| 1 | chronic nasal drip from allergies | Nasal drip better but severe sore throat, tightness in chest, headache, sleeplessness worse every day. To the trash! | F | 48 | 3 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Sinus | Mild heart palpitations the first day of use. Upset stomach and cold sweats. I felt as though I wanted to vomit a few times, but never did. | While it did relieve pressure in my head, it caused other side effects as mentioned in my previous paragraph. I'll continue taking it until the pressure has subsided completely. | M | 25 | 2 days | 1/4/2008 | 1 | sinusitis | change of moods, aggressive outbursts, bad sleeping, heavy breathing, funny cracking sounds from breathing, depressions | M | 50 | 150 days | 1/3/2008 | 1 | sinus congestion/allergies | bloating of stomah...you may think that you are putting on weight,but honestly its just that you are bloated..if you stop taking the product it goes away.its caused lowered sex drive and weak erection.Does cause skin irritation...but you can take an anitihistamine with it to counteract this.lowered energy levels.Its also making me on edge..its like im ready for an argument...hard to control myself..not usually like that.however...the product is very effective at erradicating allergy type symptoms suck as blocked sinuses..sneezing..runny nose...sinus headache.it did not unblock my left ear..so eardrops would be needed for this.oh yea and it gives me acne...spots on my skin. | I would not use this product...but i don't have a choice...since using decongestants gives you that rebound effect when you stop using it..meaning your nose gets use to the decongestant..and gets blocked if you stop using the product...shouldn't use for more than 3 days max..very bad.allergy shots can take upto 6 months to have an effect at suppressing the allergic response to a substance.antihistamines don't stop my sinuses from geting blocked...god wot a dilemma. | M | 23 | 7 days | 1/2/2008 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | No side effects | Nasonex is a lifesaver. I was having chronic sinus infections. I could not work or go to school or function at all, and antihistimines didn't help. I am nearly completely allergy free with Nasonex. The only thing I worry about is that it will lose its effectiveness, so every few months I take a short break from it. Nasonex is not an anabolic steroid. That's not to say it couldn't have rare side effects for a minority of people, but it seems many people's imaginations have gotten the better of them. | M | 29 | 1 years | 12/21/2007 | 4 | seasonal sinus infections | Had been working great, then I needed to refill the prescription now my chest hurts, burning. I have read some of the comments and I am now going to stop using it. How long does it usually take for those awful symptoms to go away? | F | 56 | 8 months | 12/21/2007 | 4 | Mucus draining down back of throat | Did't know if related or not. Thirstier than before and lots hungrier. Of course, eating more has led to weight gain that I was already fighting. My migraines have increased somewhat. | The Nasonex has decreased the constant drainage down the back of my throat. I was ALWAYS swallowing. It would make me cough, too. Wake me up at night coughing. Now I'm not sure what to do. Keep going or quit! | F | 62 | 1 months | 12/20/2007 | 1 | Severly swollen nasal passages | jittery, felt as if I were being driven by a motor one minute and tired and weak the next. Felt sick allover, very nervous, anxious and agitated. Fast heart rate and cough. Insomnia, and a disgusting metallic taste that I couldn't get out of my mouth. | This drug is absolutely poision..I will never use it again. The pharmacy acted like well that is unusual for nasonex but I guess it could happen just stop taking it. So none for me today or ever again I threw it away, I wonder how long it takes for this stuff to leave your system. Soon I hope! | F | 32 | 5 days | 12/20/2007 | 1 | sinus problems | ANXIETY! I also could not sleep no matter how tired I was. I am so glad I found this site because I thought I was losing my mind. To top it off it did NOTHING for my sinuses. | F | 55 | 7 days | 12/19/2007 | 3 | Sinus infection | Jittery, light headed, tightness in chest, hungry all the time. overly irritable. | Stopped using it. | M | 32 | 5 days | 12/17/2007 | 2 | enlarged adenoids, runny nose | My son began stuttering about 10 days after he started taking this med. Has anyone else experienced this? | M | 5 | 14 days | 12/17/2007 | 1 | son's post nasal drip | 9 year old son took drug at night, next day came home from school complaining he couldn't swallow. Woke up several times in the middle of the night very disoriented and somewhat irrational. Also seems to be producing more mucous. After reading other entries, I am throwing medicine in the garbage. If I only had read this website first, I would never have started him using spray!!! | F | 45 | 2 days | 12/12/2007 | 1 | nasal congestion, asthma | extreme anxiety, agression, flushed face, pounding heart with iregular heartbeats, thrashing arms and legs, holding head and crying, unable to sleep or be calmned down - episode lasted 3 hours | My 4 1/2 yr old grandson who is usually good natured, sweet and easily distracted from any bad behaviour scared me to death within 2 hours of 1 spray in each nostril. Parents report some similar agression but had not linked it to Nasonex dosing. Thank you for this website, I was certain his behaviour was due to this drug, pounding and irregular heartbeats do not come from being over-tired. | F | 56 | 6 months | 12/5/2007 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | none so far, but i have been to 3 doctors about my chronic allergies and this is the only thing that has worked | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 12/4/2007 | 3 | NASONEX | I was prescribed this as I was suffering from buzzing noise in my ears day and night and Dr though it would help equalise the pressure in my ears. I started to use this and it did stop the buzzing but the main symptom i exoerienced was my left eye twitched. All in all it worked for me but I only took it for a week | F | 39 | 7 days | 12/4/2007 | 3 | chronic sinus allergies | Caused a shingles outbreak on my face resulting in some nerve damage to my eye/distorted vision). Did suppress the nasal allergy response however. | I would recommend getting a shingles/chickenpox vaccine prior to taking this medication. | M | 34 | 6 weeks | 11/27/2007 | 3 | Congestion/Nasally Voice | My six year old son's pediatrician prescribed this for a nasally voice and congestion related to the seasonal allergy. He has been taking it for about two weeks now and he has had no side effects for ear infections, headache, sleeplessness, or stomach ache. However, he does seem to be more irritable and disagreeable since starting to take it. This orneriness seems to heighten at evening-time before he gets his dose although he gets argumentative throughout the day now. Not sure if his current disposition is related, but thought it was worth adding this note since he is usually pretty agreeable and laid-back. My son still talks nasally which could just be habit now, but he is not congested at night now. This is a big relief since he has been congested since he was a baby. We'll continue for the few weeks the doc suggested and go from there. | The pediatrician said that the nasal spray does not enter into the blood stream like other steroids do. However, I don't understand how it can't to some degree since it goes into the tissues of the nose. I guess I would look further into it if my son had the more severe side effects like some here I have read about or if he would need to take it all the time. | M | 6 | 14 days | 11/27/2007 | 2 | allergies all year round | Severe heart palpitation (had to go through heart test but they did'nt find anything), chest pain = feel like someone is sitting on my chest, short of breath. Cleared the nose though. Did'nt realise all my symptom came from this medicine before I found this website. Thought I had heart problems. Really scary! | F | 26 | 1 years | 11/27/2007 | 1 | Ear conjestion | Severe breathing restriction & hives. Shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling. | This medication did not work with me. I have never had an allergic reation to a medication & I have taken other steriods before, like prednizone, but I really thought this stuff was going to kill me. I couldn't breathe for 2 days over Thanksgiving holidays. I almost went to the ER. My BP went up to 168/116. I only took this for 3 days & I have had the effects of the reaction for the last 5 days. | M | 38 | 3 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | rhinitis | heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, general sleeplessness, inability to fall back to sleep at night, reduced libido | I used to sleep like a baby .. anywhere .. anytime. My symptoms have built up slowly over time. I have been taking it for about 8 months. After having read the reviews on this site, I am going to stop taking it immediately and hope that these symptoms go away soon. | M | 43 | 8 months | 11/25/2007 |
