| 1 | Rhinitis | My GP changed my medication to Nasonex after many years on Becanase. After only two weeks on this medication I developed a sinus infection, headaches, aching jaws, earache, tinnitus, visual disturbances, feelings of being spaced out, aching upper arms and anxiety. I have been off it a few days now and am feeling much better but not yet back to normal. Will never take this again or recommend it to anyone. | F | 67 | 14 days | 11/21/2009 | 1 | sinus infection | On first day experienced weird images and sensations when I went to bed. Pounding music and vivid violent images when I tried to sleep. Also had nightmares. | Foul taste in mouth and loss of smell. Terrible pain in jaw and teeth. No noticeable improvement in sinus infection after nearly a week of 2 sprays twice a day. Am stopping this drug today and will try nasal irrigation with saline. | F | 40 | 6 days | 11/21/2009 | 1 | hayfever | headache, anxiety, extreme panic attacks, insomnia, nausea | I took this for 3 days and by the second day i had a headache. On the third I had such a bad anxiety attack I nearly threw up. I then woke up that night with a panic attack. I never have these. Put two and two together and stopped using this, totally regret it!!!. However since I stopped I have had insomnia on two occasions and today had such a bad panic attack at work over nothing and i started shaking uncontrollably. Very very scary side effects, I have been feeling unwell all week and I wonder when it will stop. Went to doctor and they totally disregarded that it could all be from Nasonex, told me I might need to be on anti-depressants!!! Dr's are a crock, dont trust them. | F | 29 | 3 days | 11/20/2009 | 1 | cronic sinus infection | I have absolutely no sense of smell or taste after taking Nasonex for 2 months. I just realized this last night; I called the pharmacist to inquire about the side affects of my meds. She suggested Nasonex could cause loss of smell and taste. I called my dr. this morning and talked to his nurse explaining the symptoms I was experiencing. I asked if the meds would cause loss of smell and taste. She said to keep my appointment 10 days from now. Stay on my meds. and then the dr. would evaluate my symptoms. She showed no concern. It was only after I told her that the pharmacist suggested that these symptoms could be caused by Nasonex that she went to speak with the dr. and came back saying that I should discontinue the Nasonex. | Your pharmacist is so much more educated on effects of meds than your doctor or nurse. | F | 62 | 60 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | sinuses | i have used nasonex for 2 days and suffered with wheezing and a bad cough, i also got flu sypthoms. i was fine before i used this spray. also i have been having really bad nightmares and not being able to sleep properly, i feel tired and dizzy and have loss of Concentration, i would not use this again | F | 23 | 2 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | Sinus | Loss of sleep and extreme headache. I took one dose and awoke in middle of night and wide awake all night plus caused terrible headache. Nausea feeling and spaced out next day. Didn't help anything and gave me bad side effects above. I will not take this again. | F | 43 | 1 days | 11/11/2009 | 5 | Blocked Nose | None as yet. I find it works very well to clear my nose. | I have been taking Nasonex for a year, I only use as required (worst time effected is during Sept - Nov, Australian Spring) My prescribed dose is 2 puf each nostril, once a day for first week then as required. 1 Bottle lasts me 12 mths. | F | 28 | 1 years | 11/8/2009 | 1 | sinuses | cold like symptoms within a day of taking the nasal spray like runny nose pain around my eye and sore throat down one side and bad headache | dont recommend taking it makes you feel worse | F | 29 | 3 days | 11/1/2009 | 4 | congestion, sinus infections | I've been using Nasonex for about 4-5 years now and it has helped to keep my sinuses clear. However, I just got back from the eye doctor and he informed me that my eye pressure was high - just under the kind of pressure that indicates glaucoma (19-20). Now I'm reading comments from people who have had similar issues. I want to talk with my doctors and figure this out. While Nasonex has definitely helped, I won't continue it if it may harm my eyesight, obviously. | M | 44 | 5 years | 10/30/2009 | 1 | Polyps | It helped clear my sinuses / shrink polyps. However, my doctor suggested I take it twice a day for the REST of my life. After approximately one month, I got a really bad sinus infection. My eyes got swollen and I had severe headaches. After month three I started experiencing depression and anxiety. I also had a recurring sinus infection. I did not think it was the Nasonex so I continued to take it and my depression got worse to the point of having suicidal thoughts. Uncontrollable bouts of crying. I also started getting a bit aggressive. Someone told me that I must have been taking drugs. I laughed it off at first and then I read the report done by Jane Pauley on steroids in medications. She too was having the symptoms I was having. I confronted my doctor and he totally disagreed with me. He even wanted to put me on a different steriod. Sounds like "Big Pharma" and monetary kickbacks to me but thats another story. In any case, I stopped taking the medication because I was at | DON"T USE IT . If you must use it. Do not use long term. NO LONG TERM STUDIES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED!!! | M | 43 | 1 years | 10/28/2009 | 5 | Allergies + Snoring | Complete and utter satisfaction. | I have used Nasonex for 3 years usually every night, sometime every other night with no side effects or problems. I started to really get worried reading all the horror stories some people are having on here. WOW, you need to seek medical attention!!! | M | 45 | 3 years | 10/23/2009 | 1 | Pediatric Allergies | Loss of appetite, agression , sleeplessness, anxiety, irritability, night terrors, constipation, viral infections..... | At 14mths my son was prescribed Nasonex for "allergies".He had persistant ear infections post year tubes. Initially I thought it was wonderful-ear infection free. Approx 6 mths into taking Nasonex I started to wonder if my child was truely this very unhappy aggressive non eater/sleeper. Don't get me wrong he has a short fuse, but on occaision I have considered calling 911. When I started to document situations I came to believe my child is bipolar or something he's consuming has horrendous side effects. He only takes Nasonex ... so after 10mths of Nasonex my child no longer takes it. I now have a hungry tired pleasant toddler with "normal" tantrums. And what amazes me the most is his pleasant disposition. My advice is not to give to young children who are unable to vocalize their symptoms. I don't know how my son felt, but in his case actions speak louder than words. | M | 2 | 10 months | 10/23/2009 | 3 | constant blocked nose | over the past few weeks have been experiencing a shortnes of breath at night only getting a few hours sleep at a time. | clears the nose | M | 57 | 5 months | 10/19/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion, post nasal drip | chest tightness, increased heart rate, palpitations, severe anxiety to the point of panic attacks | thought i was going crazy, so glad to see this site! | F | 29 | 30 days | 10/17/2009 | 3 | Nasal polyps allergies | Severe joint pains which move from place to place, especially fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, hips, knees. Also minor nose bleeds. | Tried stopping Nasonex for 2 weeks, joint pains disappeared after 3 days. Resumed Nasonex last week, joint pains back in full force. | F | 43 | | 10/14/2009 | 2 | Hay Fever | Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason. | I have now been off Nasonex since I originally posted the side effects listed here in July and can safely say all but one of these symptoms have gone and did so within a few days of stopping Nasonex, my memory unfortunately has not recovered as of yet, I am however left with panic attacks from the episodes of shortness of breath and feeling as if I was going to faint, these now occur in any stressful situation. I would not recommend this drug to anyone and am now undergoing cognitive therapy to reverse the damage caused, give me hayfever any day. | F | 38 | 2 months | 10/12/2009 | 1 | Sinusitis | Headaches, nose bleeds, jaw pain, and dizziness followed by steroid withdrawl symptoms after quitting. | Don't know if I'm the only one to experience this, but I quit taking Nasonex 6 days ago. Within 2 days, the problems caused by the stuff were gone, but as the days went on, my body felt weaker and weaker, it felt like my heart was having a hard time beating, and I was extremely depressed. 4 days after quitting, my period started...but it had just ended 9 days before, and I’ve never had any sort of menstrual irregularity in my past. Going to my doctor tomorrow to see HOW I can get off Nasonex without falling apart. I'd recommend talking to your doctor before stopping immediately. | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/11/2009 | 1 | Sinusitis | My allergist recommended this medication to help un-stuff my sinuses. For the first few weeks, it seemed to do the job, but around week six, I started to notice some things that just weren’t right. My arms kept going numb, I was having chest pains (went to the emergency room for these. $1000 for a musculoskeletal pain diagnosis), difficulty concentrating, and my sinuses started bleeding although I had not been around any my allergen (I’m only allergic to cats). By week 11, I had a full-on sinus infection, pink-eye, jaw stiffness, headaches so severe that it felt like my skull was about to cave in, intense sinus pressure, nose bleeds, numbness and poor circulation in my limbs, dizziness, and vision problems. The worst of it were the EXTREME mood swings and anxiety, which actually caused me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist because I honestly felt as though I was going mad. It didn’t hit me until 2 days ago that my condition was worse following a dose of Nasone | It seems like this med works for some people, but be wary of any just-not-right pains or feelings while taking it. I wish that I had found this site sooner; I could have ceased taking Nasonex while the symptoms were minor. My life has been turned upside down for weeks: my marriage, school, work, finances, and social life have all suffered dramatically due to this stupid spray. I'd take back my stuffy nose any day if this experience (and pain) could just be wiped permanently from my history! | F | 26 | 12 weeks | 10/8/2009 | 1 | Problem with ear after flying | On it for 6 days along with prednisone. At first it seemed to work great, cleared sinus and got relief. Now ear is back to being clogged AND I suddenly realized tonight my great NYC water does not taste right. Neither does bottled water, I have a metallic taste in my mouth which is why I checked for side effects cause it seemed really weird. | I know my body and the meds and supplements I'm on. I've had prednisone before. Nasonex is the only factor that is different. Also had an extreme burning sensation in the back of my nose with one dose. I am glad I found this website and am stopping this stuff immediately. This stuff is poison. Guess the pharma industry had to push out the perfectly good generic of Flonase for profit. Thank you FDA for protecting the interests of us consumers, ha! I hope those of us with affected taste and smell get our senses back! | F | 56 | 6 days | 10/8/2009 | 1 | for Sinus and ear pain | I starting having nightmares, problems sleeping and aches and pains in my neck, joints and back. I also felt exhausted,anxious,nervous and felt bloated. I then kept feeling a tightness in my chest like severe heartburn. I thought I had indigestion but it lasted for days. Then I thought it was a virus with the tiredness and aches but then wondered if it was the nasonex. I looked it up on the website and I am pleased I did. I will not be taking it any more it is going in the bin. Thank goodness I read the website. | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 10/6/2009 |
