| 2 | Allergies | Mood swings, heart palpitation, cold sweat, anxiety (always worried of something), and lethargy | I had taken Nasonex in late 90s and restatred recengly again. After using it for a week I went to the doctor for high pulse rate, heart palpication etc. Doctor sent me to Cardiologist. Cardiologist assured me that my heart is fine though it is pounding fast. He also told me that all allgery medicines increase heart rate. I need to find suitable drug. I am off the drug today and I am fine. No speeding of heart, able to focus better. I will have to suffer for few months but I will be off the drug | M | 48 | 5 weeks | 10/8/2008 | 2 | allergies-sinus pressure | sleeplessness, anxiety, tightness in chest, chest pains, heart palpitations, extreme dizziness, tension headaches, inability to think clearly and to focus, stiffness and weakness in arms and legs, loss of appetite. | I think that this may have worked for me because it took care of my sinus pressure after taking it 2x a day for a week, I went back to my allergist and mentioned my anxiety symptoms, on which she did not comment, and then she said to take it once a day. The pressure started creeping back after about 3 days. Stopped taking it today. | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 9/7/2008 | 2 | chronic congestion, runny nose | nose bleeds | F | 5 | 6 months | 9/7/2008 | 2 | sinus infection | sleeplessness, palpitations, anxiety, chest pains, hard to get back to sleep, poor sleep episodes (no longer then an hour and a half in length), headaches, racing heart beat | I was prescribed this after having the some problems with Flonase. I cut my dosage in half (was supposed to be 2 sprays each nostril twice daily) the last day I took it (1 spray each nostril only once that day). Luckily I was also prescribed an anti-biotic that will take care of the infection regardless of use of a nasal spray or not. | M | 22 | 4 days | 8/23/2008 | 2 | sinus headaches/allergies | The drug worked well but I'm writing to inform others that using a nasal steroid can cause early cataracts. I'm only 41 and my doctor noticed my eyes looked like they were in the beginning stages of cataract formation. I've never heard this before...I was horrified! Nasonex worked very well for my sinus headaches, but I don't want to risk my eye sight as a result. | Possible cause of beginnings of cataracts! | F | 41 | 8 months | 8/2/2008 | 2 | fluid in ear | The first few days my ear was better, but slowly I began having back pain which became severe chest pain over time. Painful to breathe deeply. Was on my way to urgent care when I read this website. Now, I'll quit using it and see if that takes care of the pain. | F | 48 | 18 days | 7/22/2008 | 2 | bad tast in mouth, nausea, and acid reflux....stopped taking it for four days and nausea continues...anyone else had this problem with nausea and lasting after you stop for days. | F | 22 days | 7/12/2008 | 2 | allergies/congestion | Sore throat, shortness of breath,tired/sleepy often, cold/flu symtoms, neck, arm , shoulder aches and pains. I would not recommend this drug to anyone w/o careful analysis of pros and cons.The pharmycist didn't know anything about the counterindication when I contacted him.They just sell the stuff . | This is a steroid not a NSAID | M | 30 days | 7/9/2008 | 2 | allergies; congestion due to | After only 3 days, I have completely lost my sense of smell. Haven't noticed too much taste alterations, but my diet coke isn't as appealing as usual. Sore throat, headache, neck ache. Nothing else. It dries out my nose, which is good but I like to smell things! | Has anyone regained their sense of smell? After a day of not smelling anything, I miss it! | F | 20 | 3 days | 6/11/2008 | 2 | Nasal sores | A deep lower chest pain. Like a feeling of asthma or indigestion or heart burn in my chest when just sitting still. Like some ones sat on my chest even though sitting or standing with no activity. | Healthy runner, training for a marathon and this started within a day of using Nasonex. Deduced after 3 days what I was doing different was taking nasonex... No longer taking it but symptoms persist. 24 hrs on.. Hope it subsides. | M | 32 | 3 days | 6/1/2008 | 2 | allergies | dry nose, nightmares? | Began with dry nose about 4 weeks into drug. Six weeks into drug began having nightmares. Not too sure if nightmares caused by drug. We immediately stopped medication, now I'm dealing with stopping constant nightmares. Now developed anxiety at bedtime resulting in nightly nightmares! | M | 11 | 42 days | 5/28/2008 | 2 | CHRONIC SINUSITIS POLYP CONTROL | Mild Headache, Dry Feeling In Sinuses, Increased Wheezing, Occasional "Flutter-Like" Heartbeat. | This medication did a fantastic job of treating nasal/sinus symptoms. However, I discontinued about a month ago due to side effects. I've previously used nasal steroids for several years without any side effects whatsoever. I'm wondering if, after reading some of other comments posted, if either the new generation steroids or their delivery mechanism are causing issues. | M | 45 | 3 years | 5/27/2008 | 2 | allergies, runny nose | My son was put on Nasonex after trying Claritin for children which had terrible side-effects on his behavior. My son seemed to always have a stuffy, runny, nose - breathing through his mouth - the eternal cold. Like other parents who have commented, my son has not been himself for the past week. He has no appetite, his nose seems worse than ever, and he drools terribly - I go through two shirts a day, even though he has all his teeth (he is no longer teething). My son has also started becoming scared, jittery, and anxious about many things -- I realize he just turned 2, but this change was just too abrupt to be his "age" as many people tell me. I'm taking him off of Nasonex to be safe, especially after reading the other posts. | M | 2 | 10 days | 5/27/2008 | 2 | Sinus Congestion | My 4 year old daughter experienced extreme mood changes. She was unable to go to sleep at night and would state that she wanted to hurt herself as well as other bizarre comments. During uncontrollable bouts of crying, she would say she hated herself because she could not stop. I cannot recall a time where I could refer to my child as sad, angry or violent…until she was prescribed this drug. | This drug may be very helpful for adults. However, I do not believe it is for children. | F | 4 | 2 weeks | 5/22/2008 | 2 | sinusitis | severe headache and muscle tension as a result. Dry sinuses that are irritating, restless sleep, everyday stresses seem enhanced. headache encompassing all sinus points is the worse - will cease immediately and begin hopefully to be able to use the neti-pot | F | 52 | 14 days | 4/20/2008 | 2 | nasal polyps | I've been effected with bad headaches, chest congestion and cough. Not sleeping for more than 2 hours, so very tired. Also I get dizzy with a feeling that my body is moving slower than my mind. | I've used my last spray today!!! | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 2 | I was having cough attacks and due to my sinus I was prescribed Nasonex, and it didn’t go well for me. I’m generally a pretty healthy person, and since taking it I have felt extremely tired, some anxiety, heart palpitations and headaches. I rather take my chances with the cough and sinus, after reading all these reviews plus my own experience, I’m stopping right now. | F | 45 | 5 days | 4/11/2008 | 2 | sinus problems | This is my second try on Nasonex and my last. Both times I find my self becoming progressively more irritable and depressed after about a week on this med. First try I thought I was just more angry than usual ( I am normally pretty even tempered). you can bet this is my last spray! | F | 61 | 6 days | 4/8/2008 | 2 | Allergies + ongoing cold | Extremely dizzy, lightheaded, dried tear ducts causing bloodshot and uncomfortably dry eyes | I could not drive I was so dizzy and had to miss work. This was not listed under any official side effects! I won't be using this 'scrip any more. | F | 35 | 2 days | 3/21/2008 | 2 | Sinus Congestion | Moodiness, depression, anger, anxiety, strange dreams, headache, speediness. | Not worth the side effects. Getting off this stuff. | M | 44 | 7 days | 3/10/2008 |
