| 2 | allergies | This stuff is horrible! I couldn't figure out the culprit til after almost two months of using this stuff; however, I'm glad it finally registered. It seemed like after i would take it, and every time, my symptoms would be worse, but i just figured it was because of high pollen days. But i specifically paid attention the last day i took it a few days ago. As soon as i took it i felt like my head would explode. Immediately my ears, nose and head felt full and congested and stayed that way the entire day. I stopped taking it a few days ago and haven't felt that way since.My side effects were: being jittery, anxiety, moodiness, insomnia, increased congestion, feeling out of sorts, dizziness. Would never take again, would rather deal with allergy symptoms. Definitely wouldn't recommend for a child especially. | F | 41 | 2 months | 8/23/2013 | 1 | sinus | 2 weeks ago, while travelling, I ended up in ER with chest pain and palpitations. After 3 hours of tests they cleared me. When I returned home the simptomes got better. Three days ago I found my nasonex spray in my travel bag and started using it again. Since then I feel like I've had too much coffee, have palpitations, shivers and anxiety. It was only as I used it today that I realized it might be the culprit! Still have to suffer through today as I've only taken it two hours ago......but it will go in the bin tonight! I hope the side effects gets better over time! | M | 29 | 14 days 1 spray 1X day | 8/21/2013 | 1 | sinus congestion allergies | Eye pain, ear pain, extreme intense headaches. anxiety, palpitations and tight chest. Metallic burning sensations in lips and mouth. Sore throat. | I have been on Nasonex on and off, mostly in the summer for sinus related issues and allergies for two years. First and foremost, it works and it works fast. However, after a while, I started noting symptoms I was having as I could not figure out what was wrong me. It wasn't until very recently, I had started to use nasonex again and started having palpitations, chest and eye pain and watering. I tracked my headaches - These headaches were intense, almost a burning within my forehead, all day long, every day - starting shortly after using the nasonex. I tracked everything. I started having anxiety where my hands would tremble minutes after I used the nasonex. and my body felt like it wanted to jump out of its skin with anticipatory anxiety.One morning, after using the spray before bed the night before, I awoke early in the morning thinking I was having a heart attack or an aneryism because my head was pounding and my heart racing. I am on day two of not using this product and I am stunned after 48 hours, my headache is gone although ear pain and anxiety/shakiness remain to which I am hoping will eventually dissipate. Anyone with sensitivities to drugs or predisposed with panic/anxiety disorder, be very careful. This product has scared me enough to stop using it and suffer with my sinus issues. | F | 47 | 24 days 2X day | 8/20/2013 | 4 | sinus pressure / allergic rhinitis | Can cause nosebleeds in the winter when dry. Seems to be increased rate of ENT infections that develop into more serious issues. Rebound effect of swelling if try to go off drug- took 5 days to get back to normal after re-starting from a week's break. | I seem to be more tolerant than most people on this forum. I CANNOT LIVE without this drug. Sinus headaches and pressure severe and daily without it- was completely dependent on daily pseudoephedrine (terrible for my high BP) without it, now down to 2-3 times per week. ENT diagnosed no sinus pathology- but allergic to everything. Taking immunotherapy shots for that now. Infections requiring antibiotics increased with nasonex, but 6 mnths of chiropractor seems to have cured this. Have some dizzy episodes, but that is due to ears clogging which is a symtom of the orginal problem, not the nasonex. No anxiety or crazy symptoms, but maybe this is because I take a beta blocker for lifelong high blood pressure which blocks this side effect. I do suspect I have cushings style fat on my face and neck however....but still worth it considering the pain I used to be in. I couldn't even function before nasonex. Headaches decreased by about 50%. | F | 39 | 4 years 1X day | 7/29/2013 | 2 | Sinus congestion alleged agergy. | Dry painful sinus with thick mucosa which is very hard to shift. Headache , insomnia , terrible taste in the mouth, some general agitation and anxiety. | Side effects seem to be worse than the original complaint, which I suspect may be an infection and not allergy anyway. No sleep a major problem. | M | 67 | 5 weeks 50ug 1X day | 7/29/2013 | 4 | 4 year old had a snorting habit | Son developed mild Eczema. Seems more troublesome and tired. He was getting his dose at night. Also the potential for reduction in growth velocity in children made me take him off it. Yes I am too trusting of doctors and did not read the warnings and precautions. Did stop him snorting. | Asked his pediatrician well the nurse if Nasonex could be causing the Eczema and she said no. Took him off about 4 days ago and the Eczema is going away. The eczema is mild on cheeks little on arm. Saw a study that some people get eczema while on Nasonex but it went away after 6 months. Have yet to talk to his E.N.T. that prescribed the Nasonex. Hope this helps. | M | 4 | 70 days 50 mcg 1X day | 7/23/2013 | 1 | sinus infection | severe insomnia, anxiety, heart palpatations, nightmares, feeling like I was going to die. | I am so glad that I found this site. I thought I was going crazy! I have been up for 4 days with very little sleep. I thought it was strange because it came about when I started taking the nasonex. I have stopped taking it for two days and am starting to feel better. I wonder when I will be able to sleep again. I would not recommend this medication to anyone. | F | 39 | 4 days 1X day | 7/18/2013 | 1 | allergies | I thought was working well until i started ears pain. Which turned unto Ramsay hunt Syndrome and i now have Bell's palsy due to the inflammation. I believe Naxonex compromised my immune system and gave me a viral outbreak which is similar to the shingles. That's the Ramsay hunt syndrome. I have painful pimple like lumps in my ear and inflammation. Paralysis of the face. It's been awful feeling so sick like this. I was strong and healthy and the only drug I started taking was naxonex before I got this sick. I hate drugs. I just hate them! You take meds to help a condition and they all pose risks of really messing your health up somewhere else. I'm so upset! | F | 31 | 3 weeks Two perday | 7/10/2013 | 1 | Nasal Polyps/Allergies | Extreme headache that lasted all day for several days. I went to the gym to work out in a cardio class and my head was pounding so bad I could barely get through the class. I think it did something to my blood pressure because the headache was so bad it felt like my head was going to explode. My legs also felt swollen and tight. I don't usually get headaches. | It really helped my allergies but I would rather deal with the allergies than the headache. | F | 41 | 7 days 2X day | 7/1/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme anxiety, heart racing, chest beating out of my heart. Depression. | I started using this for a week when I noticed I couldn't sleep anymore. It was causing me extreme anxiety and caused depression. My anxiety attacks and depression was sudden and I couldn't understand the cause. I'm started seeing a psych for the anxiety. Wow. What a revelation. I'm never taking this again (though it did help w/my allergies but not worth the risk). I'll find something else!. BEWARE OF THIS DRUG! | M | 49 | 7 days 30 mg 2X day | 6/19/2013 | 1 | Allergies - sinusitis | Over the last two years, I've used Nasonex sometimes for months at a time. I began to experience unexplained anxiety, chest pain and eye pressure last year. One night, I even went ER for a possible heart attack and they said I was fine. I stopped using Nasonex and symptoms gradually improved over the last six months. Regrettably, however, I kept it in my cabinet and broke it out the other day because it was the start of the hay fever season. I inhaled one dose, and the anxiety and chest pain came back within 24 hours. | I have struggled with allergies and sinusitis for most of my life, but I would take all of it compared to the chest pain, anxiety, adrenal insufficiency, eye pressure, severe nose bleeds and who knows what else I've experienced with this drug. It should be pulled off the shelves and there should be a re-evaluation of corticosteroids in general. It has been an eye-opener to see I'm not the only one who's had issues. Clearly this drug is not worth the risks. | M | 37 | 2 years 1X day | 6/10/2013 | 1 | sinusitis | Nose felt more blocked and stuffy after using spray. After 4 weeks noticed general aches in joints and then sneezing and runny nose continuously and tight feeling in chest and dizziness/vertigo. Stopped using and by day 2 symptoms were easing..Doctor wanted me to use this for 3 months ... will never use steroid nasal sprays again!! | Beware this product isnt for everybody .. | F | 60 | 5 weeks spray 1X day | 6/6/2013 | 1 | Nasal Allergies | This drug basically ruined my life. I took it in conjunction with flovent (another inhaled steroid). The heart palpitations were so intense that it would wake me up in the middle of the night. After 6 weeks of taking nosonex and 3 weeks of taking flovent, my allergist told me to stop both medications cold turkey. Well, this is when I went through some sort of withdrawal. I had such severe anxiety that I was put on xanax. In addition, I would feel depressed for no reason at all, and I have NEVER been depressed in my life. It also felt as though I forgot how to fall asleep. I got about 3-4 hours of sleep each night but I was never tired!. Finally, one day about 3 weeks after stopping nasonex, I felt like a truck smacked me, and I couldn't stay awake no matter what I tried. I slept for 11 hours that night, and when I woke up, I didn't have the anxiety, depression, or insomnia any longer. I am now on my 5th day of finally feeling "normal". I feel horrible for anyone e | M | 27 | 6 weeks 2X day | 6/4/2013 | 1 | sinus headaches | Horrible anxiety; terrible insomnia; chest discomfort; unable to eat; heart palpitations, tremors... | Horrible drug!!! I stopped taking Nasonex 4 days ago and have not been able to eat, sleep or go to work. The anxiety is ruining my life! I just hope I will feel my normal self soon! How long will these side affects last??? | F | 37 | 7 weeks 50 Mg 2X day | 5/25/2013 | 2 | sinus congestion | dizziness, ear pressure, absent minded | F | 36 | 2 weeks 1X day | 4/27/2013 | 1 | Clogged ear | Dizziness, anxiety, hyper activity, "heart jumping out of chest", sore throat, dry mouth. | NOW I realize that my crazy experience derived from Nasonex! For the past weeks I have been very dizzy, and I still am today, three weeks after quitting. I feel like something is clogged in the back of my head. I was to empty three bottles, during 2-3 months, but I quit after 8 weeks, not noticing any improvement. I thought I was going out of my mind completely! I did not realize that Nasonex was the reason for it, until now. I will see my doctor in a week. I already know that he will simply smile at me, not believing one single word that I say. I hope this tyranny will end soon! | M | 39 | 2 months 2X day | 4/24/2013 | 1 | Nasal allergies | Doc failed to mention that nasal steroid sprays may have identical effects as orally taken steroids like prednisone which is a drug I swore I would never take again unless I was dying, and even then death might be preferable. Extreme anxiety, panic attacks, sore throat, head pain, constant feeling of thick post nasal drip, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, shakiness. The only thing that felt somewhat better was the inflammation inside my nose, everything else felt worse. I finally realized these symptoms were getting close to being identical with the experience I had with prednisone about 7 yrs ago when I was prescribed it to stop my throat from swelling shut when I had mono. I have immediately discontinued use of nasonex. | If you would not take oral steroids or have had negative reactions to them, avoid this product as well!! | F | 28 | 7 days 1X day | 4/17/2013 | 1 | sinus pressure | Ten days into using Nasonex my mouth, tongue & lips started to tingle, go numb & then begin to burn, all within 30 min. of spraying. Over the next 2 hours the burning progressed to all mucous membranes i.e., eyes, sinuses, mouth, eosophagus, stomach, bladder, urethra & burning on urination. All followed by full body itching, head to foot, shaky hands and anxiety. An already present cataract became a lot worse. Mentally, I felt detached and wanted to sleep all day. | I have a history of sinus pressure on the inner ear causing vertigo, particularly when flying. Nasonex was used for about 10 days when symptoms appeared. I am highly sensitive to various drugs so when symptoms appeared, I immediately suspected Nazonex. Stopped using it and, except for the cataract, all symptoms resolved in about 48 hours. | F | 70 | 10 days n/a 2X day | 4/7/2013 | 1 | allergies | Within a couple of hours of spraying 1 spray in each nostril, I started feeling severe flu like symptoms. Chills, fever, nausea. I went to bed at 10pm and suffered with insomnia, when I finally did get to sleep I was having vivid recurring nightmare, like on a constant loop..and a sense of dread, with the thoughts that I was going to die. | I will not be taking this product again. There is something serioiusly wrong with it. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X day | 4/5/2013 | 1 | Enlarged adenoids | My poor daughter suffered from anxiety at school, chest pain, sore throat, no appetite, screaming fits, saying she hates her life and wants her old life back, saying she was going to die, punching her throat and crying non stop as well as waking up in the middle of the night crying. I took her off at day 6 and hope we see our previously happy, fun loving little girl come out of this awful nightmare. I hate nasonex and steroids. She was a classic case of roid rage apparently. Do your research, my mistake was trusting an ENT. | F | 8 | 10 days 2 sp each | 4/3/2013 |
