| 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 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | had 3 incedents of heart palpitations and pounding heart beat | my son was instructed to spray once into each nostril twice a day, morning and before bedtime. 3 days out of the 7 he could not sleep because of a sligtly increased heart rate, pounding and irregular beats. It would die down about 3-4am when he could finally fall asleep. | M | 16 | 10 days 2X day | 11/15/2010 | 1 | allergy | Sleepless nights, moody and anxious. | Do not use for pediatric pt. Did not see efficacy only adverse events. | F | 2 | 14 days 50 mg 1X day | 11/11/2010 | 1 | excessive thick muccus from nose | extreme fatigue, enlarged glands & tonsils, mood swings, disturbed vision, headaches, barely able to get through the day | never again | F | 7 | 2 months 2X day | 11/11/2010 | 1 | allergies | dizziness,irritability, vision problems, loss of smell,numbness, joint point, weight gain, My two year grandson was also prescribed this medication at the same dosage. He became angry, mood swings,throwing things. | Do not give this medication to a young child no matter what. | F | 55 | 1 months 50mg 1X day | 11/10/2010 | 2 | joint swelling and pain | This works well enough to clear my sinuses but I had an unusual reaction: one of my fingers (and only one) became swollen and tender at the last joint. This went away when I stopped using Nasonex for a few days, then immediately came back the day I started using it again. | F | 31 | 7 days 1X day | 11/8/2010 | 1 | allergy | Severe head pressure, dry mouth and nose, red hot face, severe pounding headaches, anxiety, blurred vision, mood swings | Horrible drug | F | 42 | 30 days 1X day | 11/7/2010 | 1 | allergies | headaches, anxiety, ear pressure, red hot face, dried mouth and nose, pain in ears, sleeplessness | Horrible, please discontinue, if feeling pressure take beet juice or olive leaf oil ( but be careful) it lowers pressure, calm down by taking valerian root 3 pills (450 each) or stress relief tea by Yogi ( in any health store ) and STOP taking this spray! | F | 41 | 30 days 1X day | 11/7/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | dizziness, ear pain, headache, anxiety, pressure in head and ear, most problems were contained to the right side of my head | Just wanted to give an update. I've posted a couple of times before. I stopped taking nasonex on 07/14/10. I'm still dealing with these problems. Everything has gotten much better than it originally was, but none of it has gone completely away. I have been miserable since June. I would discourage anyone from ever using this drug. By the time you realize what's going on it's too late. Your life has been destroyed! I've been to the doctor more in the past 5 months than I have in my entire life combined. Stay away from this poison! | F | 41 | 3 months 2X day | 11/7/2010 | 5 | Severe environmental allergies | None. | Nasonex is a life saver. I've had severe environmental allergies (all tree and grasses) all my adult life and this is the first medication that actual helps me. | M | 33 | 6 months 2X day | 11/4/2010 | 1 | sinusitis | Massive headache, nausea and neck ache. | Massive headache from back of neck to temples, around the eyes, jaw muscles, behind the eyes and jaw muscles. Nausea. Sore arteries at front of neck. Felt like blood pressure wet though the roof and I don't have high blood pressure. | M | 42 | 1 days 2pmps/nost 1X day | 11/3/2010 Patient History | 1 | Allergies, Sinus Infections | These are my symptoms after slowing titrating myself off of nasonex for 1 week. I am on day two without using it at all and I am experiencing anxiety, sweaty palms, jitters, jaw soreness, and a general light headedness. My doctor believes these are withdrawal symptoms and that they should go away in 2 weeks. We will see. I would have to say that I have had less ear pressure and pain, less dizziness, and little vertigo since taking Nasonex less. I will update in one week. | Follow up to my post on 10/27/10. | F | 28 | 5 years 2 squirts 1X day | 11/3/2010 | 3 | Sinusitis | Anxiety, Dizziness, Nervousness, Heart palpitations / tachycardia | I don't know if this drug caused my symptoms or not. All I know is after one week of taking this + a standard antibiotic (cefdinir) I feel worse, and am so anxious I'm considering seeking psychiatric treatment (lack of sleep, constant feeling of fear, racing pulse, dizziness possibly brought on by anxiety). If this drug DOES cause these side effects (and the sheer number of comments in this database which list anxiety-related symptoms certainly suggest this, at least to me) it really bothers me that there is virtually NO documentation of this anywhere else on the internet. Would this not have been discovered in testing and thus documented somewhere scientifically? The whole scenario is just unsettling. | M | 27 | 7 days 2 pumps 1X day | 11/1/2010 | 1 | Fluid buildup in ears | My eyes focus very slowly, vision is very spotty, vivid dreams, feel "spaced out", Moody. | F | 41 | 6 days 25 2X day | 10/31/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis | Visual disturbance,fatigue,dry eyes,frequently going to the bathroom,itchy skin | I was prescribed this by my doctor,i didn't think a nasal spray would be causing these symptoms,luckily i googled it and found this site! I'm now putting it all together and the symptoms are exact to mine! I had bad sinus before taking Nasonex,and it deffinetly cleared up my sinuses,but it is so not worth the negative side affects! i stopped taking it lastnight....I still feel the effects today but im hoping they will disappear shortly,as it is affecting my work and social life! | F | 21 | 1.5 months 50mg 2X day | 10/27/2010 | 1 | Allergies, Sinus Infections | dizziness, vertigo, clouded thinking, feeling of fainting, anxiety, panic attacks, ear and sinus pressure, ear ringing, jaw pressure, numbness in hands, loss of taste, dried blood when blowing nose, nausea | I've been on nasonex on and off for five years and regularly for two years. I had multiple sinus infections and was relieved to have my doctor prescribe Nasonex for daily use initially. It definitely cleared my sinuses and my sinus infections became less frequent. In December 2009, I experienced what my doctors thought was a migraine headache- spotted vision, dizziness, vertigo, and a drop in blood pressure. I began to develop anxiety to what I thought were migraine symptoms. I became afraid to be at work, to drive, and to be in public because I thought I was going to faint. Recently, my vertigo has taken the form of my head feeling that it is being pushed to one side. After visiting my doctor, an ear/nose/throat, an allergist, and a headache specialist I just happened to type in Nasonex and side effects and found this website. I am going to begin titrating myself off of this medication tonight. Before 1-2 years ago, I was a healthy and happy person. Since then I've been dizzy, barely made it standing up in two weddings because I felt so dizzy and nauseous, and started seeing a therapist because I thought I had severe anxiety. I am a therapist myself and thought I was going crazy and didn't understand why. I had no idea that this medication was a steroid. Thank you to everyone that has posted on this site about their experience! | F | 28 | 5 years 1X day | 10/27/2010 |
