| 1 | usual hayfever symptoms | havent had any of yet due to using first spray today | i never read info on medicine but i did with nasonex, was bit curious to find out more after reading leaflet. then stumbled upon this site and i think it is safe to say i wont be using nasonex again after these comments thanks everyone | M | 26 | 1 days | 6/30/2009 | 1 | seasonal allergies | nervousness, irritability, joint and muscle pain, anxiety | I went into using nasonex perfectly happy and healthy - thinking I was using this preventatively for seasonal allergies. Aside from the terrible symptoms I already listed a dr. diagnosed me 2 weeks later with 'steroid psychosis' after having a weekend-long panic attack that culminated in me almost going to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was fine for a while but I still am dealing with anxiety - something I never had in my life until after using this drug (3 dr. visits in 2 months since using nasonex). Threw this away and will never EVER use it or allow my kids to use it. This is scary medicine. | F | 38 | 5 days | 6/26/2009 | 2 | mal de debarquement & sinus trouble | OMG i feel so much better reading this website - i thought i was going nuts - i have anxiety, palpitations, chest 'heaviness' feeling like my heart is too large, feeling like i cant get breath, bloating and sore tummy (but i do have IBS anyway!), heaviness and tingling in my arms, feeling like im vibrating, feeling of bubling under my skin, nausea, feeling 'hungover', ear pain, headache. i have been convinced that i am REALLY ill, to the point that i have bought a blood sugar monitor and have been monitoring my blood sugar - i am also taking propanalol to manage my anxiety - i am so printing out this site and telling my doctor | F | 34 | 4 months | 6/24/2009 | 1 | Sinus Poylups | Immune system shut down, Blood glucose levels off the chart, loss of adrenal function, pituitary malfuncttion,low testosteron,headachs, vertigo,and all the symtomes related to above said conditions. I could list more | Doctors must get some form of Kick-Back because I cant believe that 10 plus Doctors could be that stupid,and not put any of the blood tests,symptoms,conditions,to the listed side effects.I am hoping to start a Class Action Lawsuit against the Company. | M | 45 | 900 days | 6/22/2009 | 2 | Allergy relief | I have been on Nasonex for quite awhile and the biggest side affect that I had was the loss of smell. I haven't been able to smell for five months. When I stopped using Nasonex and whiched to a different nose spray my since of smell is slowing coming back. | I would not recommend using this for a very long time. | F | 33 | 5 years | 6/16/2009 | 1 | Sinus problems | Nausea, tightness in chest, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety | I switched from Flonase to Nasonex after a doctor recommended it. I never had any trouble with Flonase, but I noticed some rather startling symptoms after using Nasonex for only a few weeks. I've been off it for a couple of days, and the side effects seem to be diminishing a little. | M | 35 | | 6/16/2009 | 2 | Allergy | Anxiety, heart pulpitation, chest tightness | I'm off Nasonex for 4 weeks but still have chest tightness. I wonder how long does it take to get rid of the simptoms? | M | 49 | 60 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | migraine prevention/rhinitis | Sore throat, headache, tiredness, general ick feeling | I'm sure this works great for allergies, but it didn't help my condition. It did break up my stuffy nose, but at the cost of feeling like I threw up pool water out of my nose even 20 hours later. It also caused a severe headache. I think I'd take this only if I had a severely clogged nose. It is worth a try, though, especially if you have nasal issues. | F | 20 | 3 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | Pre-Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment | My son was recommended to take Nasonex for a week prior to him receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. I gave it to him for 5 days and it completely changed his personality. He was irritable, angry, exhausted, CONSTIPATED!, cried for no apparent reason, and had nightmares that distressed him so much that he didn't want to go to sleep at night. | We stopped the Nasonex this morning. We will just hope that he does not have ear problems during the HBOT. I never imagined that Nasonex would cause those kind of issues for him because I didn't see any warnings about this kind of reaction in the package insert! | M | 9 | 5 days | 6/11/2009 | 5 | General Pollen Allergies | Barely any if at all. | Personally i'm pretty sensitive to allergy medication. I've gotten depressed off of both zyrtec and claritin so i'm pretty weary about new stuff. I take nasonex on a must-need basis and have had about a 95% success rating with it helping my allergies for at least 2 hours. Afterwards I still feel better as long as I don't mess with my face too much and wash my hands regularly. Usually It works for 4-8 hours per single squirt (each nostril) under decent conditions. The only time it is less effective is when i'm surrounded by pollen (like my sister's porch....) I can't say anything about effects of prolonged usage simply because this stuff aint cheap when you don't have insurance and I'm also paranoid now since i've had so many issues. | M | 23 | 2 years | 6/10/2009 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My doctor prescribed Nasonex for me after Flonase kept me very awake. For me the most noticable effect at first was the difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep. I had to sleep with the TV on to have something to focus my wandering thoughts on. Then I would doze and wake about every 15-20 minutes all night long. Other effects which I finally attributed to the Nasonex were, dry sore throat; anxiety; depression; shaking & tremors; loss of appetite & nausea; shallow, tight breathing; increased heart rate; dizziness; loud ringing & pain in ears; hot then cold flashes; feeling feverish all the time; somewhat irritable; blood pressure up slightly. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me and started to examine all different aspects of my life to see what might be making me feel so bad. On the fourth morning (today), just as I was reaching for the bottle of Nasonex, it dawned on me that that was the source of my trouble. I hope the shakes will stop soo | Even though Nasonex cleared my breathing (for part of the day), the side-effects are not worth it. I have gone back to using Vapo-Rub and irrigating my sinuses. Simplest is best. If I could rate this stuff a "zero", I would. THIS CHEMICAL IS POISON -- DON'T USE IT!!! | F | 53 | 4 days | 6/8/2009 | 2 | Sinus congestion | No significant side effects, except maybe a slightly dry throat. | I didn't experience any significant difference in my congestion while taking Nasonex. Note: I was taking Nasonex when I tried an Allegra-D 12-hour pill which spiked my blood pressure, caused high anxiety, and sleeplessness for 30 hours plus. Taking Nasoenx by itself, didn't seem to bother me. I don't know if Nasonex increased my bad reaction to the Allegra-D or not. | M | 63 | 14 days | 6/1/2009 | 1 | Allergies, runny nose | Tremors,high blood pressure, knife like chest pains, stomach pain, anxiety, headaches that lasted hours. | After 10 days and two trips to the cardiologist's office, I threw this medicine in the trash. The side effects started within 2 minutes of taking this lethal drug. I usually have low BP (108/70) but it climbed to 160/90 in one week! The chest pains were freaky. Now I have to have several cardiology tests to make sure I'm ok. | F | 65 | 10 days | 6/1/2009 | 1 | Acute sinusitis | Severe nausea ,chronic belching and vomiting within a few hours of taking the first dose. It lasted for twelve hours. | I am on drugs for lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure. I took the first dose of Nasonex mixed with Otrivin (pediatric dose) perscribed by the doctor at about noon. Within a few hours I became very nauseated and then started deep belching and vomiting. This lasted throughout the night and finally stopped at around 2am. I will NEVER take this medicine again. I had no idea what was going on. I thought I needed to go to the emergency room. I then realizd that the only thing that was different was the Nasonex I had taken. My sinuses did feel better in the morning but NOTHING is worth how awful I felt. I finally was able to eat again in the morning. I've since asked friends and found similar stories. They need to let you know about this potential horrible side effect. | M | 67 | 1 days | 5/30/2009 | 3 | orbital celulitis & blocked sinuses | none | My 4 yr. old child hasn't had any of the side effects/symptoms described. Reason for taking: She had a hospital stay due to orbital cellulitis (infection of tissues around eye). Six weeks later a CAT scan revealed there was still sinus blockage. The ENT prescribed this (to be taken for 3 months) to relieve the blockage. After reading the posts I will talk with my doctor again, and am glad we will only be taking for 3 months. Can't say I am satisfied or not because we probably won't do another CAT scan to see if the sinus is cleared. Personally I would recommend NASAL IRRIGATION to anyone who has sinus problems. It is natural and it works!! It can be done with children and I will probably consider trying this with my child if she is willing. | F | 4 | 1 months | 5/29/2009 | 5 | Allergies | None | My son took this medication for a while and had no side effects whatsoever. Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it. | F | 33 | 1 years | 5/27/2009 | 1 | allergies | terrible congestion. especially in one nostril. i have been having anxiety attacks that are scary. terrible headaches. fatigue and depression. lose of appetite. high blood pressure. and now i have a upper respiratory infection and i just got over one a few weeks ago. | I just threw away my prescription of nasonex and have no intention of ever taking it again. Anyone listening! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. There is a natural remedy for allergies and it works much better than any pharmacitical garbage. Its called CAYENNE. Drink a warm cup of Cayenne (tsp) with lemon water every morning and you'd be surprised how better you feel. It clears up congestion immediately and you have an overall sense of well being. Best of all it is NATURAL. God Bless you all. | F | 8 days | 5/26/2009 | 4 | Seasonal sinusitis | Slight bloody taste in back of throat right after spraying it. | Has really helped both me and my 7 year old daughter with no noticeable side effects. For a while, my daughter had a decreased appetite, but it eventually rebounded and may have been coincidental to the use of Nasonex. | M | 41 | 1 months | 5/25/2009 | 5 | Rhinitis | Occassional bloody nose, some increase in frequency of sinus infections | Worked great. I had a perpetual stuffed nose and sinus headaches, Nasonex cleared these problems right up. The CNS comments here surpise me, I am pretty sensitive to many medicines and experienced no such issues whatsoever. I am only discontinuing it because our medical insurance wants us to switch to a cheaper medicine (generic Flonase). I hope the generic works as well as Nasonex did for me. | F | 51 | 3 years | 5/24/2009 | 5 | allergies | no side effects (other than a brief sore throat-like effect right after the spray that lasts only a few minutes) | It really helps with my allergies, and the best benefit: no sleepiness like with most antihistamines (yes, even "non-drowsy" antihistamines make me sleepy). | F | 43 | 1 years | 5/23/2009 |
