| 3 | Acute sinus problems | Most all the symptoms described on the previous pages. I have been feeling unwell off and on for the last two years. | I had not considered that the spray was the cause of my problems as I take other medication and put it down to a combination of these. However the last three months have been hell and I have visited the Dr on three occasion giving a large number of the symptoms already mentioned. I thought the depression and suicidal thoughts would have made them jump to action but they just gave me a course of anti histamine, then more and very strong Steroid drops and anti biotics then another ultra strong steroid spray. All made me feel even more ill. Thankfully I found this site yesterday and am now trying to get through the cold turkey effect of coming off this drug from hell. I have been a long term user around 7 years I reckon. Still having some problems but it is only day two off the spray. Feeling more human already. Don't take it, I have been through hell in the last two years and I was convinced at times I was going insane. | M | 64 | 7 years | 1/14/2010 | 1 | allergy | HIVES!! | Felt worse after 1st dose. | M | 16 | 1 days | 1/14/2010 | 2 | vertigo symptoms/allergies | I think I'm just allergic to steroids in general. Took an oral steroid a month ago (with antibiotics to try and treat my vertigo...didn't work), and had strange head sensations/pain all over. I've been on Nasonex for a week, and yes, I am breathing much better, but those darn sensations are back - and stronger than ever. I also feel "timid" and anxious. I'm also losing sensation in my left hand...but that could just be carpal tunnel. I didn't think turning 40 would suck so much. | I'm stopping this, especially reading about all the side effects on here. I would highly recommend a Neti pot for saline sinus irrigation instead of medical treatments for allergies. I've been leaning towards organic-based healing options since I am discovering that doctors are "trigger-happy" in prescribing drugs before really learning about you. Educate yourself, and visit healing/wellness based sites like mercola.com and others. Prevention IS the best medicine :) | M | 41 | 7 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | Rhinitis/Sinusitis | Extreme anxiety and insomnia. Trouble swallowing. Blurred vision. I would only get 2-4 hours of sleep a night. Blood in mucus from nose and cough. A couple minor nosebleeds. My taste and smell are probably effected too, but the anxiety is what is killing me. I also feel palpitations and am having some sort of breathing issue while trying to fall asleep. | I googled "allergies and anxiety" the night before last while I couldn't sleep yet again and low and behold this website showed up. I am so thankful to have found it because I have been using Nasonex on and off for 3 years and am going through my second round of anxiety since then. I am just putting all this info together and stopped using the spray immediately. Last night was my first night not using the spray after using everyday for 10 days. I still had alot of trouble sleeping last night but managed to get 4 hours. I am still feeling anxious but maybe a little bit better. I am praying my symptoms go away. Like everybody else said- I will deal with my stupid stuffy nose in another way! Natural ways! Sinus irrigation and oil of oregano. | F | 30 | 10 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | chronic sinusitis | heart palpitations, pounding heart, uncomfortable feeling in my chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, hangover effect every morning, thicker sinus drainage with blood, no energy. Even slight exersion leaves me breatless. | Thought I was having heart trouble or perhaps anemic and was going to schedule an appt. with the Dr. Thank goodness I found this sight first. I quit as of yesterday. I'm sure it will be awhile before it is out of my body completely though. | F | 51 | 4 weeks | 1/13/2010 | 2 | rhinitis | I DON'T NEED TO DESCRIBE THE SIDE EFFECTS.5 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE SO! | Call it my cynical English mind,but you visit your doctor for a really annoying,but relatively minor nasal condition,he prescribes for you,and the result is palpitations,paranoia,bleeding nose,depression,insomnia,numbness etc,and for Americans presumably,a nice fat bill.You couldn't make it up,could you? | M | 60 | | 1/11/2010 | 3 | alergic rhinitis | sinus pressure in the face but please nte that chest tightness , dizziness , and muscle spasms and are due to sinussits and my nt be nasonex fault | I been having tight throat and diziness and muscle spasms alot longer than i been on nasonex due to sinus pressure. alot of what you guys are saying probably was there before the nasonex as well and this is just the sinus nightmare we are in | M | 30 | 2 days | 1/8/2010 | 2 | sinusitis | Extreme icheness in my nose after inhaling it. A panic attack that was so severe that I almost called 911. Emotional, angry, crying, extreme fatigue. | I am willing to try anything once yet this medication sent me to the internet to look up side efects and this is what I found. I am gong to stop taking it as of now and see how I feel in a few days. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | vasomotor rhinitis | Nasonex, one squirt per nostril, pm: woke up with viscious headache and exhausted/tired/sleepy all day. This continued for three days straight before I figured out that it was the Nasonex. I figured out it might be the Nasonex. | Most people seem to complain about insomnia but it was the sudden, extreme headaches that clued me in. I did have some pretty vivid dreams so maybe Nasonex disrupts the sleep cycle in more ways than the ability to fall asleep/stay asleep. | F | 46 | 3 days | 1/1/2010 | 1 | chronic rhinitis | Nasonex worked within two days. I was no longer sneeszing and coughing all morning and full of mucus. BUT after only 5 days (one puff a day), I had nosebleeds. My right nostril is now badly infected with possible ulcers and crusting, with pain. It is blocked with what looks like a red lump at the back. I'm now waiting to go back to the doctor to see what is happening. | F | 53 | 5 days | 12/27/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure | I only took Nasonex once and took the children's dose with Benedryl Thank God! I felt a tingeling in the back of my throat then could taste it after that I felt a strange sensation under my tongue. I went to bed and slept normally. The next morning I had a slight headache but as the day went on I developed a numbness in my face on the left side (the same side I had had the sinus pressure)! It felt like I had novacaine injection at the dentist! This numbness continued for most of the day. Now I have the pressure back on my face but after reading some of these comments, I am not taking any more and will call my doctor in the morning. | Thank you for this website!!!! | F | 57 | 1 days | 12/22/2009 | 1 | sinus infections | complete change in personality, being "spaced out", very tired but does not sleep, does not want to eat, crying all the time | my daughters dr. gave her the rx because she has been having non stop ear infections, she suggested this to help her sinus to possibly help her ears. she has only been taking it since monday, it is now saturday, and i actually forgot to give it to her two days. But ever since the first time I gave it to her she has changed her personality completly. she is just starring into space and acting like a zombie. She has woken up for the past 3 nights in a row and has been up for 3-4 hours. I can tell she is exhausted but she can't fall back asleep. I NEVER have problems getting her to sleep. she had a slight fever today. I became really worried especially because of the way she has been "spaced out", I decided to look some info up on the internet and have found others had the same thing. i feel aweful for giving this to her. i am stopping and calling my doctor first thing monday | F | 1 | 4 days | 12/20/2009 | 3 | STUFFY NOSE | sense of dread | M | 52 | 5 years | 12/19/2009 | 1 | nasal polyp and associated snoring | Wish I'd read this site sooner. Soon after taking Nasonex I developed anxiety and an inability to sleep through the night. Also had the more common nosebleeds. | Cured the snoring after 3 months, but at much greater expense. Can't believe that such common and dangerous side effects aren't listed on the product or recognised - disgraceful. | M | 32 | 90 days | 12/19/2009 | 1 | sinuses | OMG! Another one! Thank you guys!!! Thought I would lose my mind~!!! I just posted on Bactrim because I went to the walk in clinic having this crazy pressure on my forehead, and he diagnosed a sinus infection, ironically, I had been using Nasonex for the previous week, and had these crazy headaches...and feeling "hungover", out of it...and didn't feel safe driving anywhere, so cancelled plans and stayed in bed all week-end. Mon. went to walk in...he started Bactrim, along with continuing Nasonex...you guys can imagine...it just added to the bad that was already happening! Finally, yesterday, had friends drive me to the ER, because I almost blacked out while in line at the bank...they did cat scan of my head, and EKG, everything was normal...there was no sinus infection...This doc was awesome!, totally against prescribing stuff! Said to stop taking both drugs, go home, eat and have two glasses of wine! I feel much, much better this morning...!!! Even after only skipp | Will never use again! Dangerous! | F | 48 | 1 weeks | 12/19/2009 | 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 noticed side effects straight away. First was the slight burning sensation when you inhale it. You feel 'spaced out' for about 2 hours after taking it. Then for about 12 hours afterwards, a dull headache. For 3 hours, I'd be headache free. Then I'd get headaches again, like almost a withdrawal symptom. This stems into the night, causing insomnia. This has a nock-on effect of feeling misserable, cranky and depressed. Whilst exersizing, it took me ages to regain my breath. As I inhaled, it felt like the walls of my trachea were touching each other, causing me to gasp. Not being able to breathe lead me to having panic attacks. ------------------------------------------------- About me: After fracturing my nose, the doctor prescribed me Nasonex to reduce the swelling of the tissue, allowing me to breathe. This spray hasn't worked, and has messed around with my body. The panic attacks have happened twice during a work out, because I couldn't get enough air into my lungs as it felt my throat's walls were touching each other. I've been on Nasonex for 5 weeks, and nothing has improved. I find it more than a coinsedence that hundreds of people have had similar side effects, which the manufacturers haven't told us. Nasonex is a waste of money (£7.50 UK), damages your body, your life, and DOESN'T work. Look at the overall rating people. | F | 20 | 5 weeks | 12/6/2009 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | Rapid heart palpatations. Felt like horses galloping in my chest one minute and maybe flutters or "butterflies" the next. Almost a similar feeling to having a spastic twitching nerve you can't control, but only it's your heart. I have never been so aware of my heartbeat. It was scary. I was going to see my doctor in 3 days because I thought I might have a heart condition, but started researching this drug since it's the only thing that's changed in the last month. | I rated it at a 4 b/c it has REALLY helped with my sinuses and allergies. Unfortunately, it's not worth the heart palpatations. | F | 29 | 1 months | 12/5/2009 | 5 | Allergies/ Hay fever / Blocked nose | None, except for a few slight nose bleeds | I had a blocked nose for over a year and I found it difficult to smell, taste, swallow and breath properly. This was due to allergies, hay fever and asthma, my skin was constantly itchy and I was always breaking out in rashes or hives due to allegens. I am very weary of any forms of drugs and used this medication carefully. I didnt take the higher dosage my doctor advised. I started off with one spray per nostral before bed. My nose cleared up within 3 days and I could finaly use it again. I then slowed my dosage to once a night every second or third day for the next 2 months and now I only use it if I feel my nose blocking up again or if my allergies start playing up this can be weeks or even months between each dosage. It has worked very well and not only cleared my nose but dramaticly reduced my hayfever and allergies they are almost non existant which has given me back a productive life, I have so much more energy now and I dont feel run down any more. I think what may help some is to taylor the dosage to your own needs (you dont need overkill) and when you spray into your nose *dont* breath in at the same time as this will draw it into your throat and lungs. I also noticed if I aimed it wrong and sprayed the inside side of my nose I tended to increase my chances of a nose bleed now i make a conscious effort to aim it up the middle and have not had any bleeding since. Not all medications are for everyone but I hope this may help some. | F | 42 | 11 months | 12/2/2009 | 1 | synosis problems | nose bleeds 3 days in dizzyness severe headaches drowsyness but not being able to get any sleep | F | 19 | 7 days | 11/30/2009 | 1 | Allergic and vasomotorhinnitis | I was so suprised to find this web site. I too thought I was going crazy. My headaches only became worse since using Nasonex. I have cold night sweats. Crazy vivid dreams. Dry cough and dry mouth. Dizziness and palpitations. Shoulder and wrist aches. I suffered for 2 1/2wks with headaches thinking it was my vasmotor rhinitis. I statrted to cough and couldn't stop coughing when I spoke. My head would throb so much it felt like it was bobbing back and forth. I stopped taking the Nasonex a week ago when I started on Leavaquin. I am still tired and coughing. The dizziness and palpitations seemed to have subsided. I am a very healthy person. This is awful How long does it take for this drug to get out of the system? | F | 52 | 21 days | 11/25/2009 |
