| 2 | congested nose | Spots/acne, tickly cough and dry throat | Was taking Loratadine 10mg along with nasonex to help my hayfever and keep my nose clear, but my throat was really dry while taking the nasonex and my spots on my face got worse. I have stopped the nasonex 3 days ago after 2 weeks use, my spots insteantly began clearing up and I have stopped coughing so much. I am still taking the loratadine atm, and my nose hasnt been congested yet. I am sure the nasonex was causing these problems. | M | 23 | 2 weeks | 7/6/2009 | 2 | mal de debarquement & sinus trouble | OMG i feel so much better reading this website - i thought i was going nuts - i have anxiety, palpitations, chest 'heaviness' feeling like my heart is too large, feeling like i cant get breath, bloating and sore tummy (but i do have IBS anyway!), heaviness and tingling in my arms, feeling like im vibrating, feeling of bubling under my skin, nausea, feeling 'hungover', ear pain, headache. i have been convinced that i am REALLY ill, to the point that i have bought a blood sugar monitor and have been monitoring my blood sugar - i am also taking propanalol to manage my anxiety - i am so printing out this site and telling my doctor | F | 34 | 4 months | 6/24/2009 | 2 | Allergy relief | I have been on Nasonex for quite awhile and the biggest side affect that I had was the loss of smell. I haven't been able to smell for five months. When I stopped using Nasonex and whiched to a different nose spray my since of smell is slowing coming back. | I would not recommend using this for a very long time. | F | 33 | 5 years | 6/16/2009 | 2 | Allergy | Anxiety, heart pulpitation, chest tightness | I'm off Nasonex for 4 weeks but still have chest tightness. I wonder how long does it take to get rid of the simptoms? | M | 49 | 60 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | migraine prevention/rhinitis | Sore throat, headache, tiredness, general ick feeling | I'm sure this works great for allergies, but it didn't help my condition. It did break up my stuffy nose, but at the cost of feeling like I threw up pool water out of my nose even 20 hours later. It also caused a severe headache. I think I'd take this only if I had a severely clogged nose. It is worth a try, though, especially if you have nasal issues. | F | 20 | 3 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | Pre-Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment | My son was recommended to take Nasonex for a week prior to him receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. I gave it to him for 5 days and it completely changed his personality. He was irritable, angry, exhausted, CONSTIPATED!, cried for no apparent reason, and had nightmares that distressed him so much that he didn't want to go to sleep at night. | We stopped the Nasonex this morning. We will just hope that he does not have ear problems during the HBOT. I never imagined that Nasonex would cause those kind of issues for him because I didn't see any warnings about this kind of reaction in the package insert! | M | 9 | 5 days | 6/11/2009 | 2 | Sinus congestion | No significant side effects, except maybe a slightly dry throat. | I didn't experience any significant difference in my congestion while taking Nasonex. Note: I was taking Nasonex when I tried an Allegra-D 12-hour pill which spiked my blood pressure, caused high anxiety, and sleeplessness for 30 hours plus. Taking Nasoenx by itself, didn't seem to bother me. I don't know if Nasonex increased my bad reaction to the Allegra-D or not. | M | 63 | 14 days | 6/1/2009 | 2 | Sinusitis, recurring URTIs | Depression, irritability, anger, mood swings. | Nasonex is a love hate relationship. I have been on it before each time for a couple of months. When I am on it I no longer get chest infections or sinus problems and my allergic rhinitis goes away. However, the other side of the coin is that I get moody, irritable, depressed and angry on and off. Withdrawal is especially bad. When I come off Nasonex I get really angry and moody. What does one do???? | M | 40 | 2 months | 5/19/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Aggressive and violent behavior, not listening, anxious, not sleeping well. | My son started Nasonex for seasonal allergies and the medicine did relieve these symptoms. Unfortunately, his overall mood has changed dramatically since starting this medicine. Thanks to this posting, I am going to stop giving it to him to see if things go back to normal for him. | M | 4 | 35 days | 5/12/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Dry cough, trouble swallowing, headache, terrible taste in mouth, light headed | I was prescribed Nasonex about a week ago and took my last dose this morning. The relief of stuffiness in my nose is not worth these side effects. I have had a headache for the past three days, my chest feels heavy, I have a dry cought and the worst side effect is this terrible taste in my mouth all the time. | M | 49 | 7 days | 5/7/2009 | 2 | nasal congestion, common cold stuff | loss of sleep, headaches, sore throat | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 4/10/2009 | 2 | Allergies; excess phlegm and mucus | Some heart palpitations and tightened chest on the left side. Also, a slight "supraclavical 'fat pad': collections of fat at the base of the neck, just above the collarbones, and common in patients on steroids. They sometimes cause concern among patients if mistaken for lymph nodes or other causes for worry, but will gradually subside as the prednisone dose is tapered to below 10 milligrams/day." | I'm on Azmacort, Nasonex, and Prednisone for four days now. Been on the former two for a little while back in April '08 for the same reasons (allergies and excessive mucus in rxn to dust, roaches, and my dog), and had the same side effects I'm having now. The addition of Prednisone (20mg/once a day) may be making the side f/x more severe (I AM NOT SURE on this, I haven't consulted my allergist yet). The steroids do help my breathing and lessen wheezing - but for me - the side effects are too uncomfortable and alarming to continue. | M | 27 | 4 days | 4/6/2009 | 2 | Post op Sinusitis / Allergies | Was advised by doctor to take Nasonex 2 x morning and night to assist in potential rebound effect from decongestant and by specialist to take it every night to avoid allergic reactions. It was effective in easing the symptoms however the side effects included serious left shoulder and chest aches, broken sleep and as a result anxiety. Had used it several times for less than a week with symptoms building up but five days ago after ten days use was the end of it for me. Stopped using it and as previously occurred aches are slowly decreasing but not yet completely gone. Reported to both doctor and specialist and was told there are no side effects from Nasonex. | M | 46 | 10 days | 3/12/2009 | 2 | Dull hearing, tinnitus, sinus prob | Dreadful nightmares | Don't know if I can continue trying drug as nightmares really bad. My symptoms are bad too so a bit of a catch 22! | F | 53 | 3 days | 3/12/2009 | 2 | Nasal Polyps | I've been taking Nasonex now for 5 years and generally don't have side effects like noosebleeds etc. I take it because I lose my sense of taste and smell when I'm off it. It helps, I guess, because I've tried to live without it for a couple of months and couldn't smell or taste. When I went back on it I got my sense of smell and taste back within a couple of days. However, I experience a hangover-like condition every once in a while in the mornings (I take it before bedtime). I have a headache in form of a constant pressure behind my left eye, nausea, fatigue. It really feels like a hangover without having any alcohol the night before. Haven't experienced heart palpitations etc. but some difficulty falling asleep. Price is outrageous. I wish I could live without it. | M | 45 | 5 years | 2/6/2009 | 2 | Nasal Congestion | Severe insomnia and a noticeably lighter wallet. | Moderately effective but unnecessarily overpriced. | M | 30 | 3 days | 2/5/2009 | 2 | Sinus infection, headaches | Our son had been complaining about mild headaches frequently for the past several months. Our pediatrician felt that he had a sinus infection. Our son took nasonex, one squirt to each nostril every night before bed for 2 weeks, along with an antibiotic.I didn't notice anything really all that different at home, but his preschool teachers actually called us at home after 2 weeks of the Nasonex and said how concerned they were about his behavior at school. He was restless, wouldn't pay attention or do what he was told, he was aggressive, and just not himself. We told them that he had been on this steroid and hoped that was the problem. He stopped taking it after 2 weeks (3 days ago) and still is causing concerns for the teachers. We shall see what happens. | Didn't seem to change anything with the headaches, continues to have them. Unsure if he ever had a sinus infection in the first place. We saw no benefit from taking this medication, possibly a negative side effect | M | 4 | 2 weeks | 1/27/2009 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis | Painful eyes--as though they were being squished and sqeezed. Also had muscle aches, and difficulty falling and staying asleep. | It worked well, but I just could not tolerate the side effects. | M | 27 | 3 days | 1/24/2009 | 2 | congestion of the sinus | anxiety, hunger, fast heart beat, sleepiness, insomnia, shaky, itchy, nervousness, restlessness | Used Nasonex on and off for years and was not aware that it could be the cause of fast heart rate, shaky/nervosness until I did the reserch to see why I had these symptoms. Was doing fine and used it in the afternon then while sleeping woke up with fast heart beat & anxiety and restlessness. Will go off and see if the side effects go away. Use Nasonex so rarley and to have the above symptoms the same day caused my suspicion. However it does work, but not worth the health risks. | M | 66 | | 11/23/2008 | 2 | Severe Nasal Congestion sinus infections and post nasal drip | I have noticed that I am having difficutly swallowing and it seems to hurt at the bottom of my esaphagaus...extreme anxiety however I do suffer from panic disorder, I am just wondering if anyone else has had the difficulty swallowing while on this medication??? It has really helped my symptoms but I hate the side effects that I have developed. thanks. | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 10/21/2008 |
