| 5 | Alergies | none | I am 35 years old and have severely suffered from Seasonal Allergies which start in February and continue till August. Last year I was prescribed Nasonex for the first time and omg...what a difference. I read many bad reviews on this site so i thought i would give a positive one. Everyone is different and it's worked well for me. Maybe the difference being is I have extreme enviromental allergies and any improvment noted is better then what I was going though in the past. | 1 years 2X day | 4/14/2012 | 3 | Nasal congestion every day | Intense heart palpitations, weakness, dizziness, headrush and spotted vision when standing, feeling of inadequate O2, smell/taste loss, bloating, menstrual-like cramps while exercising and extreme menstrual cramps, irritability, anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping and nightmares/vivid dreams-nearly every possible side effect. I didn't make the connection of side effects til recently so as a teen I was on anti-depression/anxiety (Lexapro) meds and I also had sickening periods. The heart palps happened within the year and I went to ER from fear, but all these symptoms went away about 2 weeks after stopping use of 1 spray per nostril before bed. I run at least 2 miles/day and this has made it so hard until disuse. It works great for curing the congestion, but it isn't worth the resulting misery. I stopped using it a couple of times for a few months (which is how I figured it out) but I can't believe I've lived with those side effects for so long. | F | 24 | 6 years | 4/14/2012 | 1 | Sinus/Allergies after head cold | Male pattern hair growth, ANXIETY, metal taste, puffy eyes & cheeks, dry eyes/ pressure, nervous, photosensitive, FATIGUE, loss of cognition & memory, ear pain, joint & muscle pain, nose bleeds, jittery, WEAK, constipated, vision loss, weight gain | Thank goodness for this site. Both myself and my family thought I was decaying rapidly &/or going insane. I'm a 29 year old woman, this caused hair to grow & darken in between my breasts...plus major flu symptoms and poor brain function. Had constant herpes outbreaks in mouth. Awful drug!!! | F | 29 | 6 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 4/13/2012 | 5 | Allergies | Light nose bleeds, puffy eyes for the first two weeks of using medication. Possible weight gain. | I started taking this about a month and a half ago. It was wonderful being able to breathe at night, but for the first few weeks I would wake up with extremely puffy eyes...worse than when I had allergies. I have been having very light nose bleeds (just a couple drops of blood), and I have pain hip that won't go away. I am an avid exerciser so perhapse this is due to working out. Last month's menstual period was about half as long (no complaints there!!!). I am most concerned about weight gain though. Every week the scale seems to inch up about 0.5 lbs without any significant change in diet. But the relief from allergies is pretty much worth it. I sleep so much better at night! | F | 33 | 1.5 months 100 mcg 2X day | 4/11/2012 | 1 | Sinus allergies | Insomnia, severe headache, nausea, sudden weight gain, high blood pressure. | It helped with my allergies for a few days, but the side effects are brutal. | M | 55 | 6 days 2X day | 4/11/2012 | 5 | Allergies and congestion | No side effects | F | 28 | 10 days 50 2X day | 4/9/2012 | 1 | Sinus congestion due to nasal polyp | No side effects first week, gradually started getting pressure headaches, feeling unbalanced, dizziness, resulting in vomiting. Just thought my sinus congestion was getting worse, did not suspect it was the nasal spray. Then started to get intense nasal and sinus pressure a couple of hours after using. I kept on using the nasal spray, not believing that could be the cause as these symptoms are not listed in the side effects. Sinus tissues became inflamed, chronic head pressure. Stopped using the nasonex | Haven't used the spray for four days. Head pressure is gradually improving. I have fell very I'll whilst using this product and would strongly recommend to anyone using it to be very aware of their symptoms as the side effects I experienced are not listed. | F | 53 | 2 months 1X day | 4/8/2012 | 2 | Chronic sinusitis | While drifting off to sleep I suddenly had heart palpitations which was very alarming. Consequently I had insomnia that night. Skipped taking it the next dose and had palpitations again although not as severe. By the next skipped dose I had no palpitations. | Unfortunately for me aside from the very scary side effects the product seemed to help with my sinus problem. I am currently using a nasal saline solution only. My allergist went on the Nasonex site and found nothing listed about this side effect. Not surprised. | F | 54 | 6 days 50 MCG 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 1 | For allergic rinitis | Thinning of nasal septum, thus exposing blood vessels causing really heavy nose bleeds. Had to have both sides on nose cauterized last week. I was actually put on a repeat prescription for this lethal spray!! Research showed that u r not meant to use it for longer than 3months! My dr never told me! Hence the damage to my nose. My advise is DONT start to use it at all. Try natural remedy. Im going to now once ive healed from cauterization. I'd been using it for 18months. Please dont as its not pleasant having cauterization done. | F | 48 | 10 months 30Mg | 4/2/2012 | 1 | seasonal | BELLS PALSY.PARALIZED HALF OF MY FACE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING USE OF IT BACK FOR OVER A MONTH. BE CAREFUL THIS CAN BE PERMANENT. WOULD TAKE SINUS PRESSURE OVER HAVING USE OF HALF OF FACE BE CAREFUL OT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT TO ME. | F | 38 | 1 months as needed | 3/20/2012 | 1 | sinusitis and pink eye | elevated platelets in blood, inflammation of the bowel, diarrehea, severe pain in abdomen, bloated extended hard gut, bladder infection, sores in nose, wounds will not heal, low grade fever, chills, night sweats, headache persistent and severe to mild, runny nose, eye inflammation and swelling around eyes, ear discharge and mild earache, loss of appetite, unable to eat and digest any food - on liquids and BRAT diet as tolerated, weight loss, insomnia, | A walk in clinic doctor prescribed Nasonex for a sinus infection. I had been on Vigomox for pink eye and it didn't work so the Dr prescribed Nasonex. I had formerly been on Flonase. My bowel problems and pain in abdomen started first. I sought medical help for bowel/colitis like symptoms (was hospitalized for psueodomembranous colitis and almost died 30 years ago), I was unable to work for 3 weeks. I stopped the Nasonex 5 days ago (due to a commercial I saw on TV outlining side effects) Since then, my bowel is slowly healing, I am able to eat some regular foods and am finally off the BRAT diet (bananas, Rice, applesauce, toast - white) | F | 55 | 4 weeks 2X day | 3/12/2012 | 2 | Seasonal Allergies | anxiety, panic, dissociative episodes, inability to focus | I've had serious seasonal allergies for a few years now. Every year I think I'll be able to get away with homeopathic remedies or natural cures, but I inevitably end up at the doctor's office. I have tried nasonex twice, a couple of years apart. The first time I took the recommended dose and after 3 days I had a major panic episode. Today, out of desperation, I decided to give the steroids another shot. I decided to take half the recommended dose to start. I put one spray in each nostril, and about thirty minutes later I started feeling extremely strange. I was twitchy, despondent... I felt disconnected from the world, almost out of body. I almost lost my mind at the grocery store - every little thing made me jump ten feet in the air and cry. When i got home I totally lost it. I was running a bath and the sound of the bath water frightened me because it seemed way too loud. I started panicing and crying, hyperventilating and feeling totally out of control. My boyfriend wanted to take me to the hospital, but I asked him to get me an ativan instead, which after about 20 minutes had me feeling closer to normal. I've heard nasonex isn't supposed to give you a systemic steroid reaction, so maybe I'm just extremely sensitive to steroids (they always make me feel horrible). Regardless, if you have any kind of steroid sensitivity, I'd avoid this. Also, I have no idea if it cleared my nose because I was too focused on not giving in to the 'roid psychosis. | F | 25 | 1 days 1X day | 3/10/2012 | 1 | Allergies | Heart palpitations, insomnia, anxiety attacks, reflux, glaucoma, headaches, muscle weakness | Never thought a harmless allergy spray could cause so many problems. I now have glaucoma from this stuff. I am still trying to get over the side effects! | F | 36 | 3 months 2X day | 3/6/2012 | 4 | Seasonal Allergies | None that I can contribute to Nasonex | My son has been on Nasonex for a little over a year and it has helped, but not completely cured his allergies. He used to get sinus infections all the time and those have stopped. I think the key is that each child is different. Some do great on one medication and not on another. Nasonex worked for both of my sons with few side effects. But neither one could take Singulair. That medication changed both of their personalities. You don't know until you try. | M | 2.5 | 1 years 1X day | 3/5/2012 | 2 | Allergies | Insomnia, crazy dreams, anger, anxiety, heart palpitations, puffy feeling face and eyes | I have taken Nasonex the past several years during allergy season and the benefits seemed to outweigh the side effects. This year, the side effects are much worse and I am going to discontinue. I can't handle feeling emotionally out of control, and the insomnia is killing me. | F | 48 | 30 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/2/2012 | 3 | Allergies | Patchy sores on throat, weight gain despite dieting and exercising, water retention, bloating in abdomen. | It helped my allergies,heck, I felt like I was on top of the world. But the side effects are very undesirable and just "mask" symptoms by suppressing your immune system. This is EXTREMELY dangerous to people with existing viral/bacterial infections, ie Lyme disease, strep throat, hepatitis, herpes, AIDS, etc. I will never take STEROIDS again. Steroids are very harmful for your body, and doctors should use utmost caution before handing them out like candy. | F | 29 | 2 months 4 sprays 1X day | 2/25/2012 | 1 | This medicine is terrible. 2 days into it I had a migraine headache, dizziness, nausea,blurred vision in one eye and now I am lying down trying to going to sleep and I am having major heart palpitations. Dr should definately inform you of the potiential side effects before you start this medicine it is absolutely horrible! I will never use this medicine again the side effects have definately out weighed the benefits for me.. Take this off the market! I want a full refund as well!!! | This medicine is terrible... Do not use unless you enjoy being miserible! | F | 33 | 2 days 50 mcg 2X day | 2/23/2012 | 3 | blocked ears and stuffed nose | Heart palpitations at night, then diarrhea and a yucky sick feeling headache | I had an ear infection and upper respiratory infection in December. My ears are still congested and my nose is still congested. The Dr. told me it is due to allergies and gave me NASONEX. It did make my breathing easier, but I woke up with heart palpitations. On the 2nd day I ended up with liquid diarrhea and then a sick feeling headache. I decided to live with the ear congestion until I go to my ENT appointment and stopped the NASONEX. | F | 50 | 2 days 2X day | 2/11/2012 | 4 | Nasal Polyps | Heart Palpitation, Flutter, Anxiety, Nose dryness (always bleeding when blowing my nose), lost good part of sense of smell, difficulty sleeping....and the list goes on. | I cannot say for sure if my symptoms are related to Nasonex or not. I consulted with my Cardio, Electro Physiologist, Family Doctor along with my ENT. All are in agreement that Nasonex has nothing to do with my palpitations. Hmmmmm…after reading this site, I cannot help but wandering if…you know...can they all be wrong? Therefore, I will be stopping this medicine for a month and replace it with a saline solution for the dryness. I have lived for years in the past with out Nasonex so it won’t be difficult to stop it. I went through an Ablation procedure for the Flutter (no fun in case anyone is wondering) and I am still on strong Beta Blocker treatments on a daily basis...for THE REST OF MY LIFE. Because I have been left so long with a heart flutter (untreated) masked with the highest possible dose of Beta Blocker (240 mg twice a day) for 3 years. I have developed Fibrillation which is an inevitable sequel of Tachycardia (Flutter) which is why I still have to take those Beta Blockers (Sotalol). If stopping Nasonex do in deed settle my arrhythmias, ….there is going to be some pay back from somebody somewhere. 8( Time will tell …I will keep you posted…more to follow. | M | 49 | 7 years 2 spays 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 5 | Allergies | Weight gain, irregular periods, stiff/aching joints, irritability | completely cured allergies, i have 2 cats and am allergic to them, no problems at all whilst on Nasonex. However, side effects. | F | 29 | 6 months 1X day | 2/4/2012 |
