 4  nonstop runny nose my daughter had a runny nose that was a full time job. Always wiping it. Was prescribed Nasonex and it has helped a lot. She has always been a horrible sleeper, wakes throughout the night so I took her off Nasonex to see if that was the problem, but she still woke up in the middle of the night. But once I took her off it, the extremely runny nose came back. Put her back on Nasonex. F 2 2 months

 4  seasonal sinus infections Had been working great, then I needed to refill the prescription now my chest hurts, burning. I have read some of the comments and I am now going to stop using it. How long does it usually take for those awful symptoms to go away? F 56 8 months

 4  Mucus draining down back of throat Did't know if related or not. Thirstier than before and lots hungrier. Of course, eating more has led to weight gain that I was already fighting. My migraines have increased somewhat. The Nasonex has decreased the constant drainage down the back of my throat. I was ALWAYS swallowing. It would make me cough, too. Wake me up at night coughing. Now I'm not sure what to do. Keep going or quit! F 62 1 months

 4  nasal allergies Sleeplessness which I solved easily by taking the medication in the morning. You people who think this medication causes 'roid rage are so off-base, it's laughable. You hear steroids and think they're all the same. The kind of steroids that are responsible for 'roid rage are called anabolic steroids. This is a corticosteroid. They are entirely different. Nasonex is a safe drug. It can cause sleeplessness so if it does so, take it in the morning. It works well. The power of suggestion is an incredible thing. F

 4  Seasonal allergies I have had a nose bleed on two occasions, as well as occassional loss of taste and smell. However, I can't directly attribute those to the Nasonex. My doctor prescribed Nasonex, along with Stahist, for my seasonal allergies. Within 24 hours of starting to use it I could breath thru my nose and some of the "gunk" in my sinuses started clearing out. I've been taking it for a month and haven't had any ill side affects like others have described. I can say it's worked better than anything else my doctor has ever prescribed. F 37 1 months

 4  mold and dog fur allergies None I noticed I can breathe easily through my nose! I did NOT get a sinus infection in the Fall! I did have to get used to the contents of my nasal passages draining out down my throat though(yuk) but its better they drain then stay in there. F 46 2 years

 4  Sinusitis, seasonal allergies Nonne, except that I got my life back. I can breathe freely. It's the first medicine that actually saved me money. I cancelled my landscaper's contract as I can now go and cut my own grass. I can enjoy my backyard on those summer days where once I had to stay cooped up in my house. The side effects others are experiencing seem extreme. I used to take Claritan, but it was terrible...dry mouth, wouldn't stop the sneezing, and made me drowsy. Nasonex has no such symptoms. M 36 2 months

 4  Stuffy nose at night Hearing appears to be effected. Some pressure in ears, and sounds are amplified - like in a barrel. Fluid? Concerned about ears. Will stop. Sinus dry. Works well. Wife uses product - no complaints but has lots of headaches. Son uses it - no complaints. Both have severe allergies. I do not. M 59 45 days

 4  Nasal congestion/allergies Minor headaches and sore throat with 2 sprays in each nostril. Reducing to 1 spray in each nostril reduced the side effects and still helped with congestion. After using about 1 year, developed sinus pain under the eye and along the nose. Worked much better than Flonase, Beconase, etc. M 48 1 years

 4  Allergic Rhinitis Irritability, slight weight gain, occasional dry cough, dry/chapped mouth and lips My experience has mostly been great, though I never followed dosage guidelines and instead stuck with a half-dosage from the get-go. I sailed through allergy season with zero problems -- first time in years! Of the symptoms I listed the chapped/raw feeling inside my lips/mouth is the worst, and curiously didn't start until week five... the sensation is similar to what happens to your lips when you've had way too much salt. I've been taking Nasonex for six weeks mostly free of side effects and will be stopping in two -- sooner if the lip/mouth thing doesn't go away. F 42 6 weeks

 4  ear infection and sinus Only a dry nose and possibly nose membranes bleeding a little I feel that this really helped me along with the antibiotic Omnicef. The bacteria settled in my ear and nasonex helped to get to the ear. F 65 7 days

 4  Sinusitus Large cyst on my right kidney. Irritability. Decreased sex drive. It does a great job clearing my sinus. I've developed a large cyst on my right kidney - discovered by accident. Dr. says I'm too young for such a large cyst. It does not appear to be cancer according to CT scan. More testing is needed. But, based on age, I've a 40-50% chance of cancer. Nasonex is the only medication I take. M 49 9 months

 4  Allergies I have taken Rhinocourt for over a year. Worked great! Ins. Co. stopped covering it so I switched to Nasonex, and I have developed a stutter, sore fingers,and a short temper. All of which I have NEVER had a problem with all my life. M 33 3 weeks

 4  dust allergies I think my sense of smell may be becoming weak. Is this something that is experienced by anyone else? I have looked at the listed side effects and "loss of smell" is never mentioned. Am I imagining this? F 22 4 years

 4  Hay fever Slightly blurred vision Seems to work well but I've only taken it for a week. If the vision problem doesn't improve, I may stop taking it. It's also expensive. M 46 1 weeks

 4  Severe Hayfever (allergies) Dryness in my nose and dried blood in my nostrils. Also seem to have increased fluid in my ears. Otherwise, it's excellent and I have finally stopped my constant sneezing and runny nose. Nothing else has worked!! F 35 30 days
