| 4 | Polyps. Had surgery. | I have been using Nasonex for 4 days so far and have no serious complaints. The only thing that has bothered me is my throat hurt for a day but its getting better and I have trouble sleeping *That also is getting better*. | I can't say why I was put on Nasonex {not sure} but I imagine its to help keep the polyps away since I just had surgery to get them removed 3 weeks ago. Along with taking Nasonex I am taking Singulair because of the sneezing I am having {Past year I have developed allergies}. Nasonex so far hasn't done anything bad but what people need to understand when reading comments by other people in relation to a drug is that just because a group of people had one thing happen to them it doesn't mean the same will happen to you. Reaction to drugs just goes by who you are and your tolerance. If your DR told you to take it; then take it. If it botheres you to the point it harms your day to day life then contact your DR and tell them the issue he/she will tell you what step to take next. To many people stop taking a medication given to them by a DR without talking to their DR first. I see it everyday in my pharmacy. | F | 25 | 4 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/6/2010 | 1 | congestion | Sore throat, ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | I have had congestion problems which led to breathing problems and this was going on for about a 20 year period. I have begun to live with it. I have tried many different medicines but no relief. I have tried Nasonex and was experiencing all kinds of problems. I have been doing yoga (Kapalbhaati) since the last 7 months and all my congestion and breathing problems are gone! Lots of energy now. | M | 38 | 2 months 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | fractured nose --> Swollen tissue | Head aches, slight burning in nose, bloody nose when blowing onto tissue paper, insomnia, depresion, feeling 'spaced out', breathing difficulties leading to panic attacks. | I posted on 12/6/2009, describing these side effects. Due to Nasonex, or not, I've been diagnosed with excersize-enduced asthma. I've never had it before, and I find it a bit too coincedental that I've been diagnosed with that just after I've finished Nasonex. Be very careful when using this product. | F | 20 | 5 weeks 2X day | 3/5/2010 | 3 | inflamed sinuses | This medication did succeed in unblocking my sinuses. Yet, for the past two days I have not been able to smell anything. Today I cannot taste my food or drink. The second day I had pains on the right hand side of my chest that would stop me in my tracks. I am worried that this medication may have killed my senses. Hopefully I am being over dramatic & they will reappear, hopefully not as I'm entering Glastonbury toilets! | F | 33 | 7 days 2 x 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | I posted 1/24/10. Since then it took two weeks to get to normal moods and the energy i had returned. Im back to six miles a day running and free weights every other day with 100 situps and 50 pushups with each workout everyday. Im 49. I did this work out program since i was 17 and i was down to barely a walk two times a week. Nasonex was going to slowly kill me and i didnt even think it was that. I looked like i had track marks on my arms i was alway sick no energy and you can read the post on 1/24. The big difference is i purchased a netti pot at walmart for 14 dollars (neilmed brand its there only one) and after stareing at it for 3 days and thinking it would make me vomit or water was going to go in and explode my head i finally did it. And there is no going back to poisonex ever again. I cant believe how great i can tastes food and smell smells i have been missing. And my ears the big thing i can hear soooooo great i cant tell you how good it feels.They pop normaly i can hear highs | I will never use nasonex or any drug in my body for my ears or sinus ever again unless ther is a culture done and it shows a need for drugs. I also told my doctor and fired him after 26 years of non stop blood test nasal probes and different drugs. | M | 49 | 9 months 2 Squirts 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 4 | recommended by specialist | I seem to have developed a red nose - similar to being sun-burnt on the end? I stopped using spray for a week to see if the redness would go however, I developed a sinus infection! Started using the spray again and unfortunately, no amount of makeup is covering my red nose... Bit annoyed really as otherwise this product is working for me. Don't particularly like looking like Rudolph! Anyone else suffering this or is it just me? | Immediate relief insofar as I could breath through my nose every morning and didn't wake up with that horrible headache that comes with sinus problems. I was constantly taking pain killers but that has been hugely reduced. | F | 51 | 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 3 | swollen sinuses allergies snoring | My son is 8. He has been snoring for a couple of years and has obviously swollen nasal passages. (had adenoids & tonsils out 3 years ago). Dr. prescribed this spray. I gave it to him last night and today he was on top of the world today. Hugging me--constantly. Chasing his brother. Gave the dog a bath. Cleaned his room. Laughing at everything. Jumping around. Saying he woke up not feeling tired. Like he's on speed or coke. Weird. The sudden and dramatic personality change is huge. I don't understand why it is happening exactly, but nasonex is powerful stuff. I'm not sure it's a good thing. He needs to breathe at night, but he's freaking me out. He seems a little crazy and unbalanced. Thank goodness we are seeing an allergist next week. I would NEVER use this over the long term and MIGHT use it once a week. Might not, too. | Sudden and dramatic personality change in my 8 year old. Fortunately he's a good kid and turned in to turbo-charged super boy rather than Mr. Naughtypants. But it's not normal! If he were normally angsty or aggressive, he could have really gone off the deep end. User beware. | M | 8 | 2 days 1X day | 2/25/2010 | 1 | Loss of sense of smell | Lethargic, nauseous every day now, appetite supressed as a result, generally feeling awful! | I couldn't figure out why I was starting to feel so unwell, particularly as I was eating well and exercising (New Year Resolution). I can only assume it is Nasonex. It also amazes me to read that others have lost their sense of smell since taking Nasonex - I was under the impression it may have helped me recover mine! Which it hasn't! | F | 48 | 21 days 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 1 | Ear Infection | Sinuses cleared up, but at the cost of EXTREME headaches, nausea, nose bleed, inability to sleep for more than 2hrs, nightmares, and became very easily agitated | Doctor gave me a free sample of Nasonex because my ear infection was causing my sinuses to swell up. The 4 days of taking nasonex was amongst the worst 4 days of my life. | M | 30 | 4 days 2sprays 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 3 | Nasal Polyps | Bloody dry uncomfortable nose, clear the nose and within an hour or so its very dry again. | Suffered with allergies and blocked nose for as long as I can remember, Nasonex has made me be able to breathe through my nose again although my sense of smell has not yet returned but I didnt have it to start with so maybe its gone forever :-( Overall Im doing ok on it so far! I'd rather be able to breathe through a dry nose than to be totally blocked. | F | 27 | 3 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | pollen allergies | tachycardio, elevated libido, nosebleeds. | I stopped doing two shots of this stuff, that is too strong. Ever since I scaled back to one per day the side effects disappeared, except for elevated libido. | M | 33 | 4 years 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | chronic nasal congestion | Infrequent double vision perhaps could be attributed to flonase. Also feel a general strain on my vision most days. I've stopped taking it for a week and my head feels less cloudy and my eyes not as strained. Eye doctor and GP have no idea why I've had double vision on and off. | It has been fantastic over the years. Been using on and off for at least five years, but finally thought maybe my infrequent eye problems are caused by flonase, so have stopped using for a while and my eye sight feels less strained. Will have to see if my double vision comes back. | F | 37 | 2 years 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 4 | Allergies | "Pimples" in my nose that makes my nose swell up a bit. | If anyone knows anything about that side effect, please email me! | F | 17 | 7 months 50 mcg 2X day | 2/14/2010 | 1 | sinus headaches | I ended up developping tons of pressure in my head, difficulty to swallow, shortness of breath, redness in neck, and fainted. It felt like I was having a heart attack and needed to be rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Felt better after 2 hours. Will go for acupuncture instead of taking meds for sinus headaches from now on. The strange thing is, I took Nasonex in Nov. 2009 without problems. | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 2/12/2010 | 3 | M | 44 | 5 years 1X day | 2/11/2010 | 1 | hay fever/allergies | extreme headaches, blurred vision, nausea | I started taking Nasonex at the recommendation of my doctor. My allergy symptoms went away immediately and I was thrilled! However, within 3 days I had what I thought was a migrain. I haven't been able to get the headache to go away but it does dim somewhat with OTC mecication. I didn't connect it to the medicine until yesterday when I started doing some research. I just found this site and I am floored at the number of people suffering from the same symptoms. As soon as I get home my Nasonex is going in the trash. I hope my headache goes away soon. | F | 39 | 2 weeks 2X day | 2/10/2010 | 1 | sinusitis | i only used once and i notice a terrible headache, ear pain and the most terrible thing is the loss of smell. i would not recomend this medicine at all. it can change your life in a very bad way. | F | 27 | 1 days 1X day | 2/9/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis/sinus infection | After 3 doses I had extreme throat pain (thought I had strep throat) and severe ear pain. Unfortunately I used one more dose after that before stopping use. I haven't used Nasonex in 3 days and the throat and ear pain has eased slightly but hasn't gone away. While using Nasonex I experienced pain in my arms and sore muscles. The arm and muscle pain has gone away but now to go along with the throat and ear pain I have viral pink eye and a nasty cough. All possible side effects I have since found out. | I would have dealt with the sinus pain and headaches had I known all the issues I would now suffer through from taking this medication. I will never use Nasonex again and am warning everyone I know. I will stick with my neti pot and saline sprays. This is the worst product out there. I have never had such a bad reaction to a product. | F | 36 | 2 days 50 MCG 2X day | 2/9/2010 | 3 | Sinus infection, post-nasal drip | disturbed sleep, waking every hour, but able to go back to sleep. Inadequate sleep makes me tired during the day. | it gave immediate relief for the symptoms of the sinus infection -- sinus headache and sore throat went away very quickly and post-nasal drip (drip is such a wrong word for this sticky mucus) went away gradually, but when I stop taking it (because of sleep problems mainly) the sore throat and post-nasal gunk start up again. For sinus infection, I think it just masks symptoms. | F | 64 | 30 days 4 x 50mcg 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 1 | Sinus congestion | I start to lose my sense of smell after about 2 month use but didn't realise that it could be related to Nasonex. Now I cannot smell anything and I cannot taste food properly. So when I decide to check for Nasonex side effects, I am surprised that so many other people have the same experience. My doctor think it is a wonder drug and doubt that I can get any side effects. | Will definitely stop taking it | F | 49 | 3 months 50 2X day | 2/6/2010 |
