During the past 2 years however I have been developing viral infections in my nose that are very painful. Wasn't sure at first they were caused by Nasonex, but am now. I would stop using it and the infections would eventually go away, but when I started using it again they would return almost immediately. | Highly effective in controling my rhinitis symptoms. | M | 47 | 10 years | 11/28/2006 | 1 | Allergies and sinusitis | Anxiety, heart palpitations, twitch eyelid, dry and red eyes (I wear contact lens), stomach ache, even depression sometimes. | It's such a bad idea to use it while you have to write a 400 pages thesis within half an year. | M | 35 | 12 weeks | 11/28/2006 | 1 | allergies | Heart palpitations, fluttering, skipped beats | I have used Nasonex on and off for 3 years with never a problem. I don't take any other medication. This time, I noticed heart palpitations for 5 or six hours every time I use it. If I don't use it, they go away. I am going to mention this to my ENT and will discontinue use. | F | 49 | 21 days | 11/27/2006 | 1 | environmental allergies | Hives after only 4 days of use. Used a total of 6 days. Will discontinue use starting tommorow. This is bad news!!! | This stuff did work. My nasal passages were clear. But will seek other treatment | M | 53 | 6 days | 11/27/2006 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Rash, armpit and groin area lesions with a smelly discharge, irritability, shortness of breath, nasal irritation, nose bleeds and problems with urination. | I had no idea what was causing my adverse reactions or my skin lesions and had to visit a doctor who placed me on steroids and a salve to clear them up. I had been using samples of Nasonex provided me by my physician. I ran out of the sample a couple of weeks before I got a prescription for the Nasonex. During that time my lesions were totally gone. As soon as I started back on the Nasonex the lesions returned and I finally made the connection and stopped using the Nasonex entirely. I would not recommend this product to anyone for any reason. My family physician unfortunately is one who worships at the altar of pharmaceutical companies and is very hesitant to believe that anyone has any ill effects from any drugs he prescribes. | F | 65 | 2 months | 10/16/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symptoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symtoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - but I am very thankful to have my life back. | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 |
