| 4 | Polyps. Had surgery. | I have been using Nasonex for 4 days so far and have no serious complaints. The only thing that has bothered me is my throat hurt for a day but its getting better and I have trouble sleeping *That also is getting better*. | I can't say why I was put on Nasonex {not sure} but I imagine its to help keep the polyps away since I just had surgery to get them removed 3 weeks ago. Along with taking Nasonex I am taking Singulair because of the sneezing I am having {Past year I have developed allergies}. Nasonex so far hasn't done anything bad but what people need to understand when reading comments by other people in relation to a drug is that just because a group of people had one thing happen to them it doesn't mean the same will happen to you. Reaction to drugs just goes by who you are and your tolerance. If your DR told you to take it; then take it. If it botheres you to the point it harms your day to day life then contact your DR and tell them the issue he/she will tell you what step to take next. To many people stop taking a medication given to them by a DR without talking to their DR first. I see it everyday in my pharmacy. | F | 25 | 4 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/6/2010 | 4 | recommended by specialist | I seem to have developed a red nose - similar to being sun-burnt on the end? I stopped using spray for a week to see if the redness would go however, I developed a sinus infection! Started using the spray again and unfortunately, no amount of makeup is covering my red nose... Bit annoyed really as otherwise this product is working for me. Don't particularly like looking like Rudolph! Anyone else suffering this or is it just me? | Immediate relief insofar as I could breath through my nose every morning and didn't wake up with that horrible headache that comes with sinus problems. I was constantly taking pain killers but that has been hugely reduced. | F | 51 | 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 4 | Allergies | "Pimples" in my nose that makes my nose swell up a bit. | If anyone knows anything about that side effect, please email me! | F | 17 | 7 months 50 mcg 2X day | 2/14/2010 | 4 | chronic sinusitis | headaches | i refuse to take it again..i cannot deal with the headache all day | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/18/2010 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | Rapid heart palpatations. Felt like horses galloping in my chest one minute and maybe flutters or "butterflies" the next. Almost a similar feeling to having a spastic twitching nerve you can't control, but only it's your heart. I have never been so aware of my heartbeat. It was scary. I was going to see my doctor in 3 days because I thought I might have a heart condition, but started researching this drug since it's the only thing that's changed in the last month. | I rated it at a 4 b/c it has REALLY helped with my sinuses and allergies. Unfortunately, it's not worth the heart palpatations. | F | 29 | 1 months | 12/5/2009 | 4 | congestion, sinus infections | I've been using Nasonex for about 4-5 years now and it has helped to keep my sinuses clear. However, I just got back from the eye doctor and he informed me that my eye pressure was high - just under the kind of pressure that indicates glaucoma (19-20). Now I'm reading comments from people who have had similar issues. I want to talk with my doctors and figure this out. While Nasonex has definitely helped, I won't continue it if it may harm my eyesight, obviously. | M | 44 | 5 years | 10/30/2009 | 4 | seasonal allergies | Have taken nasonex fall and spring for several years. no side effects. works well for me. | 45 | 3 years | 10/2/2009 | 4 | Alergies | Occasional bleeding nose. | I haven't had a problem with Nasonex but might have a solution for those who have had some minor side effects or are thinking of using it. My doctor was VERY emphatic about not "snorting" Nasonex into my lungs. Some people have said that they had tight chests and sore throats. This might be a very real side effect for some but for others, the medicine should never get that far. Lightly breathing in through your nose while spraying is enough. DON'T spray and snort the stuff into your lungs like asthma medicine. Also, I found that after one bottle, I switched to one spray per nostril--works fine for me and I can finally breath through my nose after years of nasal blockage. | M | 2 years | 7/15/2009 | 4 | sinus and allergy | sore throat, tightness in the throat when swallowing, dryness in the throat | i only take nasonex when there is need, not on a daily basis | F | 50 | 12 months | 7/2/2009 | 4 | Seasonal sinusitis | Slight bloody taste in back of throat right after spraying it. | Has really helped both me and my 7 year old daughter with no noticeable side effects. For a while, my daughter had a decreased appetite, but it eventually rebounded and may have been coincidental to the use of Nasonex. | M | 41 | 1 months | 5/25/2009 | 4 | Allergies - Hay Fever - Pollen | None that I know of. | I've had lifelong allergies, especially hay fever with grasses, pollen etc, several times each year. I work outdoors nearly every day and love outdoor recreation. Nasonex has been the only medication to work for me, and my allergies are mostly gone. I've been using it for three years now. I can work and play outside and breathe clearly- without sneezing, itchy eyes or sinus problems. Here's the deal: I don't use this every day- I use it when my allergies first begin in early spring, about once per day for a week or two, and then stop. My allergies are then gone for weeks or more at a time. If they return, I repeat the process. It's expensive, but one bottle will last me the entire season or even a year based on my usage. By the way- I'm somewhat of a health nut and abhor medications of all kinds. I take vitamins and eat pretty well, and don't see doctors very often at all. I wouldn't take this unless it really worked- and if I experienced any side effects I would quit immeidat | M | 48 | 3 years | 3/13/2009 | 4 | sinus congestion | Each year, I use Nasonex in the winter for chronic sinus headaches (prob. caused by deviated septum). It works really well -- and I've tried everything -- but by March I have to stop use because of daily nosebleeds. I also seem to get minor acne with use. | F | 44 | 3 years | 3/1/2009 | 4 | Ear and sinus infection | I was tired, did not sleep well, would get palpitations that lasted for a few minutes, and had a sense of unease. It did however, help clear up the blockage. I also felt very hot, particularly in my chest and arms. | I have very mixed feelings. It certainly helped to clear me up, but the side effects were very noticeable, and I did not feel at all like myself. I was using 2x a day for two weeks, and I discontinued use of my own accord, as I found the side effects most disturbing. I found that I felt like I was just totally out of sorts, and had great sense of being uneasy and somewhat nervous. I had great difficulty sleeping more than an hour or two at a time. This is very out of character for me, as I am usually a confident person, who is not nervous. The circular that came with it did not say a word about these possible effects, nor did my physician. Having read the other postings, there is something going on with Nasonex that needs to be studied and documented much more. | M | 53 | 2 weeks | 2/12/2009 | 4 | Frequent sinus infections | None | I used to get sinus infections once every 6 weeks, needing antibiotics and losing out on several days of work (and pay). After I started taking Nasonex 1 1/2 year ago, this problem has completely disappeared and I experience no side effects. Only worried about using ANY medicine for prolonged periods of time though different ENT doctors have told me it's no problem with Nasonex. | F | 44 | 18 months | 1/9/2009 | 4 | Ear Infection | Frequent nosebleeds. | My doc prescribed this to help an ear infection, and it definitely dried up my runny nose within a couple days. However, prolonged use led to frequent nose bleeds out of the right side of my nose (never the left) nearly every day. | M | 34 | 6 weeks | 1/5/2009 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Loss of smell. | This med has helped me in the past. I asked for and was just prescribed it again today. It had been 3 1/2 years since I used it. This time the doc seemed quite concerned and made every effort to make me understand it is a steriod with side effects. She suggested I research it on the internet. And here I am. What an eye opener! It wasn't until reading the comments that I was alerted to the possible cause of losing my sense of smell a few years ago. At first I had a constant smell of, what I can only describe, as a wet ashtray. Didn't matter where I was, the smell was there. I couldn't get rid of it. I don't smoke nor did anyone in my home. After that went away, I had no sense of smell or taste at all. It got embarrassing at times as I would be asked to smell this or that followed quickly by the response of, "Oh, that's right, you can't smell." I couldn't! It took over 3 years before I got my sense of smell and taste back. I would like to hear from anyone that experienced the s | F | 53 | 3 months | 12/18/2008 | 4 | Allergies | none | I think this stuff works best with just sporadic use. I had most of my allergies symptoms disappear after the second day, so i stopped taking it. My allergies symptoms didn't reappear for about a month, so I took one more hit and that bought me another month of relief. I suspect that the daily use recommendation is overkill that results in bad side effects, and is probably just to sell more medication. | M | 90 days | 12/9/2008 | 4 | yes | 36 | 2 days | 10/8/2008 | 4 | nasal allegies and night coughing | none | didn't see any side effects like others have mentioned | M | 6 | 3 months | 6/26/2008 | 4 | rhinitis | none | worked quite well for a while..developed a resistance to it though. | F | 25 | 3 years | 4/29/2008 |
