| 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 | 2 | Allergies | Aggressive and violent behavior, not listening, anxious, not sleeping well. | My son started Nasonex for seasonal allergies and the medicine did relieve these symptoms. Unfortunately, his overall mood has changed dramatically since starting this medicine. Thanks to this posting, I am going to stop giving it to him to see if things go back to normal for him. | M | 4 | 35 days | 5/12/2009 | 1 | Allergies | My 7 year old son was prescribed nosonex for allergies. Took it for about a week. Started to complain of back pain, shoulder pain, body aches, head ache, stomach aches. The next day he is vomitting, didn't eat all day(That's rare for him, even when he is sick). Extrememly weak that day and pale(probably from vomitting for half the day). Stopped the nasonex when he was vomitting and when he felt yucky just because his nose was the least of his problems. I thought he was experiencing flu symptoms. Two days later I start the nasonex back up, on the first night he woke up in the middle of the night straight up talking for a while in a panicked daze(unusual for my son he is a heavy sleeper). In the morning he has a minor nose bleed. The next day I give it to him, a little while later he starts complaining of back & neck pain. I thought he was getting over it so I started worrying about menengitis or infection. Then it crossed my mind that he just started this med. So I looked up t | Reading all the side effects it shouldn't be for sale. I can't believe it got through the FDA! My kids don't get a lot of side effects from any med. and they have been on a lot of meds. I would have never thought that a nasal spray could have made my son so sick. I will now always check the side effects on this web site before I give anything to my family. It's nice to see somebody who cares about humanity and not about the all mighty dollar. To bad it couldn't have been the Nasonex company. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 5/12/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Dry cough, trouble swallowing, headache, terrible taste in mouth, light headed | I was prescribed Nasonex about a week ago and took my last dose this morning. The relief of stuffiness in my nose is not worth these side effects. I have had a headache for the past three days, my chest feels heavy, I have a dry cought and the worst side effect is this terrible taste in my mouth all the time. | M | 49 | 7 days | 5/7/2009 | 1 | Dr. presribed for allergies | Terrible headaches and intense/stressful dreams. A headache at the back of my head that aspirin nor tylenol could help. I constantly would wake-up from re-occuring dreams and nightmares. The Dr. prescribed this to me for allegery-swolleness. | I never had side-effects from other medications. I thought i was going crazy. | M | 42 | 2 months | 5/4/2009 | 5 | allergy, sinusitis | I have been taking this for years. Have never had a side effect. Sinus problems are gone. | M | 68 | 5 years | 4/29/2009 | 1 | Allergy | Racing heart, trouble sleeping (I would have difficulty falling asleep or would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, disorientated and with racing heart), anxiety attacks - end up going to cardiologist who found nothing wrong. I felt like I was going crazy, went to see the doctor who told me it could not be from Nasonex. I then found this website and stopped taking it - all side effects have since disappeared. Nasonex worked wonders in clearing my allergy but it made my life hell. Think I would rather have a runny nose than what I went through with the drug's side effects. Dangeorus stuff. | F | 6 months | 4/28/2009 | 1 | Obstructive sleep apnea | I usually sleep well with my CPAP, but the last few nights, I have been waking up several times during the night. I started having nightmares, in one I was going to jump off a bridge! I am irritable, and feel like I want to punch someone. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 4/23/2009 | 1 | Sinus Pressure & Allergies | Intense sinus pressure, cloudy head feeling, headaches, inability to focus at work or pay attention, sensitivity to light, and mood swings/irritability. Every morning when I wake up, I feel like I am hungover when I haven't had a drop of alcohol the night before. This is similar to what others have also written so I think it is safe to attribute this to the Nasonex. Will report back after a while to report if symptoms have improved | this product works like a charm for allergies, but has TERRIBLE side effects for almost everything else. | M | 26 | 3 months | 4/22/2009 | 1 | Sinusitus | Loss of sleep, anxiety, profusly running nose, tiredness, headache, sinus pressure and heat flashes. | This stuff irritated my sinuses and made me feel like I had the worse sinus infection that I had ever experienced. My nose starting flowing like a fire hose. Did anybody else experience that? I don't see anyone else who listed it. I stopped and started 3 times thinking that I must have caught a cold each time. I finally concluded that the symptoms were too closely correlated with the Nasonex use to be a coincidence. | M | 51 | 3 weeks | 4/20/2009 | 1 | for ear congestion | high fever, vomiting, low appetite probably due to stomach pain, pounding heart, sensitivity and fear. | My son was perscribed this medication over a year ago now. When we first tried it he got sick. We thought it was just a bug so we waited for him to be better. We tried it again and he got sick again. I still thought it was a bug from daycare. after a few weeks I thought we better get using it again. My son was sick again. we kept giving it to him and he just got sicker. He already has autism and other issues so we did not relate his accelerated behavior to this drug until it became pretty obvious. Later we found out he also has a heart defect. I am thankful we stopped using Nasonex before he had heart failure. We have never seen him as sick as when he was on Nasonex. It was very scary. Our ENT said he had never heard of such a reaction, which made me feel a bit crazy. After reading this site, how could he not know?? Please use caution with our children Doctors!! | M | 3 | | 4/15/2009 | 5 | sinusitus | mood swings but my sinusitus has completly dissapeared | by the way for all those who say this medication does not list all the side effects you guys are talking about it actually does read the article that comes with the bottle it clearly states that hypercorticism may occur | M | 19 | 6 months | 4/14/2009 | 1 | I was using nasonex this winter and started feeling very itchy eyes and even painful, also fatigue. I spend $150 with an ophthalmologist and I found out last night that it was nasonex because I was ok and one hour after I use it my eyes felt really bad, after reading here I will put iT in the garbage. The doctors kill you this days if you are not aware. | F | 53 | 2 months | 4/13/2009 | 5 | horrible Oak Tree pollen allergies | NONE except feel 100% better! A true life saver.... | F | 75 | 7 days | 4/12/2009 | 1 | Eustacion tube clogged | It is by far the worst medication I have ever had prescribed! It totally destroyed my smell and taste, which have not recovered after two months of misery. | I think it is a dangerous medication and should be taken off of the market. Steroids are too powerful to be used in this manner. I think this medication is too dangerous to be prescribed for any patient. I would not recommend this medication for any reason as there must be better treatments for nasal allergies that aren't this dangerous. | M | 81 | 3 days | 4/11/2009 | 2 | nasal congestion, common cold stuff | loss of sleep, headaches, sore throat | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 4/10/2009 |
