 5  Severe allergies/sinusitis I honestly don't think I had any side effects at all from Nasonex. It kept my sinuses completely clear most of the time, which was a God-send for me. I took myself off of the drug simply because I started Menopause and thought it might be contributing to the nightsweats I was getting. Now I know that it wasn't at all. I am, again, having horrible allergy symptoms and am getting back on it. I think Nasonex is a great drug (for me at least)! F 54 2 years

 1  Sinus allergies, polyps First day of using Nasonex, my daughter had very bad nightmares, she was up and crying all night. This is very unusual for her. She has felt extremely nauseous and dizzy for no reason. Very irritable, moody and bad tempered. I called her doctor and told me to stop the drug immediately. She took it last year for a couple of weeks with no effects, but this time it was awful. I'll never give it to her again. I've read it can damage her vision permanently. I'll try something else.

 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

 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.

 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

 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.

 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

 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

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....

 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.

 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
