| 1 | Seasonal Allergy | insomnia, HEAD RUSHES and flushing every 60 seconds, irritability, cold sores, face tingling, weak muscles all over, nosebleed. | I thought I was going to have a stroke or that my blood pressure was high etc. Otherwise healthy.... Went to urgent care and had a bunch of labs drawn.... They said I was fine. I know I'm not. Also weird is that my thyroid labs t have been normal for years have gone crazier than when I was first diagnosed and those labs a month ago were fine. So glad to find this site!!! | F | 45 | 3 weeks 1 spray 2X day | 10/1/2011 | 5 | Nasal Congestion | Absolutely none. I have been taking this medication for five months and these have been the happiest, most peaceful times of my life. I have slept really well and rarely wake up at night now. I no longer feel tired from allergies and I haven't noticed any of the side effects below. | M | 25 | 5 months 200 mcg 1X day | 9/24/2011 | 4 | Hayfever | I would usually suffer from hayfever at this time of year (spring) but since taking nasonex I have not had so much as a runny nose which is brilliant HOWEVER I have recently gotten a coldsore out of the blue, as I have read here has also happened to others taking nasonex, and now today I have woken with numbness/pain on the left side of my face (same side that my coldsore is also on) like I have been slapped and my sinus is extremely painful and the pain is also around my left eye. Also some sensitivity on the left side of my body. | F | 31 | 4 weeks 2X day | 9/22/2011 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | Increase in high blood preasure, headache, mucle pain above knees. I was on the Diovan for a couple of weeks and then I got off the medication. Ever since I start taking Nasonex my blood pressure came back. The Nasonex was prescribed by my physician to treat my Chronic Sinusitis. | M | 34 | 1 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 9/22/2011 | 1 | Chronic Sinusitis | High Blood Pressure, Heart Palipitations, Shortness of Breath, feeling like I cant get enough O2 in my lungs, Anxious and generally irritable. | Went to the Dr. yesterday - I have just been feeling awful for 3 weeks. Was at the ENT 2 weeks ago for a followup for my Chronic Sinusitis. I had started taking Nasonex 2 sprays each nostril before bed. Nurse took my BP and told me it was high 152/100 - she took it 4 more times and each time it came back high from 160 -150/100 range. She told me I should follow up with my GP regarding it. Went to my GP yesterday for the heart palipitations and shortness of breath - and she wanted to put me on Blood Pressure Medication - explained that I haven't been feeling well, and was at the ENT 2 weeks ago and they told me I have high bloop pressure.. I'm 40 - work out 6 days a week biking and running. I'm 5'2 and weigh 118lbs. My BP has always been normal - until Nasonex. She told me it's not the nasonex and I should start taking Beta blockers - well - I'm not taking beta blockers, or Nasonex anymore. Too much of a coincidence for me to believe that I just got high blood pressure out of the blue. I don't feel much better yet, but I can feel my body slowly coming back.I'm convinced this is all realated.. | F | 40 | 21 days 2 sprays 1X day | 9/21/2011 | 1 | Fluid behind the ear,allergies | headaches,mood swings, nausea, vomiting,sinus pain, pains in back, lungs, chest, shoulders and neck. burning of throat and espahagaus , heart burn. frequent use of bathroom *every half hour* little to no appetite, always tiered, shortness of breath, heart paps. dizzy, hard to use hands at times always dropping stuff. Extremely tiered , up threw out night constantly, stressed. | i waited 4 hours in an ER waiting room to find out what was wrong with my ear. i was in and out of the room within 5 of my name being called. the doctor told me it was fluid in me ear due to t5he tubes not draining due to allergies.Doctor told me to "get rid" of all my pets.After telling her no she gave me Reactine and Nasonex. since then i have had no hollow sound in my ear but i feel 100 times worse then before i started it | F | 23 | 1 weeks 2spray 2X day | 9/14/2011 | 1 | allergies | palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, muscle and bone pain, acne, puffy face, weight gain, itching, racing heart, nervousness, shaky | I visited the doctor this week with numerous troubling symptoms. He scheduled me for a barrage of tests. It suddenly dawned on me that my symptoms began about the time I began using Nasonex. In researching the drug, I found this website. I was amazed to see the number of people whose symptoms were just like mine. I quit using Nasonex two days ago and I am already feeling much better. I'll go ahead with the tests just in case, but I'm convinced that Nasonex was the cause of my problems. | F | 57 | 3 months 2 sprays 1X day | 9/5/2011 | 3 | Nasal congestion | Irritated throat, heart palpitations, insomnia, depression, anxiety, weakened immune system, achy and weak muscles, worse eyesight | Ive been taking 2x2 sprays per day for about a year now. Nasonex does what it's supposed to do, even now that I have a runny nose, I dont feel very congested. But like others Im starting to think the side effects start to become far worse than the nasal congestion I got the spray for. I get runny nose far more often than before, I have developed a nasty insomnia (3+ hours to fall asleep no matter what). Doc gave me medicine for depression too which I discontinued to use as certain events improved the quality of my life. Achy muscles are really annoying, a short walk is enough to cause muscle cramps that I didnt usually get even after running for 30 minutes or more. My long range vision has become somewhat blurred. I just dont know whether to quit taking nasonex as Im afraid the nasal congestion comes back far worse than what it was before starting to use the drug. | M | 23 | 1 years 50mg 4X day | 8/31/2011 | 4 | Allergic Rhinitis | I can breathe clearly throughout my nose, I can sleep better, I can live a normal life, I can eat whatever I want, I can be outside as long as I want whenever I want, and I only have to take the spray 1x daily. | M | 19 | 2 years 200 1X day | 8/30/2011 | 3 | Nasal Allergies | Dry eyes, nose bleeds, infections including ears, sinus, bladder, headaches that ibprofen cant help, nausia at times, loss of hunger at times, bad menstration cramps, loss of smell, have added medications to the arsenal! Due to dry eyes caused by this med i have eye drops i have to use 4-5 times a day, ive been on antibiotics an average of 3 times a month due to infections, have spent a boat load of money at ENT to cure ear infection, sinus infection. also have mood swings that i didnt have previously. | Nasonex DID relieve nasal congestion. But it also CAUSED alot of problems. I quit it 2 days ago. Nose congested again, stomach cramps, head ache yesterday. What do you take next after quitting this stuff?? What IS SAFE to take to clear congestion?! | F | 43 | 5 months 17G 2X day | 8/24/2011 | 3 | Severe Hayfever | A miracle cure for the first few days, then I started to get severe anxiety symptoms and irregular heartbeats. | The doctor said the anxiety symptoms and heart problems were caused by anxiety due to some kind of hidden mental problem (yes they worked that out after a 5min consultation) and Naxonex was completely safe. I now believe that some people who have low stress levels or more importantly low levels of adrenaline can cope with nasonex, just like they can with caffeine etc. However, my guess is that anyone who is sensitive to adrenaline or has high stress levels, may find that naxonex pushes them over the limit into anxiety attacks etc. I found after discontinuing naxonex for a year, that the recommended dose was far to high for me and I suspect others too. I now have one single spray every 3 days and I can cope with that. I also completely avoid caffeine and alcohol while I'm taking it. I keep my adrenaline levels as low as possible. It's a shame that doctors don't recognise this connection. | M | 48 | 14 days 50mcg 2X day | 8/22/2011 | 1 | congestion | Headaches, insomnia, shoulder pain. heart palps, and bad muscle weakness and pain, | Was fine the first two days using a puff per nostril 2x a day, the the third day day had a horrible headache (never get headaches) heart started racing while laying down, muscle weakness in legs, then that night did not sleep a wink! the next day my shoulder hurt so bad, thght that I had smashed into something, the horrible headache came back, I knew it must be the nasonex, found this site and know that it definitely was! Horrible stuff!! | F | 44 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 8/14/2011 | 3 | post nasal drip and chesty cough | If I use it as per doctor's dosage for a week to a month I start to get nose bleeds. The nose bleeds subside a few days after stopping the nasonex | I love it! Yes the nose bleeds were a HUGE hassel and very frustrating, I loved how the nasonex helped my cough! I now use it 'as i need', usually a single spray in each nostril before bed and paired with a saline spray. When I don't use it my cough starts to become heavier. | F | 20 | spray 1X day | 8/10/2011 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis | Mild headache, but it cured the allergic rhinitis and I am sleeping through the night for the first time in 3 months, can breathe through my nose and very happy with the drug so far. In the last 3 months I tried everything (nasal irrigation, sudafed, otrivin etc) and this was a last resort as I was concerned about the reported side effects. I am very healthy and fit otherwise. | F | 49 | 14 days 50 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 3 | Fluid in ears, resistant ear infect | Pounding headaches similar to bad sinus headaches. | Gave to my 7 year old to clear fluid from his ears that kept getting infected. He is a leukemia patient. It did clear him up. After 4 weeks started to get really bad what seemed to be sinus headaches. Stopped the drug immediately. | M | 7 | 4 weeks 50mcg 2X day | 7/27/2011 | 1 | chronic sinus | extremely itchy all over the head. Palpitations.Depression. insommnia, vision disturbance & eye pressure. After reading other peoples probems have discontinued immediately. | F | 63 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/22/2011 | 1 | Blocked ears | I felt very weak. My legs would not carry me. My arms were numbs. My leg muscles were aching and weak. I had some flu like symptoms. It took a week to recover. I started again to check that it wasn't the nasal spray and it all started again. | F | 37 | 2 days 2X day | 7/17/2011 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Severe headaches sore throat thick mucus depression tingling and numbness in hands bloody nose ear infection | The more I use it the more severely clogged my nose gets making it impossible to breathe or stop using nasonex. This medication is not for me. | F | 34 | 30 days 2sprays 1X day | 7/5/2011 | 1 | hayfever | Stiff, sore neck and back. Heart palpitations. | This drug should be removed from the marketplace immediately! Class action suit anyone? | M | 37 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/1/2011 | 1 | Sinus Pressure/Allergies | I used this product 1 day. The physcian who prescribed this poison did not ask if I had any viral issues like herpes! Which now I know you should never take this medicine. It has started frenzy of issues in my body. Immediately within 24 hours I developed cold sores. The next week severe muscle twiches and muscle weakness that has not stopped at all for the past two weeks since taking two spray in each nostril. Now I am having trouble with some numbness on the left side of my face, my eye on that side hurts, my neck and shoulders hurt. My body feels sore all over when i get up every morning. I am having extreme anxiety, nervousness and can't sleep. I believe it may be time to really push for the FDA to take this off the market. I can feel a suit coming eventually. | Dont take it under any circumstances. Its a poison and they are playing with peoples lives. | F | 41 | 1 days 40 mg 2X day | 6/25/2011 |
