| 3 | year-round allergies | Headaches across the forehead | This medicine really cleared up my runny nose and constant sneezing. I am taking it with Claritin. I am going to the allergist today to ask about the headaches. I tried taking 600 mil. of Ibuprophen but nothing helped. I had to go off it over the weekend to get rid of the headache and I couldn't sleep last night. I don't know if stopping the Nasonex was the cause. | F | 53 | 7 days 50 mcg 1X day | 10/25/2010 | 1 | (partner) to help with anger. | headache | my partner got prescription for this drug off his doctor after he went to get help for anger...the doctor told him due to him always being bungged up, having sleepless night, and eating inaproprated meal aday that this should help! hes 90% surton that this drug will helpwith his anger...now idont agree! i cant work out why a hayfever drug will help with anger plz can some1 help me on this.. | F | 22 | 2X day | 10/21/2010 | 2 | Increased PVC's (Palpaations) Felt very tired, Nose pain, anxious, insomnia. | I was feeling very unlike myself,and had no clue that this "Non steroidal wonder spray" was the culprit till I read all of these posts that are so similar to my experience. I am getting off the drug and really wish my ENT Doc would have warned me! | F | 45 | 2 months 30 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 1 | ALERGIC RHINITIS | I ALSO HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF SMELL & TASTE....BE IT THE MOST DELICIOUS DESSERT OR A WELL-BREWED COFFEE....PLEASE HELP I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO BACK TO SMELLING & TASTING. I HAVE STOPPED USING NASONEX. | F | 27 | 6 months 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 3 | swollen turbinates tissues | I have completely lost my sense of smell. i can not smell anything at all. weather it is coffee beans or at a fragrance shop, I just cannot smell anything at all. | this spray helped to calm my nasal turbinates but on the side effects it took my sense of smell back. I need advise please what to do. | M | 30 | 2 years 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 3 | Sinus Pain | Loss of appetite & taste. Mild depression - thoughts of suicide, sadness which leads to crying, worthlessness. Some days I felt like not wanting to speak to friends or be around them. | M | 27 | 2 months 2 sprays 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 2 | Inflamed Septum | I am shocked at everyone's side effects on this spray. Although for my inflamed septum it has done absolutely nothing I must say the side affects have been minimal. The septum area does bleed which I think is from the spray. No other side affects though | F | 50 | 8 days l spray 2X day | 10/17/2010 | 4 | Eustachian Tube/Plugged-popping ear | Headache for last two days | I'm not one to take drugs. But, I had been going through hell for the last two months with a plugged ear and ear pressure. Nothing I did helped. Dentist suspects TMJ and jaw putting pressure on ear due to clenching and poor bite but won't touch me until ENT Dr. gives ok. On a long list to see ENT. Went to see family Dr. for temp. solution. Dr. prescribed Nasonex to open everything up and let it drain. Asked pharmacsist if there are any side affects, "No, some people get nose bleeds, that's all". Seems safe. I'm suppose to use 2 sprays each side 2x per day. I've changed it to 2 sprays 1x per day at times. Ear is much better but not perfect. I suspected something is not right when I started getting headaches recently. I rarely get headaches. I almost accepted this drug with blind faith that it's safe. I am glad I found this site. I am going to be very very cautious with this drug. Thank you all for sharing your stories. | F | 47 | 2 weeks 50 mcg 2X day | 10/15/2010 | 1 | allergies, stuffy nose | nauseated, constantly ringing ears, lump in throat, irritable, blurred vision. | At first I did not want to use this drug because it is a steroid, but I could not breathe through my nose due to allergies. Nasonex cleared my nose almost immediately, however, the side effects were horrible (nausea, constant ear ringing, hard to swallow, irritability, blurred vision, to name a few!). Like most drugs, this is POISON and unnatural for the human body. I am tossing it in the trash where it belongs! And I am returning to solving my health issues through natural healing. Check your local health food store for help before putting a dangerous substance into your body. | F | 59 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 10/15/2010 | 1 | sinus congestion | Insomnia, sore throat, flu like symptoms, tired all the time | After feeling horrible for some time, I decided that I should look into side effects of nasonex since it is the only drug I take. I was absolutely shocked to see my symptoms (sore throat, lethargic, insomnia, flu-like symptoms & mood swings) were listed on this site. | F | 61 | 2 sprays 1X day | 10/11/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | headaches, pressure in the ears, dizziness, panic attacks, sleep disturbances. | A&E twice, brain scan, as the pain experienced was terrible. this drug strips the body of magnesium so if you have experienced side effects please take magnesium and do not stop this drug instantly as this will cause even worse side effects cut down the drug slowly. | F | 40 | 6 months 30mg 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 1 | Allergy symptoms, stuffy nose | Insomnia, depression, loss of interest in things I normally love to do. Loss of smell diminished sense of taste. | A few weeks ago I couldn't stand the depression and lying awake at night anymore. So I started thinking about what I was doing differently, Nasonex was the only thing different. So I went to my computer, and found insomnia and mood swings as a side affect of Nasonex. I immediately discontinued use, and as time goes on I still have depression, anger, irritability and NO sense of smell. I pray to God these symptoms go away very soon. | F | 48 | 4 months 50 mcg 1X day | 10/7/2010 | 1 | Allegies | Please read my story if you are suffering side effects from this drug. Apologies it's in three parts but there's a character limit. Parts one and two are below... | PART 3 of 3: I believe that this is a great short-term allergy relief drug for some people but please please please re-consider taking it for more than 6 weeks. If you do decide to go long term, don’t quit cold turkey if you start developing the same type of symptoms that I had—taper it off slowly. If you’re currently reading this and you are going through the same thing, please know that it will get better. I know what sleepless nights, dark thoughts, and shakes feel like. I know that you might not be able to eat but hang in there. It will get better. Withdrawal sucks but try not to stop doing the things you love. You’re not crazy. One day, you’ll look back and pass on the same advice to the next poor sucker going through this. Now shut down the internet, drink some juice, go for a walk, and tell yourself that it will be over soon. If you’re walking through hell—keep walking, you’re bound to come out on the other side. | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 1 | allergies | Please read the three parts to my story... | PART 2: My wife was very worried but supportive and she took me to another doctor. That doctor recognized my story as a previous patient of his had gone through a similar ordeal. We did a million tests but his main recommendation was to see a naturopath who had helped his previous patient. She put me on a simple diet and vitamin regimen. She told me that this would take at least five months to clear and put me in touch with two other people who had nearly identical histories with Nasonex. To make a long story short, these two strangers helped me through what I now know was a serious withdrawal from this drug. After a few months, the headaches begin to disappear, the shaking stopped, and my vision was mostly back to normal. Although we were all at different stages, all three of us took a year to get to the point where we felt that we were almost 100% better. I am writing this because I know what long-term use of this drug can do and I want to let people (especially parents) know that this is not a simple and harmless drug, it is a powerful medication with potentially horrific side-effect. Doctors will tell you that this is only anecdotal evidence but please ask them to produce a clinical study with trial subjects who took this drug for more than 40 days. They can’t. | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 10/2/2010 | 1 | sinusitis, allergies | Dizziness jittery,, anxiety, nervousnous, | i have been on Nasonex for almost 2 months, for chronic sinusitis, I thought i was going to have a nervous breakdown, I have had such pressure in my head, anxiety attacks are horrible, i thought there was something seriously wrong with me, im so glad i came across this site, i was going to pick up another script for this, Never again, I have had a feeling of being nervous for no reason, i cant believe they allow this on the market, No wonder my Doctor keeps giving it to me im not getting any better, im just making him rich, and myself crazy | M | 40 | 2 months 50 mg 2X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Confusion, Light-headedness and lots more and the worst of it was - ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS | I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS EVEN IF MY DOCTOR SAYS THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS | M | 45 | 2X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Allergies | PLEASE read the three parts of my story if you are suffering from this drug | PART ONE: Please do not believe that this drug is harmless. I could write a book about the horrors this drug put me through. My doctor prescribed it long term, telling me that it was “harmless.” I took it for just over two years. At first it was a wonder drug. I could breath through my nose again and I didn’t have to spend my days with my nose clogged up. I also gained 25 pounds in those two years (and I’m very active) but just figured that it was part of the aging process. After about two years, I started to have vision problems and would shake uncontrollably in the morning (right around the same time I would take Nasonex). Shortly after this, my vision became permanently foggy and I began to get headaches that forced me to book off work. I suspected that it was the Nasonex but my doctor told me that I had anxiety and that I should see a shrink—he said that there was no possible way Nasonex could cause any of these side-effects. As the symptoms got worse (constant tremors, migraines, vision problems, insomnia, night terrors, voices) I decided to quit Nasonex. Within a week, I was suicidal, depressed, and so lost that I considered quitting the job I loved, leaving the woman of my dreams, and ending it all. In short, I had been a VERY happy and relatively stress-free guy, and here I was, ready to pack it in. Within a month, I had barely eaten and lost over 30 pounds. My wife was very worried but supportive and she took me to another | M | 41 | 2.2 years 1X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Allergies, Nasal congestion. | Dizziness,Headaches,Blurred vison, Cant focus,stomach pain, sore throat. | Dont take this.. i've been taking it for about oh.. A little over a week and about 4 days ago I started getting really dizzy and now its getting worse. My stomach started to hurt, and my breathing was getting messed up. I will not take this again. | F | 14 | 11 days 2X day | 9/27/2010 | 1 | Sinus infection | I will NEVER USE THIS AGAIN - two trips to emergency - heart issues, SEVERE HEAD ACHES, And many many more side effects What a bunch of crap. They should be sued. | F | 48 | 7 days 1 spray 2X day | 9/24/2010 | 1 | sinus headache/blocked ears | stomach pain, anxiety, obsessions, poor sleep, headaches, heart beating fast | will stop it immediately because I see the connection of all these symptoms | F | 67 | 4 weeks 2X AN | 9/18/2010 |
