| 1 | Rhinitis | Difficulty breathing and swallowing. Numbness throughout body tremors and twitching. Panic and anxiety, scared of possible death | F | 14 | 4 days 2x day | 11/25/2013 | 1 | Sinus pressure | Within the first week I experienced severe vertigo. Felt like I was constantly drunk. I also had itchy ears...to the point they would bleed from all the scratching. Next came severe headache everyday on my left side. Then came blurry vision. Around week 3..4 another side effect came, extreme nausea and panic attacks. I can not relax anymore, my heart is always racing. My hands shake and I develop chest pain. My doctor could not figure out what was wrong with me, had an MRI of my brain. I found this site and realized it was nasonex. I have been off nasonex for about 3 days now. I do not have a headache and slightly less dizzy but all my other side effects remain. I honestly think my vision is permanently damaged. I will be going to eye doctor soon. Feel hopeless and miserable. Not worth it. Should be banned. | F | 23 | 1 months 2xd | 11/17/2013 | 1 | blocked nose | It cleared up my nose but I had extreme rage. I flipped out over the littlest thing | M | 33 | 4 days | 11/4/2013 | 1 | Sinuitis | Caused severe eye problems to include sensitivity to light, burning and visual disturbances. Muscles spasm, weakness and pain down both arms and legs. My hands week and could hardly write my name. | After 2 weeks of discontinued use i am still having the problems with my eyes. I have had to take a medical leave of absence from work because i am now sensitive to the computers lights. Stay away from this stuff! | F | 46 | 5 days 2X day | 11/1/2013 | 1 | Alergy | More frequent random panic attack, anxiety, heart palpitations, Unable to taste the food, Huge headheck, Sore troat. | M | 17 | 2 weeks 50 MG | 10/24/2013 | 1 | ears were clogged | Horrible headaches. Heartburn and extremely thick mucus while taking Nasonex. Now 4 Months later I have had nothing but sinus trouble. Very thick and sticky mucus making my nose hurt and bleed. | F | 32 | 6 weeks | 9/24/2013 | 1 | Allergy | Cannot taste or smell anything the day after I sprayed. Today is second day, I didn't spray. I am scared. So I checked out Internet. Looks like my guess is correct. Nasonex is the cause. | F | 30 | 1 days | 9/20/2013 | 1 | clear sinuses | At third dose, nose started running like a faucet, sneezing came on and lasted, non-stop-for about 12 hours. Nothing would stop it. Headache above the eyes, ears plugged up. At 6 hour mark, shortness of breath, almost went to emerg but waited that out and it passed. | Will never take it again. Cost outweighed benefit. | F | 56 | 2 days 50mcg x 2 1X day | 8/30/2013 | 1 | sinus | 2 weeks ago, while travelling, I ended up in ER with chest pain and palpitations. After 3 hours of tests they cleared me. When I returned home the simptomes got better. Three days ago I found my nasonex spray in my travel bag and started using it again. Since then I feel like I've had too much coffee, have palpitations, shivers and anxiety. It was only as I used it today that I realized it might be the culprit! Still have to suffer through today as I've only taken it two hours ago......but it will go in the bin tonight! I hope the side effects gets better over time! | M | 29 | 14 days 1 spray 1X day | 8/21/2013 | 1 | sinus congestion allergies | Eye pain, ear pain, extreme intense headaches. anxiety, palpitations and tight chest. Metallic burning sensations in lips and mouth. Sore throat. | I have been on Nasonex on and off, mostly in the summer for sinus related issues and allergies for two years. First and foremost, it works and it works fast. However, after a while, I started noting symptoms I was having as I could not figure out what was wrong me. It wasn't until very recently, I had started to use nasonex again and started having palpitations, chest and eye pain and watering. I tracked my headaches - These headaches were intense, almost a burning within my forehead, all day long, every day - starting shortly after using the nasonex. I tracked everything. I started having anxiety where my hands would tremble minutes after I used the nasonex. and my body felt like it wanted to jump out of its skin with anticipatory anxiety.One morning, after using the spray before bed the night before, I awoke early in the morning thinking I was having a heart attack or an aneryism because my head was pounding and my heart racing. I am on day two of not using this product and I am stunned after 48 hours, my headache is gone although ear pain and anxiety/shakiness remain to which I am hoping will eventually dissipate. Anyone with sensitivities to drugs or predisposed with panic/anxiety disorder, be very careful. This product has scared me enough to stop using it and suffer with my sinus issues. | F | 47 | 24 days 2X day | 8/20/2013 | 1 | sinus infection | severe insomnia, anxiety, heart palpatations, nightmares, feeling like I was going to die. | I am so glad that I found this site. I thought I was going crazy! I have been up for 4 days with very little sleep. I thought it was strange because it came about when I started taking the nasonex. I have stopped taking it for two days and am starting to feel better. I wonder when I will be able to sleep again. I would not recommend this medication to anyone. | F | 39 | 4 days 1X day | 7/18/2013 | 1 | allergies | I thought was working well until i started ears pain. Which turned unto Ramsay hunt Syndrome and i now have Bell's palsy due to the inflammation. I believe Naxonex compromised my immune system and gave me a viral outbreak which is similar to the shingles. That's the Ramsay hunt syndrome. I have painful pimple like lumps in my ear and inflammation. Paralysis of the face. It's been awful feeling so sick like this. I was strong and healthy and the only drug I started taking was naxonex before I got this sick. I hate drugs. I just hate them! You take meds to help a condition and they all pose risks of really messing your health up somewhere else. I'm so upset! | F | 31 | 3 weeks Two perday | 7/10/2013 | 1 | Nasal Polyps/Allergies | Extreme headache that lasted all day for several days. I went to the gym to work out in a cardio class and my head was pounding so bad I could barely get through the class. I think it did something to my blood pressure because the headache was so bad it felt like my head was going to explode. My legs also felt swollen and tight. I don't usually get headaches. | It really helped my allergies but I would rather deal with the allergies than the headache. | F | 41 | 7 days 2X day | 7/1/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme anxiety, heart racing, chest beating out of my heart. Depression. | I started using this for a week when I noticed I couldn't sleep anymore. It was causing me extreme anxiety and caused depression. My anxiety attacks and depression was sudden and I couldn't understand the cause. I'm started seeing a psych for the anxiety. Wow. What a revelation. I'm never taking this again (though it did help w/my allergies but not worth the risk). I'll find something else!. BEWARE OF THIS DRUG! | M | 49 | 7 days 30 mg 2X day | 6/19/2013 | 1 | Allergies - sinusitis | Over the last two years, I've used Nasonex sometimes for months at a time. I began to experience unexplained anxiety, chest pain and eye pressure last year. One night, I even went ER for a possible heart attack and they said I was fine. I stopped using Nasonex and symptoms gradually improved over the last six months. Regrettably, however, I kept it in my cabinet and broke it out the other day because it was the start of the hay fever season. I inhaled one dose, and the anxiety and chest pain came back within 24 hours. | I have struggled with allergies and sinusitis for most of my life, but I would take all of it compared to the chest pain, anxiety, adrenal insufficiency, eye pressure, severe nose bleeds and who knows what else I've experienced with this drug. It should be pulled off the shelves and there should be a re-evaluation of corticosteroids in general. It has been an eye-opener to see I'm not the only one who's had issues. Clearly this drug is not worth the risks. | M | 37 | 2 years 1X day | 6/10/2013 | 1 | sinusitis | Nose felt more blocked and stuffy after using spray. After 4 weeks noticed general aches in joints and then sneezing and runny nose continuously and tight feeling in chest and dizziness/vertigo. Stopped using and by day 2 symptoms were easing..Doctor wanted me to use this for 3 months ... will never use steroid nasal sprays again!! | Beware this product isnt for everybody .. | F | 60 | 5 weeks spray 1X day | 6/6/2013 | 1 | Nasal Allergies | This drug basically ruined my life. I took it in conjunction with flovent (another inhaled steroid). The heart palpitations were so intense that it would wake me up in the middle of the night. After 6 weeks of taking nosonex and 3 weeks of taking flovent, my allergist told me to stop both medications cold turkey. Well, this is when I went through some sort of withdrawal. I had such severe anxiety that I was put on xanax. In addition, I would feel depressed for no reason at all, and I have NEVER been depressed in my life. It also felt as though I forgot how to fall asleep. I got about 3-4 hours of sleep each night but I was never tired!. Finally, one day about 3 weeks after stopping nasonex, I felt like a truck smacked me, and I couldn't stay awake no matter what I tried. I slept for 11 hours that night, and when I woke up, I didn't have the anxiety, depression, or insomnia any longer. I am now on my 5th day of finally feeling "normal". I feel horrible for anyone e | M | 27 | 6 weeks 2X day | 6/4/2013 | 1 | sinus headaches | Horrible anxiety; terrible insomnia; chest discomfort; unable to eat; heart palpitations, tremors... | Horrible drug!!! I stopped taking Nasonex 4 days ago and have not been able to eat, sleep or go to work. The anxiety is ruining my life! I just hope I will feel my normal self soon! How long will these side affects last??? | F | 37 | 7 weeks 50 Mg 2X day | 5/25/2013 | 1 | Clogged ear | Dizziness, anxiety, hyper activity, "heart jumping out of chest", sore throat, dry mouth. | NOW I realize that my crazy experience derived from Nasonex! For the past weeks I have been very dizzy, and I still am today, three weeks after quitting. I feel like something is clogged in the back of my head. I was to empty three bottles, during 2-3 months, but I quit after 8 weeks, not noticing any improvement. I thought I was going out of my mind completely! I did not realize that Nasonex was the reason for it, until now. I will see my doctor in a week. I already know that he will simply smile at me, not believing one single word that I say. I hope this tyranny will end soon! | M | 39 | 2 months 2X day | 4/24/2013 | 1 | Nasal allergies | Doc failed to mention that nasal steroid sprays may have identical effects as orally taken steroids like prednisone which is a drug I swore I would never take again unless I was dying, and even then death might be preferable. Extreme anxiety, panic attacks, sore throat, head pain, constant feeling of thick post nasal drip, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, shakiness. The only thing that felt somewhat better was the inflammation inside my nose, everything else felt worse. I finally realized these symptoms were getting close to being identical with the experience I had with prednisone about 7 yrs ago when I was prescribed it to stop my throat from swelling shut when I had mono. I have immediately discontinued use of nasonex. | If you would not take oral steroids or have had negative reactions to them, avoid this product as well!! | F | 28 | 7 days 1X day | 4/17/2013 |
