| 5 | Severe allergies | None | For most of my life I've had terrible allergies at all times of the year, so bad I couldn't breathe. The symptoms would last for weeks and sometimes months and then turn into bronchitis. I've even been hospitalized for it. Since I've taken nasonex for several years now, I have had no (zero) such occurances. It's the best thing that ever happened to me--completely changed my life. I feel healthy. I'm not sure why it would cause all these bad side effects others describe. | F | 60 | 3 years | 7/23/2009 | 1 | allergies, inflamed nasal pasage | fatigue, headaches, some blurry vision, anxiety, heart palpitations | Seeing doctor tomorrow to get off of it. Skipped one dose and had blurry vision/migraine, and I NEVER have had one before! Very depressed, and tired all the time for no reason. | F | 24 | 4 weeks | 7/23/2009 | 2 | Hay Fever | Trouble sleeping, extreme tiredness, racing mind, forgetfulness, constipation and severly bloated stomach, itching, swolen ankles, shortness of breath. Although I can't say for sure that these 'side effects' are caused by the Nasonex until I stop taking the drug and monitor over a period of time but it seems that it is a possiblity and I can find no other reason. | Unfortunately Nasonex has cured most of my allergy symptoms which is a dilemma, the alleged side effects are mostly in line with others apart from the swolen ankles and the constipation. I have been taking this for two months now and all the side effects have built up over this time, before hand I was healthy but with Hayfever! I will discontinue use of Nasonex as from today and see if the problems persist or desist and post again in say 4 weeks time. | F | 2 months | 7/22/2009 | 2 | allergies. could not breathe well at night. | Loss of smell, haven't been able to sleep more than 4 ro 5 hours per night, blood pressure has risen | F | 62 | 30 days | 7/22/2009 | 5 | allergies | none.. just bad taste? | is the best. MUCH BETTER than antihistamines. works amazing. | F | 29 | 3 years | 7/20/2009 | 1 | chronic sinusitus | Loss of sense of smell and taste, canker sores in mouth, heart palpitations, hard time sleeping (waking up a lot) | I can't smell much any more, and what I can smell and taste is overridden by this smell I can't really describe... kind of like a fishiness or some other not so good smell. I have stopped taking the drug for 3 days and I am sleeping well and don't have palpitations anymore. No change yet in smell/taste. | F | 41 | 2 months | 7/20/2009 | 2 | congestion, allergies | waking at night, coughing, still some congestion | Our allergist perscribed Nasonex for our 2 yr old son. We are almost to two weeks on it. His mood has been much improved with the alleviation of some of his allergic symptoms (poor guy), but he has slept horribly, waking 2-4 times/night crying, sometimes wet from sweat (the room is kept quite cool, so I am assuming this is from anxiety/dreams- unusual for him). The insert doesn't say anything about insomina, so I was reassured to read that so many others report the same. | F | 39 | 13 days | 7/19/2009 | 2 | chronic rhino-sinusitis | I'm getting really bad oral thrush. | I just find that I'm paying money for a product which does absolutely nothing. | F | 36 | 4 weeks | 7/17/2009 | 1 | Blocked nose | Pains in my ears, blocked feeling in my chest and pressure on it, feeling as if I'm waking up with a very bad hangover (and I don't drink any more), frequent headaches and feeling extremely down for no particular reason. | Doctor prescribed it for a blocked nose. Did nothing for the nose but definitely seemed to get the side effects. Stopped taking it for a couple of days and generally felt better. However doctor recommended I keep using it and symptoms returned almost immediately when I started taking it again. Have stopped now. Great to see so many people on this site describing similar side effects, particularly when none of these are mentioned in the literature on Nasonex. Surely some cause for concern? | M | 45 | 2 months | 7/16/2009 | 4 | Alergies | Occasional bleeding nose. | I haven't had a problem with Nasonex but might have a solution for those who have had some minor side effects or are thinking of using it. My doctor was VERY emphatic about not "snorting" Nasonex into my lungs. Some people have said that they had tight chests and sore throats. This might be a very real side effect for some but for others, the medicine should never get that far. Lightly breathing in through your nose while spraying is enough. DON'T spray and snort the stuff into your lungs like asthma medicine. Also, I found that after one bottle, I switched to one spray per nostril--works fine for me and I can finally breath through my nose after years of nasal blockage. | M | 2 years | 7/15/2009 | 1 | Post-Nasal Drip | Awaking in the night feeling as though I couldnt breathe,chest felt really tight.Totally panicked and thought I would have to go to A&E. Has happened several nights previously but not so severe.Anxiety all the time. | Been taking Nasonex for 3weks,it has made no difference to my symptoms and I will never use it again,the side-effects are horrendous,glad of this site as I thought I was going mad!Still feeling as though my lungs are not getting enough oxygen!only 18hours since my final spray,so hopefully it will quickly improve. | F | 61 | 21 days | 7/11/2009 | 2 | congested nose | Spots/acne, tickly cough and dry throat | Was taking Loratadine 10mg along with nasonex to help my hayfever and keep my nose clear, but my throat was really dry while taking the nasonex and my spots on my face got worse. I have stopped the nasonex 3 days ago after 2 weeks use, my spots insteantly began clearing up and I have stopped coughing so much. I am still taking the loratadine atm, and my nose hasnt been congested yet. I am sure the nasonex was causing these problems. | M | 23 | 2 weeks | 7/6/2009 | 1 | nasal polyps | Tremors, feeling very shaky, tired due to lack of sleep, biggest problem is depression , no energy, feeling of being frightened. | I have been taking it for about 6 weeks now and it does help the problem, but due to side effects I will never take it again. They build up gradually on you. | M | 61 | 6 weeks | 7/3/2009 | 4 | sinus and allergy | sore throat, tightness in the throat when swallowing, dryness in the throat | i only take nasonex when there is need, not on a daily basis | F | 50 | 12 months | 7/2/2009 | 5 | sinus congestion headaches | I have had low blood pressure all of my life; until I have been on nasonex. Now my blood pressure is in the danger zone! 154/104. A nurse friend of mine realized the connection to nasonex for me. I am stopping it immediately and calling the doctors in the morning. | F | 46 | 8 months | 7/1/2009 | 1 | usual hayfever symptoms | havent had any of yet due to using first spray today | i never read info on medicine but i did with nasonex, was bit curious to find out more after reading leaflet. then stumbled upon this site and i think it is safe to say i wont be using nasonex again after these comments thanks everyone | M | 26 | 1 days | 6/30/2009 | 1 | seasonal allergies | nervousness, irritability, joint and muscle pain, anxiety | I went into using nasonex perfectly happy and healthy - thinking I was using this preventatively for seasonal allergies. Aside from the terrible symptoms I already listed a dr. diagnosed me 2 weeks later with 'steroid psychosis' after having a weekend-long panic attack that culminated in me almost going to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was fine for a while but I still am dealing with anxiety - something I never had in my life until after using this drug (3 dr. visits in 2 months since using nasonex). Threw this away and will never EVER use it or allow my kids to use it. This is scary medicine. | F | 38 | 5 days | 6/26/2009 | 2 | mal de debarquement & sinus trouble | OMG i feel so much better reading this website - i thought i was going nuts - i have anxiety, palpitations, chest 'heaviness' feeling like my heart is too large, feeling like i cant get breath, bloating and sore tummy (but i do have IBS anyway!), heaviness and tingling in my arms, feeling like im vibrating, feeling of bubling under my skin, nausea, feeling 'hungover', ear pain, headache. i have been convinced that i am REALLY ill, to the point that i have bought a blood sugar monitor and have been monitoring my blood sugar - i am also taking propanalol to manage my anxiety - i am so printing out this site and telling my doctor | F | 34 | 4 months | 6/24/2009 | 1 | Sinus Poylups | Immune system shut down, Blood glucose levels off the chart, loss of adrenal function, pituitary malfuncttion,low testosteron,headachs, vertigo,and all the symtomes related to above said conditions. I could list more | Doctors must get some form of Kick-Back because I cant believe that 10 plus Doctors could be that stupid,and not put any of the blood tests,symptoms,conditions,to the listed side effects.I am hoping to start a Class Action Lawsuit against the Company. | M | 45 | 900 days | 6/22/2009 | 2 | Allergy relief | I have been on Nasonex for quite awhile and the biggest side affect that I had was the loss of smell. I haven't been able to smell for five months. When I stopped using Nasonex and whiched to a different nose spray my since of smell is slowing coming back. | I would not recommend using this for a very long time. | F | 33 | 5 years | 6/16/2009 |
