| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | orbital celulitis & blocked sinuses | none | My 4 yr. old child hasn't had any of the side effects/symptoms described. Reason for taking: She had a hospital stay due to orbital cellulitis (infection of tissues around eye). Six weeks later a CAT scan revealed there was still sinus blockage. The ENT prescribed this (to be taken for 3 months) to relieve the blockage. After reading the posts I will talk with my doctor again, and am glad we will only be taking for 3 months. Can't say I am satisfied or not because we probably won't do another CAT scan to see if the sinus is cleared. Personally I would recommend NASAL IRRIGATION to anyone who has sinus problems. It is natural and it works!! It can be done with children and I will probably consider trying this with my child if she is willing. | F | 4 | 1 months | 5/29/2009 | 3 | allergies | Ok for a month, after that side effects came, sleepless nights,severe palptation during night, i would just toss and turn on the bed, just about 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night . i m going to discontinue from today | It helps my brother a lot , but i think not good for me. Therefore, depends upon a person how effective nasonex is. Doctors are possibly not giving side effects so that patient are not aware of it. If aware, patient can develop the effects. I used to take singulair and NASONEX .After going through there symptoms I am discontinuing both . It is better to sleep with mouth open than not to sleep during the night. | M | 28 | 1 months | 3/10/2009 | 3 | nasal congestion | I felt jittery, like extra adrenaline racing through me. Only on it 2 days, and jittery right away, it wears off in a few hours (I take in am and pm, for first week, I was told).Taking it because I've had nasal congestion for years, just hate going to doctor. Now I can breath through my nose, esp. at night! Not a "mouth-breather" anymore!! | Need to keep reading, but wasn't that gung-ho to take this anyhow, as it is a steroid, adn worried about damage to my nose. And shocked at the price! | F | 38 | 2 days | 2/18/2009 | 3 | Nasal Congestion | I have tried Nasonex twice. Both times I have experience irregular acne on my face. I only narrowed it down to the nasonex after the second time I used it. | 24 | 2 weeks | 2/4/2009 | 3 | Fluid in middle ear | On it four days, so far only experienced heart palpitations and one night I got a really high-pitched ringing/buzzing in my ear accompanied by what felt like an electric shock. Mild sore throat. I'll try it for two weeks and see if it works or if the side effects get worse. | Like most people on this site, I wasn't given any information on the drug. My doctor just handed me two samples and said "spray once a day." I asked her about side effects and she said there were none. If it's true that this drug causes all of these symptoms described, I am very sorely disappointed in the manufacturer for hiding this information. | F | 31 | 4 days | 1/26/2009 | 3 | Nasal Polyps & Congestion | Very high-pitched, constant, tinnitus (like 'cricket chirping'- only higher). | I am not 100% sure that taking Nasonex is the cause of this tinnitus. However, it only appeared after taking this, so I think there is a pretty good chance it is the cause. The Nasonex has worked to unblock my nose though. | M | 48 | 2 years | 12/11/2008 | 3 | ear infection | after 4 full days of using it in conjucntion with antibiotics to fight a "severe" ear infection, the ear mess is about cleared up but I now feel weak, tired, foggy, red-eyed, and chest-congested (which is what led to the darn ear infection in the first place!) | Think I will stop using Nasonex after reading all these comments. | M | 35 | 4 days | 11/26/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | not sure | M | 69 | 12 months | 10/6/2008 | 3 | Allergic Rhinitis, Post Nasal Drip | Dry cough at night, sore chest, sore nasal passages, sore throat, weakened immune system, sleeplessness, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, headaches | I was prescibed Nasonex because of hay fever made much worse by desert sandstorms where I live overseas. I had no idea the spray is steriod related. Lately I have come to recognize the severity of my hay fever problem, and thought it was causing ALL of the above. I started using the Nasonex more. It does help the runny nose and sneezing. The sleeplessness and nervous tension are something I have been aware of lately, and it has been a mystery to me. I had no idea that the cough I have now developed could be related to the Nasonex. It is typical in a foreign country not to be told all of the truth. I already use steroid cream very sparingly for occasional eczema. I will never use the Nasonex again, even though it gives the quick relief. Thank God I found this site and can see I'm not alone. | M | 40 | 12 months | 9/15/2008 | 3 | sinusitis | Occasional nosebleed and persistent CHEESY smell | works ok but not great. | M | 47 | 2 months | 8/8/2008 | 3 | allergies | mouth ulcers, metallic taste in mouth, constant sneezing | Nasonex really works to cleear allergies but I couldn't stand the side affects. Now I'm just on Singulair and it works great! | F | 19 | 5 days | 7/31/2008 | 3 | After Sinus Surgery for Acute Sinus | Knees ache when bending or getting up (this happened suddenly after taking this medicine). Tired every day and trouble sleeping. Other than those things, I feel great since my surgery. | I was shocked to see the comments here. I honestly don't think Nasonex has been a horrible experience for me. I just wonder if my sudden achy knees are caused by taking it (which is why I am on here). I feel for anyone who has to endure sinusitis and I know the pain suffered from that is worse than anything. I would take this again as I don't think the side effects are severe for me. | F | 38 | 3 weeks | 7/16/2008 | 3 | nasal congestion and polyps | sore left shoulder, constant urge to pee, lonely, never satisfied, high pressure in eyes | tries to wean off but failed, nose totally filled with blisters, polyps, am now waiting for surgery as side effects are not worth the congestion relief | F | 54 | 10 years | 7/13/2008 | 3 | Sinusitis | Lost sense of smell completely after 3 days of Nasonex. | I stopped taking Nasonex after 3 days and 10 days later still have not recovered my sense of smell. I can breathe through my nose but also still have some remaining sinus symptoms. It did help drain the sinuses. Short term use is OK unless this loss of smell permanent. | M | 58 | 3 days | 7/7/2008 | 3 | allergies | Joint pain, body aches, extremely upset stomach, weight gain | I have had bad joint pain and problems in the past. Since taking this med and pulmicort and another corticosteroid for my skin (a few months prior), I've realized that it is all of the steroids that are causing my arthritis and body aches. It is a known side effect of steroids but not pointed out with this or any of the other drugs (including prednisone and corticosteroid spinal injections to stop pain) I've been regularly perscribed. Not to mention the weight issues that have come about through all of this. I have gone from a 115 lb frame to 165, gaining on average 10-15 pounds with each steroidal drug. I lose 5-10 but the next drug just adds more weight and it is the hardest thing to lose. To make matters worse, the extra fat deposits in weird places, like between my shoulder blades, in my face, my feet, etc. | F | 28 | 60 days | 6/24/2008 | 3 | congestion | Severe tightness of the chest, hard to get a full breath, anxiety, dizziness and nausea. After reading all the reviews, im gonna cancel my appointment with my doc, and throw away my nasonex. wow! | F | 48 | 5 weeks | 6/21/2008 | 3 | Sinus | I experienced dizziness, anxiety, and blur vision. As if my sinus problem wasn't bad enough, the side-effects made my entire facial region (ear, nose, eyes) a very uncomfortable region. | The overwhelming side-effects masked the usefulness of the drug. I switched to Afrin, a non-steriod nasal spray, that cleared my nasal passages sans crazy side-effects. | F | 23 | 5 days | 5/28/2008 | 3 | severe runny nose and congestion | Irritability, mood swings, cries more over little things, nervous. Wondering if these changes are related to Nasonex or Singulair or Pulmicort. Also began stuttering and repeating same word over and over, never did or had any of these issues before. Thought it was just being a toddler, but they seem real extreme and did not exist before starting these meds. Nasonex was started last and things got WORSE, now he is biting his toe nails and is never content, even more anxious. | Very worried about small children and this drug as well as others. Worried about affect on growth, immune system. I will say that since he has been on this medication, he has not had another sinus infection and although the runny nose remains, its not nearly as bad and doesn't seem to cause as many colds and infections as before, I just wish there was something else I could try, I hate trading one problem for another. | M | 3 | 1 months | 5/27/2008 | 3 | sinus, dizziness | Aching joints, sore kidneys, hard to pee, very tired, tired muscles, , legs are sensitive to touch, back aches, overall discomfort and sore all over body. | I was very dizzy due to the fluid in my ears (sinus blockage)and my Dr. prescribed Nasonex. It worked great, my dizzyness went away after 2 days but the Dr. told me to keep taking it. I am stopping it now, I was feeling very tired all of the time, achy joints, tired muscles, all of the before mentioned side effects, I couldn't figure out what it was until I googled it and saw this website, am stopping this drug immediately. | M | 32 | 5 days | 5/11/2008 | 3 | chronic allergies/ear fluid | anxiety, bloody nose | My six year old son was given this as a last resort after multiple medicines haven't worked for allergies/ear fluid. This little boy has always had excellent behavior. The first morning after receiving a nightly dose of this, he had a meltdown at school so bad, crying hysterically the teacher ordered me to pick him up. He immediatly changed and began crying every day in school ( noone was picking on him) and wanting to come home because he missed me. This is the last month of school and he NEVER acted like this before ever. Almost like a different child. Dr and pharmacist say this med is not sytemically absorbed, so is NOT the cause of the sudden abrupt behavior change. I am stopping it and expect his behavior to be back to NOT sad and anxious anymore. His nose is clear in the morning, but full and clogged by the end of the day. Not worth what he has been going through side effects. Dr refuses to accept that it even MIGHT be this medicine. I am convinced it is. | M | 6 | 7 days | 5/6/2008 |
