| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | Post nasal drip, stuffy nose | HORRIBLE sore throat when I would wake up early in the morning. It would go away after maybe an hour, but then come back the next morning. | I will stop using this product today. Was not sure if I had a cold that was causing the sore throat, or if it was for sure the Nasonex. I have no other symptoms, so it must be the Nasonex. | M | 32 | 5 days | 6/28/2006 | 2 | allergies&sinus infection | heart palpatations, nervousness, moody, anxious, jittery | I was only on it for two days, The first day I thought my reactions were something else, on the second day they happened again and very quickly after I took it. I looked online for side effects but didn't find any I was experincing, Then I found this site and saw so many with my symptoms I know It's the nasonex. I have also been on flovent for years, which is also an inhaled steriod and have never had any problem with it. The reaction I had almost felt like I had to much albuterol or provental. | F | 32 | 2 days | 6/15/2006 | 2 | postnasal drip/sinusitus | After daily nasonex use for 3 months, I developed a herpes-like infection next to my mouth. Every time I thought it was going to clear up, a new lesion would pop up. I quit taking Nasonex and now, after about a month, the lesions seem to finally be clearing. I'm seeing a dermatologist next week and will see what he says. I am 57 years old and have never had such a skin infection on my face until I took nasonex. | F | 57 | 4 months | 5/11/2006 | 2 | Acid Reflux | unpleasant taste- total loss of sense of smell | After using for two months, I told my doctor that I thought I had lost my sense of smell, and he suggested going off Nasonex (10/31/05). Now I have regained maybe 10% of my sense of smell, but I am basically experiencing phantom smells. Everything that I know has a smell, smells the same- like a sweet mustard. This considition started a few weeks ago, and it may be part of my journey back to having a sense of smell. NASONEX never more. | M | 54 | 60 days | 4/30/2006 | 2 | post nasal drip, throat congestion | This is the second time in a few months that I've tried Nasonex. The first time I started having tightness in my chest when taking deep breaths and frequent heart palpitations - which I had not experienced before. Unsure of the cause I stopped using Nasonex and the symptoms stopped. Recently I started using Nasonex again and the chest tightness has returned after three days. I've been a bit achy as well. I'm still waiting to see if the heart palpitations resume. | Modest success at clearing my throat. | M | 56 | 3 days | 4/27/2006 | 2 | Allergies, sinus congestion | After about one month of use (prescribed after allergy induced sinitus and ear infection) I noticed a definite increase in post nasal drip. This eventually (I think) resulted in a *severe* cough, shortness of breath, worse asthma, and blood in my nasal secreatons. | Im not positive the "side effects" are absolutly from the nasonex, but I dont see what else could have caused it. During the month I took it, I noticed slight to no improvement with nasal allergy symptoms. | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 4/19/2006 | 2 | Allergy | I can't believe my doctor and the Allergy specialist constant denial that Nasonex don’t have side effects. I have asthma or shortness of breath, postnasal drip, and light headache, irritability, at the initial stage I had muscle, joints pains. | I think it does more harm than good, I will stop taking it. | M | 39 | 1 months | 4/5/2006 | 2 | Allergies | After taking Nasonex for almost 2 weeks, I came down with a case of shingles! I do have a low white blood cell count (Dr can't say why) and maybe the Nasonex just tipped my already compromised immune system into a shingles outbreak. | I would like to know if anyone else has gotten shingles after taking this steroid. | F | 59 | 12 days | 3/20/2006 | 2 | eustacian tube fluid | light-headedness, some restriction of breathing which may be an increase of mild asthma, stiff neck, some jitteriness | I am so glad to read these comments. Side-effects shared here resemble the ones I'm having. These are not described in the regular sources about Nasonex. One doctor suggested I use a "Neti Pot" which is an old and natural method of cleaning sinuses, etc. Can be gotten at health food stores. I am going to try this again with regularity (rather than the "lazy" way I started using it). | F | 63 | 3 days | 12/4/2005 | 2 | allergies, congestion, sinus infect | For the first six months, this was a miracle drug for me. Now, after a year, I am having sinus pain and pressure, post-nasal drip, daily headaches, rise in blood pressure, plus an odd prickling of the scalp. I have tapered off to total non-use, but the symptoms have not gone away. | My doc said that it was okay to take this year around, but perhaps I should have been warned to watch for side effects if using long-term. | F | 71 | 14 months | 8/29/2005 | 3 | Anxiety, increased height rate, headaches | Very effective for nasal issues and helped with problems with the eustachian tube. However, the side effects are very aggravating and can last quite a while. I experienced more positives than negatives, but I would honestly not recommend it if you only have minor allergy issues or something like that. | M | 20 | 14 days 50mg 1X day | 8/24/2023 | 3 | Blocked sinuses | Sore inside nose sore throat anxiety attacks irritability | F | 56 | 6 days 30mg 2X day | 8/21/2021 | 3 | Sinus inflammation | I've been randomly experiencing heart palpitations, extreme dizziness, light headed, panic attack like symptoms. I do suffer from anxiety but NOT to this level. I've only been taking it for a few weeks and tonight it dawned on me. This nasal spray is the only thing I've changed. However, all of those side effects ARENT listed. Until I found this forum, I feel relieved to have figured out what's been causing me to feel so terribly! However the nasal spray did work great, but not at the expense of feeling this way! | F | 25 | 3 weeks 2X day | 6/16/2021 | 3 | Sinuses | Head ache bit ear pain dry nose feel awful been taking it 15 year now I'm getting all these side effects | Told doctor about side effect don't think he believes it is the spray | F | 42 | 15 years 1X day | 2/2/2021 | 3 | Ent | Get dry blood in nose feeling stuffy and now I'm getting panic attacks. | Been on this 16 years from ENT at hospital sure I'm getting side effects which is stated above need help advice from anyone xx | F | 42 | 16 years 2X day | 10/16/2020 | 3 | Sinus congestion exacerbated tinni | Indigestion and very tight chest similar symptoms when on steroid injections a few years back | F | 63 | 4 days 50mcg | 7/1/2020 | 3 | Swollen turbinates | Been on this for about a month and nasonex gives a dry nose especially when im on a cold place, calms my turbinates but i think too many side effects, may potassium became low, having joint paints upon waking up, having congestion when it dries, somebody help me should i switch to plain nasal saline? Please email me specially who also have an swollen turbinates badly need help | F | 26 | 35 days 50mcg/day | 5/11/2019 | 3 | Blocked nose leading to dry mouth | Bad taste in mouth and on lips all day every day | This product worked well, it got rid of all my symptoms but exchanged them for other symptoms which I considered worse. | M | 53 | 4 weeks 200 MG 1X day | 8/14/2017 | 3 | chronic nasal congestion | I've been taking nasonex for years and only recently developed side effects. I noticed a chronic sore throat and sensitivity around my thyroid. I saw my doc who ordered a thyroid ultrasound which showed no issues. I just recently went away for a weekend and forgot my nasonex. I just noticed my sore throat is completely gone. I am assuming it is the nasonex since this is a common side effect. I will be asking my doc and going to stay off this med for now. | F | 41 | 3 years | 10/4/2015 | 3 | Sinus + mucus overproduction | It seems that it roughly coincided with when I began that I have difficulty swallowing food. It hurts. It feels like I have an air lock in my upper throat. I looked for comments on this drug and am interested to see the number for anxiety or depression since after I started Nasonex I feel like crying a lot of the time - something I'm not at all prone to do. Another - possible - thing is that one week after starting Nasonex I got a bad sinus infection - something I've managed to avoid for several years now | I was prescribed the Nasonex because of nasal drip to see if it was connected with night 'chokings' - a feeling of total constriction in the throat when asleep and then sudden panic waking. Nasonex has helped this since I haven't had a night choking since taking it. | F | 69 | 2 months 200 1X day | 4/27/2015 |
