Extremely tiered , up threw out night constantly, stressed. | i waited 4 hours in an ER waiting room to find out what was wrong with my ear. i was in and out of the room within 5 of my name being called. the doctor told me it was fluid in me ear due to t5he tubes not draining due to allergies.Doctor told me to "get rid" of all my pets.After telling her no she gave me Reactine and Nasonex. since then i have had no hollow sound in my ear but i feel 100 times worse then before i started it | F | 23 | 1 weeks 2spray 2X day | 9/14/2011 | 1 | allergies | palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, muscle and bone pain, acne, puffy face, weight gain, itching, racing heart, nervousness, shaky | I visited the doctor this week with numerous troubling symptoms. He scheduled me for a barrage of tests. It suddenly dawned on me that my symptoms began about the time I began using Nasonex. In researching the drug, I found this website. I was amazed to see the number of people whose symptoms were just like mine. I quit using Nasonex two days ago and I am already feeling much better. I'll go ahead with the tests just in case, but I'm convinced that Nasonex was the cause of my problems. | F | 57 | 3 months 2 sprays 1X day | 9/5/2011 | 3 | Nasal congestion | Irritated throat, heart palpitations, insomnia, depression, anxiety, weakened immune system, achy and weak muscles, worse eyesight | Ive been taking 2x2 sprays per day for about a year now. Nasonex does what it's supposed to do, even now that I have a runny nose, I dont feel very congested. But like others Im starting to think the side effects start to become far worse than the nasal congestion I got the spray for. I get runny nose far more often than before, I have developed a nasty insomnia (3+ hours to fall asleep no matter what). Doc gave me medicine for depression too which I discontinued to use as certain events improved the quality of my life. Achy muscles are really annoying, a short walk is enough to cause muscle cramps that I didnt usually get even after running for 30 minutes or more. My long range vision has become somewhat blurred. I just dont know whether to quit taking nasonex as Im afraid the nasal congestion comes back far worse than what it was before starting to use the drug. | M | 23 | 1 years 50mg 4X day | 8/31/2011 | 4 | Allergic Rhinitis | I can breathe clearly throughout my nose, I can sleep better, I can live a normal life, I can eat whatever I want, I can be outside as long as I want whenever I want, and I only have to take the spray 1x daily. | M | 19 | 2 years 200 1X day | 8/30/2011 | 3 | Nasal Allergies | Dry eyes, nose bleeds, infections including ears, sinus, bladder, headaches that ibprofen cant help, nausia at times, loss of hunger at times, bad menstration cramps, loss of smell, have added medications to the arsenal! Due to dry eyes caused by this med i have eye drops i have to use 4-5 times a day, ive been on antibiotics an average of 3 times a month due to infections, have spent a boat load of money at ENT to cure ear infection, sinus infection. also have mood swings that i didnt have previously. | Nasonex DID relieve nasal congestion. But it also CAUSED alot of problems. I quit it 2 days ago. Nose congested again, stomach cramps, head ache yesterday. What do you take next after quitting this stuff?? What IS SAFE to take to clear congestion?! | F | 43 | 5 months 17G 2X day | 8/24/2011 | 3 | Severe Hayfever | A miracle cure for the first few days, then I started to get severe anxiety symptoms and irregular heartbeats. | The doctor said the anxiety symptoms and heart problems were caused by anxiety due to some kind of hidden mental problem (yes they worked that out after a 5min consultation) and Naxonex was completely safe. I now believe that some people who have low stress levels or more importantly low levels of adrenaline can cope with nasonex, just like they can with caffeine etc. However, my guess is that anyone who is sensitive to adrenaline or has high stress levels, may find that naxonex pushes them over the limit into anxiety attacks etc. I found after discontinuing naxonex for a year, that the recommended dose was far to high for me and I suspect others too. I now have one single spray every 3 days and I can cope with that. I also completely avoid caffeine and alcohol while I'm taking it. I keep my adrenaline levels as low as possible. It's a shame that doctors don't recognise this connection. | M | 48 | 14 days 50mcg 2X day | 8/22/2011 | 1 | congestion | Headaches, insomnia, shoulder pain. heart palps, and bad muscle weakness and pain, | Was fine the first two days using a puff per nostril 2x a day, the the third day day had a horrible headache (never get headaches) heart started racing while laying down, muscle weakness in legs, then that night did not sleep a wink! the next day my shoulder hurt so bad, thght that I had smashed into something, the horrible headache came back, I knew it must be the nasonex, found this site and know that it definitely was! Horrible stuff!! | F | 44 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 8/14/2011 | 3 | post nasal drip and chesty cough | If I use it as per doctor's dosage for a week to a month I start to get nose bleeds. The nose bleeds subside a few days after stopping the nasonex | I love it! Yes the nose bleeds were a HUGE hassel and very frustrating, I loved how the nasonex helped my cough! I now use it 'as i need', usually a single spray in each nostril before bed and paired with a saline spray. When I don't use it my cough starts to become heavier. | F | 20 | spray 1X day | 8/10/2011 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis | Mild headache, but it cured the allergic rhinitis and I am sleeping through the night for the first time in 3 months, can breathe through my nose and very happy with the drug so far. In the last 3 months I tried everything (nasal irrigation, sudafed, otrivin etc) and this was a last resort as I was concerned about the reported side effects. I am very healthy and fit otherwise. | F | 49 | 14 days 50 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 3 | Fluid in ears, resistant ear infect | Pounding headaches similar to bad sinus headaches. | Gave to my 7 year old to clear fluid from his ears that kept getting infected. He is a leukemia patient. It did clear him up. After 4 weeks started to get really bad what seemed to be sinus headaches. Stopped the drug immediately. | M | 7 | 4 weeks 50mcg 2X day | 7/27/2011 | 1 | chronic sinus | extremely itchy all over the head. Palpitations.Depression. insommnia, vision disturbance & eye pressure. After reading other peoples probems have discontinued immediately. | F | 63 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/22/2011 | 1 | Blocked ears | I felt very weak. My legs would not carry me. My arms were numbs. My leg muscles were aching and weak. I had some flu like symptoms. It took a week to recover. I started again to check that it wasn't the nasal spray and it all started again. | F | 37 | 2 days 2X day | 7/17/2011 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Severe headaches sore throat thick mucus depression tingling and numbness in hands bloody nose ear infection | The more I use it the more severely clogged my nose gets making it impossible to breathe or stop using nasonex. This medication is not for me. | F | 34 | 30 days 2sprays 1X day | 7/5/2011 | 1 | hayfever | Stiff, sore neck and back. Heart palpitations. | This drug should be removed from the marketplace immediately! Class action suit anyone? | M | 37 | 2 weeks 1X day | 7/1/2011 | 1 | Sinus Pressure/Allergies | I used this product 1 day. The physcian who prescribed this poison did not ask if I had any viral issues like herpes! Which now I know you should never take this medicine. It has started frenzy of issues in my body. Immediately within 24 hours I developed cold sores. The next week severe muscle twiches and muscle weakness that has not stopped at all for the past two weeks since taking two spray in each nostril. Now I am having trouble with some numbness on the left side of my face, my eye on that side hurts, my neck and shoulders hurt. My body feels sore all over when i get up every morning. I am having extreme anxiety, nervousness and can't sleep. I believe it may be time to really push for the FDA to take this off the market. I can feel a suit coming eventually. | Dont take it under any circumstances. Its a poison and they are playing with peoples lives. | F | 41 | 1 days 40 mg 2X day | 6/25/2011 | 1 | Allergies | Can't sleep for over 7 hours and I cannot take any naps. Mild depression. | M | 31 | 3 months 2X W | 6/23/2011 | 1 | nasal congestion | severe burning of throat and esophagus | I was not given proper instructions and I burned my throat and esophagus to the point that I am now gargling with Lidocaine for pain relief. I have blisters on my tonsils and now they expect thrush. I would not recommend this medication | F | 53 | 7 days 60 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps | Throat numbness, headaches, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, serious recurring sinus infections, loss of sense of smell and insomnia if used before bed. | Prescribed by an ENT, I used Nasonex for almost two years. It was initially effective for the nasal stuffiness, although it left me shaky with moderate heart palpitations and shortness of breath for up to a couple of hours after use. Eventually I experienced complete loss of the ability to smell anything at all. The ENT said that the anosmia was due to the polyps NOT the Nasonex and even with surgery was probably irreversible. About a month ago (May of 2011) I caught my first real cold virus in a number of years and quit using the Nasonex because I was just too sick and the congestion made it impossible to spray anything into my nose. After about five days I was feeling better and thought about going back to my usual allergy routine however I woke up one morning with the beginnings of a sense of smell which improved throughout the day until I was able to smell things for the first time in a couple of years. I have not restarted the Nasonex, my sense of smell seems to have returned permanently, and it isn't making any difference to my allergies which it seems are well controlled by the other prescriptions of Astepro and Ipatropium Bromide. No more headaches, no more palpitations or shortness of breath when climbing my stairs, insomnia is gone and I could almost cry for happiness about being able to smell again. While the idea of having these polyps is kind of creepy, the feeling is diminished by actually being able to smell a rose as well as increased enjoyment of food | F | 68 | 2 years 50 mg 2X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | allergies--sinus congestion | headache, sinus pressure, vertigo, shoulder and neck pain, mild nausea, other digestive problems, lethargy. | After using this medication for the past several months I began to develop daily headaches accompanied by the other problems that I listed. I started to get very concerned that there might be something seriously wrong until I occured to me that the use of Nasonex after a time might be causing my symptoms. After looking at this website, which I have done before for other medications, I realized that many people cited the same or similar problems with their use of this medication. Well, now I began to realize that it is very possible/probable that this stuff is causing my problems. As of today, I'm quitting this and am eager to see how I feel after I've been off it for a while. From now on saline solutions only. Like many others, I am beginning to believe this stuff is poison. | M | 60 | 3 months 1X day | 6/12/2011 | 1 | Dust allergies/fluid in ears | Bloody discharge from left nasal passage. Heart palpitations. Irritability. Floaters and film in one eye. Olfactory disturbances. | I am a very healthy individual and take no other drugs, so my first instinct was to do a little research on Nasonex. I was quite surprised by all the negative side affects. Though I read the prescription insert, I was not prepared to experience so many reactions. Curious that some patients have not experienced any side effects and have benefited quite well. | F | 58 | 4 months 50mcg 1X day | 5/30/2011 |
