| 5 | Allergies | None | I went to an allergist about two months ago because my late summer and fall allergies were getting worse each year. I would have sneezing fits where I couldn't stop and would wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning with sneezing and stuffy nose. OTC helped to some extent, when I remembered to take it. Nasonex has helped me greatly. | F | 35 | 2 months 2X day | 9/8/2010 | 3 | sinus poblems from allergies | dizziness, lightheadedness, weird stomach problems, sinking feeling, weird dreams, heart palpitations | Initially it was wonderful, helping shrink my sinuses. However, I have slowly been experiencing side effects and after reading everyone's posts, I am going to get off of this drug. I will rely on my neti pot. | F | 61 | 2 months 1X day | 9/5/2010 | 1 | nasal congestion | sneezing as soon as i used it and dryed out my nose..didnt do a thing to help me, only made it feel stuffier. | F | 49 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/30/2010 | 1 | seasonal allergies | sleeplessness, agressiveness, dizziness, feeling like passing out, rapid heartbeat and feeling like you are totally wasted. | nearly passed out at work this week and was taken to the dr....was diagnosed as having a viral infection and was sent home....came on here to check on the side effects and found out my symptoms are just like everyone else has...no more nasonex for me | M | 45 | 1X day | 8/28/2010 | 1 | allergies/sinuses | headaches/I become aggressive/stoped using when between the bridge of nose and eye veins broke leaving my right looing like someone had hit me. Also lost weight as food tasted so bad. | Not for me I am using nasel strips at night and this helps alot would not touch nasonex no matter what. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X day | 8/24/2010 Patient History | 1 | seasonal allergies | This website was very helpful. Finally figured out my side effects are attributed to this med. Anxiety, trouble getting to and staying asleep, headache that is not treatable. An overall 'bewildered' feeling and I am a high functioning person. | Used this during allergy season. Worked very well on symptoms but not worth the side effects, now that I have figured this out. | F | 58 | 1 years 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 3 | Spring/summer allergies/stuffy nose | Slight headaches...nothing else to make note of | I've been taking Nasonex for about 2 1/2 weeks now. It does help keep me clear (mostly) throughout the day. I do 2 sprays in each nostril in the morning. I would have rated it a "4" if not for the price. $50 per bottle is excessive (for the results the product gives me), and that $50 bottle covers me for 1 month (4 sprays per day divided by 120 sprays per bottle). I guess I would recommend this if not for the price. Nasonex has been much better on me than Rhinocort. | M | 33 | 2 weeks 1X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | headaches on the right side and back of the head, dizziness, loss of balance, blurred vision, irritability, tingling sensation in head, lightheadedness, ear pain | Posted previously on 07/21/10. Stopped taking Nasonex on 07/14/10 - still exoperiencing headaches and dizziness, ear pain caused by fluid buildup in ear. Its getting better slowly. I never imagined these horrible side effects would last this long. Just hoping they will eventually go away. Would never recommend this medicine to anyone. By the time I started having these side effects, the medicine was built up in my system, taking forever for the side effects to get better. Have gone through hell for the past 2 months! Anyone know how long these side effects last? | F | 40 | 3 months 2X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | anxiety, headaches, insomnia, visual disturbance | After a week of using this twice a day, I started to have visual problems and severe anxiety and mood swings. Dr. prescribed Xanax and said that steroids can cause a reaction like this but that she had never heard of it happening with nasal steroids. So glad I found this site so I know it is not just me!! I have been off the Nasonex for approximately a week and am starting to feel better but not back to normal. I will NEVER take this again and would NEVER recommend it to anyone. | F | 36 | 7 days 2X day | 8/12/2010 | 5 | hay fever, allergies | No side effects | I've had allergies and hay fever for about 8 years now, and it keeps getting worse, even with once or twice yearly trips to the ENT. I've been on Nasonex for a couple of weeks now after my latest trip to the doctor, and it's been very effective. During some bad spells, I've been sneezing 30~50 times per day, runny nose, etc. Nasonex cleared it right up and so far has been very effective. I don't really like taking medications for fear of developing resistance, so I will probably stop after a few days to see how bad it gets again, but for now, I've been very satisfied. I can now breathe with both nostrils, sneeze once or twice a day at most, no runny nose, etc. On a side note, I've seen some people complaining about the price of Nasonex, and that seemed strange, so I looked up the prices. Oh, my God! I saw prices ranging from 50~100 dollars! That's ridiculous. Why is it so expensive in the US? I'm in South Korea, and one bottle cost something like 3 or 4 dollars with a prescription. Of course we have a good national health care system, so something like 60~70% of most medications are paid through insurance, but that still makes it around 10 dollars without insurance. I know health care costs in the US is expensive, but I had no idea it was this bad. | M | 39 | 15 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Sinus/allergies | Fatigue, depression, irritability, extreme anxiety | Worked effectively for the sinuses and allergies but the side effects made it impossible to continue. I was miserable and it was insidious until the irritability and anxiety kicked in. I will never take this again!! Glad I figured it out, saved me a trip the psychiatrist! Felt better as soon as it was discontinued, 5 days to normal. | F | 59 | 3 months 50 mcg 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I would wake-up in the morning with terrible head-aches as if i drank 12 beers the night before. The back of my skull felt like it was going to pop-off. Also, on other nights, i would wake-up to terrible re-occuring nightmares. If it wasnt a nightmare then it would be a vivid, intense, and very stressful dreams. | My Dr. prescribed this to me for a constant post nasal drip problem. I have never had side effects from other medicines. | M | 42 | 1 months 1X day | 8/9/2010 | 1 | allergy | Light headed, can't sleep and racing heart. Headache and funny taste in my mouth. Having seen the other posts I will stop taking this med and hope the side effects go away ASAP. I feel terrible | F | 55 | 35 days 4X day | 7/29/2010 | 2 | eustachian tube inflammation | 20 minutes after spraying Nasonex into my nose my heart rate jumped to 104 | It was too short a time to tell if there were any beneficial effects for an inflammed eustachian tube because I have stopped using it after only two doses. Anything that raises heart rate 30-40 points is having other effects that may be unknown. Don't believe your doctor when he says the drug is not absorbed systemically. If it were not why then would it cause tachycardia and glaucoma? Doctors should stop getting their education about drugs from the pharmaceutical sales rep and read the science for themselves. | F | 57 | 2 days 1 spray 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 2 | Glue Ear | Anxiety, irritability, minor headaches, heart racing | Cleared nose blockage effectively but not glue ear | M | 38 | 2 weeks 2 shots 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 1 | sinus drainage | head pressure, especially on the right side, severe dizziness-so bad I couldn't drive, balance and vision problems, headaches | Started noticing symptoms after about 2 months of use. Have stopped taking it now. It's been a week, but still having the side effects. Does anyone know how long it takes to go away? | F | 40 | 3 months 2X day | 7/21/2010 | 1 | Constant clogging in one nostril | Horrible. Thought I was having a flu come on late in the second week. Sore throat, felt like swollen glands, blinding headache, body pains and finally nose bleed. Side effects are so bad they don't respond to Tylenol and was only able to get a few hours of relief when using 800mg of ibuprofen. Also trouble sleeping - like anxiety. I have been off Nasonex now for 3 days and the headaches and throat issue have not subsided. Happy I found this site because I felt like this was never going to end. | The reaction to this is so bad that I will likely never take a nasal spray again. I think they need to do more trials on this product because the percentages of people they say that have the side effects don't appear to be consistant with how many people are posting problems. This product should be pulled from the market pending further studies. | F | 34 | 2 weeks 2 sprays 2X day | 7/19/2010 | 1 | Tinnitus | Started out that I was impressed with the effect it had on my tinnitus. After taking it for two weeks, I started with very bad headaches, chest pain and heart attack type of symptoms. | My ENT Doc prescribed Nasonex after being on beconase for many years. He wanted me to try something "stronger" for my tinnitus and defective eustachian tube. | M | 61 | 14 days 2X day | 7/15/2010 | 1 | Allergic rhinitus | Building side effects over 2 months. Began w/ constant headache. Increased heart palpitations. So much that I ran off to cardiologist just to be sure things were ok. Building insomnia. Next came ears. My ears would open/close or feel as though they were being pressurized, to the degree of airplane flight. I steadly became increasingly fatigued. Meanwhile the other things were worstening. I became depressed and moody. Then I started with intermittant dizziness that grew into steadily worstening loss of balance. Then added to that I began to feel as though my head was swimming all the time. I was absolutley convinced that I had a brain tumor. | I stopped Nasonex..not because of knowing about it's side effects, but because I figured that PERHAPS the reason for the migraines was dry sinuses, and that the migraines were causing the other symptoms. After a week off Nasonex, everything stopped.I feel normal. I'm glad I found this database! It totally validates everything I've been feeling since May. I have a stuffy nose, but I feel normal again. I'll be going to discuss this w/ my ENT next week. | F | 45 | 2 months 1 puff/nos 2X day | 7/10/2010 | 5 | allergies | use less than prescribed; but in combination with ClaritonD generic, it is perfect for allergies except occasional nose dryness/blood. | It is one of a kind and the cost is prohibitive. I am attempting to find comparable or generic of similar. | F | 52 | 2 years 1X day | 7/6/2010 |
