| 3 | Allergies | Dizziness, flu like symptoms, boils appearing, headaches, loss of appetite and hearing loss. | I was wondering why I was feeling like this lately, glad I stumbled on this site. I have not had the flu in decades and suddenly I came down with the flu a few weeks ago. I also had a boil that went bad and more are appearing, not as big as the first one. The dizziness and tiredness feeling is awful. My hearing has been muffled lately as I have to yawn to hear well. I teach, so I have been not feeling happy with the kids lately. I took Nasonex last year and had no problem. So I am going to stop taking it and hope for the best. Thanks for those who took time to write, as it does help others like me know that I am not making up these symptoms. | M | 41 | 2 months | 4/29/2007 | 3 | Allergies, sinus, congestion | Extreme fatigue, dizziness, sore throat, nose bleed, trouble concentrating | Nasonex helped clear my sinus for sure but I have been feeling extremely tired, falling asleep everywhere which never happens. I have been feeling dizzy ever since I started taking that medecine and it makes me irritable and very impatient. I have a nose bleed almost once a day and I can't concentrate at work! | F | 29 | 7 days | 4/26/2007 | 3 | allerghic rhinitis | Some bloody discharge, major (presumed) allergic reaction in the form of itchy hives. Unpleasant phantom smell--kept getting whiffs of nonexistent mildew/trash-like odor. | Medicine worked reasonably well to reduce allergic symptoms and open nasal passages, but itching started about a week into it. By week 6, I had hives and agonizing itching all over my upper body. I'm unwilling to trade one allergy for another, so I'll be seeking other options. | M | 21 | 6 weeks | 4/11/2007 | 3 | nasal stuffiness, sinus irritation | Bloody nasal discharge, occasional bouts of painful, raw feeling nasal area (perhaps because of bleeding?) These symptoms seem to occur more when there is a low-pressure weather system. | Tryingo to wean myself off of it a bit - only one squirt a day in each nostril instead of two... | F | 37 | 3 years | 4/10/2007 | 3 | Stuffy nose, post nasal drip | I feel hungry all the time. I have also been experiencing anxiety and nervousness. My nerves are on edge and I am feeling out of sorts. Also have some dizziness and blurred vision and a mild headache. | The medicine has helped with my allergies, but the side effects are too bothersome to continue taking the medicine. I will stop it. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 4/6/2007 | 3 | Allergic rhinitis | Occasional nosebleeds, smell problems, stinging in nose and eyes, increased irritibility, facial acne, water retention | I'm taking a cocktail of allergy and asthma medications, so side effects could be from one or a combination: Zyrtec, Singular, Flovent, albuterol. I've been experiencing unpleasant "phantom" smells. I randomly get strong whiffs of cigarette smoke or burning chemicals for no apparent reason. I was convinced someone was smoking in my office - but it was just my nose. Sometimes it smells like dish detergent is boiling on the stove. Other familiar smells are still the same, but it seems like my brain is registering smells that just aren't there. | F | 35 | 6 months | 2/9/2007 | 3 | post nasal polyp removal | Headaches and nose bleeds - but I was having them before the surgery due to the polyp, so this may not actually have been a side effect. | My ENT consultant (who did the surgery) has told me I should use nasonex permanently to try and prevent the polyps returning. Whilst I don't seem to have any current side effects I'm concerned about the long term use of a steroid. If you have nasal polyps I would recommend the use of douches using water and a little salt everyday to help clear your nose and sinuses. This seems more effective to me than the nasonex. | F | 25 | 2 years | 1/25/2007 | 3 | sinusitis | heart palpitations, tight chest, shortness of breath lying down and at the start of exercise, facail rash (after a couple of months) that is related to steriod spray use. | worked to open sinuses, also decreased infections. but palpatations were unnerving. stopped the drug. | | 1/4/2007 | 3 | allergies | lightheaddedness, dizziness, muscle aches | started taking nasonex, it worked great, but i got a terrible sinus infection and started feeling quite dizzy. | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 1/4/2007 | 3 | Nasal Polyps / Surgery | I am a cross country mountain bike racer. After 3 days using Nasonex I noticed no increase in Nasal openness. I have noticed my leg quads burning and cramping when riding at very high intensity. I will try for a few weeks, if problems persist I will disscontinue use of Nasonex. | M | 37 | 3 days | 12/18/2006 | 3 | chronic sphenoid sinusitis | I have become completely manic!! I am high for 5 or 6 days at a time and then seem to be exhausted on the 7th. Endless energy and cant stop talking! Definate improvement from being exhausted all the time prior to treatment. | Although there has been some improvement to sinus headaches I am finding they are slowly creeping back. If I miss a dose of nasonex I become very quickly congested and sore. Nasonex seems to be working for me as a decongestant rather that a cure/treatment for severe sinus pain. I am however rather enjoying the experience of being manic and will be loathe to give it up after years of lethargy!! | F | 40 | 70 days | 12/13/2006 | 3 | sinus allergies | Extreme headaches and shooting muscle pains in neck and throat area | I tried taking half dosage twice a day, with at least 3 hours between half dosages. It may have decreased the effectiveness on my sinus congestion but the extreme headaches and muscle pains decreased in intensity and eventually became minor. If I returned to full dosage, the headaches and muscle pains came back full strength. I checked with my doctor and he felt this was an acceptable solution. | F | 46 | 1 months | 12/6/2006 | 3 | nasal congestion,post nasal drip | dizzyness, lightheaded, that lead to an early morning trip to the emergancy room for vertigo,,,never want to experience that again....ALL blood tests came back normal....still experiencing light headiness and feel like I am going to go into another whirl,,,had one more slight one since...slight heart palpitations, very occasional...and a slight sore throat,,,now that I have read others are experiencing the same things,,I know it's not all in my head,,, | This medicine helped with my congestion but caused too many side affects...would have been a tragic event if I had experienced the vertigo while driving..couldn't have maintained control of vehicle.I had to have my neighbor take me in,,,it took 4hrs before I was able to leave....I thought for sure it was something other then the Nasonex because the ENT Dr that prescribed it for me,,told me there were no side affects and that it was not absorbed into the body....DUH!!! This drug has cost me a visit to the ENT Specialist and the emergency room !!!All on my own dime since I have no medical coverage... What a shame to be so mislead,,and unfortunely for the public,,,the doctors buy into the hype of the safety of this drug,,,it truly is not so....I will try a hoemeopathic course of treatment...and discontinue use now that I see what it can do.. | F | 52 | 3 weeks | 10/26/2006 | 3 | Excess of Mucus in 2 Upper Pharynx | Fatigue, depression, lightheaded/dizziness | Worked great for about the first year and a half until I began to notice that that my excessive mucus came back. After taking it on and off for the last six months I finally decided to try and taper it off. However I now feel very weak, dizzy, nausea, and tired (fatigue). It has also been difficult for me to fight off bacterial infections. I am not sure that these symptoms are directly related to the absence of the drug, but beware when trying to get off of it (talk to your doctor first, I didn't). | M | 20 | 2 years | 10/23/2006 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Loss of smell. Water retention after approximately 1 month of use. Under normal conditions I have an oily skin and from time to time I suffer from acne. After using Nasonex for more than one month I started to notice my skin becoming much more oily and my acné increased seriously. | I have been using nasonex for several years now and it seems to work. After a few weeks of usage my nose congestions almost dissapear. Mostly I did not use it longer than one month at a time. After approximately one month the side effects I described would become too serious for me to continue usage. After a while my nose problem returns and I am forced back to using Nasonex. | M | 27 | 3 years | 10/4/2006 | 3 | Allergies, serious nasal congestion | I really liked Nasonex until a couple of weeks ago. Right now it is Ragweed season and Nasonex really failed me. I had to start taking Sudafed every 12 hours due to such extreme congestion if I had not done this I would have developed a sinus infection. I've been so congested that without Sudafed I never would have been able to inhale the Nasonex. The tip of the bottle wouldn't even go into my nostril due to all the inflammation. Nasonex costs too much money not to work better! | F | 37 | 6 months | 9/25/2006 | 3 | allergy | After 3 or 4 days sinus discomfort then after about a week pain behind the eyes. It hurt to move my eyes and had a headache most of the time. Heaven forbid should I add a decongestant, thought my head would explode! | F | 39 | 3 months | 8/25/2006 | 3 | allergies, sinusitis | random nose bleeds | Nasonex has been mildly effective in controlling allergy symptoms. It does not completely clear my stuffy nose and post nasal drip but it helps somewhat. After just over a week of using it once each day, I started having nose bleeds for no apparent reason. I stopped taking it and the nose bleeds went away. | F | 48 | 14 days | 8/2/2006 | 3 | Allergies I guess | blood in nasal phlegm..light headed -dizzy..muscle aches in the legs with twitching..asthma..anxiety..tightness in the chest | The product has eased my allergy symptoms but they are still there..this product is great for some people but for me the side effects are disturbing | M | 45 | 3 months | 7/8/2006 | 3 | Allergies | I seem to be losing my sense of smell and taste. | It helps control nasal congestion, but I've experienced nasal bleeding and now seem to be losing my ability to smell and taste. | F | 55 | 6 months | 7/3/2006 |
