| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Sinus problems | Nausea, tightness in chest, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety | I switched from Flonase to Nasonex after a doctor recommended it. I never had any trouble with Flonase, but I noticed some rather startling symptoms after using Nasonex for only a few weeks. I've been off it for a couple of days, and the side effects seem to be diminishing a little. | M | 35 | | 6/16/2009 | 2 | Allergy | Anxiety, heart pulpitation, chest tightness | I'm off Nasonex for 4 weeks but still have chest tightness. I wonder how long does it take to get rid of the simptoms? | M | 49 | 60 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | migraine prevention/rhinitis | Sore throat, headache, tiredness, general ick feeling | I'm sure this works great for allergies, but it didn't help my condition. It did break up my stuffy nose, but at the cost of feeling like I threw up pool water out of my nose even 20 hours later. It also caused a severe headache. I think I'd take this only if I had a severely clogged nose. It is worth a try, though, especially if you have nasal issues. | F | 20 | 3 days | 6/12/2009 | 2 | Pre-Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment | My son was recommended to take Nasonex for a week prior to him receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. I gave it to him for 5 days and it completely changed his personality. He was irritable, angry, exhausted, CONSTIPATED!, cried for no apparent reason, and had nightmares that distressed him so much that he didn't want to go to sleep at night. | We stopped the Nasonex this morning. We will just hope that he does not have ear problems during the HBOT. I never imagined that Nasonex would cause those kind of issues for him because I didn't see any warnings about this kind of reaction in the package insert! | M | 9 | 5 days | 6/11/2009 | 5 | General Pollen Allergies | Barely any if at all. | Personally i'm pretty sensitive to allergy medication. I've gotten depressed off of both zyrtec and claritin so i'm pretty weary about new stuff. I take nasonex on a must-need basis and have had about a 95% success rating with it helping my allergies for at least 2 hours. Afterwards I still feel better as long as I don't mess with my face too much and wash my hands regularly. Usually It works for 4-8 hours per single squirt (each nostril) under decent conditions. The only time it is less effective is when i'm surrounded by pollen (like my sister's porch....) I can't say anything about effects of prolonged usage simply because this stuff aint cheap when you don't have insurance and I'm also paranoid now since i've had so many issues. | M | 23 | 2 years | 6/10/2009 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My doctor prescribed Nasonex for me after Flonase kept me very awake. For me the most noticable effect at first was the difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep. I had to sleep with the TV on to have something to focus my wandering thoughts on. Then I would doze and wake about every 15-20 minutes all night long. Other effects which I finally attributed to the Nasonex were, dry sore throat; anxiety; depression; shaking & tremors; loss of appetite & nausea; shallow, tight breathing; increased heart rate; dizziness; loud ringing & pain in ears; hot then cold flashes; feeling feverish all the time; somewhat irritable; blood pressure up slightly. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me and started to examine all different aspects of my life to see what might be making me feel so bad. On the fourth morning (today), just as I was reaching for the bottle of Nasonex, it dawned on me that that was the source of my trouble. I hope the shakes will stop soo | Even though Nasonex cleared my breathing (for part of the day), the side-effects are not worth it. I have gone back to using Vapo-Rub and irrigating my sinuses. Simplest is best. If I could rate this stuff a "zero", I would. THIS CHEMICAL IS POISON -- DON'T USE IT!!! | F | 53 | 4 days | 6/8/2009 | 2 | Sinus congestion | No significant side effects, except maybe a slightly dry throat. | I didn't experience any significant difference in my congestion while taking Nasonex. Note: I was taking Nasonex when I tried an Allegra-D 12-hour pill which spiked my blood pressure, caused high anxiety, and sleeplessness for 30 hours plus. Taking Nasoenx by itself, didn't seem to bother me. I don't know if Nasonex increased my bad reaction to the Allegra-D or not. | M | 63 | 14 days | 6/1/2009 | 1 | Allergies, runny nose | Tremors,high blood pressure, knife like chest pains, stomach pain, anxiety, headaches that lasted hours. | After 10 days and two trips to the cardiologist's office, I threw this medicine in the trash. The side effects started within 2 minutes of taking this lethal drug. I usually have low BP (108/70) but it climbed to 160/90 in one week! The chest pains were freaky. Now I have to have several cardiology tests to make sure I'm ok. | F | 65 | 10 days | 6/1/2009 | 1 | Acute sinusitis | Severe nausea ,chronic belching and vomiting within a few hours of taking the first dose. It lasted for twelve hours. | I am on drugs for lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure. I took the first dose of Nasonex mixed with Otrivin (pediatric dose) perscribed by the doctor at about noon. Within a few hours I became very nauseated and then started deep belching and vomiting. This lasted throughout the night and finally stopped at around 2am. I will NEVER take this medicine again. I had no idea what was going on. I thought I needed to go to the emergency room. I then realizd that the only thing that was different was the Nasonex I had taken. My sinuses did feel better in the morning but NOTHING is worth how awful I felt. I finally was able to eat again in the morning. I've since asked friends and found similar stories. They need to let you know about this potential horrible side effect. | M | 67 | 1 days | 5/30/2009 | 3 | orbital celulitis & blocked sinuses | none | My 4 yr. old child hasn't had any of the side effects/symptoms described. Reason for taking: She had a hospital stay due to orbital cellulitis (infection of tissues around eye). Six weeks later a CAT scan revealed there was still sinus blockage. The ENT prescribed this (to be taken for 3 months) to relieve the blockage. After reading the posts I will talk with my doctor again, and am glad we will only be taking for 3 months. Can't say I am satisfied or not because we probably won't do another CAT scan to see if the sinus is cleared. Personally I would recommend NASAL IRRIGATION to anyone who has sinus problems. It is natural and it works!! It can be done with children and I will probably consider trying this with my child if she is willing. | F | 4 | 1 months | 5/29/2009 | 5 | Allergies | None | My son took this medication for a while and had no side effects whatsoever. Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it. | F | 33 | 1 years | 5/27/2009 | 1 | allergies | terrible congestion. especially in one nostril. i have been having anxiety attacks that are scary. terrible headaches. fatigue and depression. lose of appetite. high blood pressure. and now i have a upper respiratory infection and i just got over one a few weeks ago. | I just threw away my prescription of nasonex and have no intention of ever taking it again. Anyone listening! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. There is a natural remedy for allergies and it works much better than any pharmacitical garbage. Its called CAYENNE. Drink a warm cup of Cayenne (tsp) with lemon water every morning and you'd be surprised how better you feel. It clears up congestion immediately and you have an overall sense of well being. Best of all it is NATURAL. God Bless you all. | F | 8 days | 5/26/2009 | 4 | Seasonal sinusitis | Slight bloody taste in back of throat right after spraying it. | Has really helped both me and my 7 year old daughter with no noticeable side effects. For a while, my daughter had a decreased appetite, but it eventually rebounded and may have been coincidental to the use of Nasonex. | M | 41 | 1 months | 5/25/2009 | 5 | Rhinitis | Occassional bloody nose, some increase in frequency of sinus infections | Worked great. I had a perpetual stuffed nose and sinus headaches, Nasonex cleared these problems right up. The CNS comments here surpise me, I am pretty sensitive to many medicines and experienced no such issues whatsoever. I am only discontinuing it because our medical insurance wants us to switch to a cheaper medicine (generic Flonase). I hope the generic works as well as Nasonex did for me. | F | 51 | 3 years | 5/24/2009 | 5 | allergies | no side effects (other than a brief sore throat-like effect right after the spray that lasts only a few minutes) | It really helps with my allergies, and the best benefit: no sleepiness like with most antihistamines (yes, even "non-drowsy" antihistamines make me sleepy). | F | 43 | 1 years | 5/23/2009 | 1 | Sinus/nasal | Shortness of breath, chest tightness, anxiety, weak voice. | I took Nasonex for 1 month and I was pleased. Then it just seemed to stop working for me. I felt like my vocal cords were getting very weak and my chest felt tight. One night at work I had to have a co-worker take me to the ER because I felt like I was having a heart attack. Spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital having a bunch of tests done on my heart. All of them came back ok. My Doctors ignored me when I tried to talk about my sinus and Nasonex theory. Stopped taking it and don't plan to use it again. | M | 42 | 35 days | 5/22/2009 | 1 | Blocked sinus, post nasal drip | Anxiety, palpitations, raised blood pressure, tight chest, pain/numbness in left arm. Same as others, I thought I was about to have a heart attack | Shortly after taking Nasonex I started feeling anxious and very tired, then 2 to 3 weeks after starting Nasonex I experienced dizzy spells. I stopped taking Nasonex just in case it was responsible and visited the doctor. Doctor said my blood pressure was high (174/90) but said Nasonex wouldn't have caused it. Visited doctor a week later and blood pressure was normal. Doctor suggested I start taking Nasonex again, which I did, and two weeks later my blood pressure is back up - 172/95 this morning. So I'm doing the same as other people and 'chucking Nasonex in the bin'. It did clear my nose though! | F | 52 | 30 days | 5/21/2009 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | Dry throat now and then. | Nasonex has allowed me to breath normally for two years straight with no serious side effects. Taking this drug is not ideal but I can't imagine how I used to manage without it. I have since dropped my box of kleenex per day habit and love the fact that I am no longer dealing with a stuffed up nose every single day. | M | 2 years | 5/19/2009 | 2 | Sinusitis, recurring URTIs | Depression, irritability, anger, mood swings. | Nasonex is a love hate relationship. I have been on it before each time for a couple of months. When I am on it I no longer get chest infections or sinus problems and my allergic rhinitis goes away. However, the other side of the coin is that I get moody, irritable, depressed and angry on and off. Withdrawal is especially bad. When I come off Nasonex I get really angry and moody. What does one do???? | M | 40 | 2 months | 5/19/2009 | 1 | allergies/sinus | An un-balanced vertigo/dizziness sensation was most disturbing. Severe headaches...thought to be TMJ. Burning-throbbing pain in the sinus area, pressure behind eyes, pain behind left eye, left shoulder pain, neck/back pain, ear pain, bloody nose, eye pain that prevented me from wearing contact lens, racing heart, insomnia, nervousness, annxiety, memory/focus issues and overwhelming sense of illness looming. | Saw my internist 3x's in the 2 months of starting this drug, A TMJ Specialist, CT Scan, Ophthamologist and next was an ENT. I am so GLAD that I stumbled on to this website! I am over all in great health, eat's well...runs 5 miles per day 5 days a week plus regular exercise. No heart history or any of the other symtoms that seem to be common. In just the approximate 2 months of using this drug. Thought for sure I had some dreaded disease. Stopping the use of Nasonex today!! I'll deal with the allergies/sinus. Not worth it!!! | F | 43 | 2 months | 5/13/2009 |
