| 1 | runny nose -allergy | Insomnia, nervousness, anger, gained weight, general uneasyness | I never thought Nasonex could be to blame for my problems. Now it all makes sense. The sleeping problems have been terrible. The persons responsible for this drug should be wacked around the head with a marble statue. I am never taking this again. | M | 48 | 8 years 2 sprays 2X day | 4/27/2011 | 1 | sinus and nasal congestion | none while taking it, except for a bit of blood in discharge. | my perscription ran out, so i stopped taking it...couple of days went by and i started experiencing weird head rush/heart palpitations, stiff neck, jaw pain, very bad sinus pressure (felt like my face was being pulled down, ringing in ears, insomnia, balance was a bit off) are these withdrawl symptoms? if so how long do they last, because i've been having them for about 3 1/2 weeks. I've been to two doctors and none of them could help me. any suggestions? | F | 17 | 3 months 30 ml 2X day | 4/27/2011 | 1 | Sinus infection | Headaches, dizziness, blurred vision and severe panic and anxiety attacks | Initially, this drug worked really well. After about 3 weeks of taking it my sinuses seemed cured with no more pressure and congestion. I stopped taking for about a week and then started taking it again for one week. It didn't work so well this time. I got REALLY bad headaches like someone had a tension rod in my head putting pressure on both sides and really bad sinus pain and pressure. I also started having severe anxiety and panic attacks that felt like I was going to lose my mind. My vision also became blurred which I thought was due to sinus problems but now I can see it was this horrid drug! Please do not take a drug just because a doctor tells you to take it. Do your own research first.........I wish that I had looked at this site before taking it. | F | 39 | 30 days 30mg 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Bloating, Severe headaches, paranoia, anger, insomina, neck pain, back pain., jaw pain, constipation, fatigue, severe facial swelling, vision problems. | I am 22-year old healthy male. Nasonex was given to me as an innocent drug for sinus relief. Instead, it gave me horrible panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, rage, my face is severely swollen, insomnia. As a result, I got into horrible arguments with family and friends, and I alienated myself from the world. I got into a car accident. I have lost my sense of taste. Thank you all for your postings and they are why I am posting. I lost two months of my life and much more to this awful drug. If you feel anything like this, STOP THIS DRUG IMMEDIATELY. I wish I had known earlier. I hate this world of poison. | M | 22 | 2 months 30 2X day | 3/29/2011 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis | I had severe insomnia, dry mouth, coughing, severe congestion | After using Nasoxex, I was sicker than before taking it. I missed a whole month of work because of insomnia and congestion at night that just could not be relieved. I had anxiety and panic attacks. This medication cost me loss of income and I had to withdraw from college courses due to taking this medicine because of absences. I stopped taking this medication and then was told by the ENT doctor it takes two to three weeks to work. After week three, I stopped altogether. It takes time to get yourself back on track after stopping this medication. | F | 49 | 21 days 30mg 1X day | 3/29/2011 | 1 | Sinus infection | Insomnia | The first day I took this, I only took one dose. Two sprays in each nostril. I had some trouble sleeping at night, took me about 2-3 hours. I was also taking nighttime cold medicine which normally makes me fall asleep pretty fast. The second day, I took 2 sprays in each nostril, twice a day, so 4 sprays. I could not sleep at ALL the entire night. I didn't have any other symptoms bothering me, except a cough and headache (not from Nasonex). Tried everything and could not relax and fall asleep. Also felt somewhat anxious. I stopped taking it because I need to sleep! I can't imagine what I'd be like if I took it for more than the two days I did. | F | 21 | 2 days 2 sprays 2X day | 3/27/2011 | 1 | Sinus Infection | increased heart rate, anxiety/panicky feeling, major sleep disturbance, stomach ache, some dizziness | I am SO glad I found this site! ...thought I was going crazy for a while here. This feeling of constant heart flutters and anxiety (I don't really know how to describe it) is HORRIBLE! I didn't realize it was my heart racing until I finally felt my pulse. Geez. Why aren't there any warnings about this on all of those commercials!??? | F | 27 | 3 days 2 puffs 2X day | 3/26/2011 | 1 | Polyps, Allergic Rhinitis | Original symptoms were in my right ear only, feeling like at high altitude. As it turned out it caused by polyps in my right sinuses. Been taking Nasonex for 5 days and the nose is clear, but developed ear pressure in both ears. | Going to stop the spray right now and will try natural alternatives. Grateful for this site and for all of you who comments. Watch with care and suspicion whenever you start taking any drugs. This is all business, no one else cares about us if we don't. | F | 54 | 5 days 2 puffs 2X day | 3/22/2011 | 1 | Persistant cough | Dr. not sure why I have this cough and gave me a sample to try for a week. By 3rd day, I was itching like crazy all around my ankles and my wrists. I itched during the night without realizing what I was doing and they were bleeding the next day. I stopped right after that. Still coughing! | F | 63 | 3 days 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 2 | Fluid behind the left ear | Nausea - Awake all night | I was very dissapointed with Nasonex. I went to the doctor and explained about the noises in the ear, about 2 months now, it has also affected my sleep. He prescribed Nasonex and felt good to start with and cleared my nose but could not get to sleep and was experience slight cramp in my legs. After looking at the comments on this sight it was a great help and will not take it again, it is going in the bin, do not want to experience another night like last night. Will suffer the noises in my head and the blocked sinuses. !!! | F | 47 | 1 days One spray 1X day | 3/11/2011 | 3 | COLD | Caught a cold. Sinuses were completely blocked. dr prescribed nasonex. It cleared up somewhat my sinuses but my nose and throat got progressively dry and harsh. In addition I woke up with a terribly sinus headache and clogged ears. This is after 4 days of using itthanks to this website i understand wht. | M | 45 | 5 days 2 2X day | 3/9/2011 | 2 | allergy. rhinitis | a very bad sinus headache and feeling very anxious and panicky, stomach ache, diahorrea. Raised heartbeat. Aching neck, waking up early. | First few days I was happy because I could finally breathe through my nose. But then I got suspicious and started reading the side effects on the leaflet,hardly anything was mentionned. So I searched further and luckily found this website. I can see a clear link with my sudden symptoms and am stopping taking this today. Very grateful to everyone who has posted their experience of this as I've only been using it for a week, so limited damage. It's very effective in clearing the nose however, so maybe it's O.K for someone who doesn't suffer from these side effects or who is an extreme case. Maybe allergy sufferers are more sensitive to steroids? I have had similar reactions using an inhaler. So I'll go back to my stuffy nose rather than have the side effects from this drug. I will try the measures suggested in this forum: homeopathy and saline spray. | F | 42 | 1 weeks standard 1X day | 3/2/2011 | 3 | allergies | loss of balance, dizziness, loss of sense of smell, insomnia, fever blisters, irritability | Nasonex did work very effectively for my allergies, but side effects, I now know from this database, were extreme. I have been off Nasonex for three weeks, and my side effects have disappeared. I have been on antipsychotic medication for years, and when I went to my psychiatrist with complaints of loss of balance, he attributed the balance problem to the long-term use of antipsychotics. But in three weeks without Nasonex I have had a remarkable improvement in balance, so much so that I would consider that Nasonex is the primary culprit. I had used Nasonex off and on for four years, and that is how long I had balance problems. I am now using Ayr, a saline solution, for some improvement in the allergies and without any of the negative side effects. In addition, my sense of smell has returned to a normal state. | F | 64 | 4 years 1X day | 2/26/2011 | 1 | Allergies | First night after used Nasonex, had headache in middle of night and took an aspirin, Second night after used Nasonex had headache in middle of night and took an aspirin. Next day had a moderate stroke. | Heart specialist said Nasonex ABSOLUTELY did not cause stroke, family doctor said Nasonex probably did not cause stroke. I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. This happened 4 years ago when I was 73. | M | 77 | 2 days Not sure 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 1 | allergies | dizziness, vertigo, heart palpitations, light-headedness, jittery, nervous, sore and bleeding inside of nose. | I was happy about this at first--I could breathe again. But when my nose gets sore and I try to go off it, I get so dizzy that I can't function. I'm wondering if the dizziness and vertigo are made worse by the drug. Can't stop cold turkey but will try to wean off of it. Am trying nasal irrigation (very soothing after the initial shock!) I was surprised and displeased to see some of the other symptoms listed because I have those too and thought they were caused by something else. | F | 58 | 1 years 30 mg 2X day | 2/17/2011 | 1 | sinus problems and ear blockage | terrible insomnia for over one week before i began to suspect the nasonex. glad i found this website..didnt see anything in literature that alluded to insomnia.will never take this again also had increased depression and irritability. | F | 49 | 6 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 2/14/2011 | 1 | sinus problems and ear blockage | terrible insomnia for over one week before i began to suspect the nasonex. glad i found this website..didnt see anything in literature that alluded to insomnia.will never take this again also had increased depression and irritability. | F | 49 | 6 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 2/14/2011 | 4 | sinus problems | Sometimes the common side effects | I had the same problem taking this medication at first for a while then my doctor had me tell him how I took the medication and he told me I was taking it the wrong way. Most people sniff the spray as there taking it you're not suppose to its not like taking an asthma pump. You are suppose to point the in your nose spray and let it drip down people with fluid behind the ears you're suppose to point it twards your ear in each nostril. Hope those are helpful tips | F | 23 | 10 times 2X day | 2/11/2011 | 1 | Deviated Septum | Vomiting, diarrhea, stomache ache, acne problems. | I was nasonex two time before this time. I was told the first time I had polyps but then in Jan this year I went to an ENT and I have a deviated septum. Both time before this time, one week and one day later I was vomitting, had diarrhea, and a bad stomach ache. The second time, I started to have all the side effects from the first time and now acne problems. This time, I was told I HAVE to take it to have my surgery done. I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE AT ALL. | F | 18 | 2 weeks 1X day | 2/11/2011 | 3 | Chronic Sinus Congestion | Some dryness in the nose (can increase chance of bloody nose) | Gives a mild improvement to nasal congestion. Nothing to get really excited about. If you have really bad congestion like I do, it is very helpful, though. Has a nice flowery smell, with no aftertaste, unlike some similar meds. | M | 44 | 10 years 2X day | 2/10/2011 |
