| 1 | allergy | Pressure in the eyes and forehead, itchy and puffy totally dry eyes, tiredness, sleepness, inability to concentrate | I have suffered 1 year from the side-effects of Nasonex. I have undergone a total hell. My symptoms started suddenly after 2 weeks of using Nasonex, twice a day. It took me 4 months to realize that the spray was the cause why I feel so weird. Think I visited all possible doctors to find out the reason, but nodody could diagnose anything. It ended up that my parents took me to a psychiatrist who insisted that I had an endogenious depression. I was put on Cipralex. But I was totally happy individual before that incident! So I continued thorough researching and after 1 year the total understanding of what happened came to me. In short, Nasonex constricts the vessels also the ones of the brain. Narrowing of blood vessels results in glucose deficiency, magnesium deficiency in some cells (not enough glucose is brought to those cells so they can’t perform aerobic respiration in a normal rate). Thats why we feel so awful. First you need vasodilators (I used Crataegi fructus and Ginkgo biloba in high doses). It will widen your vessels and enable minerals to be delivered to the cells again. Then you need to increase magnesium in your nutrition - better to buy magnesium in the pharmacy and drink a daily dose. This is how I recovered from a year nightmare when I thought I was going insane. I dont take anything now and feel great. Get well people! | F | 23 | 4 months 2X day | 11/6/2012 | 1 | Allergies, stuffy nose | Within a few days the allergies were gone, no snotty nose or sneezing. What I thought was a miracle drug actually has caused some pretty horrific side effects. Within a week my son developed a dry cough (spoke to pharmacist & was assured it had nothing to do with nasonex.) This cough hung around for about 3 weeks before the diarrheoa & dizziness begun. Saw the GP who diagnosed mycoplasma & we were given antibiotics. The vomitting started, chest pains, increased dizziness, wheezing. All these symptoms I associated with the mycoplasma. Continued using the nasonex, no improvement seen in my son. A chest X-ray was performed, nil signs of infection (no temperature the whole time) another lot of antibiotics given & he seemed to completely heal... Until yesterday & bang chest pains, difficulty breathing, dry cough, wheezing +++ I am talking about a child who in 9yrs has barely had a cough/cold last for more than a week let alone had a severe wheeze in which ventolin provides only short term relief!. I 100% believe this medication is responsible for what has gone on in the past 5 weeks & to think that doctors & pharmacists were oblivious to these side effects is disgusting... I work in the medical field & I know it's impossible to know every drug back to front, but really isn't it obvious it can do more harm than good. Be aware of the side effects so that if you get any you know exactly why it's happening. | M | 9 | 6 weeks Junior | 11/3/2012 | 1 | ears allergys | Eye problems dizzy cant sleep. Worst drug ive ever taking! Anxiety, ears ringing. | M | 37 | 1 months | 10/26/2012 | 5 | No side effects at all | I took this to fix my nasal congestion, which it did, but it also stopped my allergies, which had been a nightmare up til then because of the early spring. This is the best allergy medication I have ever taken and I had no side effects at all. | F | 28 | 5 months 50 MCG 2X day | 10/19/2012 | 1 | Stuffy nose | My 4.5 yr old son's ENT recommended these for him. We had him take it for two weeks and started noticing a myriad of problems. First, he started blinking incessantly, started to squint/strain when trying to see. We took him to an eye doctor, who said he's near sighted. We didn't know at the time why. Second, his behavior became markedly worse, often over excited/agitated and was getting into trouble in summer camp. To the point where he was kicked out of CAMP!! Third, he started having heart palpatations at night, now he's only 4.5 and cannot describe the symptoms. But he'd wake up in the middle of the night grasping his chest while crying. Took us 2 weeks to find this site and realize all the symptoms are due to the stupid steroid. We immediately stopped using it. But his vision problem did not improve until 1 month later. We only gave this drug to our son because his doctor swore it had "no side-effects". Turns out to be far from the truth. It is EVI | Evil/Terrible medication | M | 4.5 | 14 days 2X day | 10/17/2012 | 3 | Rhinitis | I feel like the Duracell Bunny! Hyperactive. Blocked nose, blood in nasal mucus. | I was prescribed one bottle of Nasonex a year ago which helped clear up excess mucous, so, when symptoms returned, the consultant suggested another prescription - I agreed. What I'd forgotten about was the side effects I'd had before, mainly hyperactivity. I don't take any other medication so the difference was remarkable. People have also commented on my mood so I'm sure it's affecting that simply because they have commented - grumpy is the word they use. All of which is out of character. I googled the hyperactivity thing with the drug and landed here. We can't all be wrong. But as I have now cleaned my fridge (at 6 am), partied like a teenager and am still going...I might just ask for a repeat prescription!! | F | 48 | 1 months 2 sprays 1X day | 10/12/2012 | 3 | Year round indoor & outdoor allergi | Headache, sore muscles, tight chest, low-grade fever, sore throat, nosebleeds. | I used Nasonex years ago and had great success with taking care of my sneezing and congestion, but the constant sore throats made me stop taking it. Tried it again this year and did wonderfully for several months, then started having random days where I felt like I had the flu; fever, headaches, body aches, hurt to breathe. It would last for about a day and then stop, then repeat again. Going to stop the Nasonex for a few weeks and see if these symptoms disappear (pretty sure it's the culprit). It did a wonderful job of clearing up my congestion and helping me breathe, I had no sneezing or itching... but the side effects are too miserable. It's like having a mini-flu every other day, and I can't function like that. I'm glad I found this site, nobody ever mentions these side effects! | F | 35 | 1X day | 10/9/2012 | 4 | Chronic sinusitis / allergies | None--it's really helped me stay healthy. | F | 33 | 6 months 1 spray ea | 10/6/2012 | 1 | Sinus congestion | This is absolutely horrible. I have been having dizziness, nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, for a whole now. Started only using Nasonex at night bc I felt so dizzy and sick during the day, just started reading these reviews bc I can't sleep due to taking nasonex (shocker) I called Walgreens and asked the pharmacist about it and basically he said the meds are not causing anxiety or any of these symptoms WTF... But after reading this I know this is exactly my problem. It really pisses me off that drs, pharmacists, etc are discounting patient symptoms especially when there are this many people suffering from an obviously problematic drug. It may work for some but this is not good for everyone. Nobody wants to feel like they are going crazy. | F | 24 | 10 days 1 x daily | 10/2/2012 | 2 | Allergies | It work well for my allergies BUT I got bronchitis after a cold for years. I could not figure it out until I did some research. I feel like I am developing asthma too. Physicians should warn you of this conditions if they see you getting bronchitis at least 1-2 year when taking Nasonex!! | It is miserable to get bronchitis for 3-4 weeks once or 2x a year! That is 1-2 months of my life wasted!! I am going to look for natural alternatives or acupuncture instead of this nasty steroid! | F | 48 | 6 years 50mcg 1X day | 10/1/2012 | 1 | Severe allergies | Severe vertigo and weakness. I could no longer function The room was spinning around me, I had to hang on to walls not to fall... + anxiety | My allergies did subside but I was no longer able to move due to the vertigo and weakness | M | 46 | 1 days 30 1X day | 9/9/2012 | 1 | Sinusitis | Woke up around 2:30am with a lower lip the size of a HOT DOG and a super rapid heart rate. Eight hours later and it's still about 20% swollen. Terrible time sleeping and really CRAZY anxiety over the past couple days. I actually thought I was starting to lose my mind. Super irritable as well. | I have never suffered any serious side effects to medication before so it took me a couple days to figure out that Nasonex was the culprit. This stuff is HARDCORE! I'd rather deal with the sinusitis. NO BUENO! | M | 31 | 7 days 50MG 1X day | 8/31/2012 | 1 | Possible sinus problem,nasal drip. | Severe nosebleed. Doctor's comment was"It does that somtimes." Have deviated septum now with permanent scab,some nasal blockage on one side. | Doctor knew I had deviated septum, didn't caution about contact. | M | 84 | 1 weeks 1X day | 8/20/2012 | 3 | Chronic Sinusuits / Allergies | This stuff worked wonders on my terrible allergies and unblocked my nose when nothing else would... BUT, it's been 2 weeks and I am feeling the same type of side effects I was when I was on Prednisone. I have become so moody and quick to snap, anxious, and my heart rate is up. I had a dose of 2 squirts yesterday and felt so hyper and aggressive, I swear I am not normally like this. And am I crazy, but is my face breaking out more because of this too? I hope reducing the dosage will help reduce these awful side effects, because it sure is nice to be able to breathe. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 1 | Allergies | I would NOT recommend this product to anyone EVER. I noticed after a couple days of taking Nasonex I had extreme anxiety, trouble breathing, insomnia and weight loss. I had really bad mood swings, almost felt bipolar. I felt I couldnt control my thoughts and I was completely restless. I quit taking it and noticed all the symptoms went away. I asked my dad if nasal sprays could cause insomnia and after reading all these negative reviews I'm Glad I'm not the only one who experienced these negative effects because i was worried I was going crazy. I will not use this again. | F | 25 | 10 days | 8/13/2012 | 1 | nasal allergies, post nasal drip | My 8 year old son, who is usually easy going was an absolute nightmare on this medication. He had aggressive outbursts where he would scream and cry uncontrollably, throw things, kick walls, etc. I finally made the connection that his unbearable behavior had begun about 2 weeks earlier when he started the nasonex. As soon as I took him off it he was fine. I do not recommend this medication to children especially those that are sensitive to side effects. | Will never use this medication again. | M | 8 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/31/2012 | 1 | Blocked sinus | anxiety and insomnia | F | 63 | 2 days spray 1X day | 7/21/2012 | 5 | Chronic nasal inflammation | None | Allowed me to breathe freely at night after years of trying every over-the-counter medication on the market. | M | 43 | 3 months 1X day | 7/13/2012 | 3 | Allergies/Clogged Eustachian Tubes | Anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia | I don't notice any benefits from the nasonex and have had quite a number of negative side effects. I can't say for certain that they are related, but I will stop using the nasonex and see if it goes away. My doctor claims there is no way my symptoms are from the med, but after reading others stories here, I have to question him. | F | 28 | 60 days 2 sprays 1X day | 7/13/2012 | 1 | allergys, sinus infection | Horrible anxiety and dizziness, been off 3 days and feeling better but still not normal. | F | 29 | 8 days 2Xd | 7/1/2012 |
