| 1 | Post nasal drip and blocked nose | It has been 30 days since I stopped taking this drug. Today is the first day that my dizzy, head rush feelings have gone away, almost completely. My ENT told me to do to sprays in each nostril twice a day for two weeks. My vision has felt very strange and almost like I have vertigo. I have always been an extremely balanced person who has not suffered from dizziness. I too have been very scared that the feelings would not go away as it has been more than a month since I stopped taking it. I also have never had a bad reaction to anything that has been prescribed to me I do not suffer from any allergies and am an extremely healthy person aside from this postnasal drip which has been really annoying me for the last couple of years hence my visit to the ENT. It's impossible to say for sure if this drug is the cause of these feelings how ever so many people have described similar feelings I have had heart palpitations nervousness anxiety dizziness which are all new to me and today I definitely feel better and I hope that gives the other people still experiencing problems that you will get better. I do still have a strange feeling when I move my head and in my eyes but it's much better than it was. It absolutely shocks me that this drug is also prescribed to children and young adults and I hope that they do not have these issues as it can be debilitating and young people may receive diagnosis on their anxiety as is being connected behavioural problems. I do wish that thes | F | 35 | 1 months 4 sprays | 10/15/2014 | 1 | nasal congestion | Total loss of taste and smell and severe digestion problems | I only used Nasonex off and on over a few weeks time and then threw it away. Now it's been a month and a half since I stopped using Nasonex and I still can't smell or taste at all and still have severe stomach pain and indigestion with anything and everything I eat. Miserable and scared these problems may be permenant | F | 67 | 3 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 10/7/2014 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I have had one other panic attack in my life and one after taking this for a month. It came from nowhere and the after effects lasted for a week. I also felt like my skin was crawling but only now found out this can happen from this drug. I also felt lacking energy and feeling isolated. I stopped taking and since feel normal again. This should be banned. I'm not saying in necessarily causes panic attacks however it seems to be a trigger for one. | F | 35 | 1 months 2 sprays | 10/6/2014 | 1 | seasonal rhinitus | severe anxiety , jitters , unreality , on edge | i do suffer from anxiety disorder , a couple of years ago i was prescribed this for hayfever,one evening after taking this for a few days i came over all weird , anxious ,like something bad was going to happen things seemed really bright, i was trembly and jittery - at the time i put it down to a multivit with guarana in it , but as a precaution stopped taking nasonex and a high dose vit b supplement , i did some research and found both b vitamin in high dose and guarana are stimulants and thought that was that -- last week was prescribed nasonex again (having forgot what happened when i had taken it a couple of years ago ) took first doe on the evening and within an hour was uptight and on edge , had rubbish sleep , took one spray in each nostril yesterday 4/sept 14 and an hour later was really on edge and anxious , felt trembly and tearfull , , i do have anxiety but its never as bad as this -- i then recalled feeling the same a couple of years ago and searched google and found this site . i wont use it again and would recommend caution , even without anxiety disorder this sems a trigger for it. | M | 47 | 2 days as label 1X day | 9/5/2014 | 1 | For Nose Inflamation | Started to have SEVERE anxiety, tightness in chest. The sides of my face around the ear are completely numb and I feel tingling and numbness in my arms and legs. | I was given Nasonex along with an ear drop medication for a possible ear infection and earache from TMJ flare up. After taking both drugs for a week just today I started to have SEVERE anxiety as if I felt like I was going to die. My face around the ears are completely numb, you could poke them with a needle and I would not feel anything. The rest of my body hands and legs also have this tingling/ pins and need sensation. I went to see the doctor and he prescribe me some anti depressant and anti anxiety medication and took me off the drugs. The side effects are scary and I hope the numbness and tingling sensation for my arms and legs and face fades away as I withdraw from the drug. | M | 25 | 1 weeks 2X day | 8/27/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Nose bleeds, nasal blockages, migraines, extreme anxiety, racing thoughts, rapid pulse, high blood pressure, eye sensations, panic attacks, weight gain, sebhorreic dermatitis, stretch marks. Everyone told me it wasn't the nasonex. Everyone said it was all in my head. Finally I trusted my intuition and weened myself off. I experienced a 2 week withdrawal. After getting off the rash went away, the bloody nose stopped and I lost a whopping 60 pounds in 1 month!! This drug is the devil. Today my allergy issues are worse and I have panic disorder because of this medication. Please stay away. OTC meds are much safer | M | 23 | 1 years | 7/19/2014 | 1 | Post nasal drip | Visual impairment after first dose. Loss of 90% of visual field lasting over 2 hours after second dose | I immediately discontinued treatment once I made the link. It was a terrifying experience | F | 65 | 2 days 50 mcg 1X day | 7/11/2014 | 1 | Post nasal drip, allergic rhinitis | Dizziness, severe anxiety, arrhythmias, eye pain and change in vision, extreme fatigue, bouts of very loose stools and abdominal cramps followed by a day or two of frequent urination, impaired ability to concentrate, dry mouth, throat and sinuses, bleeding nose, persistent left ear infection, left sided throat pain, occassional difficulty breathing, insomnia and muscle and joint pain, headaches, nausea, aggrivated GERD, photosensitivity. | F | 52 | 3 years 50ug | 6/22/2014 | 1 | Blocked sinus | Eyesight problems, breathing problems, right side body paralysis, mouth ulcers and tongue swelling, severe headaches, very painful swelling of stomach area and limbs, blindness of right eye, distention and severe swelling of lower abdomen and limbs, painful joints and bone use, loss of taste and smell actions and skin distubances...to include dryness, peeling, loss of feeling and becoming thin and transparent. | F | 53 | 5 days 140x18gms | 5/29/2014 | 1 | seasonal allergies | heart palpitations, full blown anxiety disorder, nasal sores that wouldn't heal, weight gain (35 lbs over time), THINNING OF BONES to the point of osteopenia, GLAUCOMA | I used to be a size 8/10 before being prescribed this junk. It worked for my allergies, but it caused 10 years of nonsense. Who knew? Drs would tell me it didn't cause any side effects because it" wasn't absorbed into the blood stream." Seasonally I would outgrow all my clothes and feel like a cow, and after stopping Nasonex Iwould start to slim down again. Then another allergy flare-up would occur and I would start the Nasonex again, and this yo-yoing has been going on for 10 years now. I trusted drs too much. One day it finally occurred to me that this stuff happened seasonally. Sorry, just slow to realize it. Don't use this stuff!!!! It has taken a month to drop a dress size, and will probably take a few more months to drop the rest of the weight and bloat. Nose sores are healing, and bloody nose is going away. I'm using Nasalcrom, with great results. Dr's didn't know why my bones were thinning and why I should be developing glaucoma at my age. One day it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Shortly after starting this med, I had full blown anxiety syndrome for which I had to seek treatment. Never made the connection until very recently. Keep having thinning of the bones reports. Never made the connection until now. Eye spasms in one eye. Since stopping Nasonex, I was really tired at first and had alot of joint pain. Now that is going away, and I am taking Rx grade vitamins and Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Feeling and looking better. I'm sad for all the lost years to th | F | 55 | 10 years 2x/ea side 2X day | 5/13/2014 | 1 | environmental allergies | Chronic right-sided throat pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, bloody nose - at least once a week blood would pour out and not stop for a good 5 minutes | It worked to relieve my chronic sinus congestion, but just now figured out the Nasonex was causing the right-sided throat pain. After many scans and tests by ENTs, who didn't find anything wrong, I decided to discontinue the Nasonex and see if that made a difference. A week later, the throat pain is much better. I also hadn't attributed the Nasonex to the sleeplessness, but since discontinuing it I am sleeping better, not waking up as much, and feel more rested in the morning. Now my sinuses are congested again, blood every time I blow my nose, and a little bit of sinus pain. Am hoping it gets better with sinus rinses. I also get immunotherapy injections once a week, so eventually that will help my chronic allergies. | F | 45 | 3 years 50 mcg 2X day | 5/5/2014 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Depression, tiredness. | I could not understand why I suddenly was so down. My mother in law, who is a nurse, suggested it could be the medicine. I stopped taking it, the next day I felt completely normal. | M | 50 | 10 days 50 mg 2X day | 4/26/2014 | 1 | Rhinitis | Cataracts in both eyes linked to steroids also having sight in right eye investigated as eyesight deteriorated quite quickly. Thyroid problems, feeling of having something stuck in throat a d occasional sore throat which I suspect is linked to using Nasonex over long term period | F | 65 | 6 years 2sprays | 4/20/2014 | 1 | Fluid in Ear | Severe aniexty, dizzy, heart palpitations and could not sleep!!! | 40 | 7 days | 4/9/2014 | 1 | stuffed sinus | After I sprayed Nasonex, I lost my smell completely. It's been 2 weeks already. I am freaking out totally. | F | 42 | 1 times 2 sprays | 3/19/2014 | 1 | Pain & fullness in one side of face | 24hrs after using nasonex for first time I had severe pain in several leg veins which also bulged up black/purple which were very painful. Days later eye blood vessel burst for no reason & eye was red for weeks then purple bruise appeared on earlobe all by itself..... Headaches too . It took me a while to link vascular issues to nasonex and haven't used it since. It's in the bin where it belongs. | How can a drug company sell a product that can affect the vascular system adversely? | F | 42 | 1 weeks 2X day | 2/14/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Veramyst- ( same drug) Heart arrhythmia , chest pain, insomnia I also teach cardio- experienced severe heart palpitations during class in addition to night time palpitations | F | 53 | 10 days 30 mg | 1/18/2014 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | None at first, then suffered severe vertigo to the point that it was making me vomit. Still suffering with vertigo which my doctor prescribed anti-sickness tablets. Loss of taste and smell which occurred almost immediately and is still ongoing. Developed cough with excess vile mucus. Have also developed intermittent vision problems were everything looks hazy. Unable to sleep, which probably explains the tiredness. Weakness. | It is only after finding this site and reading about Nasonex that I have decided I will not be taking it anymore. I have had chronic sinusitis for nearly 3 months for which I have had 3 lots of antibiotics. On my last visit, my doctor discovered that I had a nasal polyp and prescribed Nasonex, which I have been using for a month, together with more antibiotics. Due to the severe bout of vertigo I experienced last week, he prescribed anti-sickness tablets. On reading peoples reviews, I will not be taking this product again. I only hope my vertigo, loss of smell and taste will return, as will a goods night sleep. Even though I cannot smell food cooking etc., I keep getting this constant horrible musty smell. I would give anything to be able to taste and smell food again. Hope this helps. | F | 56 | 4 weeks 2X day | 1/3/2014 | 1 | Allergies | Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Swollen Throat, Painful Throat, Shortness of Breath, Mood Swings, Depression | Terrible....terrible....drug. I am so glad I figured out what was causing my panic attacks. It took the flu and not taking it for a couple of days for me to realize what was causing every single health problem that I was experiencing. I had previously taken another corticosteroid nasal spray for years and have had depression for years. I will NEVER take these again. They are trash to me. | F | 55 | 3 months 2X day | 12/29/2013 | 1 | Post Nasal Drip | Dose: 2x 50mcg sprays per nostril, twice a day. For Post Nasal Drip after upper respiratory infection. Had a sore throat to begin with, which was even worse after taking the second dose of this med. Depression / anxiety. Couldn`t sleep. Conjunctivitis after the second daily dose (Which I had only just recovered from having completed a course of anti-biotics, and had cleared completely). A day later and all the symptoms are dissappearing. | Cannot believe how quickly these symptoms arose...After only 2 doses. I guees that is fortunate, as I was going to continue with the drug today, until I found this site. Will never use this again. | M | 64 | 1 days 50mcg 2X day | 12/14/2013 |
