| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | seasonal allergy | Suicidal thoughts, depression, lethargy, and anger. | Although Nasonex was effective with controlling my seasonal allergies (peak in fall & spring) it caused very nasty side effects. I took my self off it twice just to confirm that it was causing my mood changes, and it was confirmed (becareful to titrate off, because it is a steriod). I threw away my Nasonex and am now taking Zyrtec with decent results. | F | 30 | 2 years | 4/30/2008 | 3 | head pressure, cough, nasal drip | felt jittery, shaky, and very tired | it did help my pressure and cough, but was not comfortable with the "shaky" feeling I was having while using it. i think i will stick to benadryl | F | 41 | 2 days | 4/23/2008 | 3 | Rhinitis | I don't know if this is a side effect but after taking this medication for 2 weeks I started getting severe itching, burning and redness in the eyes. My prescribed eye drops and salve don't seem to help. This only starts in the afternoon but lasts until I go to bed. In the morning it is not bothersome. | I should also say that I take many other medications as I have Myasthenia Gravis disease(ocular version)but those meds have never given me any problems or side effects other than, I suspect, the rhinitis. | M | 67 | 17 days | 4/21/2008 | 3 | Congestion and sinus headaches | I have been taking Nasonex for five weeks, and in retrospect, I'm realizing how negatively it has impacted my life. I have had extreme mood swings, depression, overwhelmed, and crying easily. At first the drug did help with my congestion and headaches, but now I am seeing that it also caused these terrible side effects. After seeing these other comments here, I will also be stopping my use of Nasonex. | I would not recommend using Nasonex. | F | 27 | 5 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Definitely keeping me awake at night. I'm only sleeping 1 or 2 hours at a time. Last night seemed to reach a peak, after being on the medicine for about 2 weeks. I had this same problem last year when I tried it too. | I really want to find a solution for the insomnia, because the Nasonex definitely helps me feel better otherwise. But sleep is essential! I'm going to stop the medicine for a few days, and then try taking the dose in the morning instead of the prescribed bedtime. | F | 41 | 12 days | 4/16/2008 | 3 | Allergic Rhinitis | I started taking Nasonex on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday) I felt tight in the chest and my heart was pounding. Although I was suspecting Nasonex to be the cause, I used it today again and then I found this website! I see other people have had the same effects. I'm not going to use it again. I wonder how long it will take for these effects to go away. | It did help with the stuffy nose. | F | 46 | 3 days | 4/14/2008 | 3 | endoscopic sinus surgery | loss of taste, metallic taste, dizziness/vertigo | I had endoscopic sinus surgery two years ago. As a follow-up, the surgeon recommended Nasonex, supposedly to deter the polyps from returning. He also prescribed Astelin for seasonal allergies, which I take very infrequently. I have noticed an increasing loss of taste (and I love to cook!), smell and an unpleasant metallic taste. Has anyone else noticed this? | F | 47 | 2 years | 4/9/2008 | 3 | blocked nasal passages | sore throat | used it before and it worked. This is the second time I have tried it and so far it is not working. | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 3/25/2008 | 3 | severe congestion due to allergies | weight gain, extremely tried in the afternoons, sometimes stuffed up. | I tried it for a month as directed by my doctor, yes my congestion is a lot better, but the weight gain is depressing i've been working out 4-5 days a week and have lost nothing...i feel hungary too often. | F | 37 | 1 months | 3/22/2008 | 3 | congested unilateral sinsus | sometimes in first week had tiredness. probably also contributed to excessive nasal dryness that may have aggrevated the swollen sinus condition. | worked very well the first 2-3 weeks just like Nasonex and Nasacort and then became mostly ineffective. suffered congestion for about 4 months most under doctor care using 4 different nasal sprays. While all seem to work initially for a couple of weeks or so, I think all greatly contributed to excessive nasal dryness to a sinus already made dry by allergy (ragweed most likely suspect). Decided to use non-medicated saline nasal spray several times a day to relieve dryness and also stopped all prescriptive nasal sprays. after about a week or so of almost constant nasal saline baths during the day and night, appears sinus now on the mend. also took 1G of viatamin C on theory to reduce histamines in system. no OTC oral drugs were effective except to disrupt sleep. oh yes, also used a 50% saline solution diluted Afrin spray a few times when night time sleeping too disrupted and very effective but very limited use due to rebound concerns. will also be sure to use saline sprays and nasa | 58 | 3 weeks | 3/18/2008 | 3 | nasal congestion | Extreme excitability. | My 5-year old was put on Nasonex just over a week ago and he has become extremely hyper and talkative. No side effects like this were listed on the box, but seeing that other parents have experienced this as well has me convinced it's the Nasonex. We have a follow-up appt in another week. I'll see how things go until then. My son's nose does seem less congested, but the hyperactivity is out of control. | M | 5 | 7 days | 3/14/2008 | 3 | constant runny nose | Our son, who is an "active" child had been doing very well at home and at school with his behavior. Since starting the medicine a week ago, he has been, to be honest, downright awful in terms of following directions and keeping his hands to himself. | We have noticed an improvement in his congestion; however, after reading other parents' comments about changes in behavior, we are stopping the use of this medicine. | M | 4 | 7 days | 3/12/2008 | 3 | Chronic Rhinitis | I have not determined whether Nasonex is responsible for the difficulty I have in getting a full nights sleep but I am suspect that it has some influence after reading similiar side effects. I work out, no caffeine, good diet, not over weight, no sleep apnea and not a great deal of stress but since I started taking it I sleep about 5 to 6 hours and feel tired during the day. I wish their was an alternative mediciene to control the headaches I get from eye and nose dryness and congestion due to food sensitivities and enviromental allergins. | Its a daily love hate relationship. | M | 54 | 5 years | 3/6/2008 | 3 | post nasal drip, blocked est. tubes | The nasal congestion is gone, post nasal drip less and estation tubes clear out. Seems to only last for a few hours. Experienceing tingling in left hand and foot, eye twiching, contstant up set stomachs, super fast heart beat. Pressure in the head and light headness. | I thought all the symtoms were from an infection left behind, but all the blood work comes out clean. Are all these happenings from this Nasonex? If I stop taking this how long till the side effects stop. Wow I may just give it a try. | F | 35 | 3 months | 3/5/2008 | 3 | allergies | constant colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia hyperactivity, especially at night | My daughter started taking Nasonex in July for severe allergies. She is allergic to just about everything environmental. The medicine greatly helped her runny nose due to allergies, however, she has had the worst winter ever. About every two weeks she comes down with another cold and since she also has asthma, the cold quickly turns into pneumonia or bronchitis. She has already been hospitalized once and we have been to the doctor so many times already since the New Year, I can't even count anymore. Nobody ever told me it could be due to the medicine. I think we are going to be stopping it for a while and see what happens. | F | 5 | 7 months | 2/16/2008 | 3 | Sinus infection | I haven't slept more than 30-60 minutes at a time since starting Nasonex and Augmentin. Wasn't sure if either drug could lead to insomnia so I started looking around the web. Nasonex definitely works to dry out the sinus area and calm the post-nasal drip, but if I can't sleep, nothing is worth that. | I'm so glad I found this site or would never have known that Nasonex may have caused my sleeplessness. I plan to discontinue today and hope to sleep tonight! | F | 35 | 2 days | 2/15/2008 | 3 | post nasal drip | after 3 days developed very sore and tight upper bronchial tract. same problem last time I tried it. | good stuff but after reading other comments , not too sure if cure may be worse than problem. will stop use | M | 65 | 4 days | 2/6/2008 | 3 | allergies | anxiety, tight chest, can't get to sleep | F | 37 | 9 days | 1/24/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Palpitations, arrhythmias (PACs/PVCs), agitation, insomnia. All went away when I stopped using the drug and came back when I tried it again a couple weeks later. | Cleared up my congestion within minutes of first using. Didn't have the side effects until day 2. Had to stop due to side effects. Switched to a saline spray, which worked well w/o side effects. | M | 28 | 3 days | 1/22/2008 | 3 | Allergies | I've been taking this drug on and off for about 4 years. The first time I stopped taking it was when I got frequent nose bleeds. In the past 3 months or so I've gotten the smokey smell that others have mentioned. The doctor attributes this smell to a sinus infection and every time it has occurred taking antibiotics has cured it, but 2 weeks or so later it comes back. Having read that others have this problem I am going to mention it to my doctor and see if there is another medication that will work. | Overall it works well for keeping my nose clear, but the smokey smell and funny taste is not worth it for me. | M | 27 | 4 years | 1/9/2008 |
