| 2 | Fluid in the ears | Very aggressive and onery! She would not listen to anything I had to say. | Be prepared for your kiddo to change behavior. | F | 2 | 5 days | 5/5/2007 | 2 | sinus irritation, nasal congestion | After reading the side-effects I decided to let my son try this medication for 3 weeks as asked by his Ped. After 1-2 days he was irritable, not-listening, impulsive, and said his stomoach hurts. When he has to pee, the urge becomes immediate. He experienced all these same symptoms about 8 weeks ago, when he used it for 6 days, but I thought it was due to just being a three-year old but we stopped it then because his cold was better. | Thanks to you using this board, I noticed simialar symptoms with his same aged peers. These side effects are not listed on the information from Nasonex. | M | 3 | 2 weeks | 5/2/2007 | 2 | Sinus Membrane Thickening | Extremely dry eyes, dizziness, extreme fatique, nasal congestion, moderate heart palpitations, foggy brain, soar throat. | My doctor recommended this product because I've had previous sinus infections and an X-ray showed thick nasal membranes. After a week of use, I can barely keep by dry eyes open and going up a flight of stairs is difficult. My ashtma is acting up as well which is usually under control. My throat is very irritated, sinus are congested and I sound like I have a cold but I don't. | F | 31 | 7 days | 4/26/2007 | 2 | allergies | Severe bloody nose daily, increased post nasal drip, difficulty sleeping......all after only 3 weeks of treatment. | I had to stop taking nasonex as it was difficult to work, ect. The nurse at my Dr.'s office thought I was using the spray wrong, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't. | F | 33 | 3 weeks | 4/22/2007 | 2 | Nasal Polyps | weight gain, irritability, rage, depression, pain behind left eye, gushing bloody noses. | I'm so upset because all of this is coming together for me after reading this web site. I have had these symptoms but haven't been able to put my finger on the feelings of helplessnes and depression. I thought it was because I mysteriously got fat. I've never had weight problems EVER. | M | 35 | 2 years | 4/12/2007 | 2 | my 4 yr-old- nasal congestion | extreme irritability, short-tempered, hyper, leg pain and earache | My son just turned 4 and was prescribed Nasonex for severe, ongoing nasal congestion. I couldn't figure out why he was being so difficult, especially since we had 4 days of one-on-one time together, which he would normally have been much better behaved for that. He was extremely volatile. It was the most challenging 4 days ever with my son - I was ready to go get a prescription of my own of a different sort to calm my nerves from it. Then it dawned on me that it was the same time he started taking the medicine a week ago that his behavior problems ramped up. None of these things were listed in the pamphlet of possible side effects, yet they seem to be prevalent from users in this posting. Thanks for the feedback everyone! | M | 4 | 7 days | 4/9/2007 | 2 | Drug-free antihistimine | Burning nasal passage sensation, MASSIVE headaches (daily, mid-afternoon), developed cough, swollen / severely inflamed throat (pain when swallowing or coughing). | I suddenly developed allergies this year...great. I've taken everything from Alavert, Sudafed, Claritin, Flonase, Nasacort, and Nasonex. I was so tired of spending money on drugs that had minimal effectiveness with, what seemed to me, maximum adverse side-effects that I decided there HAD to be another way to combat seasonal allergies, effectively. NOTE: since I took myself off of all the allergy medications and nasal sprays (almost 2 weeks ago) and started doing the following, I have had no allergy symptoms, no trouble breathing, sleeping, or smelling. Here's what I do: buy Ginger root, cut off a 1-inch piece, peel and crush (don't puree), place crushed root in tea ball & steep in 8 oz hot water for 10 min's. Drink it. I do this once a day (everyday) after dinner about an hour before bed. I wake up in the morning, drink my coffee, blow my nose and I'm great the rest of the day. Absolutely NO SIDE EFFECTS! It might take a couple of cups / days before you notice a difference, | F | 37 | 1 weeks | 4/5/2007 | 2 | Allergies & severe nasal congestion | Headache, nausea, upset stomach, muscle aches, sleeplessness | I made a visit to the ENT doctor after several plaguing months of sinus congestion and no relief from over-the-counter meds. The doctor decided I must have developed some allergies as I have gotten older. She administered Nasonex in the office and gave me the sample to try. It has only been one day of use and I could not sleep at all last night, I developed a headache, my muscles started aching and I felt like I was going to be physically ill. I thought it was a mild case of the flu. I know it has been only one day but is it coincidence or not? I am very leary now and going to call the ENT doctor back for suggestions. | F | 38 | 1 days | 3/30/2007 | 2 | allergies | bloody muscus, increased nasal drainage, tingling sensation in hands and feet | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 3/29/2007 | 2 | allergies | Heaviness/pressure in chest which made it difficult to breath, especially when exercising, racing heart which didn't start until after having taken it for a couple of weeks | It did seem to clear up nasal stuffiness, but at too big a price...Am relieved to see that others have experienced the same types of side effects while taking this drug. It can make you think something is seriously wrong | F | 45 | 1 months | 3/25/2007 | 2 | Stuffy nose&Ear Pain(allergies) | bad insomnia, anxiety, shaky wierd feeling in muscles (esp when i flex them), loss of taste, very dry nasal passage, nose bleeding, little bit of a soar throat, loss of appetite, high blood pressure and heart feels like its beating a little harder and faster than usual | I took Nasonex for the first time last night. Reluctantly, I couldn't fall asleep so I'm still up from yesterday (its noon now and i used it @ 10pm). I can't figure out if this is better or worse.....but I'm not even tired. My muscles feel wierd, especially when i flex they get a little shakey feeling and kind of achey (it's hard to describe). I also can't taste anything and my nose is really dry (but sinuses are still stuffed up so i have a lot of pressure) and bled earlier and my throat hurtsa little. I dont know how long it's going to last but i want it out of my system... It did clear up my nasal passage, but the experience was awful. IMO - It's effects are not worth the side effects. I've found stuff that works better AND has less/no side effects. NO THANKS! Im definitely going to pass next time. Actually, this bottle's getting trashed............................ | F | 22 | 2 days | 3/5/2007 | 2 | sinusitis | Fatigue,diziness,and a feeling that I was far away, increased pressure in my head and temperature spiking then shivering. | Stopped taking on holiday as it was cold and I thought that wasn't helping but symptoms reappeared as soon as I started it again! I could thus work out what was the cause, this site helped | F | 41 | 14 days | 2/13/2007 | 2 | Sinus pressure, post nasal drip. | Jittery hours after I take it (2 sprays in each nostril). At the begining felt heart thumping hard, anxious, tingling in scalp, feeling on edge, dry eyes, sporadic bloody mucus. Was supposed to take it before bedtime but it made me wide awake with shivers running down my body, cold sweat and feeling of a panic attack comming on. So I take it in the morning to ease the effects. | I don't think it did much. I t sort of eased my post nasal drip, but otherwise than that nothing. I read the official side effects for it and they don't list half the stuff that happens with this med. This is the only med that I am taking at the moment. | M | 26 | 3 weeks | 2/8/2007 | 2 | allergies | My 5 year old son took it for allergies -which it helped, but each time he's used it he has had the worst ear infections. I just stopped using after his lat | M | 5 | 6 months | 1/23/2007 | 2 | post-nasal drip/allerg.rhinitis | terrible insomnia, nose bleeds, hot flashes----all stopped when discontinued Nasonex | The insomnia started off slowly and I didn't attribute it to the Nasonex at first, then it became completely clear what was causing it. | F | 51 | 8 days | 1/11/2007 | 2 | allergies | Loss of sense of taste and smell | After approximately 2 weeks on Nasonex,(2 sprays in each nostril, twice a day) my nasal breathing became clearer, but I noticed I could not taste or smell. I had also been on an Advair inhaler which I have used previously with no problem. I mentioned this to the Doctor, he said keep taking the Nasonex as it would help this. I thought not, so tossed it in the garbage. That was 3 weeks ago, and still no taste or smell. | F | 47 | 3 weeks | 1/4/2007 | 2 | rhinitis | After taking Nasonex for three weeks, I came down with shingles on my face. Unfortunately, the shingles were misdiagnosed as poison ivy, so I was given steroids, which just made the condition worse. Didn't get the antiviral meds for a week. | F | 49 | 21 days | 12/30/2006 | 2 | Constant congestion | Decreased sex drive. Tired feeling. | I used to take Flonase, but noticed that after taking it, my sex drive had decreased, and I had a very tired feeling, so I switched to Nasonex. Same results, just not as bad. Nasonex never cured my congestion, it only gave me more problems. | M | 38 | 1 years | 11/12/2006 | 2 | Allergies | I've only been taking this drug for a little over a month and I had no side effects until this morning when I woke up with very bloody mucus and blood in the nose. | Most nasal sprays that I have tried have not done anything much to improve my allergies and this one hasn't done a great deal either. I still breath through my mouth at night and until taking this drug, I have never had a major nose bleed. I am going to discontinue using it! | F | 22 | 1 months | 10/4/2006 | 2 | Allergic Rhinisitus (spelling?) | Worked well in terms of opening my sinuses but have definitely experienced increased irritability/stress and quite significant muscle and joint pain. Will stop taking Nasonex as of today and report any further side effects experienced form "withdrawal" | M | 27 | 1 months | 7/4/2006 |
