| 4 | allergic Rhinitis | Part 02 January 29, 2010: So anyway i tried taking some magnesium supplements and everything seems to be on its way to being much better now...my symptoms are alot less. Zinc and Potassium are also minerals that should be supplmented during use of a corticosteroid. People need to understand that every drug taken for a singular purpose has a multiplicity of potential side effects. No drug is good or bad it just has to be seen for what it is and what it does or can do. Feel free to e-mail me. I would love to hear other experiences with this drug and mineral supplementation to alleviate symptoms. | M | 27 | 2 months 4 sprays 1X day | 1/28/2011 | 5 | ear pressure, allergies | None! | Great drug! I've been taking it in conjunction with Flonase and they work fantastically together. I was having problems with pressure in my ears and have always had allergies and living in the Ohio Valley did not help! Allergies are horrible, had none when I lived in Cali! Would recommend this drug but do be mindful of the side effects and educate yourself before you take it. It is a steroid- can mask the symptoms of infections that you may have and are not aware of. Cardio issues, etc can occur. Educate yourself before taking any medication. | F | 36 | 30 days 50 mcg 1X day | 1/27/2011 | 2 | Chronic sinusitis | Loss of smell. | It keeps me from getting into nasal congestion if I use it daily, which I have for the previous 3-4 years since I got a serious bout of sinus infection. But I lost my sense of smell. When my family mentions why I did not smell the smoke or cooking gas left on without fire, I got scared and stopped using Nasonex for 3 weeks, smell sense has not recovered but now I have a sinus congestion and post nasal drip after recovering from viral infection, I have gone back to using Nasonex as the doctor recommends it is needed to dry up the post nasal drip problem. | M | 42 | 4 years 2 puffs 1X day | 1/23/2011 | 1 | allergies, post nasal drip | I have no idea how this drug got FDA approval. The side effects are far worse than the therapeautic benefit. I started with one spray in each nostril once a day and cut it down to one spray in one nostril per day because of extreme headaches and nausea. That didn't change things, and now I have pressure in my ears as well as debilitating fatigue now, so bad I can hardly function. I sleep all weekend. I don't recommend this drug! | I've been irrigating my sinuses daily for a month, I'd rather continue that without the Nasonex and hope for the best. | F | 48 | 10 days 1 spray 1X day | 1/23/2011 | 1 | Nasal Problems | high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, mood swings, hot flashes, anger outbursts | Does anybody want to join in a lawsuit with me against this company????? | M | 30 | 3 years 2X day | 1/20/2011 | 1 | Allergies, Chronic Sinus Congestion | In order of severity: dry nose, slight nose bleed, dull head pain in the various sinus cavities, intermittent sharp inner ear pain, intermittent sharp right ear lobe pain, night sweats, insomnia, tremors at night, rapid heart rate, pounding heart, tachycardia at night, severe anxiety, nervousness, bp 184/100 + extreme dizziness, extreme sharp lightning bolt pain in right forehead leading to right eye droop and right foot dragging. | Well, i have to give it to the manufacturer, this product did work exceedingly well to clear up my sinus congestion. However, the cure is far worse than the disease. Using this product left me wondering if battery acid (in solution of HCL) would have been a better formulation. The side effects are worse than terrible, and to some people could be life threatening. Symptoms cleared up after about 10 days of being Nasonex free... | M | 38 | 10 days 1 spray 1X day | 1/11/2011 | 2 | Sinus Infection | Blurred vision, anxiety, depression. | I was thrilled with Nasonex during the first couple weeks of using it (sinuses felt open, no sinus pressure) but after about a month I noticed my eyesight was getting very blurred. Went to my opthomogist who said my eyes were perfectly healthy. Asked my Allergist who prescriped the drug and was told that it wasn't the Nasonex. After reading this site I stopped using it cold turkey. One month later my eye sight is getting clearer and the anxiety/panic attacks are gone. I will never take Nasonex again. | F | 36 | 6 months 2 sprays 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | experienced frightening side effects while taking nasonex and experienced withdrawals once stopped using. if anyone wishes to speak more regards the side effects please contact me at [email protected] there are thing you can do to help reduce side effects taking magnisium will help with joint pain... | 43 | 6 months 30mg 1X day | 12/27/2010 | 1 | allergies | rapid, irregular heart beat, pounding heart beat, insomnia, fatigue, all steadily and considerably increasing over the 3 days I've been taking Nasonex. | I do high intensity interval training so i know what adrenaline feels like. It feels like I've been on an adrenaline rush for 3 days since I started taking Nasonex. My urine smells like I've been drinking 5 cups of strong coffee every day. I haven't been drinking any. It takes me hours to fall asleep and I wake up early and I can't sleep anymore but I'm feeling progressively more fatigued. Today when I woke up I had a fast, irregular, pounding heart beat for about 45 minutes. No more Nasonex for me. I won't use this again. | M | 40 | 3 days 50mcg x 4 1X day | 12/24/2010 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | Thick, dark red (almost black) blood when blowing nose or clearing throat - but only once in the whole day and only following the day on which i take Nasonex.Rest of the day when i blow my nose or clear my throat it is thick, but white. | I suffered with allergic rhinitis about once in 7-10 days for 24 hours for several years in India from age 21-26, untreated. Then i moved to Australia and it disappeared by itself (Hint - sometimes a change in climate can help!). But after a good break of 5 years it returned and i suffered for another 5 years before i finally saw a doctor about it who put me onto Nasonex and it worked like magic. My problem disappeared almost instantly. My doctor prescribed 2 puffs in each nostril daily. But i only took it as one puff in each nostril and every alternate day. So in effect i take only a quarter of the dose he prescribed and only in the warmer months. In winter i have absolutely no need of Nasonex as i am fine without it. However in the last 2 months (after taking Nasonex for over 2 years) i have developed the blood in the nose/throat and will be seeing my doctor about it. | M | 39 | 2 years 50mcg 1X O | 12/14/2010 | 1 | sinus /allergy problems | Please don't take this thing. I've had all the bad side effects and I'm otherwise healthy, just seasonal allergies and sinus issues, but nothing like the moodiness, joint pain, killer headache, ear pain/pressure/ringing that came with this product. And that's just in 2 weeks. My husband has been taking this for at least a couple years and he's being treated now for depression! He's gained weight and he's all aches and pains all over. I'll show this to him. I also found this site because I don't take anything else but nasonex and I had not felt this sick at all before. Thanks to all of you. | F | 43 | 14 days 1X day | 12/10/2010 | 3 | Severe Hayfever | I have an update to these side effects. I have been experiencing them now for about six weeks. What I've discovered after having been to numerous doctors and having all sorts of tests etc is that I have been on the verge of suffering from adrenal fatigue. Naxonex contains corticosteroids which mimics the cortisone - the hormone that produces adrenaline. When I took the Nasonex, it basically pushed my adrenals over the edge producing classic adrenal exhaustion symptoms - such as numbness and hot/cold areas of the body due to poor blood distrobution and really bad insomnia. Do a search on adrenal fatigue and you'll come up with many of the symptoms we all experience. I read that a very high percentage of the population suffer from adrenal fatigue. It would make sense then, that this medication could affect many people by boosting their adrenaline to the extreme - the symptoms of which are very nasty indeed. It also explains why others, who may have normal levels of adrenaline and not | M | 48 | 2 sprays 1X day | 12/9/2010 Patient History | 1 | NASAL STUFFINESS TROUBLE BREATHING | HAD A BLOOD TEST WHILE TAKING THIS & BLOOD WORK SHOWED HYPOTHYROID - PAIN IN FACE EAR PLUGGED PRESSURE IN FACE & EARS NUMBNESS & TINGELING ON LIPS AND MOUTH NUMB, GOING OFF CAUSED ME SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS & ANXIETY | NOW TAKING ANXIETY MED TO BE ABLE TO COPE, BEEN OFF 2 WEEKS STILL FEELING VERY WEEK AND SHAKEY ESPECIALLY IN AM | F | 51 | 30 days 17GM 2X day | 12/3/2010 | 1 | nasal polyps | intense stabbing headache pains, irregular bleeding, PMS hormone feelings, terrible super spacey head feeling, aches & pains, high blood pressure 158/110, 153/10, achey pain in my legs, don't sleep as well | Fluticasone does work well to clear up a stuffy nose. I can breathe well through my nose. I have asthma and allergies. About 2 years ago Nasonex was prescribed by an ENT to use because of nasal polyps. He said if I used this medication I didn't need the surgery. I don't remember him telling me it was a steroid. Also, I haven't used this medication regularly every day. I'd use it for months, then stop it, then start it again and then stop it - every time I breathe fine I guess I ended up not using it. But about 3 weeks to a month ago I found one that would expire this spring so I thought I might as well use it - I wasn't breathing as well. Sept - Nov is typically my worst allergy season so I figured that using it might help. I had such bad experiences with inhaled steroids that I never ever would have used it had I known it was a steroid. | F | 54 | 2 years 50 mcg 1X day | 11/27/2010 | 5 | Severe Allergic Rhinitis | Maybe a little more awake than usual. My allergies made me Feel sleepy all the time. It's actually a welcomed side effect. | No issues so far. Will keep everyone posted. | M | 47 | 3 weeks 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 1 | Sinus headaches | Headaches, Vertigo previous post on 17/11 | This drug does work wonderfully initially but I never had bad side effects until 4 months into taking it. I have now been off it for 6 days and are feeling better already. The head fullness has gone and the Vertigo is only happening when I am resting and not near as bad. I dont feel like my BP is elevated as previously. I have been taking Magnesium so I hope that is helping. Im not as anxious as I was a week ago. Dont be scared to go off it you will feel better. I think a score of 2.2 definitely warrants further investigations. | F | 47 | 6 months 2X day | 11/23/2010 | 4 | allergies | has worked really well I have had headaches but i even get then when using a saline spray | since using this spray as well as additional hayfever tablets it has helped me alot. im not sneezing no where as much as i previously had been. I also have read thru the other stories and just to say all drugs have side effects and it come different to every one. all the mentioned side effects on here are actually on the info sheet that the chemist should give u when u get ur script. it is not harmless it is a corticosteroid. u may experience some all or none of them. if u get side effects u should c ur doc straight away!!!! | F | 25 | 1 months 50mg 1X day | 11/21/2010 | 5 | HAYFEVER | The drug works fabulously. I took anti-histamines for years and hayfever would not be reduced much, with bad days being unbearable. I am a pretty severe hayfever sufferer. With nazonex most days i am unaffected by hayfever and on the bad days i am still affected a little bit with itchy eyes and with a cough. I take anti-histamine eye drops which together with nazonex makes it work better. | This site is obviously just filled with the people who have problems, (like most forums), I think the rating doesn't reflect the actual satisfaction of this drug. I know a few people who take it and have the same feeling as me. People with no problems are not going to google "nasonex" side affects... so don't be afraid to take this if your doctor prescribes it. | M | 28 | 2 months 50PG 2X day | 11/20/2010 | 1 | Sinus headaches | Headaches 2 to 3 times a week. Extreme vertigo. Feel like my head is going to explode. Neck pain. Eye pain. Ringing in the ears. slight constant pain in the ears. Vivid dreams. Insomnia. High blood pressure. Face flushed. | Like other people it initially worked well. But I was gobsmacked when I got on this site and there are so many other people with the same symptons. I am scared to take it now. I asked my doctor how long I could take it and he said forever if needed. 2 months ago I went back to him for Vertigo and he gave me Sert which fixed the severity of the dizziness but I still get it on a smaller scale. The thing is he gave me another script for Nasonex without telling me it was probably the Nasonex causing it in the first place. I dont want to take it again but lots of people have said dont go cold turkey. I have been tempted to take myself to hospital a couple of times. Worried.. | F | 47 | 6 months 2X day | 11/17/2010 | 1 | Allergies | Headaches, mood swings, insomnia, tremors, abdominal pain, vomitting episodes | The dr. ordered 2 sprays in each nostril for my 11 & my 35lb. 6 yr old, and would give it before going to sleep. My 6 yr old had episodes of vomitting during the night and be fine during the day. He also came to my bedside one night with arm tremors. I took him to the doctors and a neurologist for this. We stopped the med around the end of September and these symptoms have gone away. I was telling my neighbor how the children had gotten better since being off the med and she stated that she said,"Oh my, it all makes sense now". She had taken Nasonex for a few months earlier this year and was having episodes of insomnia, dizzyness and nausea, and was seeing a neurologist for this. She said that the symptoms started when she was on the med & stopped when she was not taking it. This med is dangerous. I feel terrible that I was trying to help the kids and this med was hurting them. My older son that was taking this has a heart condition as well, and it scares me that when he was having chest pain that it could possibly have been due to the medication. Both children would have trouble falling asleep and wake up repeatedly during the night and not be able to fall back asleep. My old son would also keep saying, "I keep blanking out". He could not focus on something and when he would be working on something he would easily forget what he was doing. Very scary but thankful we figured out what was causing the issues and that they are off it now. | M | 6 | 6 months 4 sprays 1X day | 11/16/2010 |
