| 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.

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 | 3 | year-round allergies | Headaches across the forehead | This medicine really cleared up my runny nose and constant sneezing. I am taking it with Claritin. I am going to the allergist today to ask about the headaches. I tried taking 600 mil. of Ibuprophen but nothing helped. I had to go off it over the weekend to get rid of the headache and I couldn't sleep last night. I don't know if stopping the Nasonex was the cause. | F | 53 | 7 days 50 mcg 1X day | 10/25/2010 | 1 | (partner) to help with anger. | headache | my partner got prescription for this drug off his doctor after he went to get help for anger...the doctor told him due to him always being bungged up, having sleepless night, and eating inaproprated meal aday that this should help! hes 90% surton that this drug will helpwith his anger...now idont agree! i cant work out why a hayfever drug will help with anger plz can some1 help me on this.. | F | 22 | 2X day | 10/21/2010 | 2 | Increased PVC's (Palpaations) Felt very tired, Nose pain, anxious, insomnia. | I was feeling very unlike myself,and had no clue that this "Non steroidal wonder spray" was the culprit till I read all of these posts that are so similar to my experience. I am getting off the drug and really wish my ENT Doc would have warned me! | F | 45 | 2 months 30 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 1 | ALERGIC RHINITIS | I ALSO HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF SMELL & TASTE....BE IT THE MOST DELICIOUS DESSERT OR A WELL-BREWED COFFEE....PLEASE HELP I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO BACK TO SMELLING & TASTING.
