| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | minor sinus infection | headaches, puffy eyes, felt nautious, tired. MOST IMPORTANTLY I LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL. I TOOK NASONEX FOR TWO AND A HALF DAYS AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THESE SYMPTOMS WERE CAUSED BY THE NASONEX. I WAS RECOVERING FROM THE INFECTION AND WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE NASONEX I WOULD FEEL ALOT WORSE. STOPED TAKING NASONEX RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, STILL HAVE VERY LITTLE SENSE OF SMELL AND MY TASTE IS PARTIALLY EFFECTED. | NOT WORTH THE POSSIBLE PERMANENT LIFE ALTERING SIDE EFFECTS, THE MOST SHOCKING, ALTHOUGH NOT SURPRISING, IS THAT GOVERNMENTS ALLOW PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO MARKET CRAP LIKE THIS REGARDLESS OF SIDE EFFECTS, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR INTENTIONAL LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PRODUCT. | M | 47 | 3 days | 9/22/2009 | 2 | alergies | I began taking Nasonex and within a month I stared experiencing heart palpitations - up to 10 occurrences in one day. I also had a lot of anxiety at night and subsequently, trouble sleeping (I normally sleep very well). I went off the drug to see if that was what was causing the palpitations and sure enough, they went away. Then, to rule out any coincidences, I started using Nasonex again. The palpitations came back immediately. I went off it and will never use it again. I have not had another palpitation since. | It worked excellent in clearing up my alergies but certainly some of us have side effects which are not listed on the drug itself. Nasonex is not for me as the palpitations were really scary. | F | 35 | 3 months | 9/21/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion | Up at 1:00 a.m typing this because this stuff is keeping me awake. Also have a tingling odd feeling in my arms like they are asleep. My face aches around the jawbones. | F | 45 | 1 days | 9/21/2009 | 2 | Sinus Allergy | As others have described I noticed the Hang Over effect. Also extreme dryness. I have tried this product 5 times and each time couldnt get past a week on it. It also cause the frequency of sinus infections to go up...(read the label) | Did sure anything but make me feel like ive been partying last night | M | 36 | 4 days | 9/20/2009 | 1 | not getting enough air through nose | I can no longer smell anything!!! (Not even popcorn, or bacon frying, etc.) My ability to taste has declined too. My breathing issues have not improved so Nasonex has caused me more problems rather than help. | F | 55 | 2 months | 9/19/2009 | 1 | Sinus Issues | After being on this medicine and using it as prescribed, I developed nasal ulcerations and frequent nose bleeds. | I get coupons in the mail every quarter that would allow me to get it for free. Apparently they can't even give it away. | M | 48 | 2 years | 9/15/2009 | 1 | Runny nose and congestion | Irritable, cold and flu like symtoms, waking up through out the night, wet the bed during naps 5 days in a row even wet himself awake almost like uncontrollable blatter. | THANK YOU PARENTS FOR POSTING YOUR RATINGS!!!!! My son was prescribed Nasonex for runny nose and congestion. He first started not sleeping, then became very irritable, finally he started wetting the bed during naptime at preschool. And I thought the bed wetting was an accident but after 5 days in a row and twice the last day it seemed like it was getting worse and no longer seemed as an accident. I feel so bad that I didn't protect my child and read about it first. I have even know about the side effects from the commercials and wouldn't take it myself. I will look up any meds prescribed from any doctor from now on. They get paid extra to push meds for the pharmaceutical companies. Parents: don't trust everything they give your kids!!!! Doctors: please be more careful with our children!!! | M | 3 | 3 weeks | 9/9/2009 | 5 | Allergies | A mild but persistent dry cough. I think this is caused by inhaling the spray so I am trying to avoid that now. | Nasonex has dramatically improved the quality of my life. It has completely cured my allergies with only mild side-effects. | M | 68 | 4 months | 9/7/2009 | 2 | Nasal polyps related snoring | Total and permanent loss of smell | I was prescribed this drug to treat my snoring problem by an ENT specialist to help shrink the nasal polyps which she believed might cure the snoring. After applying about 3 cannisters of it, my snoring was cured. However, I started to lose my sense of smell gradually without even realizing it myself until my daughter asked me if I could smell something really fowl in the house then. 5 years have gone past since then and I still can't smell anything at all. I told my ENT specialist when I visited her later over the loss of smell and told her of my suspicion of this dangerous side effect but she somehow did not agree with me. For your own benefit, don't use this drug especially over prolonged period as you never know if you are going to end up like me. | M | 58 | 2 months | 9/2/2009 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis | None at all! However, after using it for several months, I've developed a tolerance to it, it's not working anymore... | This was the only allergy medication that worked for me, without making me drowsy | M | 24 | 6 months | 9/1/2009 | 2 | eustachian tube dysfunction | headaches, ear pain, feeling of pressure in ears, jaw pain, neck tightness/stiffness. i thought i was still sick for the last two weeks of taking this because the side effects can easily be misinterpreted as symptoms of ETD. finally an ENT suggested i stop taking it and some side effects cleared up right away. | it's been almost two weeks since my last spray of nasonex, and i'm still dealing with the jaw/ear discomfort. has anyone else experienced this that can tell me how long it took for this to subside? it's almost as if the muscles around my jaw area have just forgotten how to relax, making them sore. i tend to doubt nasonex gave me TMJ or something. only reason i give it a 2 is because it cleared up my ETD. | M | 29 | 5 weeks | 8/26/2009 | 1 | Perrenial Allergies | I used to use this drug without any problem. It felt like it wasn't working so I asked the doc what else could I use. At this time I had an unrelated asthma exacerbation and was put on a high dose of prednisone for 3 weeks. I have been off of the prednisone for 3 1/2 weeks now and was feeling that Nasonex wasn't working so the doc prescribed Rhinocort. It didn't work well so I went back to Nasonex. I feel this second time around Nasonex caused heart palpatations, higher blood pressure, and aniexty. I didn't have these effects the first time. I'm wondering if the effects of the prednisone coupled with Nasonex is a double wammy for me. Prednisone can cause these symptoms too. I stopped Nasonex after 3 days intersparingly which is today (been 24 hours since my last sprays) bu I still have a 93 heart rate and 122/76 blood pressure. I usually have a great heart rate and lower blood pressure. I say both Prednisone and Nasonex are EVIL!!! I want to get back to my normal self and be able to wo | Took Nasonex for several months then stopped then started again after taking prednisone | F | 43 | 3 days | 8/19/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure pain | The pain increased when taking Nasonex. I have been getting migraines since the age of 16 (I'm 59 now.) Most of my headaches are allergy induced and I wake up with headaches daily. My doctor prescribed Nasonex for the sinus pressure. The prescription stated to use it daily. My headaches become more frequent and severe. I stopped using it immediately. | F | 59 | 7 days | 8/16/2009 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Only took for 2 days and lost my sense of smell. Now my taste glands are weak and there is a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Still can't smell and I haven't used it in 21 days. Now thjey are saying something is wrong because my spleen is enlarged. Don't know if the two have anything to do with each other but it sure is a COINCIDENCE | DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!! Too many doctors pushing too many drugs. | F | 48 | 2 days | 8/8/2009 | 1 | sinus pressure and congestion | I went to two ENT's because I had ear ache, vertigo, and severe nasal congestion. One diagnosed me with TMJ (???) and prescribed Nasonex for my congestion. Another ENT said it was middle ear infection. Took the nasonex sample for 3 weeks. The dizziness didn't go away. On top of that, my vision was so blurry, squinting all day, had trouble sleeping, had swollen lymph nodes, difficulty swallowing, unable to focus or concentrate, headache, just felt like my head was in a bubble (the hangover feeling everyone is describing). I stumbled upon this website (thank goodness) and tossed the nasonex immediatley. Two days later, the blurry vision and dizziness went away. Slept like a baby. Feel so much better. However, the muscles/nerves around my face are achy, sore, and tired. No pain just extremely uncomfortable. Hot compresses and massage help. Does anyone else experience this after they stopped using it? This drug is awful and it should be banned. I wish I had known about the side effects pri | Nasonex did relieve my congestion but the side effects are too severe. It's not worth it. I wish I had know about all the side effects before using it. I am exploring other alternatives to relieve my congestion. I am trying out natural products and they seem to be helping. | F | 40 | 21 days | 8/6/2009 | 1 | sinusitus | For the first week I didn't notice any side effects but then each succeeding day I noticed that a horrible taste would linger in my throat after taking Nasonex. Each day the taste lasted longer. I stopped taking the drug after 18 days but the horrible taste and weird sensations in my mouth lingered for over six months. I no longer have the bad tastes but I have not recovered my sense of smell and taste. | I definitely would not recommend this medication to anyone. Loss of taste and smell is heartwrenching. Has anyone else had his/her sense of smell and taste restored? | F | 62 | 18 days | 8/3/2009 | 3 | To assist in breathing/allergies | It took about 3 weeks to figure out that I was now having severe headaches, nasal pain, coughing, itching, blurred vision and such that I was not having before. I only went online to to search for side effects as I suspected the headaches, and found out all the other common ones I'd have never thought related were listed as common!! And I'm not a whiner!! | If it works without side effects it seems awesome, but if you have conflicts, run away.. | M | 46 | 21 days | 7/29/2009 | 1 | Alergies | Tremmors, headaches, nausea, depression. | I wrote a while ago that I did not have any symptoms from this drug. After over two years on it, I have developed constant body tremmors and nausea. I believe the depression is from the fact that I am constantly worrying about the side effects. I am tossing out the rest of the bottle. | M | 40 | 2 years | 7/29/2009 | 1 | Blocked nose,post-nasal driip | Palpitations,chest tightness,feeling of not being able to breathe.Panicky feeling that something was going to happen and I would need to call ambulance. | Never in my life experienced feelings like these.Started about 2weeks after starting medication and rapidly got worse,took spray for a further 6 days then stopped.Took 11days for these sode-effects to wear off.It gradually got better and I returned to normal.Still got nose problems ,I will keep them! | M | 59 | 20 days | 7/27/2009 | 5 | mild allergies (esp. seasonal) | The only side effect was that I no longer had a yearly sinus infection. | After almost two years, no side effects, except that it wiped out my yearly sinus infections! Very effective, and it does not go throughout the body, such as Claritin-D does. I'm happy with Nasonex, but will keep an eye out for the many side effects others on this website have experience. | F | 58 | 2 years | 7/25/2009 |
