| 5 | sinusitis | Lately, I've been plagued by a mysterious persistent burning wood or smoky smell. It causes a tightening or heaviness in the chest and occasional coughing. I'm wondering if these can be side effects. Has anyone else had a similar experience? | The medication cured my sinusitis completely. I expect the pressure in my ears to eventually go away. | F | 49 | 4 months | 3/11/2007 | 5 | Allergies | I came to this site to find if others have experienced a great side effect of Nasonex -- decrease in number of colds. I had eight colds last winter (no nasonex). This summer, my doctor prescribed nasonex and I have been taking it ever since. This winter, I haven't had a single cold. This is like a miracle for me! I haven't caught my boyfriend's colds or my office mates' colds. The only thing different in my life is nasonex. I don't know why this side effect is so opposite than the others' here who think it has weakened their immune system. Also my sense of smell has IMPROVED on Nasonex. I have been feeling a little dizzy at times, not enough to bother me but it is good to know that others feel this too. I did get a couple nose bleeds at first, but this went away. | I try to only take it once a day, instead of twice a day as prescribed. | F | 30 | 280 days | 2/28/2007 | 5 | chronic sinusitis | No side effects. A great product for me; every effective at preventing recurrent sinus infections. | Unlike other prescription nasal sprays, Nasonex does not cause my nose to bleed. | F | 54 | 10 months | 11/28/2006 | 5 | Sinus headaches | No side effects | I had sinus headaches and a feeling of fullness in my head for 2 months. Even with medications, I never went more than a few hours without a headache or a feeling that my head was very heavy.I took allegra,claritin,benadryl and other similar drugs, but they only temporarily helped me. Within just a few hours after taking Nasonex, my headaches went away. It has now been over 3 days (knock on wood) since I have had a sinus headache. | M | 58 | 3 days | 10/26/2006 | 5 | Allergies | None | Nasonex worked when almost nothing else did. Ive tried Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec...none of them worked at all like Nasonex. Best. Prescription. Eva. | M | 24 | 1.5 years | 10/3/2006 | 5 | my son does | my son doesn't seem to have any side effects | My son is almost 5 years old. He started Zrytec and Nasonex when he was 3. His allergies are finally under control. He hasn't had an ear infection in over a year (which could also be because he is just older). He suffered from at least 30 ear-infections and always, always had a runny nose. He had tubes put in his ears twice. You don't even know he has allergies now. The medicine made the difference. He is a totally different kid. | M | 4 | 1.5 years | 8/21/2006 | 5 | Allergies, serious nasal congestion | Minor temporary throat irritation first 2 days. Believe it was blocked congestion that was released. | Absolutely wonderful! I have had congestion more times than not my whole life and no medicine has worked well until now! I almost feel like I don't have allergies. My nose is the best and clearest it has ever been and it is pollen season. I took Flonase for 5 years and it never worked this great. Plus Nasonex is scent free. I just couldn't be happier. | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 4/5/2006 | 5 | Blocked Sinus/Nasal Drip/Itchy Ears | None | Worked Immediately! After years of Sneezing, Runny nose and Sinus congestion it all cleared. Itchy ears went away. Sinus blocked has improved 75% but there is still a slight restriction. Spouse sick with cold for 2weeks and I didn't get it, that in itself is amazing for me. Zero side effects that I am aware of but still I would like to stop it now. Will consult with Doc about alternative to Steroids. | M | 41 | 4 weeks | 2/28/2006 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | None. | I take Nasonex as needed when my allergies are more "active". I take Allegra and that usually covers all the symptoms but sometimes a little more is needed especially when the symptom is nasal drip. I've had no problems with it, and it seems to work. Cost is affordable as well. | F | 31 | 3 years | 2/3/2006 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | My son had been sneezing very badly every morning - with a puff of Nasonex in each nostril the night before the sneezing stopped | M | 3 | 9 months | 1/20/2006 | 5 | constant congestion/sinus headaches | Leaves a bit of a bad taste at back of my mouth if I don't drink or eat anything after. | I had been suffering from year-round sinus congestion and sinus headaches for 2 years. Had previously been prescribed Flonase but that spray did not help at all. I later had a successful septoplasty done but this provided only a slight benefit. After the surgery, my doctor prescribed Nasonex since the surgery hadn't resolved my symptoms. Nasonex worked instantly and has eliminated by headaches and made my congestion 90% better. I finally have my life back again! I was surprised how well it worked considering that Flonase did nothing. | M | 34 | 1 months | 1/17/2006 | 5 | Swimming Migraine | None so far | I get migraines when I swim that are so bad I end up on the side of the pool almost in tears. My doctor and I felt that it was a sinus problem so she put me on Allegra and Nasonex. The first swim after starting the meds, I had only a slight/barely there headache. After that, I have had NONE! | F | 37 | 6 days | 10/18/2005 | 5 | allergies, sinus headaches | None! | Nasonex is great. I have no drowsiness, dry eyes, or irratability as I did with other allergy medications. It works better than Flonase, especially at relieving congestion. I don't have to take anything else now but Nasonex once a day. | F | 32 | 7 days | 4/8/2005 | 5 | allergies/migraines | I have severe allergies for tree/grass pollens, dust and molds. The only symptom was post-nasal drip -- or so I thought. Doctor put me on singular, clarinex and nasonex. Amazingly, my migraines have gone from 2 days/week to 2 days/month. Not sure which med (or if all contributed.) I suspect the inflamation caused by the allergies were triggering migraines. | F | 42 | 2 months | 3/8/2005 | 5 | sinusitis | none | my son has not had a single sinus infections since beginning nasonex-we also have not needed any other allergy meds like we were using before | M | 4 | 5 months | 11/28/2004 | 5 | sinus congestion due to allergies | I find it dries out my sinuses somewhat if I use it continuously (but that is why I use it of course), although it works so well that I don't use it for very long anyway. | The first sinus spray steroid that really has worked for me. Good stuff! I have used Nasonex off and on for the past year or so. I wonder what is in it that makes it work so much better than the others I have tried? | M | 52 | | 11/9/2004 | 5 | sinusitus | none | M | 47 | 3 weeks | 11/5/2004 | 5 | sinusitus | none | great product, finally have relief without living on afrin. Also use in conjunction with allevert d | M | 47 | 3 weeks | 11/5/2004 | 5 | sinusitis | There is a taste/smell associated with this product although I can't say that it is offensive | I'm just getting started on this med but sofar this product has made a huge difference in my life. I wasn't able to sleep through the night prior to starting on it and my nose was blocked for much of the day as well. Now I'm off the claritin and breathing is effortless again. | M | 51 | 3 days | 10/10/2004 | 5 | Allergies | Occational sore throat if the medication trickles down from my nasal cavity | Nasonex has been fantastic. Antihistamines didn't help my allergies. My nose was so blocked that I couldn't breathe while sleeping, constantly interrupting my sleep. Now with only a small dose (1 squirt/nostrile/day) my allergies are totally controlled - I can breathe again. | M | 30 | 2 years | 9/13/2004 |
