| 2 | Polyps and sinus | At first, I cured my nose blocked. But after 1 week, i got severe headache, dizziness, lost of smell and taste. Now I am having blood tinged in phlegm or mucus on and off and just did nose cauterization last month to stop the bleeding. Still i have some bleeding now. It is also causing me to have dry cough now. But overall, my polyps shrunk. | 37 | 7 months 2x/day | 12/8/2018 | 2 | Post Nasal Drip | Tingling/numbness in arms and hands. Difficulty sleeping because of this. | M | 47 | 14 days 1 Spray 1X day | 2/9/2017 | 2 | Eustachian Tube Dysfunction | I moved on to Nasonex because other sprays were not working well. It appeared to be OK for the first few weeks and helped the ETD I suffer from. I have persevered in the hope things would get better but I now suffer from very odd headaches which tingle and my head feels a little numb at times. The headaches are often localised to particular parts e.g near the right near my ear or top of my head. The numbess has at times spread to around my eyes although not constant. I also feel quite anxious and feel on edge at times. I sometimes wake up during the night feeling very anxious. I initially suffered from nose bleeds but these subsided after a few weeks. | M | 51 | 8 weeks 2X day | 7/6/2015 | 2 | Allergies | Upset Stomach | Drug worked great. Even after using it once, I felt life was so good, once again, because allergies were debilitating. Then... Side Effects kicked in. My stomach rebelled. It was like bad acid reflux. Even though I ate tums, the stomach pain persisted on throughout the day, and at night, my stomach gurgled. This is highly unusual for me. I stopped the meds. But still have less pain next day. May try cutting the does but, this does not bode well for my tolerance of this medication. | F | 43 | 1 days 1X day | 3/3/2015 | 2 | Eustation tube dysfunction | Severe anxiety, panicky, tight feeling in chest, felt like I couldn't breath. My mind was going bonkers and I couldn't stop pacing the floor. Symptoms stopped the day after I stopped taking it. | F | 50 | 8 days 200 mcg 1X day | 2/7/2015 | 2 | Sinus Polyps | Anxiety, panic attacks, feeling like going to die, feeling out of it | I took nasonex in the past for about a year with no issues. I had gotten pregnant so I stopped taking it for a year. Started taking it again last month & within 48 hours the symptoms started. I will not be taking this again, would rather deal with sinus issues than to deal with the side effects. | F | 26 | 1 months 50 MCG 2X day | 1/2/2015 | 2 | persistent cough - no allergies | Coughing - | Nasinex was prescribed for a cough which continued over 2 weeks after a cold. I have no allergies. I continued to cough. After reading the comments on this site, I stopped using it. I think it is a dangerous drug that no one should take. | M | 78 | 7 days 50mcg 2X day | 5/24/2014 | 2 | allergies/sinusitis | Deep head pain between the eyes. Confusion. Tremors. Diminished sense of smell and taste. Tingling sensations of upper back. Fatigue. It seemed like everything had a musty smell, though no one else could smell it. | This was begun at the first symptoms of sinus problems to try to stave off a sinus infection. This resulted in having full-blown sinus pain. I had no nasal drainage and was able to breathe through my nose. I was placed on an antibiotic, amoxicillin 875 mg, I believe. First round did not get rid of my sinus infection, so the Rx was refilled. I continued to feel so awful generally on top of the other specific symptoms. It finally occurred to me to look up the side effects of Nasonex since I realized that I had become worse after beginning it. Eureka. I did not take it yesterday or today. My thinking is much better today. My sinuses still seem to be messed up deep in my upper forehead. I was so bad that I thought I must surely have a brain tumor or cancer of the sinuses and, who knows, maybe I do! All I know is that I have stopped the Nasonex and I feel better today than I have in months, even though I still have a ways to go in feeling 100% better. This stuff used to work for me, although I noticed the last time I was on it that I developed a dry cough, so I stopped it then. This time, no dry cough -- side effects were much much worse this time! Today I caught a whiff of an aroma, so there is hope. | F | 58 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 4/1/2014 | 2 | sinus infections | Sinus infections got worse over time..also experienced shortness of breath like a tightness in diaphragm area and fast heart rate..actually ended up in ER with these symptoms...think I wil just put up with stuffy nose! | F | 33 | 4 weeks 2 sprays | 2/15/2014 | 2 | Middle ear fluid caused by a cold | Severe anxiety, irregular heartbeat, jitters, feelings of hopelessness, sweaty palms and feet and stomach upset. | This drug was prescribed for middle ear effusion. After the 5 th day I began feeling strangely depressed and anxious. Also had feelings of disorientation and dizziness.i plan to discontinue immediately. Hoping since I've only been on it for 8 days I won't experience any severe withdrawals. | F | 36 | 8 days 50mcg 1X day | 1/16/2014 | 2 | allergies | This stuff is horrible! I couldn't figure out the culprit til after almost two months of using this stuff; however, I'm glad it finally registered. It seemed like after i would take it, and every time, my symptoms would be worse, but i just figured it was because of high pollen days. But i specifically paid attention the last day i took it a few days ago. As soon as i took it i felt like my head would explode. Immediately my ears, nose and head felt full and congested and stayed that way the entire day. I stopped taking it a few days ago and haven't felt that way since.My side effects were: being jittery, anxiety, moodiness, insomnia, increased congestion, feeling out of sorts, dizziness. Would never take again, would rather deal with allergy symptoms. Definitely wouldn't recommend for a child especially. | F | 41 | 2 months | 8/23/2013 | 2 | Sinus congestion alleged agergy. | Dry painful sinus with thick mucosa which is very hard to shift. Headache , insomnia , terrible taste in the mouth, some general agitation and anxiety. | Side effects seem to be worse than the original complaint, which I suspect may be an infection and not allergy anyway. No sleep a major problem. | M | 67 | 5 weeks 50ug 1X day | 7/29/2013 | 2 | sinus congestion | dizziness, ear pressure, absent minded | F | 36 | 2 weeks 1X day | 4/27/2013 | 2 | Cold symptoms | Experienced bad headache. | I have insurance that covered most of the cost of the Rx, thankfully. But when I asked how much it really cost, was told $188! For a small vial---seriously??? And that it was one of the cheaper options. Way overpriced for what it does. No wonder our health care system is in the mess it's in. | F | 58 | 5 days 50 mg 1X day | 3/25/2013 | 2 | Seasonal allergies & nasal swelling | Severe Sore throat, difficulty swallowing, constant headache, night sweats & irritability more than usual. | F | 29 | 2 weeks 50 mg | 12/2/2012 | 2 | Post polyp surgery | Had a stent inserted into my nose after sinus surgery. The stent released a steady dosage of nasonex. While I could breathe well after surgery, I've had to go to the ER for a two day headache that was not helped by narcotic painkillers. I've had 4 days so far of fluctuating fevers, I've developed a phlegmy coulgh and laryngitis. I've completely lost my sense of taste and smell. Unfortunately, I can't get the stents out, they should be dissolving in a few more weeks. I am so hoping that my taste and smell come back! | 26 | 18 days 1X day | 11/23/2012 | 2 | Sinus infection | Post nasal drip/painful throat, mouth sores and tenderness, headaches, eye, brow and face pain. Throat and eye dryness, jaw pain. I am also feeling disconnected and unclear. I'm stopping the medication tonight, I can't cope like this. | F | 44 | 6 days 60 | 11/21/2012 | 2 | Allergies | It work well for my allergies BUT I got bronchitis after a cold for years. I could not figure it out until I did some research. I feel like I am developing asthma too. Physicians should warn you of this conditions if they see you getting bronchitis at least 1-2 year when taking Nasonex!! | It is miserable to get bronchitis for 3-4 weeks once or 2x a year! That is 1-2 months of my life wasted!! I am going to look for natural alternatives or acupuncture instead of this nasty steroid! | F | 48 | 6 years 50mcg 1X day | 10/1/2012 | 2 | blocked eustachian tube | heart pap....blurred vision..hard to swallow sometimes...stuffy nose.. | F | 44 | 4 weeks 30mg | 4/28/2012 | 2 | my 5yr old for ear infections const | my 5yr old was given nasonex to try by doc while he was on the waiting list to see a nose,ear and throat doc about his snoring,breathing though mouth constenly,constent ear infections....etc.He has been on it for 5 days now and i hav noticed a dramatic change in this persionality,to the point it was worring me so i just thought i would look it up.He has been crying constently,moody,aggressive,tired......my sister works in a chemist and i just happened to mention my sons behaviour to her and she was the one that mentioned to me it could be the nose spray he was on and advised me to stop use and see my doc on monday.so im not giving it to him today and will see if it makes a difference.JUST A LITTLE BIT SCAREY TO SEE YOUR CHILD SO DIFFERENT AND UPSET. | it doesnt say anything about mood changes in the information leaflet in medication box but honestly if you notice any changes in moods or behaviour i would strongly recommend to stop asap.it can happen,ive just seen it with my own eyes and after reading other comments now do not feel alone. | M | 5 | 0.05 1X day | 4/27/2012 |
