 2  allergies, sinus congestion Metallic taste in my mouth, headaches, anxiety, moodines, insomnia. This medication worked for the first few days, with a metallic taste in my mouth being the only side effect. In the next few weeks I had recurring headaches, anxiety/mood swings, and insomnia. I have stopped taking Nasonex and will wait to see if the side effects subside. F 30 4 weeks

 2  nasal allergies Palpitations, irregular heart rhythm, chest pain Good for nasal allergies, could finally smell again. BUT, the irregular heart rhythm is scary and shouldn't happen with allergy medication. M 33 2 months

 2  allergies although her nose cleared up beautifully, my three year old has been irrational and aggressive since beginning the medication...defiant to a ridiculous degree, tantrums, screaming...and then for no apparent reason, she is fine the doctor did not tell us that the product is a steroid. the pharmacist did when i filled the prescription, but we had used the sample for two weeks before that...i did not see the correlation at first. no mood related side-effects are listed as the contraindicators ...perhaps an oversight? F 32 4 weeks

 2  sinusitus lots of ectopic{extra} heart beats-higher blood pressure have stopped taking due to side effects/it did clear up my sinuses but side effects to bothersome M 65 2 months

 2  allergies dizziness, light headed when standing prescribed to myself first for allergies and took for a few days. Seems to work but quit taking after the dizziness spells. Also our pediatricia (not ENT) prescribed to 6 year old son, but read packaging notes and noticed it said could cause growth problems in children. Why a Dr. would prescribe this to a young child is beyond me. I don't think the Drs. are doing their due dilligence to read and learn about the affects of these medicines as many are beholden to the drug companies. Throwing the nasonex out today. Also, the ENT I see who is respected did prescribe Veramyst for my son and he has had relief with no symptoms. Another medical site said it was tolerated well in children. M 42 10 days

 2  enlarged adenoids, runny nose My son began stuttering about 10 days after he started taking this med. Has anyone else experienced this? M 5 14 days

 2  allergies all year round Severe heart palpitation (had to go through heart test but they did'nt find anything), chest pain = feel like someone is sitting on my chest, short of breath. Cleared the nose though. Did'nt realise all my symptom came from this medicine before I found this website. Thought I had heart problems. Really scary! F 26 1 years

 2  Sinusitis Insomnia, tightness in chest, stomach ache First time on it and last. I am wired at 3:30 in the morning. I've got a 5 month old and 2 and a half year old, so that doesn't happen. Decided to check out side effects thinking this may be the problem. I'd say so. F 37 1 times

 2  Sinus Infection Horriable sneezing (like 100 times a day, I'm not kidding), and dry itchy eyes This product was horriable and I have never sneezed more. It would start about 30 minutes after I sprayed it and it didn't stop until about 24 hours after. F 28 6 days

 2  Allergies & Mild Sinus Infection Light-headedness and some trouble sleeping Have never experienced this slightly dizzy feeling before beginning Nasonex. And, have not been sleeping soundly since starting this drug. Of course I can't be sure Nasonex is the cause of the problems but shortly after "spraying" this morning that lousy, light-headed feeling returned - and it hadn't been with me all morning. I will discontinue use. M 57 10 days

 2  chronic rhinitis Side effects: very serious heart palpitations, chest tightness (went away after a couple days) HUGE increase in hunger (hungry all the time), weight gain, chest pain, panic attack. This may work for some people but if you are sensitive to steroids then don't bother taking it. M 28 2 weeks

 2  environmental allergies uncontrolable heart palputations. chest pain, and a level of panic associated with the symptoms. had no further allergy symptons M 31 10 days

 2  Nasal Congestion Weight gain, bloating, water retention, tender/sore breasts, irritability, and aggression. I'm a stomach sleeper, after using Nasonex for 4 days I could not sleep on my stomach due to breast soreness/sensitivity. Cleared only one nasal passage (left), the right remains conjested after 7 days. The side effects were not worth continuing the medication. F 45 7 days

 2  Perennial Allergic Rhinitis Increased rhinitis, mild sore throat, sneezing Expensive way to find out that it made my symptoms worse rather than better. I am throwing out the rest! F 35 5 days

 2  Seasonal allergies Bloating and weight gain, very sore throat, blurry vision, fatigue and tiredness, sore fluid-filled ears. Had no idea about the side affects and am getting very frustrated. Decided to Google Nasonex and see if it had any side affects that aren't listed in its brochure. I'm disappointed that a company can get by without listing what seems to be common problems. Will stop taking immediately. F 46 14 days
