| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | pollen allergies | Horrendous side effects, even with cutting the dosage down to one spray in one nostril per day. Anxiety, insomnia, aggressive crabbyness, the worst was severe tendon pain--Dr. said no way, but FIVE times now I have gone off the drug, the pain goes away, then resume the drug, the tendonitis gets worse. | It's time for the FDA to insist that NASONEX include the effects of steroids in their labeling and patient literature. The reps love to say that with a spray it's not systemically absorbed, but the truth is, it's one of the MOST efficient ways to get a drug in your system. | F | 54 | 30 days 1 spr/nost 1X day | 4/26/2010 | 3 | seasonal allergies | dizziness | Ive taken nasonex before and never had the dizziness. I now wonder if its because of taking two sprays at once. I think I will cut back and see if it goes away. Disappointing as it really helps me manage spring and ragweed allergies. Might go back to Flonase as the side effects were less. | F | 36 | 8 days 2 sprays 1X day | 4/25/2010 | 3 | seasonal allergies | I have been experiencing lightheadedness, trouble focusing, fatigue, slowness in reacting to situations while driving, gardening or any other activity requiring careful attention | It has helped the allergic symptoms and I can sleep at night without sneezing and coughing. I reduced the dosage to one spray per nostril but that has not helped the attention problems very much. | F | 63 | 50 days 1X day | 4/23/2010 | 4 | Cronic Sinus Infection | I thought people were being over reactive - but you DO lose your sense of smell (just tonight I put my nose in a batch of freshly ground coffee and didn't smell a thing) - and taste to some extent. My sinuses were awful. Pretty much a chronic sinus infection - so a loss of smell is bad, but on the flip side, I can breathe through my nose. I hear the sense of smell comes back after stopping the medication, so I am not worried. | Yes there are side effects, and I'm not sure I want to stay on this drug too long, but its nice to be able to breathe through my nose. | M | 35 | 3 weeks 3X day | 4/22/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Shortness of breath, tight throat, tight chest, tiredness, diziness | Within 2 days I could finally breathe again like a normal person. Also no sneezing at all, no nothing. But also felt very tired and izzy after starting taking it and one week before finishing the treatment I was really having shortness of breath and chest tightness. I thought my allergy turned into asthma or that I'm having panic attacks. I was really scared until I read this. It's been a week after I finished the treatment and still have shortness of breath and tight throat and chest. I really hope it will go away soon. I wish I knew about these side effects earlier. Two years ago I took Flixonase and it was very good and didn't have any side effects. | F | 33 | 30 days 2X day | 4/22/2010 | 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 |
