| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Dust mites, grasses, trees, etc. | None | I had some of the worst allergy symptoms prior to using Nasonex. Since using Nasonex, I rarely if ever get any inflamation. I think my many years of use have caused a more accute sense of smell, such that I smell the slightest oder, fragrence, or smell long before anyone else notices them. | M | 48 | 5 years | 1/18/2009 | 5 | Allergies | None | Been on it for indoor allergies, 200mcg twice a day, which is relatively high, have not had any side effects. This stuff is great, way better than anti-histamines. Steroid nasal spray are the gold standard for allergic rhinitis, and now I know why. I think that while this site can be helpful, people should also read about the clinical trials for nasonex to get a better idea of side effects. I read some comments implicating nasonex to psychiatric side effects, which I found strange, since it wasn't observed in any of the clinical trials that I've read and also doesn't make much sense because nasonex is a local application of a cortical steroid, and thus shouldn't have any systemic effects. In general, I feel like some people are blaming other problems that are unrelated on the drug they are taking, but that's just my opinion. | M | 23 | 30 days | 1/4/2009 | 5 | | 12/30/2008 | 5 | Lifelong allergy to cats | None, in spite of using Nasonex every day for about as long as it has been in existence (10 years? 15?). I have occasional nosebleeds - and by "occasional" I mean maybe 5 a year, so they may not even be related to Nasonex usage. | It's a Godsend. We can have cats thanks to Nasonex; without that, I'd be asthmatic and allergic. | M | 53 | 10 years | 12/6/2008 | 5 | Hayfever | None at all! | Have tried many different prescribed nasal sprays for hayfever but this is the only one that works for me. | F | 42 | 4 months | 11/28/2008 | 5 | Sinus infections | No side effects whatsoever | Thanks to Nasonex, I can now lead a normal life without frequent sinus migraines. Previously I have had to sleep and work in an air conditioned room for 9 months of the year (not winter months). It almost seemed as if I had a fungus, caused by humidity and mould, growing throughout my nasal passages. I live in central Brisbane in old stuffy Qlder house, but will soon move to Gold Coast fresh sea breezes. Hopefully that will help my condition. Hope this has been helpful to someone. | F | 56 | 9 months | 11/9/2008 | 5 | Year long allergies | None | I have tried many allergy medication for enviornmental allergies. examples: Singular, claritin, zyrtec plus some and this is the only one that has made me feel human again. I have not had a sinus infection since!! | F | 25 | 1 years | 10/30/2008 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitus | Mild side effects - mild burning in the nose, some lose of smell | I've had Allergic Rhinitis my whole life (37+) which included post-nasal drip, nose, ear and chest congestion, recurrent sinus and respiratory infections (4+ times a year). This drug has been GREAT. I've been taking this for four months now (one puff in each nostril 1x a day). Eliminated these problems almost completely (knock on wood). I've noticed I've had some loss of sense of smell but nothing i can't live with. Not a bad tradeoff. Would recommend this to anyone with these issues. | M | 37 | 4 months | 10/16/2008 | 5 | Heyfever | Nil | Have suffered severe allergy to grass since an early an early age, Nasonex has been the only drug to give me sinificant relief from blocked nose, sinus headache, conjuctavitus, fantastic!!!! | M | 41 | 6 months | 10/14/2008 | 5 | sinuses | nothing that I noticed | I can actually breathe through my nose for the first time in 12 years! My Dr. gave me samples and when I use it every day like I am suposed to I feel better than I have in such a long time. No other allergy product ever works for me, so I am very pleased. | F | 27 | 4 months | 10/9/2008 | 5 | Very bad allergies | I so seem to feel more hungry and have put on about 7 lbs since taking nasonex. I have had a few more cramps around my cycle time but I did suffer bad PMT anyway. | Nasonex has really worked for me. I started having problems after I suffered a miscarriage last year and my allergies went a bit crazy. I now have a very high allery to my cat, dust mites and my general allery reading was 20 times higher than it should be. The doctor said he had never seen such high allery results. I was getting severe headaches, eyes were swelling up and terrible earache, but nasonex has made me feel so much better. I was a bit worried when I read all the comments on this site but I must be one of the lucky ones. | F | 34 | 5 months | 9/13/2008 | 5 | year round allergies | NONE | I am loving this stuff. I used to take Allegra-D twice daily and hit a wall this spring when Allegra stopped working for me. I developed horrible sinusitis which I thought would kill me...I have sleep apnea and asthma so I really need to breathe at night. Dr. put me on Nasonex which cleared up the allergies immediatley. I have decreased my 2x daily dose to once a day and feel amazing!! I have finally become a nose breather at night and so even my apnea is a bit better. Love this stuff. | F | 45 | 2 months | 6/12/2008 | 5 | allergies and snoring | None | I have had dust allergies for years and take claritin for them. However, antihistamines also can cause snoring and since I take in the morning it often wears off at night. So, I started to use the nasonex before bed and it works great. I sleep great with less snoring and I don't wake up with a stuffy nose anymore! | F | 33 | 1 months | 6/5/2008 | 5 | allergies to tree pollen | None | This is the first time in 30 years I have not suffered through 6 weeks spring tree pollen. I love this stuff. I will use it again next spring | M | 51 | 45 days | 4/24/2008 | 5 | congestion and constant runny nose | Just minor nosebleeds | I love Nasonex! I used to take Zyrtec-D twice a day. I am allergic to everything, including my 2 dogs. My airways are totally clear and my nose doesn't run at all now. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/31/2008 | 5 | allergies runny nose & eyes, | No side effects. It totally takes care of my allergies. I also take Zyrtec. I am allergy-free. All the comments about eating, sleeping, jittery, heart palps, etc. Oi vey! For goodness sakes - if I eat more, it's because I'm hungry. If I'm not hungry - then I guess I am not hungry! If I feel jittery, it's because I am nervous. If I can't sleep, then I have...duh - insomnia. Don't buy into the hype, people. If it fixes what ails you, then good. Nasonex is a drug and is not a natural cure-all. Take it with caution and don't get paranoid about every little symptom. Whatever you're feeling could be just that and not necessarily caused by the drug. Thinking you have a rapid heartbeat causes a rapid heartbeat. Try it. The power of suggestion is very strong. | F | 57 | 4 years | 3/20/2008 | 5 | allergy-seasonal | I have had no side effects except weight gain. I don't know if it is related or not. I cut out a bunch of food to see if I was just eating too much, but I haven't lost any, I gained about 3 lbs in 2 weeks. I take one squirt in each nostril instead of the 2 they suggested. | This is the only medicine that has helped my allergies especially itchy eyes. I was also given Zyrtec and Singular, but I haven't had to take those as the nasonex worked so good. I have tried all the other brands, allegra, flonase, benydril, tavist etc. Nasonex by far has given me the best relief with a lot less reaction. | F | 48 | 2 days | 2/21/2008 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | None | Prescribed after sinus surgery. Works great. | F | 48 | 1 years | 2/17/2008 | 5 | Seasonal allergies - hayfever | Absolutely none! | Nasonex works better than anything I have ever tried. Just stops the sneezing, itchy watery eyes and general fatigue with allergies. I only have to take it in the spring. | F | 48 | 60 days | 2/14/2008 | 5 | swollen turbinates; mucus blocked | Upon each application, a few moments of watery drainage from sinus into throat, but that is the medicine itself. Otherwise, no side effects whatsoever other than the intended result: The swelling of the turbinates decreases drastically over extended time-period usage. This lessening of swelling permits partially dried, partially moist mucus to pass out the nose from the sinus cavities. Prior to one squirt of Nasonex into each nostril every day, mucus was building up in the sinus cavities. This was causing infections and bacterial growth. This was causing further swelling of the turbinates, which further blocked mucus evacuation. Previously a vicious cycle, but with Nasonex, the problem is completely solved without any unintended side effect. | Dec2004:had a severe nose bleed, deep within my sinuses. Huge blood clot never fully evacuated. Oct2005:could hardly breathe through my nose due to being 100% swollen shut in one nostril and majority swollen shut in the other nostril, alternating throughout the day. Rhinologist advised surgery to remove inflatable soft tissue on my turbinates, leaving only bare bone: stretch my nostrils; stick knives up my nostrils to cut & scrape away the inflatable soft tissue. CT scan showed the risks of not treating this immediately: major infection deep in the sinuses could cross-over into the ear canal or brain cavity. I learned about how the balloon-like turbinates act as a pair in opposition, first the left side inflates while the right side deflates then the right side inflates while the left side deflates, every several hours. By my own careful timing of Nasonex misting into each nostril when nostril passes some air. I got the medicine in there up high. Once every few hours, mon | M | 40 | 2 years | 1/20/2008 |
