| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | allergies | I experienced terrible pressure in my head and ears, and was not noticing improvement of symptoms. | F | 47 | 8 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 2 | sinus inflamation | This worked great for my sinus issues, unfortunatly after about a month I began developing side effects, that I just now realize after reading the posts here, is caused by Nasonex. I have feelings of anger (I'm a laid back guy), have numbness in my left thumb, extreme gas and diarrhea, wild dreams. I will no longer take this medication. | M | 47 | 6 weeks 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 2 | acute sinus problems | All of them | I posted back on the 14th and I went cold Turkey with this medication. Took 5 days of hell to get over all the effects. However my sinus problems became more acute and I tried several over the counter remedies. None were successful. I gave in and started back on the spray. What a stupid fool I was. Now feeling like hell again and having to return home to UK after only a week of a two month trip. I am at a loss and manic at present but will be in the Drīs on Thursday all being well. Three day drive from here home. Please dont use it but I just do not know what to do with myself, My poor wife is very supportive but I am in hell at present. I have been on this for approx 7 years. | M | 64 | | 1/31/2010 | 2 | Hay Fever / Congested Ears | I successfully used Nasonex seasonally for 5 years. It was wonderful for hay fever. 2 weeks ago I had a head cold. After the cold symptoms went away, my left ear was congested. My doctor recommended using Nasonex and Clariton simultaneously. I did that for 4 days. On day 5, my ear was better but the vision in my right eye became very distorted - to the point of not being able to work on my computer. I went to an optometrist and my primary physician. Both ruled out Nasonex and Clariton and started guessing more serious conditions. Well, after searching the net (this site in particular) I found many people with the same reaction. My distortions are less and less each day - almost back to normal after one week. | M | 45 | 4 days | 1/23/2010 | 2 | sinus infection | Serious virus infecion of the mouth. Swollen gums, sore teeth. | Can't definitely blame Nasonex, but I did hear on one of their TV commercials that a possible side effect was viral infections. Since I have a serious one in my mouth--but am on all sorts of other medications as well, including Levaquin antibiotic--I can't point to Nasonex without question. I've discontinued use to see if my mouth improves. | F | 65 | 9 days | 1/23/2010 | 2 | Allergies | I already have some problems being around certain people, but under this medication those feeling were aggravated. At one point I had violent thoughts go through my head and I never experience this. I also became depressed while on the medication. I didn't experience much improvement with allergies either. I'm off this one and taking natural remedies for my allergies. After Singulair and now this I don't have too much faith in the health system. Its because they fail to acknowledge the benefits of good nutrition. | M | 25 | 11 days | 1/21/2010 | 2 | post-nasal drip | Headaches since day 1 of use. | My doctor told me this medicine is slow acting, and indeed can see a bit of improvement. However it simply isn't a worthy tradeoff for the migranes which have been getting worse - so I will discotinue use. | M | 26 | 4 days | 1/18/2010 | 2 | vertigo symptoms/allergies | I think I'm just allergic to steroids in general. Took an oral steroid a month ago (with antibiotics to try and treat my vertigo...didn't work), and had strange head sensations/pain all over. I've been on Nasonex for a week, and yes, I am breathing much better, but those darn sensations are back - and stronger than ever. I also feel "timid" and anxious. I'm also losing sensation in my left hand...but that could just be carpal tunnel. I didn't think turning 40 would suck so much. | I'm stopping this, especially reading about all the side effects on here. I would highly recommend a Neti pot for saline sinus irrigation instead of medical treatments for allergies. I've been leaning towards organic-based healing options since I am discovering that doctors are "trigger-happy" in prescribing drugs before really learning about you. Educate yourself, and visit healing/wellness based sites like mercola.com and others. Prevention IS the best medicine :) | M | 41 | 7 days | 1/13/2010 | 2 | rhinitis | I DON'T NEED TO DESCRIBE THE SIDE EFFECTS.5 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE SO! | Call it my cynical English mind,but you visit your doctor for a really annoying,but relatively minor nasal condition,he prescribes for you,and the result is palpitations,paranoia,bleeding nose,depression,insomnia,numbness etc,and for Americans presumably,a nice fat bill.You couldn't make it up,could you? | M | 60 | | 1/11/2010 | 2 | sinusitis | Extreme icheness in my nose after inhaling it. A panic attack that was so severe that I almost called 911. Emotional, angry, crying, extreme fatigue. | I am willing to try anything once yet this medication sent me to the internet to look up side efects and this is what I found. I am gong to stop taking it as of now and see how I feel in a few days. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 2 | Hay Fever | Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason. | I have now been off Nasonex since I originally posted the side effects listed here in July and can safely say all but one of these symptoms have gone and did so within a few days of stopping Nasonex, my memory unfortunately has not recovered as of yet, I am however left with panic attacks from the episodes of shortness of breath and feeling as if I was going to faint, these now occur in any stressful situation. I would not recommend this drug to anyone and am now undergoing cognitive therapy to reverse the damage caused, give me hayfever any day. | F | 38 | 2 months | 10/12/2009 | 2 | Allergies and Sinus | Tightness in chest, difficulty swallowing, anxiety | I didn't have a clue why I started having all of these symptoms until I looked up the side effects. Thanks for this site also!! | F | 30 | 6 days | 10/2/2009 | 2 | alergies | I began taking Nasonex and within a month I stared experiencing heart palpitations - up to 10 occurrences in one day. I also had a lot of anxiety at night and subsequently, trouble sleeping (I normally sleep very well). I went off the drug to see if that was what was causing the palpitations and sure enough, they went away. Then, to rule out any coincidences, I started using Nasonex again. The palpitations came back immediately. I went off it and will never use it again. I have not had another palpitation since. | It worked excellent in clearing up my alergies but certainly some of us have side effects which are not listed on the drug itself. Nasonex is not for me as the palpitations were really scary. | F | 35 | 3 months | 9/21/2009 | 2 | Sinus Allergy | As others have described I noticed the Hang Over effect. Also extreme dryness. I have tried this product 5 times and each time couldnt get past a week on it. It also cause the frequency of sinus infections to go up...(read the label) | Did sure anything but make me feel like ive been partying last night | M | 36 | 4 days | 9/20/2009 | 2 | Nasal polyps related snoring | Total and permanent loss of smell | I was prescribed this drug to treat my snoring problem by an ENT specialist to help shrink the nasal polyps which she believed might cure the snoring. After applying about 3 cannisters of it, my snoring was cured. However, I started to lose my sense of smell gradually without even realizing it myself until my daughter asked me if I could smell something really fowl in the house then. 5 years have gone past since then and I still can't smell anything at all. I told my ENT specialist when I visited her later over the loss of smell and told her of my suspicion of this dangerous side effect but she somehow did not agree with me. For your own benefit, don't use this drug especially over prolonged period as you never know if you are going to end up like me. | M | 58 | 2 months | 9/2/2009 | 2 | eustachian tube dysfunction | headaches, ear pain, feeling of pressure in ears, jaw pain, neck tightness/stiffness. i thought i was still sick for the last two weeks of taking this because the side effects can easily be misinterpreted as symptoms of ETD. finally an ENT suggested i stop taking it and some side effects cleared up right away. | it's been almost two weeks since my last spray of nasonex, and i'm still dealing with the jaw/ear discomfort. has anyone else experienced this that can tell me how long it took for this to subside? it's almost as if the muscles around my jaw area have just forgotten how to relax, making them sore. i tend to doubt nasonex gave me TMJ or something. only reason i give it a 2 is because it cleared up my ETD. | M | 29 | 5 weeks | 8/26/2009 | 2 | Hay Fever | Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason. | Unfortunately Nasonex has cured most of my allergy symptoms which is a dilemma, the alleged side effects are mostly in line with others apart from the swolen ankles and the constipation. I have been taking this for two months now and all the side effects have built up over this time, before hand I was healthy but with Hayfever! I will discontinue use of Nasonex as from today and see if the problems persist or desist and post again in say 4 weeks time. | F | 2 months | 7/22/2009 | 2 | allergies. could not breathe well at night. | Loss of smell, haven't been able to sleep more than 4 ro 5 hours per night, blood pressure has risen | F | 62 | 30 days | 7/22/2009 | 2 | congestion, allergies | waking at night, coughing, still some congestion | Our allergist perscribed Nasonex for our 2 yr old son. We are almost to two weeks on it. His mood has been much improved with the alleviation of some of his allergic symptoms (poor guy), but he has slept horribly, waking 2-4 times/night crying, sometimes wet from sweat (the room is kept quite cool, so I am assuming this is from anxiety/dreams- unusual for him). The insert doesn't say anything about insomina, so I was reassured to read that so many others report the same. | F | 39 | 13 days | 7/19/2009 | 2 | chronic rhino-sinusitis | I'm getting really bad oral thrush. | I just find that I'm paying money for a product which does absolutely nothing. | F | 36 | 4 weeks | 7/17/2009 |
