| 1 | Seasonal allergy | Weight gain (even having healthy diet and working out frequently), light nose bleed, severe headache, painful eyes | I did not know that I had nasal swelling before, and my doctor told me so. She prescribed me NASONEX and I used it for 15 days and then I couldn't continue using it because of the horrible side effects. Headaches were horrible! I couldn't concentrate at all. Besides I couldn't look up and down because my eyes were hurting. It was like having something pulling your eyes all the time and I could even see blood vessels in my eyes! Terrible! | F | 19 | 15 days 50MG 2X day | 6/2/2012 | 3 | Sesonal allergy | Tried flutonsine made me dizzy then tried this hopping t would work. Started getting dizzy and real nasous. When I stand up feel like ima faint and when I walk I feel like I want to barf I hate it and my body become addicted to it without it Dosent do what it use to | F | 15 | 1 months 2 sprays | 5/23/2012 | 1 | Nasal congeestion | Scabbing which turned into a hole in my septum | Doctor told me to insert the tip farther inside my nostril... bad advice. | F | 49 | 14 days 1X day | 5/22/2012 | 1 | Sinusitis | Joint pain, insomnia, vivid dreams/nightmares, cataracts, puffy eyes, multiple styes, heart palpitations, loss of focus, anxiety, depression, weight gain, irritability, persistent cough, diarrhea, but hey I could breathe out my nose for the first time in 20 years! I stopped taking it about 10 days ago and most of the symptoms have corrected themselves. Nothing I can do about the cataracts other than surgery. The weight gain I will have to work off. | M | 42 | 8 months 1x daily | 5/19/2012 | 4 | Year round alergies | Pressure in my left eye is 22, right eye is 24. I cannot say for certain that the high eye pressures were caused by Nasonex, but I never had a problem before. | Nasonex has drastically helped my perpetually stuffed up nose and repeated catching of colds. | M | 50 | 2 years 50 MG 1X day | 5/16/2012 | 1 | Sinus Inflamation | After the first week, I began feeling "disassociated" from reality - in truth, it was like I was observing things going on around me but I was not an active participant. I thought it was from the sudafed I was also told to take, but I stopped the sudafed and it didn't get any better. My lips have been tingling for three days, and I have an intermittent headache. I also feel swollen around my face and neck - I can't wait for these sensations to disappear! It has been difficult to function, especially in a job that requires almost constant interactions with other people. | I will never take it again - and I am incredibly thankful that other people have shared their experiences through this forum. Only by reading the information below could I be certain that the Nasonex was causing these issues - I have never felt like this before from any medicine, and I am not typically sensitive to side effects. | M | 41 | 14 days 30 2X day | 5/16/2012 | 1 | Seasonal Allergies | Dizzy spells, blurred vision, tingling or numbness in legs at night, anxiety, tired, difficulty sleeping. | It seems to work well to address my sinus problems but the side effects have been horrible. I have stopped using it but for only one day. Based on others experiences I expect things to improve slowly now that I have stopped. | M | 49 | 21 days 1X day | 5/9/2012 | 3 | Stuffiness, ear congestion | After using it consistently every day (in the beginning I only used it as the symptoms appeared) I have developed severe itching in my ear and throat on the side I use it (only my right ear was affected with the symptoms I mentioned). It has become unbearable so I am cutting down to one spray and then will probably have to discontinue. | It really helps the symptoms but now has become a problem in it's own right. | F | 55 | 3 months 100 mcg 1X day | 5/4/2012 | 5 | sinutitis. | No side effects. It has stopped my sinus infections as i was plagued with them all the time. Naxonez has worked wonders with me. | F | 34 | 3 years 100mg | 5/3/2012 | 1 | To prevent sinus allergies | Had extensive sinus surgery ,nasal septum repair and bone spur removal 12 weeks ago...after post op eight weeks placed back on Nasonex for allergy prevention,,,,,now having constant post nasal drip, insomnia, heatr palpitations and night sweats . Now the area over my cheek bones is puffy and swollen...last night my husband asked why my face look swollen and asked if I might need plastic surgery because of the " bad affects of the sinus surgery" Only started the swelling after using Nasonex.... After reading this forum and because of my own current experience I will not take this drug again! | F | 56 | 21 days 1X day | 5/2/2012 | 2 | blocked eustachian tube | heart pap....blurred vision..hard to swallow sometimes...stuffy nose.. | F | 44 | 4 weeks 30mg | 4/28/2012 | 1 | sinius problems | had the worst lightheadedness feeling ..been off for two days feel alot better still a little lighthead though | M | 33 | 5 days 1X day | 4/28/2012 | 2 | my 5yr old for ear infections const | my 5yr old was given nasonex to try by doc while he was on the waiting list to see a nose,ear and throat doc about his snoring,breathing though mouth constenly,constent ear infections....etc.He has been on it for 5 days now and i hav noticed a dramatic change in this persionality,to the point it was worring me so i just thought i would look it up.He has been crying constently,moody,aggressive,tired......my sister works in a chemist and i just happened to mention my sons behaviour to her and she was the one that mentioned to me it could be the nose spray he was on and advised me to stop use and see my doc on monday.so im not giving it to him today and will see if it makes a difference.JUST A LITTLE BIT SCAREY TO SEE YOUR CHILD SO DIFFERENT AND UPSET. | it doesnt say anything about mood changes in the information leaflet in medication box but honestly if you notice any changes in moods or behaviour i would strongly recommend to stop asap.it can happen,ive just seen it with my own eyes and after reading other comments now do not feel alone. | M | 5 | 0.05 1X day | 4/27/2012 | 1 | sinitus plugged sinuses | Ive been taking this when needed for a few years just to irrigate my nasal passages but 3 months ago my ear nose and throat DR wanted to operate to open a passage and due to the risks he suggested I try this 3 times a day for a few months and see the outcome. The first thing I noticed were headaches as Im not a sufferer, then became frequent almost daily. My face and eyes became puffy ichty and sore and ringing ears. I had problems focusing and my memory was not at its best. I thought I was losing my mind, becoming depressed, and withdrawn. I stopped taking it and within a week all was back to normal......OH yeah, weight gain...... | 57 | 2 months 2 3X day | 4/25/2012 | 1 | Allergies | DON'T USE NASONEX IT GAVE ME CATARACTS. NO HISTORY OF THEM IN MY FAMILY. MY EYE DR. SAID IT WAS FROM USING NASONEX FOR SEVERAL YEARS. | DR'S SEEM TO FORGET TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SIDE EFFECT. CATARACT SURGERY IS COSTLY. | F | 50 | 2X day | 4/23/2012 | 5 | Alergies | none | I am 35 years old and have severely suffered from Seasonal Allergies which start in February and continue till August. Last year I was prescribed Nasonex for the first time and omg...what a difference. I read many bad reviews on this site so i thought i would give a positive one. Everyone is different and it's worked well for me. Maybe the difference being is I have extreme enviromental allergies and any improvment noted is better then what I was going though in the past. | 1 years 2X day | 4/14/2012 | 3 | Nasal congestion every day | Intense heart palpitations, weakness, dizziness, headrush and spotted vision when standing, feeling of inadequate O2, smell/taste loss, bloating, menstrual-like cramps while exercising and extreme menstrual cramps, irritability, anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping and nightmares/vivid dreams-nearly every possible side effect. I didn't make the connection of side effects til recently so as a teen I was on anti-depression/anxiety (Lexapro) meds and I also had sickening periods. The heart palps happened within the year and I went to ER from fear, but all these symptoms went away about 2 weeks after stopping use of 1 spray per nostril before bed. I run at least 2 miles/day and this has made it so hard until disuse. It works great for curing the congestion, but it isn't worth the resulting misery. I stopped using it a couple of times for a few months (which is how I figured it out) but I can't believe I've lived with those side effects for so long. | F | 24 | 6 years | 4/14/2012 | 1 | Sinus/Allergies after head cold | Male pattern hair growth, ANXIETY, metal taste, puffy eyes & cheeks, dry eyes/ pressure, nervous, photosensitive, FATIGUE, loss of cognition & memory, ear pain, joint & muscle pain, nose bleeds, jittery, WEAK, constipated, vision loss, weight gain | Thank goodness for this site. Both myself and my family thought I was decaying rapidly &/or going insane. I'm a 29 year old woman, this caused hair to grow & darken in between my breasts...plus major flu symptoms and poor brain function. Had constant herpes outbreaks in mouth. Awful drug!!! | F | 29 | 6 weeks 1 spray 1X day | 4/13/2012 | 5 | Allergies | Light nose bleeds, puffy eyes for the first two weeks of using medication. Possible weight gain. | I started taking this about a month and a half ago. It was wonderful being able to breathe at night, but for the first few weeks I would wake up with extremely puffy eyes...worse than when I had allergies. I have been having very light nose bleeds (just a couple drops of blood), and I have pain hip that won't go away. I am an avid exerciser so perhapse this is due to working out. Last month's menstual period was about half as long (no complaints there!!!). I am most concerned about weight gain though. Every week the scale seems to inch up about 0.5 lbs without any significant change in diet. But the relief from allergies is pretty much worth it. I sleep so much better at night! | F | 33 | 1.5 months 100 mcg 2X day | 4/11/2012 | 1 | Sinus allergies | Insomnia, severe headache, nausea, sudden weight gain, high blood pressure. | It helped with my allergies for a few days, but the side effects are brutal. | M | 55 | 6 days 2X day | 4/11/2012 |
