| 1 | sinus pressure | Ten days into using Nasonex my mouth, tongue & lips started to tingle, go numb & then begin to burn, all within 30 min. of spraying. Over the next 2 hours the burning progressed to all mucous membranes i.e., eyes, sinuses, mouth, eosophagus, stomach, bladder, urethra & burning on urination. All followed by full body itching, head to foot, shaky hands and anxiety. An already present cataract became a lot worse. Mentally, I felt detached and wanted to sleep all day. | I have a history of sinus pressure on the inner ear causing vertigo, particularly when flying. Nasonex was used for about 10 days when symptoms appeared. I am highly sensitive to various drugs so when symptoms appeared, I immediately suspected Nazonex. Stopped using it and, except for the cataract, all symptoms resolved in about 48 hours. | F | 70 | 10 days n/a 2X day | 4/7/2013 | 1 | allergies | Within a couple of hours of spraying 1 spray in each nostril, I started feeling severe flu like symptoms. Chills, fever, nausea. I went to bed at 10pm and suffered with insomnia, when I finally did get to sleep I was having vivid recurring nightmare, like on a constant loop..and a sense of dread, with the thoughts that I was going to die. | I will not be taking this product again. There is something serioiusly wrong with it. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 4/5/2013 | 1 | Enlarged adenoids | My poor daughter suffered from anxiety at school, chest pain, sore throat, no appetite, screaming fits, saying she hates her life and wants her old life back, saying she was going to die, punching her throat and crying non stop as well as waking up in the middle of the night crying. I took her off at day 6 and hope we see our previously happy, fun loving little girl come out of this awful nightmare. I hate nasonex and steroids. She was a classic case of roid rage apparently. Do your research, my mistake was trusting an ENT. | F | 8 | 10 days 2 sp each | 4/3/2013 | 1 | fluid in inner ear | Hypersensitiviies, jittery, irritable, out of sorts, verge of panic attack, ringing ears | I will definitely stop using this medicine after having these weird sensations/feelings the last two days. I will just wait and see if the fluid in the inner ear disappears on its own. This medicine is not right for me. | F | 47 | 2 days 2 sprays 2X day | 3/29/2013 | 1 | clogged sinuses | loss of smell and taste | It has been 8 weeks since I stopped taking the nasonex and I still can not taste or smell | F | 10 days 2X day | 3/28/2013 | 1 | Congested sinuses & clogged ear | My right shoulder started feeling like it couldn't hold up the weight of my arm, my knees swelled up so bad, I couldn't bend them to sit or walk properly, I had to take my rings off because my hands started swelling too. Severe headaches, cold sores on the inside of my lips, I've never had them! Scabs inside my nose, bloody mucus, very sore throat, a stye on my left eye, my joints feel very weak at times, almost fell because my knees gave out on me. I have no idea why anyone has not taken this crap off the market! I've never had side effects like this with medicines before, let alone a nasal spray, this medicine I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually has a lawsuit brought against this company, I'm going to look into it for sure! It's been 8 days, and one of my legs swelling has gone down, shoulder pain comes and goes,headache is very faint. My hands are still swollen, but my joints feel weak, I have to be careful when I walk. I want my life back! | F | 45 | 2 weeks 2 sp X 2 | 3/24/2013 | 1 | Allergies,and asthma | After taking Nasonex, I developed ear pain, clogging, fullness, and decreased ability to hear. This medication burned my throat. Nasonex also caused my sinuses to feel very dry and irritated. I developed a serious ear infection as a result of this medicine. I would not recommend this to anyone. | CAUSED EAR INFECTION/ PAIN/ CLOGGING!!!!!! | F | 37 | 3 days 20mg 1X day | 3/19/2013 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis | Insomnia, dizziness, nausea, extremely dry mouth, anxiety, swollen tongue | Well, if only I had checked online before starting to use this... Within 1 day my tongue was swelling, in 2 days I was waking up in the middle of the night for no reason (same next night) and I felt nauseous, dizzy and anxious. Horrible! Have stopped today, let's hope I feel better soon. I'll take sinusitis any ol' day over this. | F | 31 | 4 days 50mg 2X day | 3/15/2013 | 1 | allergies | throat swelling,difficulty breathing, pink eye, cough, dry nose,stuffy painful sinuses (did not have these symptoms before taking nasonex) | I'll just stick to claritin, thanks but NO THANKS! | F | 40 | 21 days 1X day | 3/7/2013 | 1 | allergic rhinitis, seasonal al | My four year old son became extremely anxious while taking this medication, constantly talked about being afraid of dying, was extremely irritable and would start crying at the drop of a hat. He was afraid to go to bed, crying inconsolably at the end of Dr. Seuss movies....I'm talking really, really emotional. He was never like this before (with the exception of the two separate times we tried Flovent. Our allergist seems really convinced that there can't be a systemic reaction to inhaled steroids, but I really beg to differ. I've watched it happen twice on Flovent and now on Nasonex. I know what my son is like normally and I know what he's like on these medicines and it's truly scary and awful. | M | 4 | 4 weeks 1X day | 2/26/2013 | 1 | Hay fever | My 7 year old son was prescribed Nasonex by an EMT a Month ago. One squirt in each nostril each night. He developed a cough (sounds like a clearing of the throat) which wouldn't go away so I took him to the GP. He was tested for whopping cough which came back negative. Whilst at the dr getting the test results the doctor noticed a certain hand movement that's son kept doing. He sent my kids out of the room and said that he thinks my has behavioral (the cough & hand movement). He told me he would refer us to a Tourette's specialist in a few weeks if it continues. The cough & hand movement both began about a month ago. I went home confused and tried to think of what could be the cause. Then I remembered he started Nasonex not long before both symptoms occurred. So I googled Nasonex side effects & it wasn't listed. So I googled 'can Nasonex cause behavioral tics' and hundreds of results came up. I rang my GP who had never heard if it. He did his own research and said there seems to be a definate link and to stop using it immediately. I rang the ENT who have scheduled my son in for an emergent appointment next week. I'm hoping that when the Nasonex is out of his system the tics will stop. In the meantime, after, the poor kid has nausea & headaches from withdrawals, and it's only from 4 weeks use. Be aware!!! | M | 7 | 1 months 1spray | 2/8/2013 | 1 | Allergy | Anxiety, Panic, Depression, Insomnia, Muscle Pain, Migraine Headache | Nasonex can cause wildespread depression, anxiety and many other problems. I`m still recovered from this stuff 1 month ago. It can cause also Cushing Syndrome. Corticosteroids, are SUCK!!! | M | 33 | 10 days 8 MG 1X day | 1/21/2013 | 1 | SINUS CONGESTION | Nasonex did help my nasal congestion a great deal. Unfortunately, after close to 2 yrs of constant use the pressure in my eyes increased. My eye doctor told me to stop the Nasonex immediately, as that could be the cause. I did & within 2 months my eye pressures normalized. It is not mentioned in the literature that increased eye pressures & cataracts are possible side effects. My eye doctor informed me of this after I also developed a cataract while on it. | For me, the benefits did NOT outweigh the risks. I am sorry I took Nasonex. | F | 52 | 2 years 2X day | 1/19/2013 | 1 | Sinus Problems | I took this for two days and didn't notice any side effects, but it didn't improve my condition, so I stopped taking it. 5 days later I had to go to the docs because my sinus problems clearly developed into an infection. My Doctor gave me antibiotics but told me to continue the Nasonex, so I gave it another try, and shortly after, I developed a headache that was worse than before, funny taste in my mouth, an anxiousness :( I will not take it again! Going to try acupuncture treatment instead!!' | F | 34 | 1 days Free Sampl | 12/13/2012 | 1 | nasal congestion | My 3 year old son took this one time and the next day was off the wall hyper to the point of thinking something was wrong. He wasn't wouldn't listen and tried to hit me. I would not advise this for young children | M | 3 | 1 days 1X day | 11/29/2012 | 1 | allergy | Pressure in the eyes and forehead, itchy and puffy totally dry eyes, tiredness, sleepness, inability to concentrate | I have suffered 1 year from the side-effects of Nasonex. I have undergone a total hell. My symptoms started suddenly after 2 weeks of using Nasonex, twice a day. It took me 4 months to realize that the spray was the cause why I feel so weird. Think I visited all possible doctors to find out the reason, but nodody could diagnose anything. It ended up that my parents took me to a psychiatrist who insisted that I had an endogenious depression. I was put on Cipralex. But I was totally happy individual before that incident! So I continued thorough researching and after 1 year the total understanding of what happened came to me. In short, Nasonex constricts the vessels also the ones of the brain. Narrowing of blood vessels results in glucose deficiency, magnesium deficiency in some cells (not enough glucose is brought to those cells so they can’t perform aerobic respiration in a normal rate). Thats why we feel so awful. First you need vasodilators (I used Crataegi fructus and Ginkgo biloba in high doses). It will widen your vessels and enable minerals to be delivered to the cells again. Then you need to increase magnesium in your nutrition - better to buy magnesium in the pharmacy and drink a daily dose. This is how I recovered from a year nightmare when I thought I was going insane. I dont take anything now and feel great. Get well people! | F | 23 | 4 months 2X day | 11/6/2012 | 1 | Allergies, stuffy nose | Within a few days the allergies were gone, no snotty nose or sneezing. What I thought was a miracle drug actually has caused some pretty horrific side effects. Within a week my son developed a dry cough (spoke to pharmacist & was assured it had nothing to do with nasonex.) This cough hung around for about 3 weeks before the diarrheoa & dizziness begun. Saw the GP who diagnosed mycoplasma & we were given antibiotics. The vomitting started, chest pains, increased dizziness, wheezing. All these symptoms I associated with the mycoplasma. Continued using the nasonex, no improvement seen in my son. A chest X-ray was performed, nil signs of infection (no temperature the whole time) another lot of antibiotics given & he seemed to completely heal... Until yesterday & bang chest pains, difficulty breathing, dry cough, wheezing +++ I am talking about a child who in 9yrs has barely had a cough/cold last for more than a week let alone had a severe wheeze in which ventolin provides only short term relief!. I 100% believe this medication is responsible for what has gone on in the past 5 weeks & to think that doctors & pharmacists were oblivious to these side effects is disgusting... I work in the medical field & I know it's impossible to know every drug back to front, but really isn't it obvious it can do more harm than good. Be aware of the side effects so that if you get any you know exactly why it's happening. | M | 9 | 6 weeks Junior | 11/3/2012 | 1 | ears allergys | Eye problems dizzy cant sleep. Worst drug ive ever taking! Anxiety, ears ringing. | M | 37 | 1 months | 10/26/2012 | 1 | Stuffy nose | My 4.5 yr old son's ENT recommended these for him. We had him take it for two weeks and started noticing a myriad of problems. First, he started blinking incessantly, started to squint/strain when trying to see. We took him to an eye doctor, who said he's near sighted. We didn't know at the time why. Second, his behavior became markedly worse, often over excited/agitated and was getting into trouble in summer camp. To the point where he was kicked out of CAMP!! Third, he started having heart palpatations at night, now he's only 4.5 and cannot describe the symptoms. But he'd wake up in the middle of the night grasping his chest while crying. Took us 2 weeks to find this site and realize all the symptoms are due to the stupid steroid. We immediately stopped using it. But his vision problem did not improve until 1 month later. We only gave this drug to our son because his doctor swore it had "no side-effects". Turns out to be far from the truth. It is EVI | Evil/Terrible medication | M | 4.5 | 14 days 2X day | 10/17/2012 | 1 | Sinus congestion | This is absolutely horrible. I have been having dizziness, nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, for a whole now. Started only using Nasonex at night bc I felt so dizzy and sick during the day, just started reading these reviews bc I can't sleep due to taking nasonex (shocker) I called Walgreens and asked the pharmacist about it and basically he said the meds are not causing anxiety or any of these symptoms WTF... But after reading this I know this is exactly my problem. It really pisses me off that drs, pharmacists, etc are discounting patient symptoms especially when there are this many people suffering from an obviously problematic drug. It may work for some but this is not good for everyone. Nobody wants to feel like they are going crazy. | F | 24 | 10 days 1 x daily | 10/2/2012 |
