| 1 | Allergies | Can't sleep for over 7 hours and I cannot take any naps. Mild depression. | M | 31 | 3 months 2X W | 6/23/2011 | 1 | nasal congestion | severe burning of throat and esophagus | I was not given proper instructions and I burned my throat and esophagus to the point that I am now gargling with Lidocaine for pain relief. I have blisters on my tonsils and now they expect thrush. I would not recommend this medication | F | 53 | 7 days 60 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps | Throat numbness, headaches, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, serious recurring sinus infections, loss of sense of smell and insomnia if used before bed. | Prescribed by an ENT, I used Nasonex for almost two years. It was initially effective for the nasal stuffiness, although it left me shaky with moderate heart palpitations and shortness of breath for up to a couple of hours after use. Eventually I experienced complete loss of the ability to smell anything at all. The ENT said that the anosmia was due to the polyps NOT the Nasonex and even with surgery was probably irreversible. About a month ago (May of 2011) I caught my first real cold virus in a number of years and quit using the Nasonex because I was just too sick and the congestion made it impossible to spray anything into my nose. After about five days I was feeling better and thought about going back to my usual allergy routine however I woke up one morning with the beginnings of a sense of smell which improved throughout the day until I was able to smell things for the first time in a couple of years. I have not restarted the Nasonex, my sense of smell seems to have returned permanently, and it isn't making any difference to my allergies which it seems are well controlled by the other prescriptions of Astepro and Ipatropium Bromide. No more headaches, no more palpitations or shortness of breath when climbing my stairs, insomnia is gone and I could almost cry for happiness about being able to smell again. While the idea of having these polyps is kind of creepy, the feeling is diminished by actually being able to smell a rose as well as increased enjoyment of food | F | 68 | 2 years 50 mg 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | allergies--sinus congestion | headache, sinus pressure, vertigo, shoulder and neck pain, mild nausea, other digestive problems, lethargy. | After using this medication for the past several months I began to develop daily headaches accompanied by the other problems that I listed. I started to get very concerned that there might be something seriously wrong until I occured to me that the use of Nasonex after a time might be causing my symptoms. After looking at this website, which I have done before for other medications, I realized that many people cited the same or similar problems with their use of this medication. Well, now I began to realize that it is very possible/probable that this stuff is causing my problems. As of today, I'm quitting this and am eager to see how I feel after I've been off it for a while. From now on saline solutions only. Like many others, I am beginning to believe this stuff is poison. | M | 60 | 3 months 1X day | 6/12/2011 | 1 | Dust allergies/fluid in ears | Bloody discharge from left nasal passage. Heart palpitations. Irritability. Floaters and film in one eye. Olfactory disturbances. | I am a very healthy individual and take no other drugs, so my first instinct was to do a little research on Nasonex. I was quite surprised by all the negative side affects. Though I read the prescription insert, I was not prepared to experience so many reactions. Curious that some patients have not experienced any side effects and have benefited quite well. | F | 58 | 4 months 50mcg 1X day | 5/30/2011 | 1 | Dr. said "Allergies" | SEVERE laboured breathing, panic episodes, dizziness, minor bleeding nose. | I went to the doctor with bad post nasal drip and a clogged ear tube. He claimed it was allergies (though I told him I have had the same ear problem over and over and not during allergy season). He insisted that was the problem and instantly prescribed me Nasonex ($45.00) I used it a couple of time at night before I went to bed and noticed it almost immediately cleared up my nose drip. I used it for a few more nights and then one day I started getting extremely dizzy, to where I actually had to go and lay down to stop the dizziness. I went to a different doctor who said the dizziness was from my clogged ear. I went a couple of days without using it and the dizziness went away, I assumed my ear was getting better although it didn't feel unclogged at all. I went out of town for a weekend and noticed my "allergies" were really acting up, so I took Nazonex, for 3 nights straight and on the 4th day, I could barely walk a flight of stairs without struggling to breathe! I thought I was gonna die. When I returned home I continued with my Nazonex because it really did help with the nose drip and stuffiness. Then one day I had to episodes of severe trouble breathing. One when walking up a flight of stairs and one while loading my 2 year old in the car. That last one was really bad. I struggled to breath for a good 6 minutes and go so lightheaded that it started to get dark all around me and I almost passed out. My left arm also started to hurt and then my hand w | F | 36 | 2 weeks 1X day | 5/30/2011 | 1 | Nasal polyps | Where do I begin?? Over the past two years, I've developed a number of symptoms that have gotten worse. Severe dry eyes (had to use eye drops), super dry/dehydrated skin, dry mouth, constipation, anxiety, weight gain of 15 pounds, swollen face/extremities, high blood pressure (normal range, but mine has always been LOW). The list goes on. Assured by the ENT, my primary doctor, and the Internet that there are no side effects with Nasonex, I kept taking it. I was tested for Lyme disease, thyroid problems, anemia, and menopause (I'm 43) because I also had joint pain, depression and EXTREME fatigue. My mom mentioned that my face looked "puffy" and said, "maybe you're allergic to the Nasonex" (all medical tests came back negative). I stopped taking it. After what I now know were withdrawals (intense panic...) ALL THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN TO DISAPPEAR!!!!!!! After only 2 weeks, I didn't need eye drops, my watches fit again, I slept better, and lost 5 pounds. I have more energy | It's POISON!!!! | F | 43 | 2 years 2X day | 5/26/2011 | 1 | Glad I found this site, for I am having similiar bad side effects. Since there are so many of you dealing with anxiety, panic, heart rate, shakes, etc, can I ask what you all did to confirm this since it appears no dr believes this product is harmful? Anyone prove this with a blood/urine test? Has anyone complained to the Nasonex company? I appreciate any input to help me on my journey. Thank you | F | 42 | 50 mcg 1X day | 5/25/2011 | 1 | Vasomotor/Mixed Rhinitis | Dry mouth, bad taste. | This nasal spray is the most tolerable of the nasal spray geared toward alergies, but if you do not have alergies and were misdiagnosed to have alergy problems like I was, then it is Completely Worthless! If you are reading these ratings for Nasonex, then there is a chance that you are like me and have Vasomotor or Mixed Rhinitis like me. At least, I could speak from experiance that this drug did not help my condition at all. I recieved more relief from the sinus headaches from an over the counter nasal spray called Sinus Buster, then I did from this drug. I helped relieve a tiny amount of congestion but thats it....at least with my condition. | M | 31 | 3 weeks 50 1X day | 5/21/2011 | 1 | Allergies | For the past two days, I was plagued with a killer migraine-like headache. Once I started looking at this site, I realized that the blurry vision, nausea, and sleeplessness I've been experiencing over the past few days are also probably due to the Nasonex. | I'm really alarmed and disappointed! When the Nasonex initially seemed to be clearing up my allergies, I was very hopeful that it was going to be a good solution for me. But the migraine headache it gave me was completely debilitating. Thought I was going to collapse in the drug store while I was trying to buy migraine medicine! Watch out for this drug!! It's evil! | F | 46 | 7 days 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 1 | Allergies | I started taking this medication for my allergies, was told it had minimal side effects and glaucoma was not one of them. I now have glaucoma and there is no way to fix this condition. Other side effects that I experience were dizziness, dry mouth and sinuses, nausea, bloody nose and ear infections. I did some research and learned that the company had archived the side affect of glaucoma because of the rarity of patients getting it. I would like to persue a lawsuit to recover some of the pain and suffering that I will endure for the years to come. I will most definately lose my sight over time, and someone should be held accountable for their mistakes. | F | 42 | 4 years 50 mcg 2X day | 5/16/2011 | 3 | Sinus congestion | Feeling very shaky and nervous after spraying into my nose. Headache after the drug wears off. I am going to discontinue usage. | F | 65 | 10 days 1X day | 5/14/2011 | 1 | Polyp | Massive panic attack - dry throat | I know what panic attacks are - because i have suffered from attack because of a depression a couple of years ago - and was treated for it. I have not ever experienced that severe form of attack, ever, as I did after using nasonex for only 2 days. I knew i had to get of the drug again and stopped using it the next day. I haven't had any attacks since, and now have to find an alternative - but who to ask? my MD will probably not tell me, what I ought not use - I don't trust them in matter of perscriptions - is it the best drug or is it the drug perscribed beacause they are paid well to perscribe it.....call me paranoid! | F | 46 | 3 days 50 mg 2X day | 5/14/2011 | 1 | Allergies | I have severe allergies during spring, the allergist prescribed Nasonex. My allergies are gone, but I was starting to have severe headaches, nausea and dizzy spells. I stopped taking the medication and 3 days later I still feel severe vertigo/dizziness and nausea. | Wost medication ever! I am extremely dizzy and it wont go away! Thank God for this website because I thought I was going crazy or having a panic attack!!! | F | 36 | 10 days 2 2X day | 5/13/2011 | 1 | Allergy by pollen | firts I start feeling nervous after one or two hour I feel cold, hard palpitations, then I get into a panic situation. I have to suspend this medication. The 3 days I used it I felt that way. I got real scare when I got hard palpitation because I feel pain on my chest and left shoulder. | M | 26 | 3 days 50 MCG 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 3 | i can not breathe through my nose | not being able to sleep, and coughing over nothing. I am tired all the time | i wish i could get off of it but i can't breathe without it | F | 53 | 20 years 15 2X day | 5/12/2011 | 1 | Allergies and sinus headaches | Headaches, nosebleeds even after a day of using it I still experience nosebleeds after a week of discontinuing use, sinus pain/pressure, sore eyes and a burning sensation in my nose. | F | 27 | 1 days 100ug 1X day | 5/4/2011 | 3 | Nasal congestion/allergies | I've been diagnosed as having Atrial Ventricular Rentry nodule Tachycardia. In short, racing heart. After getting rid of all the other things that could cause or aggravate it (caffeine, decongestants, asthma inhalers), I still have incidents. I was still using Nasonex because my dr. assured me it was a corticosteriod and therfore NOT going to make my heart race. Oh, really???? Maybe not, but it was the only medicine I was still on. After two trips to the ER, and being told I have to have a heart "ablation" to stop the tachycardia, I'm wondering now, after reading all these comments if it just wasn't the Nasonex!! Have discontinued it now and will see how it goes before I do the surgery. I noticed on all the other websites, it doesn't mention any of thetachycardia or shakes (which I also have). I also completely loss my sense of smell. AVOID THIS MEDICATION!!!!! | F | 53 | 4 years 1X day | 4/29/2011 | 1 | sinus congestion | intense bout of double vision. | i should have known better than to take a steroid but my doctor who is great assured me there would be no side effects... started taking nasonex because of stuffy sinuses and thick post nasal drip. helped a lot at first. then one day out of the blue i just couldn't see "straight." i had intense double vision. it was terrifying, i thought i had a mini stroke. it lasted about a minute but seemed like hours. i somehow kept myself calm, reassured myself it would go away and eventually it did. i've had no other symptoms of TIA with speech, balance, weakness, etc. could it have been the nasonex? i'd rather live with stuffy head than ever have that happen again. got a neti pot and doing saline irrigation to flush allergens out. no more steroids | F | 50 | 7 days 30 2X day | 4/29/2011 | 1 | Allergies | pressure in eye area and headaches. | I wake up each morning with a headache about 5 or 5:30am each morning when take Nasonex. Gets very old so am going to go off of it. | F | 34 | 4 months 20 1X day | 4/29/2011 |
