| 1 | sinus infection | SEVERE headache after one dose. | Debilatating head pain that caused nausea and vomiting. Has been three days since first and only dose, headache is getting better slowly. Can now get relief with OTC pain relievers. Standing up and sudden head movements still causing pounding head pain. Did have some anxiety and moodiness. These symptoms improved after 36 hours of stopping Nasonex. Not worth taking. | F | 34 | 1 days 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | Tinnitus | Bloody snot, uncomfortably dry nose, headaches, nausea and heart palpitations | I went to the doctor complaining of a "wooshing" sound in one ear, he prescribed me steroids that didn't take it away so I went to an ENT who prescribed me more of the same steroids, antibiotics and nasonex... none of which helped. I ended up with all these side effects that i didn't have with the first round of steroids and i knew how my body reacted to antibiotics. After both of those were done i was still on the nasonex and the symptoms all continued. I finally quit taking it when I couldnt stand the pain in my nose and the bleeding. In the end I found out that all my ear issues stem from me breaking my jaw when I was four. | F | 25 | 17 days 50 MG 2X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | sinus infections | anxiety | my 3 year old was taking this for a month -- never has anxiety problems before but while taking it some anxiety kicked in now being off it -- the anxiety level has shoot thru the roof. anyone else have these issues with there children | F | 3 | 30 days | 2/1/2010 | 2 | acute sinus problems | All of them | I posted back on the 14th and I went cold Turkey with this medication. Took 5 days of hell to get over all the effects. However my sinus problems became more acute and I tried several over the counter remedies. None were successful. I gave in and started back on the spray. What a stupid fool I was. Now feeling like hell again and having to return home to UK after only a week of a two month trip. I am at a loss and manic at present but will be in the Drīs on Thursday all being well. Three day drive from here home. Please dont use it but I just do not know what to do with myself, My poor wife is very supportive but I am in hell at present. I have been on this for approx 7 years. | M | 64 | | 1/31/2010 | 3 | eustacian tube closure | I suppose I can't say definitively it was Nasonex, but I've been taking it for two weeks (water behind the eardrum due to eustacian tube closure, so my dr. prescribed Nasonex and ampicillin), and I've been lethargic. At the end of the two weeks also very depressed. I really hope it wears off soon. | It cleared up my ear proble, but I really don't want to take it again if, in fact, it was the cause of my depression. It affected my job, my workout regimen, my school, sleep patterns, etc. | M | 42 | 2 weeks | 1/30/2010 | 3 | Sinus congestion | Tight chest, sore chest muscles, lack of a sense of smell | At this stage I have not stopped using it... but having read the comments here, and correlated the onset of symptons, it appears I should stop using it for a while, and see what happens | M | 53 | 30 days | 1/27/2010 | 1 | Ear irritation, coughing | Sore throat on side of ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | Not sure if Nasonex is releasing some pathogens that were trapped in my ear, but I definitely feel a lot worse after taking it. | M | 36 | 2 days | 1/25/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Complete loss of smell & therefore 90% of taste | Stopped taking spray 5 Jan 2010 - still no change in ability to smell. Unable to smell even coffee beans, smoke etc. I hope that I will be able to regain my sense of smell - would not recommend this drug to anyone. | M | 65 | 14 days | 1/25/2010 | 1 | ear problems due to allergies | relief from symptoms but racing heart, increased anxiety, and raised blood pressure | the last time i saw my dr. before just a few months prior to starting this drug, my bp was 98/70. a couple of months after starting nasonex, i noticed i was having heart palpitations and what i can only desribe as near-panic attacks. i'd never experienced any problems like this before. also saw the dr. for another problem around that time, and my bp was 140/?. this persisted until i decided to test out the nasonex connection. i tapered myself off and sure enough felt normal again within a few weeks. bp is normal again, too. i think this drug is borderline scary. | F | 33 | 4 months | 1/24/2010 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | Hi i used this for years on and off no real problems except slight loss of taste and smell. This time it unclogged the tube but now i have a viral infection of the mouth my eyes were blurry and i was depressed as well as exausted. Have been off for a week and i already feel better mentaly but i still have the mouth sores.Im now on an anti viral med. My vision is improving and im not as tired as i was. I know it was the nasonex. I will never use again. | Bad stuff I would rather suffer. | M | 49 | 9 months | 1/24/2010 | 2 | Hay Fever / Congested Ears | I successfully used Nasonex seasonally for 5 years. It was wonderful for hay fever. 2 weeks ago I had a head cold. After the cold symptoms went away, my left ear was congested. My doctor recommended using Nasonex and Clariton simultaneously. I did that for 4 days. On day 5, my ear was better but the vision in my right eye became very distorted - to the point of not being able to work on my computer. I went to an optometrist and my primary physician. Both ruled out Nasonex and Clariton and started guessing more serious conditions. Well, after searching the net (this site in particular) I found many people with the same reaction. My distortions are less and less each day - almost back to normal after one week. | M | 45 | 4 days | 1/23/2010 | 2 | sinus infection | Serious virus infecion of the mouth. Swollen gums, sore teeth. | Can't definitely blame Nasonex, but I did hear on one of their TV commercials that a possible side effect was viral infections. Since I have a serious one in my mouth--but am on all sorts of other medications as well, including Levaquin antibiotic--I can't point to Nasonex without question. I've discontinued use to see if my mouth improves. | F | 65 | 9 days | 1/23/2010 | 2 | Allergies | I already have some problems being around certain people, but under this medication those feeling were aggravated. At one point I had violent thoughts go through my head and I never experience this. I also became depressed while on the medication. I didn't experience much improvement with allergies either. I'm off this one and taking natural remedies for my allergies. After Singulair and now this I don't have too much faith in the health system. Its because they fail to acknowledge the benefits of good nutrition. | M | 25 | 11 days | 1/21/2010 | 5 | Sinus infections | Have not experienced any so far. Have had no sinus headaches, or pressure since I started on it. Feel better than I have in ages. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 1/19/2010 | 4 | chronic sinusitis | headaches | i refuse to take it again..i cannot deal with the headache all day | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/18/2010 | 2 | post-nasal drip | Headaches since day 1 of use. | My doctor told me this medicine is slow acting, and indeed can see a bit of improvement. However it simply isn't a worthy tradeoff for the migranes which have been getting worse - so I will discotinue use. | M | 26 | 4 days | 1/18/2010 | 1 | severe sinus/allergies | Just realized that Nasonex is the cause of how I have been feeling. For the past week, I've had severe headaches. nausea and always is tired. I went to the ER several times in the past weeks b/c the pain was so unbearable, but still no answers. However, once I realized a side effect of Nasonex is headaches, I stopped taking it. My head still hurts though but not as bad as it did last week. I'm glad I found this website, I feel at ease knowing that this is the cause of my pain, now I just want to know how long these side effects last. | F | 26 | 1 months | 1/18/2010 | 1 | stuffy nose Rhinitis/Sinusitis | severe anxiety, panic attacks, couldn't sleep, trouble swallowing, only was getting 2 or so hours of sleep a night and going crazy. | This is my 2nd post.. I posted 1st on 1/13/10. I still had all the sleeping problems and panic attacks. On the 15th my anxiety carried over to the morning. I made an appt with my primary doctor at 10am that morning. I had a pulse of 132, my BP was 152/98 my temp was 99.7. I had all the proof that the nasonex was causing my problems but he really didn't believe me and diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and put me on prozac. My problems didn't start until i started using nasonex every night. I will never use it again and I wish I could say that my anxiety is gone since it has been like 6 since i stopped using it but its still there. This drug is evil. GO TO THE NASONEX WEBSITE AND SUBMIT YOUR SIDE EFFECTS TO THE FDA. IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE. Don't let your child use this spray. I have been using the Neti Pot, it helps to clear my nose. Good Luck.. | F | 30 | 10 days | 1/17/2010 | 5 | chronic allergic rhinitis | Initially a dry nose and a little blood but only in the first month. If I breath in too much I can taste it a bit in my throat. Small price to pay for the relief it gives. | After 3 & 1/2 years I was allergy tested and no reaction to the 40 main culprits. But still I was so bad it would lay me up in bed and take a day to get over after a bad attack and in-between bad bouts my nose was constantly blocked and/or runny 24 hrs a day. I would have to lay on my back so that it could run down my throat as I couldn't blow my nose often enough to keep up. Like having a severe constant head cold for over 3 years. Was continually taking allergy tabs and decongestant sprays to make me feel half normal even though the sprays aren't good for the nasal passages and the tablets never made a major difference. The doctor prescribed Nasonex to try and it took affect after a few days. I BEGAN TO FEEL NORMAL AGAIN. No more bloodshot eyes or watery noses or waking up at night unable to breath. It is the best thing I have tried. No drowsiness, sleep like a baby, have a slow and steady heart beat, my taste and smell is fine. I would prefer to know why I am so allergic but would need much more intensive testing. It really did help. From what I can read it seems to work best with allergy suffers. The side effects mentioned here sounds scary but I have not had a one and am very happy with how it has managed to help me. I still occasionally get blocked and still use a nasal decongestant but that is usually if I drop my doses. | F | 49 | 8 months | 1/15/2010 | 1 | Sinus Infection | I am completely flabbergasted. My parents seem to have taken Nasonex without an issue but I had a lot of problems. After taking 2x twice a day for 2.5 days, things got worse quickly. The day after my first dose, I had heart palpitations and my leg muscles were sore. I continued to take it and could not sleep due to heart palp. The final day of taking it, I did not sleep at all. I have stopped since the final day and I am still fending off against the side-effects - anxiety, heart palp, lack of appetite. I should say that my sore legs are a bit better. | I am going back to the Doctor's to get a antibiotic to clear the sinus infection. I am going to continue to use the saline rinse. Please, save yourselves from this drug. The night after stopping, my heart was pounding so much and I was sweating so much I considered going to the ER. | M | 25 | 2.5 days | 1/15/2010 |
