| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | allergy | I have very vivid, disturbing dreams. Not really nightmares, but so weird and detailed. I thought it was the Xyzal, but MD confirmed Nasonex responsible. | F | 60 | 10 days 2 sprays 1X day | 5/29/2010 | 3 | non allergenic sinusitis | I also suffer Epilepsy, occasional seizures, which often cause depression and the drugs (Keppra) can cause anxiety. The sinusitis was keeping me awake for years, blocked nose at night. I did the allergy checks which showed normal. I have started taking loratidine again, as i had sudden allergy symptoms in May. NASONEX has helped me somewhat for about a year or more. Reading these comments are suggesting to me that my almost constant anxiety; hyper tension and not feeling myself - (when reality tells me I have every reason to be very happy) could well be due to Nasonex. One side of my nose is very sore and bleeding and horribly dry. I am going to see my Doctor about this. | This is a steroid and the Doctor, oddly, gave no information on contra indications whatsoever - with regards long term use. | M | 47 | 1 years 2xam/pm 2X day | 5/16/2010 | 3 | seasonal allergies | dizziness | Ive taken nasonex before and never had the dizziness. I now wonder if its because of taking two sprays at once. I think I will cut back and see if it goes away. Disappointing as it really helps me manage spring and ragweed allergies. Might go back to Flonase as the side effects were less. | F | 36 | 8 days 2 sprays 1X day | 4/25/2010 | 3 | seasonal allergies | I have been experiencing lightheadedness, trouble focusing, fatigue, slowness in reacting to situations while driving, gardening or any other activity requiring careful attention | It has helped the allergic symptoms and I can sleep at night without sneezing and coughing. I reduced the dosage to one spray per nostril but that has not helped the attention problems very much. | F | 63 | 50 days 1X day | 4/23/2010 | 3 | Allergies, Sinus Infection | After being on it for a few months my energy is zapped, blood pressure was climbing too high along w/heart palpitations & fluttering. I used 1 to 2 sprays daily never exceeding 2 sprays per nostral. | I love what it has done for my Sinus problems however I stopped using a few days ago and my BP rates are back to normal and the heart palps & fluttering are almost gone. This is scary! | F | 50 | 4 months 1 spray 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 3 | inflamed sinuses | This medication did succeed in unblocking my sinuses. Yet, for the past two days I have not been able to smell anything. Today I cannot taste my food or drink. The second day I had pains on the right hand side of my chest that would stop me in my tracks. I am worried that this medication may have killed my senses. Hopefully I am being over dramatic & they will reappear, hopefully not as I'm entering Glastonbury toilets! | F | 33 | 7 days 2 x 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 3 | swollen sinuses allergies snoring | My son is 8. He has been snoring for a couple of years and has obviously swollen nasal passages. (had adenoids & tonsils out 3 years ago). Dr. prescribed this spray. I gave it to him last night and today he was on top of the world today. Hugging me--constantly. Chasing his brother. Gave the dog a bath. Cleaned his room. Laughing at everything. Jumping around. Saying he woke up not feeling tired. Like he's on speed or coke. Weird. The sudden and dramatic personality change is huge. I don't understand why it is happening exactly, but nasonex is powerful stuff. I'm not sure it's a good thing. He needs to breathe at night, but he's freaking me out. He seems a little crazy and unbalanced. Thank goodness we are seeing an allergist next week. I would NEVER use this over the long term and MIGHT use it once a week. Might not, too. | Sudden and dramatic personality change in my 8 year old. Fortunately he's a good kid and turned in to turbo-charged super boy rather than Mr. Naughtypants. But it's not normal! If he were normally angsty or aggressive, he could have really gone off the deep end. User beware. | M | 8 | 2 days 1X day | 2/25/2010 | 3 | Nasal Polyps | Bloody dry uncomfortable nose, clear the nose and within an hour or so its very dry again. | Suffered with allergies and blocked nose for as long as I can remember, Nasonex has made me be able to breathe through my nose again although my sense of smell has not yet returned but I didnt have it to start with so maybe its gone forever :-( Overall Im doing ok on it so far! I'd rather be able to breathe through a dry nose than to be totally blocked. | F | 27 | 3 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | pollen allergies | tachycardio, elevated libido, nosebleeds. | I stopped doing two shots of this stuff, that is too strong. Ever since I scaled back to one per day the side effects disappeared, except for elevated libido. | M | 33 | 4 years 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | chronic nasal congestion | Infrequent double vision perhaps could be attributed to flonase. Also feel a general strain on my vision most days. I've stopped taking it for a week and my head feels less cloudy and my eyes not as strained. Eye doctor and GP have no idea why I've had double vision on and off. | It has been fantastic over the years. Been using on and off for at least five years, but finally thought maybe my infrequent eye problems are caused by flonase, so have stopped using for a while and my eye sight feels less strained. Will have to see if my double vision comes back. | F | 37 | 2 years 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 3 | M | 44 | 5 years 1X day | 2/11/2010 | 3 | Sinus infection, post-nasal drip | disturbed sleep, waking every hour, but able to go back to sleep. Inadequate sleep makes me tired during the day. | it gave immediate relief for the symptoms of the sinus infection -- sinus headache and sore throat went away very quickly and post-nasal drip (drip is such a wrong word for this sticky mucus) went away gradually, but when I stop taking it (because of sleep problems mainly) the sore throat and post-nasal gunk start up again. For sinus infection, I think it just masks symptoms. | F | 64 | 30 days 4 x 50mcg 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 3 | eustacian tube closure | I suppose I can't say definitively it was Nasonex, but I've been taking it for two weeks (water behind the eardrum due to eustacian tube closure, so my dr. prescribed Nasonex and ampicillin), and I've been lethargic. At the end of the two weeks also very depressed. I really hope it wears off soon. | It cleared up my ear proble, but I really don't want to take it again if, in fact, it was the cause of my depression. It affected my job, my workout regimen, my school, sleep patterns, etc. | M | 42 | 2 weeks | 1/30/2010 | 3 | Sinus congestion | Tight chest, sore chest muscles, lack of a sense of smell | At this stage I have not stopped using it... but having read the comments here, and correlated the onset of symptons, it appears I should stop using it for a while, and see what happens | M | 53 | 30 days | 1/27/2010 | 3 | Acute sinus problems | Most all the symptoms described on the previous pages. I have been feeling unwell off and on for the last two years. | I had not considered that the spray was the cause of my problems as I take other medication and put it down to a combination of these. However the last three months have been hell and I have visited the Dr on three occasion giving a large number of the symptoms already mentioned. I thought the depression and suicidal thoughts would have made them jump to action but they just gave me a course of anti histamine, then more and very strong Steroid drops and anti biotics then another ultra strong steroid spray. All made me feel even more ill. Thankfully I found this site yesterday and am now trying to get through the cold turkey effect of coming off this drug from hell. I have been a long term user around 7 years I reckon. Still having some problems but it is only day two off the spray. Feeling more human already. Don't take it, I have been through hell in the last two years and I was convinced at times I was going insane. | M | 64 | 7 years | 1/14/2010 | 3 | alergic rhinitis | sinus pressure in the face but please nte that chest tightness , dizziness , and muscle spasms and are due to sinussits and my nt be nasonex fault | I been having tight throat and diziness and muscle spasms alot longer than i been on nasonex due to sinus pressure. alot of what you guys are saying probably was there before the nasonex as well and this is just the sinus nightmare we are in | M | 30 | 2 days | 1/8/2010 | 3 | STUFFY NOSE | sense of dread | M | 52 | 5 years | 12/19/2009 | 3 | constant blocked nose | over the past few weeks have been experiencing a shortnes of breath at night only getting a few hours sleep at a time. | clears the nose | M | 57 | 5 months | 10/19/2009 | 3 | Nasal polyps allergies | Severe joint pains which move from place to place, especially fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, hips, knees. Also minor nose bleeds. | Tried stopping Nasonex for 2 weeks, joint pains disappeared after 3 days. Resumed Nasonex last week, joint pains back in full force. | F | 43 | | 10/14/2009 | 3 | To assist in breathing/allergies | It took about 3 weeks to figure out that I was now having severe headaches, nasal pain, coughing, itching, blurred vision and such that I was not having before. I only went online to to search for side effects as I suspected the headaches, and found out all the other common ones I'd have never thought related were listed as common!! And I'm not a whiner!! | If it works without side effects it seems awesome, but if you have conflicts, run away.. | M | 46 | 21 days | 7/29/2009 |
