| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | sinus irritation and headaches. | At first none, but after reading other people's comments I can't help but wonder if Nasonex CAUSED a viral induced case of Bell's palsy that I am recovering from. The doctor said the virus that caused this is the shingles virus. I have not and will not continue Nasonex for any reason. My face is still partially parylyzed. Be forewarned. | M | 56 | 90 days | 8/11/2006 | 1 | Taken for Nasal Polyp | Sore (VERY PAINFUL) Throat, shortness of breath, insomnia. | Within 2 weeks had the absolute WORST sore throat in my life. I wouldnt wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I have never had shortness of breath until taking this garbage, I'm very athletic. My polyps gone down, but I've never felt worse otherwise. My throat is killing me, my tounge is swollen, my mouth hurts soooo bad its difficult to eat, etc etc etc YET I'M NOT SICK! ! ! Thanks Nasonex! Oh and did I mention the bloody nose.... | M | 35 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2006 | 1 | Taken for Nasal Polyp | Sore (VERY PAINFUL) Throat, shortness of breath, insomnia. | Within 2 weeks had the absolute WORST sore throat in my life. I wouldnt wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I have never had shortness of breath until taking this garbage, I'm very athletic. My polyps gone down, but I've never felt worse otherwise. My throat is killing me, my tounge is swollen, my mouth hurts soooo bad its difficult to eat, etc etc etc YET I'M NOT SICK! ! ! Thanks Nasonex! Oh and did I mention the bloody nose.... | M | 35 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2006 | 1 | Horrible sinus pressure | Blurred vision; headache; increased irritability | Wish prescribing ENT physician had told me this was a steroid; since I already suffer from anxiety and Nasonex gave me heart palpitations, etc. Would NOT recommend this medication | F | 52 | 2 weeks | 7/13/2006 | 1 | Allergies | I started having heart palpitations and chest tightness/pain after taking Nasonex. But, it does help my allergies. | I will stop taking Nasonex immediately. | M | 37 | 8 days | 6/15/2006 | 1 | Doctor prescribed for sleep apnea | After 1 week I experience the following: tightness in chest, heart palpitations, dry eyes, joint pain, sore throat with cough, post nasal drip, diminished sense of smell, heightened sense of agitation | F | 59 | 8 days | 5/11/2006 | 1 | Sinusitis | Viral Infection (Herpes), Anxiety, Bloody Nose, Fatigue, Hot/Cold Flasf, Irritability, Depression | This stuff is prescribed like candy and users not warned about side effects. When I mention my problems to my doctor, he looks at me like a deer caught in headlights. My wife notices a change in my mood and behaviour within a couple of days of beginning usage. DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD CHICKEN POX. DO NOT USE IF YOU SUFFER FROM OUTBREAKS OF HERPES ZOSTER, SHINGLES OR GENITAL. DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A STRESSFULL LIFE SITUATION. DO NOT USE IF YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY OR PANIC DISORDERS. | M | 40 | 12 months | 5/10/2006 | 1 | fluid behind one ear | My son has only taken the nasonex for 2 days and he has been off the wall hyper!! It's like nothing I've ever seen. My 5 year old takes it for allergies with no proglems. This has just been a crazy two days and the nasonex is the only thing different. Has anyone else had this problem? 4-25-06 | M | 3 | 2 days | 4/25/2006 | 1 | Fluid in Ears | My son is 22-months-old. Fluid in his ears (but no ear infection) and just constant congestion. After 3 days of taking Nasonex (one time per nostril per day), he complained daily that his head hurt (headaches) and woke up every night screaming that his ears/head hurt. | M | 1.5 | 3 days | 4/24/2006 | 1 | SINUSITIS | AFTER A MONTH OF USING IT, A HAVE HEADACHES, STOMACH ACHE, MUSLE PAINS, EAR INFECTION, STILL HAVE POST NASAL DRIP. I REFUSE TO USE IT AGAIN. | F | 34 | 30 days | 2/26/2006 | 1 | Middle ear fluid | The fluid levels in my son's ears did not disappear despite that that was the main reason for taking Nasonex. And in fact, the fluid levels increased. He subsequently failed several hearing tests and then came down with an awful ear infection. I read that Nasonex decreases immunity so that explains it. I also noticed him complaining about stomach aches (don't know if that is related but read it here also). Lastly, I am concerned about his recent irritability and anger - definitely heightened. I would like to hear any similar comments. Submitted 2-20-2006. | M | 6 | 3 days | 2/20/2006 | 1 | septoplasty | bad taste and bad smell | Totally ineffective in my case. No positive effects on my chronic sneezing. I persisted due to doctor pressure, to no clear benefit. | M | 48 | 1 years | 7/24/2005 | 1 | Sinusitus | Nasonex worked great to clear up my stuffy nasal passages but after about 3-4 weeks of taking it, I started to get severe nose bleeding that wouldn't stop (30 minutes of pressure finally stopped it). Not only that but the blood ran out of both my nasal passages (another potential side effect if perforated septum -- perhaps I have this, I will find out at my doctor's appt today). I don't recommend taking Nasonex. This was written on 19 July 2005. | M | 31 | 4 weeks | 7/19/2005 | 1 | allergies | It seemed to be helping for about a week, then i started getting a sore throat, then nose bleeds that lasted an hour at a time, then muscle aches, a cough, congestion,sores in my nose,loss of voice, and it ended with an upper respertory infection...thanx nasonex! | Please think twice before you use this product or any steroid medication. | M | 29 | 14 days | 4/11/2005 | 1 | middle ear fluid for my 6 year old | used for 14 days for fluid in one ear.After using it fluid level increased in that ear and the other ear also got filled with fluid.Use with caution | please send me feed back if anyone has a similar experience or better experience with any other medicine | M | 6 | 14 days | 11/5/2004 | 1 | allergies | My son, 8 yrs old, an asthmatic, developed a sore throat and trouble breathing after one use and ended up in the emergency room with croup-like sytmptoms. use caution with youths and asthmatics and watch for side-effects. | M | 8 | 1 days | 5/22/2003 | 2 | treatment after sinus infection | Mood swings, depression, confusion, and most disturbing of all, ANGER. Not every minute of every day, but spiking sharp and fierce at the least provocation. I felt scared and out of control. The hypochondriac side of me was going places like brain tumor until it occurred to me it might have something to do with the steroids. Four days after stopping, my normal mood returned and the anger subsided. Now, one week out, I'm still very fatigued but assume it is just the hangover from my body having been so revved up. I'm certain it will pass with a bit of rest. But, wow, this was a scary time. A word that I've noticed which keeps repeating in these reviews is 'poison'. It's funny... I kept referring to my issue as 'brain poison.' It's very apt. | I wouldn't presume to tell others whether they should take it or not. It is a commonly prescribed drug and works for many, many people. (I'm sure the amount of negative reviews on this site is due to it attracting a self-selecting group: the aggrieved. When something works fine, you don't wind up on such sites.) However, if, like me, you have a history of a mood disorder, and even if your current treatment for it is working, I'd advise you to discuss with your doctor and proceed with caution. Or stop at the first signs of trouble and see if that works. Of course, if in a week or so after quitting you're still having symptoms, you may need to investigate for other causes. [disclaimer: I am not a healthcare professional] | F | 60 | 3 weeks 1X day | 8/29/2023 | 2 | Nasal polyps postnasal drip | Stomach ache. Really tired headache reduced appetite dry mouth aching legs feeling sick stuffy nose | This isn't good stuff at all | F | 46 | 4 weeks 2X day | 1/4/2023 | 2 | Polyps | Tightness in chest and throat, anxiety, heart palpitations, tiredness and depression, headaches and stomach issues. | Side effects slowly crept up and after 3 days using the spray I checked online and found this forum. Will be stopping this evening and asking for an alternative. | M | 40 | 3 days 2 spray ea 2X day | 12/20/2022 | 2 | Sinusitis | It gave me very intense throat pain and difficulty swallowing. I was also experiencing significant tightness in my chest that would cyclically come and go throughout the day. I was initially attributing this to my pneumonia recovery from 6 weeks ago, but it got worse as the week went on. Finally called the pharmacy after waking up wheezing at 3 am, and they said to stop taking it immediately. | It seems like i am allergic to either the drug or something in it, but it also did nothing at all to help clear my sinuses - if anything, I feel like it may have blocked them further. However, I can understand that everybody's physiology is different and not all meds work the same for all people. | M | 35 | 6 days 2 sprays 2X day | 12/13/2019 |
