| 4 | recommended by specialist | I seem to have developed a red nose - similar to being sun-burnt on the end? I stopped using spray for a week to see if the redness would go however, I developed a sinus infection! Started using the spray again and unfortunately, no amount of makeup is covering my red nose... Bit annoyed really as otherwise this product is working for me. Don't particularly like looking like Rudolph! Anyone else suffering this or is it just me? | Immediate relief insofar as I could breath through my nose every morning and didn't wake up with that horrible headache that comes with sinus problems. I was constantly taking pain killers but that has been hugely reduced. | F | 51 | 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 3 | swollen sinuses allergies snoring | My son is 8. He has been snoring for a couple of years and has obviously swollen nasal passages. (had adenoids & tonsils out 3 years ago). Dr. prescribed this spray. I gave it to him last night and today he was on top of the world today. Hugging me--constantly. Chasing his brother. Gave the dog a bath. Cleaned his room. Laughing at everything. Jumping around. Saying he woke up not feeling tired. Like he's on speed or coke. Weird. The sudden and dramatic personality change is huge. I don't understand why it is happening exactly, but nasonex is powerful stuff. I'm not sure it's a good thing. He needs to breathe at night, but he's freaking me out. He seems a little crazy and unbalanced. Thank goodness we are seeing an allergist next week. I would NEVER use this over the long term and MIGHT use it once a week. Might not, too. | Sudden and dramatic personality change in my 8 year old. Fortunately he's a good kid and turned in to turbo-charged super boy rather than Mr. Naughtypants. But it's not normal! If he were normally angsty or aggressive, he could have really gone off the deep end. User beware. | M | 8 | 2 days 1X day | 2/25/2010 | 1 | Loss of sense of smell | Lethargic, nauseous every day now, appetite supressed as a result, generally feeling awful! | I couldn't figure out why I was starting to feel so unwell, particularly as I was eating well and exercising (New Year Resolution). I can only assume it is Nasonex. It also amazes me to read that others have lost their sense of smell since taking Nasonex - I was under the impression it may have helped me recover mine! Which it hasn't! | F | 48 | 21 days 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 1 | Ear Infection | Sinuses cleared up, but at the cost of EXTREME headaches, nausea, nose bleed, inability to sleep for more than 2hrs, nightmares, and became very easily agitated | Doctor gave me a free sample of Nasonex because my ear infection was causing my sinuses to swell up. The 4 days of taking nasonex was amongst the worst 4 days of my life. | M | 30 | 4 days 2sprays 1X day | 2/23/2010 | 3 | Nasal Polyps | Bloody dry uncomfortable nose, clear the nose and within an hour or so its very dry again. | Suffered with allergies and blocked nose for as long as I can remember, Nasonex has made me be able to breathe through my nose again although my sense of smell has not yet returned but I didnt have it to start with so maybe its gone forever :-( Overall Im doing ok on it so far! I'd rather be able to breathe through a dry nose than to be totally blocked. | F | 27 | 3 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | pollen allergies | tachycardio, elevated libido, nosebleeds. | I stopped doing two shots of this stuff, that is too strong. Ever since I scaled back to one per day the side effects disappeared, except for elevated libido. | M | 33 | 4 years 1X day | 2/22/2010 | 3 | chronic nasal congestion | Infrequent double vision perhaps could be attributed to flonase. Also feel a general strain on my vision most days. I've stopped taking it for a week and my head feels less cloudy and my eyes not as strained. Eye doctor and GP have no idea why I've had double vision on and off. | It has been fantastic over the years. Been using on and off for at least five years, but finally thought maybe my infrequent eye problems are caused by flonase, so have stopped using for a while and my eye sight feels less strained. Will have to see if my double vision comes back. | F | 37 | 2 years 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 4 | Allergies | "Pimples" in my nose that makes my nose swell up a bit. | If anyone knows anything about that side effect, please email me! | F | 17 | 7 months 50 mcg 2X day | 2/14/2010 | 1 | sinus headaches | I ended up developping tons of pressure in my head, difficulty to swallow, shortness of breath, redness in neck, and fainted. It felt like I was having a heart attack and needed to be rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Felt better after 2 hours. Will go for acupuncture instead of taking meds for sinus headaches from now on. The strange thing is, I took Nasonex in Nov. 2009 without problems. | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 2/12/2010 | 3 | M | 44 | 5 years 1X day | 2/11/2010 | 1 | hay fever/allergies | extreme headaches, blurred vision, nausea | I started taking Nasonex at the recommendation of my doctor. My allergy symptoms went away immediately and I was thrilled! However, within 3 days I had what I thought was a migrain. I haven't been able to get the headache to go away but it does dim somewhat with OTC mecication. I didn't connect it to the medicine until yesterday when I started doing some research. I just found this site and I am floored at the number of people suffering from the same symptoms. As soon as I get home my Nasonex is going in the trash. I hope my headache goes away soon. | F | 39 | 2 weeks 2X day | 2/10/2010 | 1 | sinusitis | i only used once and i notice a terrible headache, ear pain and the most terrible thing is the loss of smell. i would not recomend this medicine at all. it can change your life in a very bad way. | F | 27 | 1 days 1X day | 2/9/2010 | 1 | Sinusitis/sinus infection | After 3 doses I had extreme throat pain (thought I had strep throat) and severe ear pain. Unfortunately I used one more dose after that before stopping use. I haven't used Nasonex in 3 days and the throat and ear pain has eased slightly but hasn't gone away. While using Nasonex I experienced pain in my arms and sore muscles. The arm and muscle pain has gone away but now to go along with the throat and ear pain I have viral pink eye and a nasty cough. All possible side effects I have since found out. | I would have dealt with the sinus pain and headaches had I known all the issues I would now suffer through from taking this medication. I will never use Nasonex again and am warning everyone I know. I will stick with my neti pot and saline sprays. This is the worst product out there. I have never had such a bad reaction to a product. | F | 36 | 2 days 50 MCG 2X day | 2/9/2010 | 3 | Sinus infection, post-nasal drip | disturbed sleep, waking every hour, but able to go back to sleep. Inadequate sleep makes me tired during the day. | it gave immediate relief for the symptoms of the sinus infection -- sinus headache and sore throat went away very quickly and post-nasal drip (drip is such a wrong word for this sticky mucus) went away gradually, but when I stop taking it (because of sleep problems mainly) the sore throat and post-nasal gunk start up again. For sinus infection, I think it just masks symptoms. | F | 64 | 30 days 4 x 50mcg 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 1 | Sinus congestion | I start to lose my sense of smell after about 2 month use but didn't realise that it could be related to Nasonex. Now I cannot smell anything and I cannot taste food properly. So when I decide to check for Nasonex side effects, I am surprised that so many other people have the same experience. My doctor think it is a wonder drug and doubt that I can get any side effects. | Will definitely stop taking it | F | 49 | 3 months 50 2X day | 2/6/2010 | 1 | sinus infection | SEVERE headache after one dose. | Debilatating head pain that caused nausea and vomiting. Has been three days since first and only dose, headache is getting better slowly. Can now get relief with OTC pain relievers. Standing up and sudden head movements still causing pounding head pain. Did have some anxiety and moodiness. These symptoms improved after 36 hours of stopping Nasonex. Not worth taking. | F | 34 | 1 days 1X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | Tinnitus | Bloody snot, uncomfortably dry nose, headaches, nausea and heart palpitations | I went to the doctor complaining of a "wooshing" sound in one ear, he prescribed me steroids that didn't take it away so I went to an ENT who prescribed me more of the same steroids, antibiotics and nasonex... none of which helped. I ended up with all these side effects that i didn't have with the first round of steroids and i knew how my body reacted to antibiotics. After both of those were done i was still on the nasonex and the symptoms all continued. I finally quit taking it when I couldnt stand the pain in my nose and the bleeding. In the end I found out that all my ear issues stem from me breaking my jaw when I was four. | F | 25 | 17 days 50 MG 2X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | sinus infections | anxiety | my 3 year old was taking this for a month -- never has anxiety problems before but while taking it some anxiety kicked in now being off it -- the anxiety level has shoot thru the roof. anyone else have these issues with there children | F | 3 | 30 days | 2/1/2010 | 2 | acute sinus problems | All of them | I posted back on the 14th and I went cold Turkey with this medication. Took 5 days of hell to get over all the effects. However my sinus problems became more acute and I tried several over the counter remedies. None were successful. I gave in and started back on the spray. What a stupid fool I was. Now feeling like hell again and having to return home to UK after only a week of a two month trip. I am at a loss and manic at present but will be in the Drīs on Thursday all being well. Three day drive from here home. Please dont use it but I just do not know what to do with myself, My poor wife is very supportive but I am in hell at present. I have been on this for approx 7 years. | M | 64 | | 1/31/2010 | 3 | eustacian tube closure | I suppose I can't say definitively it was Nasonex, but I've been taking it for two weeks (water behind the eardrum due to eustacian tube closure, so my dr. prescribed Nasonex and ampicillin), and I've been lethargic. At the end of the two weeks also very depressed. I really hope it wears off soon. | It cleared up my ear proble, but I really don't want to take it again if, in fact, it was the cause of my depression. It affected my job, my workout regimen, my school, sleep patterns, etc. | M | 42 | 2 weeks | 1/30/2010 |
