| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Allergies + Snoring | Complete and utter satisfaction. | I have used Nasonex for 3 years usually every night, sometime every other night with no side effects or problems. I started to really get worried reading all the horror stories some people are having on here. WOW, you need to seek medical attention!!! | M | 45 | 3 years | 10/23/2009 | 5 | Allergies | A mild but persistent dry cough. I think this is caused by inhaling the spray so I am trying to avoid that now. | Nasonex has dramatically improved the quality of my life. It has completely cured my allergies with only mild side-effects. | M | 68 | 4 months | 9/7/2009 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis | None at all! However, after using it for several months, I've developed a tolerance to it, it's not working anymore... | This was the only allergy medication that worked for me, without making me drowsy | M | 24 | 6 months | 9/1/2009 | 5 | mild allergies (esp. seasonal) | The only side effect was that I no longer had a yearly sinus infection. | After almost two years, no side effects, except that it wiped out my yearly sinus infections! Very effective, and it does not go throughout the body, such as Claritin-D does. I'm happy with Nasonex, but will keep an eye out for the many side effects others on this website have experience. | F | 58 | 2 years | 7/25/2009 | 5 | Severe allergies | None | For most of my life I've had terrible allergies at all times of the year, so bad I couldn't breathe. The symptoms would last for weeks and sometimes months and then turn into bronchitis. I've even been hospitalized for it. Since I've taken nasonex for several years now, I have had no (zero) such occurances. It's the best thing that ever happened to me--completely changed my life. I feel healthy. I'm not sure why it would cause all these bad side effects others describe. | F | 60 | 3 years | 7/23/2009 | 5 | allergies | none.. just bad taste? | is the best. MUCH BETTER than antihistamines. works amazing. | F | 29 | 3 years | 7/20/2009 | 5 | sinus congestion headaches | I have had low blood pressure all of my life; until I have been on nasonex. Now my blood pressure is in the danger zone! 154/104. A nurse friend of mine realized the connection to nasonex for me. I am stopping it immediately and calling the doctors in the morning. | F | 46 | 8 months | 7/1/2009 | 5 | General Pollen Allergies | Barely any if at all. | Personally i'm pretty sensitive to allergy medication. I've gotten depressed off of both zyrtec and claritin so i'm pretty weary about new stuff. I take nasonex on a must-need basis and have had about a 95% success rating with it helping my allergies for at least 2 hours. Afterwards I still feel better as long as I don't mess with my face too much and wash my hands regularly. Usually It works for 4-8 hours per single squirt (each nostril) under decent conditions. The only time it is less effective is when i'm surrounded by pollen (like my sister's porch....) I can't say anything about effects of prolonged usage simply because this stuff aint cheap when you don't have insurance and I'm also paranoid now since i've had so many issues. | M | 23 | 2 years | 6/10/2009 | 5 | Allergies | None | My son took this medication for a while and had no side effects whatsoever. Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it. | F | 33 | 1 years | 5/27/2009 | 5 | Rhinitis | Occassional bloody nose, some increase in frequency of sinus infections | Worked great. I had a perpetual stuffed nose and sinus headaches, Nasonex cleared these problems right up. The CNS comments here surpise me, I am pretty sensitive to many medicines and experienced no such issues whatsoever. I am only discontinuing it because our medical insurance wants us to switch to a cheaper medicine (generic Flonase). I hope the generic works as well as Nasonex did for me. | F | 51 | 3 years | 5/24/2009 | 5 | allergies | no side effects (other than a brief sore throat-like effect right after the spray that lasts only a few minutes) | It really helps with my allergies, and the best benefit: no sleepiness like with most antihistamines (yes, even "non-drowsy" antihistamines make me sleepy). | F | 43 | 1 years | 5/23/2009 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | Dry throat now and then. | Nasonex has allowed me to breath normally for two years straight with no serious side effects. Taking this drug is not ideal but I can't imagine how I used to manage without it. I have since dropped my box of kleenex per day habit and love the fact that I am no longer dealing with a stuffed up nose every single day. | M | 2 years | 5/19/2009 | 5 | allergy, sinusitis | I have been taking this for years. Have never had a side effect. Sinus problems are gone. | M | 68 | 5 years | 4/29/2009 | 5 | sinusitus | mood swings but my sinusitus has completly dissapeared | by the way for all those who say this medication does not list all the side effects you guys are talking about it actually does read the article that comes with the bottle it clearly states that hypercorticism may occur | M | 19 | 6 months | 4/14/2009 | 5 | horrible Oak Tree pollen allergies | NONE except feel 100% better! A true life saver.... | F | 75 | 7 days | 4/12/2009 | 5 | allergies/sinus | I have been taking this for 9 days, and it works really well.I am taking so many new meds it would be hard to say if this is the one causing the weird heart stuff or dore trhoat.It is working | F | 40 | 9 days | 3/26/2009 | 5 | Inner ear blockage and dizziness | I did not experience any side effects aside from a little bit of coughing and sneezing. | I started taking nasonex because I was dizzy on a daily basis from inner ear blockage. No other medicine including allergy medicine and decongestant worked and both of those caused side effects. Nasonex worked great and I felt better by the second day. I would highly recommend to anyone suffering from severe allergies. | F | 18 | 5 days | 3/7/2009 | 5 | asthma and serve allergies and sinu | no side effects experienced | My son started taking this when he was 7 and he is now 11. Without this medication he gets sinus infections and has to be pput on tons of antibotics. This also interfers with his asthma. I have never experienced agression or other issues do to this medication and I do not know what we would do without. | M | 11 | 5 years | 3/3/2009 | 5 | Severe sinus congestion | None, so far - maybe an itch in throat/need to cough now and again? | After reading these comments, I was apprehensive and fearful about trying any type of nasal spray (complaints of anxiety?? I have anxiety disorder already!) However, I also had sinus congestion for 3 months and in between that, a sinus infection. The congestion appeared to be worsening and I was desperate to try anything. I finally went to the ENT. Within a few days of using Nasonex, I was able to feel like a normal person again! I do still have a bit of sneezing/blowing but I'm also not sure what is caused this problem in the first place. All I know is that Nasonex is really helping at the moment. Only wish I had went to get it sooner. I know the people who are satisfied with a drug often don't bother leaving a review, which is why I wanted to leave a positive review. Don't necessarily be afraid to try this spay if you need it! | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 2/27/2009 | 5 | WARNING!!!! This is the first and only drug that cured my severe allergies - HOWEVER! For years I ignored the side effects this drug was causing me! It does in fact cause irritability, vision trouble, boils, left eye pain and pressure, light sensitivity, extreme dizziness, viral infection, headaches, loss of sex drive, bloating, heart palpitations, and sleeping problems (once you fall asleep you wake up suddenly 45 mins., after falling asleep with major heart palpitations and confusion and then you have trouble going back to bed!) Also, since it's a steroid it also causes facial hair to grow faster (not a big hit if you are a woman). | I am sad and at a loss b/c it does indeed stop allergies but at what cost? I am not going to continue using this drug b/c of these side effects that have taken me to multiple doctor visits and the ER on a few occasions b/c with the severe heart palpitations, dizziness and vision problems I was not sure what was happening to me, I now however know. I have stopped taking Nasonex and now the symptoms are gone!!! | F | 28 | 4 years | 2/4/2009 |
