| 5 | spring pollen alleries | I found this to be a very potent and effective drug. However, since I read comments here before taking the drug I was determined to avoid side effects by taking the drug very SPARINGLY, not as prescribed. I could feel some agitation even with a single dose and have used it only when symptoms were strong. It helped immensely and immediately to relieve cough, pain in throat, sneezing, chest pain and sinus headaches. | Instead of relying only on this drug I also did a nasal cleaning with saline and a netti pot at least twice a day and used a silk mask both at home and outdoors as a physical protection from the pollen (obtained from the website achoo.com) | F | 59 | 5 weeks 1X AN | 4/19/2010 | 4 | severe allergies | I used Nasonex for 5 years. I have no sense of smell and sense of taste is diminished. My doctor said this is not a side effect. I now used it because of severe allergies , I live in Arizona. After 2 days I had severe burning pain in my hips to my toes. | F | 68 | 30 mg 1X day | 4/17/2010 | 2 | Sinus Infection | Was sample from Dr. Headache, everything tasted like medicine, smell senses aroused, nose burning. | On antibiotics for bad sinus infection and a steriod to calm all the inflamation down. Quiting Nasonex to see what is causing headache. Recall throwing the junk out one time before, because of bad side effects. | F | 50 | 2 days 1X day | 4/10/2010 | 1 | allergies | light headedness, dizziness, nervousness and anxiety-- especially when driving, unable to focus, fatigue | My doctor prescribed Nasonex about three years ago. I only take it seasonally--spring and fall, two sprays in each nostril once a day. I started again this March. I was fine the first couple of weeks, however, for the past two weeks, I have had these very weird feelings--light headedness,; anxiety, feeling like I'm going to pass out or fall asleep while driving. Also, it's hard for me to focus mentally-as if my head is in a fog. This happened several times while out shopping in a big open space like Target or Walmart. This is a very frightening experience. I'm so glad that I came upon this website. I am healthy-physically and mentally and have never felt anxiety before. I am going to stop taking Nasonex. | F | 44 | 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 1 | I had sinus surgery Dr prescribed | Dry mouth, nose bleeds dry eyes couldn't sleep I lost all sense of smell and taste, I told the Dr this stuff should be pulled from the market. It's been almost 2 yrs, and still have no smell or taste. | M | 59 | 2 months ?? 1X day | 4/2/2010 | 1 | allergy | Side effects were terrible, extreme anxiety, depression, felt like I was dying, weakness, loss of appetite..shortness of breath | This drug should never be used in children...I would suggest further testing by the FDA. | M | 57 | 6 days 2X day | 3/30/2010 | 3 | Allergies, Sinus Infection | After being on it for a few months my energy is zapped, blood pressure was climbing too high along w/heart palpitations & fluttering. I used 1 to 2 sprays daily never exceeding 2 sprays per nostral. | I love what it has done for my Sinus problems however I stopped using a few days ago and my BP rates are back to normal and the heart palps & fluttering are almost gone. This is scary! | F | 50 | 4 months 1 spray 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 2 | post sinus surgery | Extreme anxiety, insomnia and unsatiable appetite. | Helps my seasonal allergies and the doctor said it's important to use for 6 months post surgery to prevent scar tissue forming. Symptoms are almost unbearable. I will stop as soon as I can. Also use a saline nasal rinse 2 times/day. | F | 56 | 3 months 1X day | 3/24/2010 | 2 | Chronic sinusitis/allergies | Nose/head cleared up almost immediately. 2 shots each nostril, 2x a day for a couple of days. However, it also dried out every other mucus membrane in my head -- eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Made my mouth unbearably dry -- gums turned white and swelled, and tongue swelled up. Roof of my mouth turned cold. ENT said he never saw a side effect like this. Had me tested for several autoimmune diseases (Sjogren's, R.A., etc.)Said it wasn't an allergic reaction (not seeing this ENT anymore!) 2 weeks later and still dealing with side effects -- going to dentist tomorrow to see how badly my mouth is messed up. Gums around my teeth are starting to bleed when I brush my teeth. | If it works for you, great. Just be aware that if your mouth becomes really dry, it'll take a good long while for it to go away, and in the meantime, it's extraordinarily uncomfortable -- I described the feeling as "extreme discomfort, just short of pain." | F | 31 | 4 days 100 mcg 2X day | 3/22/2010 | 1 | Chronic allergies / Sinusitis | Severe tremors, heart racing, kept waking up at night, migraine headaches, pain in knees, sore throat & trachea feels like razor blades in there, cough, chest tightness, pressure behind eyes, nausea, diarrhea, burning sensation in upper back, anxiety. Stopped taking this drug. Going back to my OTC allergy med & natural remedies. Mild side effects may occur my eye! This stuff is scary! Thought I was going to have a heart attack last night. But strangely enough none of these side effects are listed on any websites when I was researching this drug. I am writing the FDA about this. Never again. Acupuncture & Yoga here I come, don't need to be poisoned by Big Pharma anymore! Took this drug for 10 days last year & couldn't even breathe through my nose at all, it was horrible. | A good way to flush this stuff out is make a warm tea of honey & 2 & a half tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Drink twice a day. When you start to feel better go down to once a day. It helps with sinusitis as well. I drink it every day. | F | 41 | 2 days 200 mcg 1X day | 3/21/2010 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | Major headache (whole head hurt), eye pain, Day 2 Hives outbreak | DO NOT TAKE THIS MED!!! | F | 38 | 2 days 30 1X day | 3/20/2010 | 2 | allergies | I experienced terrible pressure in my head and ears, and was not noticing improvement of symptoms. | F | 47 | 8 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 2 | sinus inflamation | This worked great for my sinus issues, unfortunatly after about a month I began developing side effects, that I just now realize after reading the posts here, is caused by Nasonex. I have feelings of anger (I'm a laid back guy), have numbness in my left thumb, extreme gas and diarrhea, wild dreams. I will no longer take this medication. | M | 47 | 6 weeks 1X day | 3/18/2010 | 1 | sinus problems | Wthin 4 hours of taking this drug I started getting a rush all over my left arm and back. Then it followed the extremely sore throat and an agonising cough.I have not been able to sleep now for the last three nights. I went back to see my doctor but even him did not have a clue what was going on so he decided to prescribe some anti-histamine tablets which have not helped at all. The thought of swallowing anything is petrifying as it feels very much like razor blades cutting my throat to pieces.The breathing gets worse as the day progresses into the evening and then the sleepless night! Back to the doctor tomorrow hopefully to get some kind of antibiotics to clear this mess! | More research should be done about this drug before doctors prescribe it freely to patients. | M | 53 | 1 days 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Was put on nasonex about 3 months ago for nasal congestion. Dr. gave me a refillable prescription. | Went for a physical last month and blood pressure was in the danger zone 155/80. At first I didn't link it to Nasonex and just thought I might have to be on BP meds if this continues. Last week I started to look at nasonex side effects and found this site. I stopped using nasonex last wed and my BP are slowly getting better. Looked up nasonex's website and there's no mention of elevated BP as a side-effect. But if you look up side-effects of glucocorticoid steroids: irregular heartbeat and elevated bp is one of the major ones. Wonder if we can sue nasonex for this!? | M | 31 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 3/10/2010 | 4 | Polyps. Had surgery. | I have been using Nasonex for 4 days so far and have no serious complaints. The only thing that has bothered me is my throat hurt for a day but its getting better and I have trouble sleeping *That also is getting better*. | I can't say why I was put on Nasonex {not sure} but I imagine its to help keep the polyps away since I just had surgery to get them removed 3 weeks ago. Along with taking Nasonex I am taking Singulair because of the sneezing I am having {Past year I have developed allergies}. Nasonex so far hasn't done anything bad but what people need to understand when reading comments by other people in relation to a drug is that just because a group of people had one thing happen to them it doesn't mean the same will happen to you. Reaction to drugs just goes by who you are and your tolerance. If your DR told you to take it; then take it. If it botheres you to the point it harms your day to day life then contact your DR and tell them the issue he/she will tell you what step to take next. To many people stop taking a medication given to them by a DR without talking to their DR first. I see it everyday in my pharmacy. | F | 25 | 4 days 2 sprays 1X day | 3/6/2010 | 1 | congestion | Sore throat, ear irritation, inability to sleep, nausea, tightness in chest/ribs. | I have had congestion problems which led to breathing problems and this was going on for about a 20 year period. I have begun to live with it. I have tried many different medicines but no relief. I have tried Nasonex and was experiencing all kinds of problems. I have been doing yoga (Kapalbhaati) since the last 7 months and all my congestion and breathing problems are gone! Lots of energy now. | M | 38 | 2 months 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | fractured nose --> Swollen tissue | Head aches, slight burning in nose, bloody nose when blowing onto tissue paper, insomnia, depresion, feeling 'spaced out', breathing difficulties leading to panic attacks. | I posted on 12/6/2009, describing these side effects. Due to Nasonex, or not, I've been diagnosed with excersize-enduced asthma. I've never had it before, and I find it a bit too coincedental that I've been diagnosed with that just after I've finished Nasonex. Be very careful when using this product. | F | 20 | 5 weeks 2X day | 3/5/2010 | 3 | inflamed sinuses | This medication did succeed in unblocking my sinuses. Yet, for the past two days I have not been able to smell anything. Today I cannot taste my food or drink. The second day I had pains on the right hand side of my chest that would stop me in my tracks. I am worried that this medication may have killed my senses. Hopefully I am being over dramatic & they will reappear, hopefully not as I'm entering Glastonbury toilets! | F | 33 | 7 days 2 x 1X day | 2/28/2010 | 1 | Eustachian tube/Sinus stuffy | I posted 1/24/10. Since then it took two weeks to get to normal moods and the energy i had returned. Im back to six miles a day running and free weights every other day with 100 situps and 50 pushups with each workout everyday. Im 49. I did this work out program since i was 17 and i was down to barely a walk two times a week. Nasonex was going to slowly kill me and i didnt even think it was that. I looked like i had track marks on my arms i was alway sick no energy and you can read the post on 1/24. The big difference is i purchased a netti pot at walmart for 14 dollars (neilmed brand its there only one) and after stareing at it for 3 days and thinking it would make me vomit or water was going to go in and explode my head i finally did it. And there is no going back to poisonex ever again. I cant believe how great i can tastes food and smell smells i have been missing. And my ears the big thing i can hear soooooo great i cant tell you how good it feels.They pop normaly i can hear highs | I will never use nasonex or any drug in my body for my ears or sinus ever again unless ther is a culture done and it shows a need for drugs. I also told my doctor and fired him after 26 years of non stop blood test nasal probes and different drugs. | M | 49 | 9 months 2 Squirts 1X day | 2/28/2010 |
