NASONEX  (MOMETASONE FUROATE MONOHYDRATE):  Mometasone is used to prevent and treat seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms (such as stuffy/runny nose, itching, and sneezing).

 1  Nasal polyps and chronic runny nose Insomnia and nightmares I take no other medicines and started this medicine two weeks ago. Asian lady sleep very well in after the first week I started waking up at 4 AM every day . Now for the past week every Night I am having terrible dreams about drowning, being chased and shot at, and death of family members. Nothing else has changed in my life so I'm worried it is the nasonex. I have also noticed bags under my eyes recently, I'm guessing from waking up after dreams in the night and being scared. I am stopping this medication now and hoping things get better. The medicine did seem to help my runny nose but it is not worth the scary dreams and insomnia F 33 1 weeks

 1  sinus problems Stomach feels like a huge rock in it; nausea; pressure in head; headache; dizziness; depression; sore throat; heightened sense of smell; blurry vision; no energy; losing weight; bleeding gums. My greatest fear is that these symptoms will not go away. I took it for 5 days and stopped yesterday. Can anyone tell me if these symptoms go away and how long does it take? After 10 days of these side effects I started to get better and many of them went away. However I still have ringing in my ears and bad leg and feet pain. F 72 5 days

 1  Sinus Infections Insomnia began in week 1. Severe panic and anxiety began the 2nd week and was unbearable by the 3rd week. Nightmares, irrational thoughts/feelings. Once I realized that Nasonex could be the cause I looked it up and found others had very similar side effects. I discontinued immediately. I do not take any other medications so there is no other explanation. I realize some have zero side effects but please use caution! From my experience this seems like a very dangerous medication.

 1  Reduce inflammation in sinuses Recommended by doctor, take a course of Rulide antibiotics for sinus infection, as well as Nasonex for inflammation, two sprays per nostril once a day. Days 1 & 2 OK,but third day felt lightheaded and slightly short of breath, then...5 hours later felt like I couldn't breathe! Called ambulance, all vitals fine, presumed a panic attack, 15 mins later heart palpitations and nausea! Off to emergency in ambulance! Extreme allergic reaction indeed! In the bin it goes! (Rulide is fine, used before with no reaction, also no reaction since stopping Nasonex) Some people get no reactions, some get heaps! Be very VERY careful taking this drug! F 51 3 days

 5  hay fever, sneezing and runny nose Minimal I started using a similar nasal spray called baconase about 34 years ago, and my doc switched me to nasonex later. They both worked great. I tried stopping a few times, but runny nose returned everyone. Now I know I am stuck with this for the rest of my life M 71 10 years

 1  Allergy In the second day I got panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, irrational thoughts, nausea, vomiting, severe headache especially around the eyes, feeling of constipation, loss of appetite, feeling depressed and hopeless, general feeling of mistrust. I feel so miserable! It has been 2 days since I found out it was a side effect from the drug and stopped using it immediately and I am better but still feeling anxious, especially at night. I hope I'll feel normal soon. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone! F 28 3 days

 3  chronic nasal congestion I've been taking nasonex for years and only recently developed side effects. I noticed a chronic sore throat and sensitivity around my thyroid. I saw my doc who ordered a thyroid ultrasound which showed no issues. I just recently went away for a weekend and forgot my nasonex. I just noticed my sore throat is completely gone. I am assuming it is the nasonex since this is a common side effect. I will be asking my doc and going to stay off this med for now. F 41 3 years

 2  Eustachian Tube Dysfunction I moved on to Nasonex because other sprays were not working well. It appeared to be OK for the first few weeks and helped the ETD I suffer from. I have persevered in the hope things would get better but I now suffer from very odd headaches which tingle and my head feels a little numb at times. The headaches are often localised to particular parts e.g near the right near my ear or top of my head. The numbess has at times spread to around my eyes although not constant. I also feel quite anxious and feel on edge at times. I sometimes wake up during the night feeling very anxious. I initially suffered from nose bleeds but these subsided after a few weeks.

 1  4 year old had constant runny nose Doctor prescribed for constant runny nose for months with no relief with OTC children's allergy medicine. One spray per nostril every 24 hours. This is an extremely sweet little girl who turned into a crazed, moody, out of control child within a few weeks. About to lose my mind when I thought about what had changed since she started acting this way. It has to be the Nasonex. I am glad I saw these reviews before something even worse happened to her. Eyesight, heart, etc. Very sad. Do not give to children just because doctor says to. Use your gut instinct. F 4 1 days

 1  post nasal drip I woke up on the 5th day and my vision was blurred and double. I was going back to my doctor and could not read any road signs at all and I have perfect long range vision.....scared me to death. Found out blurred vision is a side effect. Doctor advised me to go off of it immediately which I did. Also pain in body and a bit spacy, but the vision impairment was the worst side effect. F 54 4 days

 1  Post nasal drip Post nasal drip worsened, could not sleep and felt jittery. I used for the last couple of days and have not been able to stop swallowing. Post nasal drip is getting worse. I also had trouble sleeping and am feeling jittery. I already take an anti anxiety medication so, after reading some of the comments on this website, I am discontinuing the use of nasonex immediately. Scary drug. F 54 2 days

 3  Sinus + mucus overproduction It seems that it roughly coincided with when I began that I have difficulty swallowing food. It hurts. It feels like I have an air lock in my upper throat. I looked for comments on this drug and am interested to see the number for anxiety or depression since after I started Nasonex I feel like crying a lot of the time - something I'm not at all prone to do. Another - possible - thing is that one week after starting Nasonex I got a bad sinus infection - something I've managed to avoid for several years now I was prescribed the Nasonex because of nasal drip to see if it was connected with night 'chokings' - a feeling of total constriction in the throat when asleep and then sudden panic waking. Nasonex has helped this since I haven't had a night choking since taking it. F 69 2 months

 3  Allergist Dry eyes, eye pressure and severe eye pain. Possibly multiple salzmann nodules I took this drug for 5 years (during allergy season) and didn't think it was having any effect. Except that I also had other problems (namely eye problems) going on, but thought they were unrelated. However, when I stopped using this product for 4 months, my eye problems also went away. I started the product again, eye problems returned. At that point, I had an epiphany ... all these years of eye pain, eye pressure, dry eye, blurry vision that glasses weren't fixing have all likely been side effects of this medication. I've also had two salzmann nodules in my left eye that requires surgery in the past 2 years - and that might be due to the increased eye pressure? F 42 5 years

 5  Seasonal allergies, post-nasal drip None. Nasonex did not help right away like a magic bullet. But my doctor had prepared me. Once it started workin, I felt sooo much better..! Congestion, headaches and PND went away. I stopped using it because I had a couple of years during which my allergies did not effect me so much. I'll go back to it. F 1 days
