| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Sinus congestion | Severe headaches, bizzare and vividly detailed dreams, unbearable pressure in head, increased sinus problems, and I believe, the onset of vertigo. | Week 1:No effect, positive or negative Beginning of week 2: I began feeling worse and wondered if the Nasonex was causing it. End of week 2: Terrible headaches, increased sinus problems, increased pressure in ears and head. I decided to stop taking Nasonex. The following night I came down with vertigo. Extreme dizziness, nausea, room spinning, inability to keep balance, etc. Week three: Went to GP and ENT and they said to keep taking the Nasonex. I went back on it and the symptoms got much worse. I could not stay balanced, my head felt like it would explode, and my sinuses were painful. Words cannot describe how bad I felt. I was sure I had a brain tumor or aneurism. Week Four: I am convinced that Nasonex is from hell. I quit taking it and over the next three days the symptoms lessened. I am into day 5 of being off Nasonex right now and I am still experiencing dull headaches, and bouts of dizziness and nausea associated with vertigo but not anywhere near as bad as when I was taking it, Conclusion: This is an awful drug. I would say that the illness CAUSED by this evil in a bottle is ranked in the top 3 of the worst things that have ever happened to me physically. The other things as bad or worse that Nasonex for me were: 1) Horrible car accident 2.) Chicken pox as an adult 3.) Mono and Nasonex side effects are tied. | M | 43 | 28 days 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Palpitations, Short of Breath, Fatigue, Insomnia | Holy moly ... I will never take this again. My HR shot up, I couldn't get the breath I wanted all day and night despite being 100% oxygenated, I was tired like i had a cold and I haven't slept since the first dose - terrible drug, I feel as though i have the flu. Doctors need to educate themselves on SE - did nettipot saline solution and it worked much better ... stay away from Nasonex | M | 23 | 3 days 30mg 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 1 | allergies | Severe headache, severe muscle ache, cramping, couldn't walk well, affected right side of my body, blood pressure 180/100, right eye drooped, extreme pain, could not function | Will never take a steroid again! | F | 43 | 1 days 2 sprays 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 3 | hayfever and sinusitis | Felt like I was "tripping". Heart rate increased and could not get to sleep...mind was racing. All this after one dose. No thank you.I will try salt water and a non drowsy antihistimine. Felt like a wasted $40 (not on prescription) | F | 55 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 9/16/2010 | 1 | allergies | Panic attack, migraines, bronchial spasm. | First off, my idiot doctor didn't tell me I should only take it for two weeks, so I ended up taking it longer than that. When I was on Nasonex I had a massive panic attack and migraine. I also had a bronchial spasm shortly after starting nasonex. I went to the hospital two times within a one month period. I still feel the side-effects of Nasonex after being off it for almost a month now. I strongly recommend that no one take this poison. | F | 18 | 50 mcg 2X day | 9/16/2010 | 5 | Allergies | None | I went to an allergist about two months ago because my late summer and fall allergies were getting worse each year. I would have sneezing fits where I couldn't stop and would wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning with sneezing and stuffy nose. OTC helped to some extent, when I remembered to take it. Nasonex has helped me greatly. | F | 35 | 2 months 2X day | 9/8/2010 | 3 | sinus poblems from allergies | dizziness, lightheadedness, weird stomach problems, sinking feeling, weird dreams, heart palpitations | Initially it was wonderful, helping shrink my sinuses. However, I have slowly been experiencing side effects and after reading everyone's posts, I am going to get off of this drug. I will rely on my neti pot. | F | 61 | 2 months 1X day | 9/5/2010 | 1 | nasal congestion | sneezing as soon as i used it and dryed out my nose..didnt do a thing to help me, only made it feel stuffier. | F | 49 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/30/2010 | 1 | seasonal allergies | sleeplessness, agressiveness, dizziness, feeling like passing out, rapid heartbeat and feeling like you are totally wasted. | nearly passed out at work this week and was taken to the dr....was diagnosed as having a viral infection and was sent home....came on here to check on the side effects and found out my symptoms are just like everyone else has...no more nasonex for me | M | 45 | 1X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | allergies/sinuses | headaches/I become aggressive/stoped using when between the bridge of nose and eye veins broke leaving my right looing like someone had hit me. Also lost weight as food tasted so bad. | Not for me I am using nasel strips at night and this helps alot would not touch nasonex no matter what. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X day | 8/24/2010 Patient History | 1 | seasonal allergies | This website was very helpful. Finally figured out my side effects are attributed to this med. Anxiety, trouble getting to and staying asleep, headache that is not treatable. An overall 'bewildered' feeling and I am a high functioning person. | Used this during allergy season. Worked very well on symptoms but not worth the side effects, now that I have figured this out. | F | 58 | 1 years 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 3 | Spring/summer allergies/stuffy nose | Slight headaches...nothing else to make note of | I've been taking Nasonex for about 2 1/2 weeks now. It does help keep me clear (mostly) throughout the day. I do 2 sprays in each nostril in the morning. I would have rated it a "4" if not for the price. $50 per bottle is excessive (for the results the product gives me), and that $50 bottle covers me for 1 month (4 sprays per day divided by 120 sprays per bottle). I guess I would recommend this if not for the price. Nasonex has been much better on me than Rhinocort. | M | 33 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | headaches on the right side and back of the head, dizziness, loss of balance, blurred vision, irritability, tingling sensation in head, lightheadedness, ear pain | Posted previously on 07/21/10. Stopped taking Nasonex on 07/14/10 - still exoperiencing headaches and dizziness, ear pain caused by fluid buildup in ear. Its getting better slowly. I never imagined these horrible side effects would last this long. Just hoping they will eventually go away. Would never recommend this medicine to anyone. By the time I started having these side effects, the medicine was built up in my system, taking forever for the side effects to get better. Have gone through hell for the past 2 months! Anyone know how long these side effects last? | F | 40 | 3 months 2X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | anxiety, headaches, insomnia, visual disturbance | After a week of using this twice a day, I started to have visual problems and severe anxiety and mood swings. Dr. prescribed Xanax and said that steroids can cause a reaction like this but that she had never heard of it happening with nasal steroids. So glad I found this site so I know it is not just me!! I have been off the Nasonex for approximately a week and am starting to feel better but not back to normal. I will NEVER take this again and would NEVER recommend it to anyone. | F | 36 | 7 days 2X day | 8/12/2010 | 5 | hay fever, allergies | No side effects | I've had allergies and hay fever for about 8 years now, and it keeps getting worse, even with once or twice yearly trips to the ENT. I've been on Nasonex for a couple of weeks now after my latest trip to the doctor, and it's been very effective. During some bad spells, I've been sneezing 30~50 times per day, runny nose, etc. Nasonex cleared it right up and so far has been very effective. I don't really like taking medications for fear of developing resistance, so I will probably stop after a few days to see how bad it gets again, but for now, I've been very satisfied. I can now breathe with both nostrils, sneeze once or twice a day at most, no runny nose, etc. On a side note, I've seen some people complaining about the price of Nasonex, and that seemed strange, so I looked up the prices. Oh, my God! I saw prices ranging from 50~100 dollars! That's ridiculous. Why is it so expensive in the US? I'm in South Korea, and one bottle cost something like 3 or 4 dollars with a prescription. Of course we have a good national health care system, so something like 60~70% of most medications are paid through insurance, but that still makes it around 10 dollars without insurance. I know health care costs in the US is expensive, but I had no idea it was this bad. | M | 39 | 15 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Sinus/allergies | Fatigue, depression, irritability, extreme anxiety | Worked effectively for the sinuses and allergies but the side effects made it impossible to continue. I was miserable and it was insidious until the irritability and anxiety kicked in. I will never take this again!! Glad I figured it out, saved me a trip the psychiatrist! Felt better as soon as it was discontinued, 5 days to normal. | F | 59 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I would wake-up in the morning with terrible head-aches as if i drank 12 beers the night before. The back of my skull felt like it was going to pop-off. Also, on other nights, i would wake-up to terrible re-occuring nightmares. If it wasnt a nightmare then it would be a vivid, intense, and very stressful dreams. | My Dr. prescribed this to me for a constant post nasal drip problem. I have never had side effects from other medicines. | M | 42 | 1 months 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | allergy | Light headed, can't sleep and racing heart. Headache and funny taste in my mouth. Having seen the other posts I will stop taking this med and hope the side effects go away ASAP. I feel terrible | F | 55 | 35 days 4X day | 7/29/2010 | 2 | eustachian tube inflammation | 20 minutes after spraying Nasonex into my nose my heart rate jumped to 104 | It was too short a time to tell if there were any beneficial effects for an inflammed eustachian tube because I have stopped using it after only two doses. Anything that raises heart rate 30-40 points is having other effects that may be unknown. Don't believe your doctor when he says the drug is not absorbed systemically. If it were not why then would it cause tachycardia and glaucoma? Doctors should stop getting their education about drugs from the pharmaceutical sales rep and read the science for themselves. | F | 57 | 2 days 1 spray 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 2 | Glue Ear | Anxiety, irritability, minor headaches, heart racing | Cleared nose blockage effectively but not glue ear | M | 38 | 2 weeks 2 shots 2X day | 7/21/2010 |
