| 3 | nasal stuffiness, sinus irritation | Bloody nasal discharge, occasional bouts of painful, raw feeling nasal area (perhaps because of bleeding?) These symptoms seem to occur more when there is a low-pressure weather system. | Tryingo to wean myself off of it a bit - only one squirt a day in each nostril instead of two... | F | 37 | 3 years | 4/10/2007 | 2 | my 4 yr-old- nasal congestion | extreme irritability, short-tempered, hyper, leg pain and earache | My son just turned 4 and was prescribed Nasonex for severe, ongoing nasal congestion. I couldn't figure out why he was being so difficult, especially since we had 4 days of one-on-one time together, which he would normally have been much better behaved for that. He was extremely volatile. It was the most challenging 4 days ever with my son - I was ready to go get a prescription of my own of a different sort to calm my nerves from it. Then it dawned on me that it was the same time he started taking the medicine a week ago that his behavior problems ramped up. None of these things were listed in the pamphlet of possible side effects, yet they seem to be prevalent from users in this posting. Thanks for the feedback everyone! | M | 4 | 7 days | 4/9/2007 | 3 | Stuffy nose, post nasal drip | I feel hungry all the time. I have also been experiencing anxiety and nervousness. My nerves are on edge and I am feeling out of sorts. Also have some dizziness and blurred vision and a mild headache. | The medicine has helped with my allergies, but the side effects are too bothersome to continue taking the medicine. I will stop it. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 4/6/2007 | 2 | Drug-free antihistimine | Burning nasal passage sensation, MASSIVE headaches (daily, mid-afternoon), developed cough, swollen / severely inflamed throat (pain when swallowing or coughing). | I suddenly developed allergies this year...great. I've taken everything from Alavert, Sudafed, Claritin, Flonase, Nasacort, and Nasonex. I was so tired of spending money on drugs that had minimal effectiveness with, what seemed to me, maximum adverse side-effects that I decided there HAD to be another way to combat seasonal allergies, effectively. NOTE: since I took myself off of all the allergy medications and nasal sprays (almost 2 weeks ago) and started doing the following, I have had no allergy symptoms, no trouble breathing, sleeping, or smelling. Here's what I do: buy Ginger root, cut off a 1-inch piece, peel and crush (don't puree), place crushed root in tea ball & steep in 8 oz hot water for 10 min's. Drink it. I do this once a day (everyday) after dinner about an hour before bed. I wake up in the morning, drink my coffee, blow my nose and I'm great the rest of the day. Absolutely NO SIDE EFFECTS! It might take a couple of cups / days before you notice a difference, | F | 37 | 1 weeks | 4/5/2007 | 2 | Allergies & severe nasal congestion | Headache, nausea, upset stomach, muscle aches, sleeplessness | I made a visit to the ENT doctor after several plaguing months of sinus congestion and no relief from over-the-counter meds. The doctor decided I must have developed some allergies as I have gotten older. She administered Nasonex in the office and gave me the sample to try. It has only been one day of use and I could not sleep at all last night, I developed a headache, my muscles started aching and I felt like I was going to be physically ill. I thought it was a mild case of the flu. I know it has been only one day but is it coincidence or not? I am very leary now and going to call the ENT doctor back for suggestions. | F | 38 | 1 days | 3/30/2007 | 4 | Allergic Rhinitis | jittery, weight gain, irritability | this stuff works - try it for yourself before believing any of the negative comments you may find here | M | 42 | 3 months | 3/29/2007 | 2 | allergies | bloody muscus, increased nasal drainage, tingling sensation in hands and feet | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 3/29/2007 | 2 | allergies | Heaviness/pressure in chest which made it difficult to breath, especially when exercising, racing heart which didn't start until after having taken it for a couple of weeks | It did seem to clear up nasal stuffiness, but at too big a price...Am relieved to see that others have experienced the same types of side effects while taking this drug. It can make you think something is seriously wrong | F | 45 | 1 months | 3/25/2007 | 1 | fluid in ears | My 2 year old son woke up in the middle of the night screaming of pain in his ears after only 2 doses. Doctor did not think it was the Nasonex and wanted me to continue the medication. I refused and he has not had any pain in his ears since coming off the medication. Use with caution on children! | M | 2 | 2 days | 3/23/2007 | 1 | Allergies | At first I loved the Nasonex. I was finally able to breathe. After about 3 weeks of use I started getting POUNDING headaches, a sore throat, and VERY irritable. I will never use again and will warn people about it! | WHY do we take things that our doctors get paid for prescribing? The next time my doctor prescribes something to me I will do my research and find out all the side effects before using! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme irritability, sore throat, POUNDING headaches, dry sinuses, no sleep | This will be the last time I take a prescription that my doctor gets paid for prescribing without knowing in full ALL of the symptoms. I'm still experiencing the side effects and haven't taken Nasonex in three days now! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 | 5 | hay fever symptoms | shockingly sore throat one time after years of happy, seasonal use | After I got the sore throat that one time, I asked my Dr. He said I should lean forward and keep the Nasonex in the first part of my nose, even if some drips out again, as that's where it's needed and I shouldn't let it drop down into my throat. Doing that has avoided the throat so now I can just enjoy the benefits. It's a life saver in hay fever season. | F | 51 | 3 years | 3/17/2007 | 4 | ear infection and sinus | Only a dry nose and possibly nose membranes bleeding a little | I feel that this really helped me along with the antibiotic Omnicef. The bacteria settled in my ear and nasonex helped to get to the ear. | F | 65 | 7 days | 3/16/2007 | 5 | sinusitis | Lately, I've been plagued by a mysterious persistent burning wood or smoky smell. It causes a tightening or heaviness in the chest and occasional coughing. I'm wondering if these can be side effects. Has anyone else had a similar experience? | The medication cured my sinusitis completely. I expect the pressure in my ears to eventually go away. | F | 49 | 4 months | 3/11/2007 | 2 | Stuffy nose&Ear Pain(allergies) | bad insomnia, anxiety, shaky wierd feeling in muscles (esp when i flex them), loss of taste, very dry nasal passage, nose bleeding, little bit of a soar throat, loss of appetite, high blood pressure and heart feels like its beating a little harder and faster than usual | I took Nasonex for the first time last night. Reluctantly, I couldn't fall asleep so I'm still up from yesterday (its noon now and i used it @ 10pm). I can't figure out if this is better or worse.....but I'm not even tired. My muscles feel wierd, especially when i flex they get a little shakey feeling and kind of achey (it's hard to describe). I also can't taste anything and my nose is really dry (but sinuses are still stuffed up so i have a lot of pressure) and bled earlier and my throat hurtsa little. I dont know how long it's going to last but i want it out of my system... It did clear up my nasal passage, but the experience was awful. IMO - It's effects are not worth the side effects. I've found stuff that works better AND has less/no side effects. NO THANKS! Im definitely going to pass next time. Actually, this bottle's getting trashed............................ | F | 22 | 2 days | 3/5/2007 | 1 | to keep ear passages free | I don't know if anyone else had this experience, but I actually lost the central vision in my left eye after taking Nasonex for 1 month.I had day surgery to remove my adnoids after experiencing 2 years of ear touble in my left ear. The ENT doctor put me on Nasonex to help keep my ear canal passages free . And then one day I noticed I couldn't really see well out of my left eye, I have agood freind that is an optometrist and he saw me right away. He sent me to a retnal specialist, who diagnosed me with central vision loss due to taking Nasonex, I was told to immediatly stop taking Nasonex. My ENT doctor had never heard of such a thing and had the specialist send him info on this. He thought the fluid that built up behind my left eye would probably absorb back into the body and go away on its own. But, I have had 3 appointments so far with the retnal specialist and it has not gotten any better, no worse, no better. I go again in 5 weeks and if it is not better he will do laser surgery. | M | 47 | 30 days | 3/2/2007 | 5 | Allergies | I came to this site to find if others have experienced a great side effect of Nasonex -- decrease in number of colds. I had eight colds last winter (no nasonex). This summer, my doctor prescribed nasonex and I have been taking it ever since. This winter, I haven't had a single cold. This is like a miracle for me! I haven't caught my boyfriend's colds or my office mates' colds. The only thing different in my life is nasonex. I don't know why this side effect is so opposite than the others' here who think it has weakened their immune system. Also my sense of smell has IMPROVED on Nasonex. I have been feeling a little dizzy at times, not enough to bother me but it is good to know that others feel this too. I did get a couple nose bleeds at first, but this went away. | I try to only take it once a day, instead of twice a day as prescribed. | F | 30 | 280 days | 2/28/2007 | 2 | sinusitis | Fatigue,diziness,and a feeling that I was far away, increased pressure in my head and temperature spiking then shivering. | Stopped taking on holiday as it was cold and I thought that wasn't helping but symptoms reappeared as soon as I started it again! I could thus work out what was the cause, this site helped | F | 41 | 14 days | 2/13/2007 | 1 | sinus pain, drip, persistent stuffe | Second day nosebleed that would not stop. After six hours, had bleeding area cauterized. What a shame! $65.00 for three shots. | There shoulld be physician samples before such a waste of money. | M | 83 | 2 days | 2/11/2007 | 3 | Allergic rhinitis | Occasional nosebleeds, smell problems, stinging in nose and eyes, increased irritibility, facial acne, water retention | I'm taking a cocktail of allergy and asthma medications, so side effects could be from one or a combination: Zyrtec, Singular, Flovent, albuterol. I've been experiencing unpleasant "phantom" smells. I randomly get strong whiffs of cigarette smoke or burning chemicals for no apparent reason. I was convinced someone was smoking in my office - but it was just my nose. Sometimes it smells like dish detergent is boiling on the stove. Other familiar smells are still the same, but it seems like my brain is registering smells that just aren't there. | F | 35 | 6 months | 2/9/2007 |
