| 3 | chronic rhinitis | Acute chest pain,sinuses feel"tight" | I moved onto Nasonex 3 weeks ago as I had just finished a 2 week course of Flixonase Nasule drops originally prescribed to combat my Rhinitis by an ENT consultant. After reading this forum I realise what a hit and miss strategy is used by the doctors and one mans' meat is another mans' poison | M | 66 | 3 weeks | 1/6/2008 | 3 | Severe Sinus HEadaches | Dry Mouth, Sensitive eyes and hungry all the time. Brief Diarria(sic) | After reading this site I might just throw it out but it seems to be working. The mucus drips definitly upset the stomach, Just finished my first sample and will start on the scrib and see what happens | M | 48 | 12 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Sinus | Mild heart palpitations the first day of use. Upset stomach and cold sweats. I felt as though I wanted to vomit a few times, but never did. | While it did relieve pressure in my head, it caused other side effects as mentioned in my previous paragraph. I'll continue taking it until the pressure has subsided completely. | M | 25 | 2 days | 1/4/2008 | 3 | Sinus infection | Jittery, light headed, tightness in chest, hungry all the time. overly irritable. | Stopped using it. | M | 32 | 5 days | 12/17/2007 | 3 | NASONEX | I was prescribed this as I was suffering from buzzing noise in my ears day and night and Dr though it would help equalise the pressure in my ears. I started to use this and it did stop the buzzing but the main symptom i exoerienced was my left eye twitched. All in all it worked for me but I only took it for a week | F | 39 | 7 days | 12/4/2007 | 3 | chronic sinus allergies | Caused a shingles outbreak on my face resulting in some nerve damage to my eye/distorted vision). Did suppress the nasal allergy response however. | I would recommend getting a shingles/chickenpox vaccine prior to taking this medication. | M | 34 | 6 weeks | 11/27/2007 | 3 | Congestion/Nasally Voice | My six year old son's pediatrician prescribed this for a nasally voice and congestion related to the seasonal allergy. He has been taking it for about two weeks now and he has had no side effects for ear infections, headache, sleeplessness, or stomach ache. However, he does seem to be more irritable and disagreeable since starting to take it. This orneriness seems to heighten at evening-time before he gets his dose although he gets argumentative throughout the day now. Not sure if his current disposition is related, but thought it was worth adding this note since he is usually pretty agreeable and laid-back. My son still talks nasally which could just be habit now, but he is not congested at night now. This is a big relief since he has been congested since he was a baby. We'll continue for the few weeks the doc suggested and go from there. | The pediatrician said that the nasal spray does not enter into the blood stream like other steroids do. However, I don't understand how it can't to some degree since it goes into the tissues of the nose. I guess I would look further into it if my son had the more severe side effects like some here I have read about or if he would need to take it all the time. | M | 6 | 14 days | 11/27/2007 | 3 | congestion | At first it worked great. He could breathe at night and slept better. After about a month and a half, my son started getting nose bleeds. We were told by our allergist to make sure we sprayed the Nasonex toward the outside of his nose which we do. We also spray his nose with saline spray to counteract the nose bleeds which seems to help. He only uses it once a day at night. After two months of use, he now complains of a sore throat and increased hunger. This past weekend he had to blow his nose all the time. He couldn't clear his nose and carried a tissue constantly. | We plan to keep an eye on his symptoms and take him off Nasonex if they continue. | M | 9 | 60 days | 11/20/2007 | 3 | sinusitus | heart palpitations, irritability, tightness in chest, trouble sleeping | This drug works wonders on nasal passages but the side effects sneak up on you. I am a very athletic healthy male and I suddenly developed PVCs. In 3 years my doctor has not been able to determine the cause (nor have I) as I was taking the drug occasionally. Recently I stopped using Nasonex after using it for several months and suddenly I am at ease. Heart is fine. | M | 36 | 3 years | 11/13/2007 | 3 | allergic rhinitis/ nasal congestion | Severe chest pain and arrythmias developed after using NASONEX for 7.4 weeks. Stopped use after ER visit, and side effect symptoms continued for 3 weeks and still exists today after discontinuing use. | This drug works great for nasal allergy symptoms, but I think that consumers are NOT BEING TOLD REAL LABORATORY FINDINGS about what this drug will do to you if taken frequently or long term. | F | 30 | 2 months | 11/4/2007 | 3 | allergies | Deppresion, Angsity,insomnia and nose bleeds | It definitly worked, but the side effects were horrible. | F | 12 | 2 weeks | 11/2/2007 | 3 | Nasal Allergies | My 9 year old daughter has been taking this medicine for a little over a week and is complaining today about butterflies in her chest and she is also emotional and dizzy. After reading all of these similar side effects I will not be giving her this any more. | F | 44 | 12 days | 10/3/2007 | 3 | Seasonal Allergies | My daughter has been using Nasonex off and on (depending on the season) for a couple of years. During this time she has gone through what I thought were normal bouts of getting up at night, saying her ear hurts, etc. All things I thought were excuses to come into or even sleep in our roon. By 4am this morning, and my daughters 5th or so trip in (since 2:30) to tell me she couldnt sleep, I started to think of what this could possibly be, other than our knowing she is afraid of the dark. Since birth she has never been a great sleeper, so I just chucked it up as all sorts of issues lumped together. In short, she is coming off Nasonex today. After reading all these posts, I'll bet she sleeps great tonight. | F | 8 | 2 years | 9/6/2007 | 3 | chronic sinusitus | dizziness, blurry vision, sleeping disruption, shortness of breath, irritability | After taking this medication for a few months on and off I've noticed that I am often dizzy and have had blurry vision. I didn't attribute the side effects to Nasonex until recently and just started reading these other experiences. I am now convinced that the Nasonex must be the cause of these problems since I am normally a very healthy, athletic person who should not be short of breath or dizzy to the point of passing out. It seems to work great in clearing up my nasal problems but I am going to stop it b/c of the side effects. | F | 38 | 3 months | 9/6/2007 | 3 | seasonal allergies | Minor sore throat and headache. Developed cataracts. | Worked for my allergies but don't think it was worth having vision problems because of it. | F | 53 | 6 months | 8/20/2007 | 3 | allergies, seasonal/pet | Have used off and on for a few years. Just started using it again and after a week I noticed my right eye sometimes felt like it had glass in it, and is very dry. Sharp stabbing pain in my right eye near my nose. Blinking makes it worse. When I sprayed my nasal passages this morning I immediately had another sharp stabbing pain in my eye and burning in my nose. This caused me to suspect the Nasonex. | I had lasik a few years ago and my eyes are somewhat drier anyway now, so I am probably susceptible to this. I thought I was just outside too much in the sun/wind and my eye dried a little, maybe I'm not hydrated enough and need to drink more water, etc. Now I am thinking this sudden onset of eye pain and extra dryness is very likely associated with the Nasonex. I will stop again and see if the eye pain goes away. Glad I found this site and that others have commented on the dry eyes. Not a side effect that they tell you about in the literature. | M | 44 | 7 days | 8/15/2007 | 3 | fluid in inner ear | Tightness in chest and dry cough. Uncomfortable! | It did help with the inner ear issues but the side effects (I'm assuming here) are not worth it. | F | 51 | 4 weeks | 8/13/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Photosensitivity. My eyes hurt if I go outside during the day without sunglasses for even a few seconds | M | 46 | 8 days | 8/8/2007 | 3 | allergies | anxiety, panic attacks, eye twitches, loud tinnitus | I have Fibromyalgia and the energy was great at first and I could breathe but I had trouble sleeping and panic attacks. I used 1/2 what my doctor prescribed. Maybe short bursts of use would be better than long term continuous use. That wouldn't make the drug companies enough money though. | F | 50 | 5 months | 6/26/2007 | 3 | allergies | hyperactive, jittery, legs shaking, aggressive and angry | My 10 year old son began taking this medication just 4 days ago and even though it's done wonders for his allergies, he's been shaking his legs uncontrollably and has been extremely hyper and jittery. Tonight however he had an extremely aggressive outburst none like I've ever seen and he threw a rock at my head!!! This is frightening and I'm taking him off the medication immediately. | 4 days | 6/17/2007 |
