| 3 | Allergist | Dry eyes, eye pressure and severe eye pain. Possibly multiple salzmann nodules | I took this drug for 5 years (during allergy season) and didn't think it was having any effect. Except that I also had other problems (namely eye problems) going on, but thought they were unrelated. However, when I stopped using this product for 4 months, my eye problems also went away. I started the product again, eye problems returned. At that point, I had an epiphany ... all these years of eye pain, eye pressure, dry eye, blurry vision that glasses weren't fixing have all likely been side effects of this medication. I've also had two salzmann nodules in my left eye that requires surgery in the past 2 years - and that might be due to the increased eye pressure? | F | 42 | 5 years 50mcg 1X day | 4/25/2015 | 3 | vertigo | Insomnia,lack of sex drive and mild impotence. | M | 47 | 1 years 50mcg | 11/11/2014 | 3 | Allergies | My 8 year old daughter started having bad headaches and nightmares about 4 weeks ago. We started her on the Nasonex about 5 weeks ago and it seems like she is progressively getting worse. Then all of the sudden it popped into my head that this could be because of the Nasonex!! I remembered Nasonex giving me headaches when I took it. I don't remember any nightmares, but that was over a year ago. I am going to wean her off it starting today and we'll see what happens. She begged me to take her to the doctor because she doesn't know why she is feeling this way. I am going to make that appointment and hopefully removing her from the Nasonex will help. | F | 8 | 5 weeks 1X day | 10/15/2014 | 3 | Eustachian Tube blockage | Anxiety, panic attacks, lack of energy, feeling of hopelessness, tired | I took Nasonex in the past for a eustachian tube problem with no problems. However, that was only for a week and it helped within days. This time for the other ear, I was told to use the entire bottle. Well, lately I have been having panic attacks, anxiety issues, tiredness, exhaustion, to the point where I only felt comfortable being at home. Terrible. I will tell my doctor about this just in case, but I feel better reading these comments so now I know I am not alone or going crazy. I think it did help my blockage, but I will not use it for that long again. | F | 39 | 1 months 1X day | 8/18/2014 | 3 | congestion | Severe Headaches, very emotional, cry for anything | M | 9 | 8 weeks 1X day | 6/17/2014 | 3 | Nasal Congestion and Runny Nose | Debilitating migraine-like headaches, heart palpitations, tightness in chest, development of anxiety disorder (not solely this), nasal dryness/blood in nasal passages, swelling in body | This class of medications are not worth taking if you can find something else that works; several times, I quit this medication and started again, chalking the side effects up to the placebo effect but sure enough, I eventually start feeling terrible and wonder what is causing me to feel so bad and realize that it's the nasal spray. | M | 21 | 2 years Two sprays 1X day | 3/14/2014 | 3 | Chronic sinus inflammation | Sometimes I stop using for 1 or 2 months to see what happens when I start again. This is it: Headache, dizzyness, insomnia, nosebleed, dry nose, pain in sinuses, nausea, vomiting. After long term I noticed immune deficiency. No matter how healthy I eat and live I would get herpes outbreaks all the time, cheilitis, weird sores in and outside mouth and worst of all painful oral thrush. Canker sores, weird taste/smell, skin rashes all over the body, My inflammation comes and goes. | All doctors deny that the side effects are from Nasonex. They said it would have NO side effects at all. How the hell would you expect that from steroids? All drugs have side effects. I will now stop using Nasonex, I recommend SinuSoothe (Natural) | F | 22 | 12 months 2 sprays 2X day | 3/3/2014 | 3 | Sinus infection | Right side of face has pins and needles feeling from under the eye to bottom of chin. Such a strange feeling. Dizzy, nasea and short of breath. | F | 35 | 5 days 1X day | 1/18/2014 | 3 | Past nasal drip | Extremely aggressive, night terrors, hitting, intense screaming | My 21 month old son had taken nasonex before with no side effects. He was taking it for coughing at night due to a post nasal drip and constant ear nfevtions. However, this time it was prescribed to take it twice a day. Within 3 days there was a MAJOR change in my sons behavior. My very sepweet boy who loved to eat and sleep became super aggressive. He started hitting me and his baby brother who he always kissed, not hit. He began screaming an out of control scream making me wonder if he was possessed! He was waking up at night screaming from night terror than wouldn't go back to sleep, he was probably too scared from the awful dreams he was having. I thoug at first that maybe it was the beginning of the terrible twos but theses symptoms came on way too fast and the it dawned on me that it might be the nasonex. I found this website and now my suspicions are confirmed. Parents beware! I feel awful that my son has been feeling like this from this medication! | M | 2 | 5 days 2X day | 2/24/2013 | 3 | allergies | cataract in my right eye | F | 52 | 4 years 30 microgr | 2/16/2013 | 3 | Allergies | Well today was my first dosage of the spray and everything seemed fine. I've been laying in bed since 10 pm trying to sleep and it's 1 am now. Has to be from the meds. Not sure if I will continue. Have had a minor headache also. | M | 30 | 1 days | 12/10/2012 | 3 | Rhinitis | I feel like the Duracell Bunny! Hyperactive. Blocked nose, blood in nasal mucus. | I was prescribed one bottle of Nasonex a year ago which helped clear up excess mucous, so, when symptoms returned, the consultant suggested another prescription - I agreed. What I'd forgotten about was the side effects I'd had before, mainly hyperactivity. I don't take any other medication so the difference was remarkable. People have also commented on my mood so I'm sure it's affecting that simply because they have commented - grumpy is the word they use. All of which is out of character. I googled the hyperactivity thing with the drug and landed here. We can't all be wrong. But as I have now cleaned my fridge (at 6 am), partied like a teenager and am still going...I might just ask for a repeat prescription!! | F | 48 | 1 months 2 sprays 1X day | 10/12/2012 | 3 | Year round indoor & outdoor allergi | Headache, sore muscles, tight chest, low-grade fever, sore throat, nosebleeds. | I used Nasonex years ago and had great success with taking care of my sneezing and congestion, but the constant sore throats made me stop taking it. Tried it again this year and did wonderfully for several months, then started having random days where I felt like I had the flu; fever, headaches, body aches, hurt to breathe. It would last for about a day and then stop, then repeat again. Going to stop the Nasonex for a few weeks and see if these symptoms disappear (pretty sure it's the culprit). It did a wonderful job of clearing up my congestion and helping me breathe, I had no sneezing or itching... but the side effects are too miserable. It's like having a mini-flu every other day, and I can't function like that. I'm glad I found this site, nobody ever mentions these side effects! | F | 35 | 1X day | 10/9/2012 | 3 | Chronic Sinusuits / Allergies | This stuff worked wonders on my terrible allergies and unblocked my nose when nothing else would... BUT, it's been 2 weeks and I am feeling the same type of side effects I was when I was on Prednisone. I have become so moody and quick to snap, anxious, and my heart rate is up. I had a dose of 2 squirts yesterday and felt so hyper and aggressive, I swear I am not normally like this. And am I crazy, but is my face breaking out more because of this too? I hope reducing the dosage will help reduce these awful side effects, because it sure is nice to be able to breathe. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 3 | Allergies/Clogged Eustachian Tubes | Anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia | I don't notice any benefits from the nasonex and have had quite a number of negative side effects. I can't say for certain that they are related, but I will stop using the nasonex and see if it goes away. My doctor claims there is no way my symptoms are from the med, but after reading others stories here, I have to question him. | F | 28 | 60 days 2 sprays 1X day | 7/13/2012 | 3 | Congestion after an operation | Anger, diahrrea | M | 18 | 6 weeks 18mg | 6/5/2012 | 3 | Sesonal allergy | Tried flutonsine made me dizzy then tried this hopping t would work. Started getting dizzy and real nasous. When I stand up feel like ima faint and when I walk I feel like I want to barf I hate it and my body become addicted to it without it Dosent do what it use to | F | 15 | 1 months 2 sprays | 5/23/2012 | 3 | Stuffiness, ear congestion | After using it consistently every day (in the beginning I only used it as the symptoms appeared) I have developed severe itching in my ear and throat on the side I use it (only my right ear was affected with the symptoms I mentioned). It has become unbearable so I am cutting down to one spray and then will probably have to discontinue. | It really helps the symptoms but now has become a problem in it's own right. | F | 55 | 3 months 100 mcg 1X day | 5/4/2012 | 3 | Nasal congestion every day | Intense heart palpitations, weakness, dizziness, headrush and spotted vision when standing, feeling of inadequate O2, smell/taste loss, bloating, menstrual-like cramps while exercising and extreme menstrual cramps, irritability, anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping and nightmares/vivid dreams-nearly every possible side effect. I didn't make the connection of side effects til recently so as a teen I was on anti-depression/anxiety (Lexapro) meds and I also had sickening periods. The heart palps happened within the year and I went to ER from fear, but all these symptoms went away about 2 weeks after stopping use of 1 spray per nostril before bed. I run at least 2 miles/day and this has made it so hard until disuse. It works great for curing the congestion, but it isn't worth the resulting misery. I stopped using it a couple of times for a few months (which is how I figured it out) but I can't believe I've lived with those side effects for so long. | F | 24 | 6 years | 4/14/2012 | 3 | Allergies | Patchy sores on throat, weight gain despite dieting and exercising, water retention, bloating in abdomen. | It helped my allergies,heck, I felt like I was on top of the world. But the side effects are very undesirable and just "mask" symptoms by suppressing your immune system. This is EXTREMELY dangerous to people with existing viral/bacterial infections, ie Lyme disease, strep throat, hepatitis, herpes, AIDS, etc. I will never take STEROIDS again. Steroids are very harmful for your body, and doctors should use utmost caution before handing them out like candy. | F | 29 | 2 months 4 sprays 1X day | 2/25/2012 |
