| 1 | allergies | heart palpitations | Why aren't heart palpitations listed as potential side effects? I thought I was loosing my mind until I read this web site. Luckily I had a feeling that morning and did not use the nasal spray. I was in the hospital emergency room the night before with many heart palpitations. The doctor and nurse (both good) didn't even give a second look at Nasonex on my medication list. | F | 46 | 11 days | 3/18/2009 | 1 | Eustachian Tube plugged with fluid | Tightness in chest, heart palpatations, anxiety, headache, sore throat, severe muscle (Back pain), trouble concentrating, dizziness. | I find it disturbing that my symptoms are typical of people on this website, yet the nasonex company does not list any of these. My symptoms were so bothersome, I almost went to emergency because I thought I was about to have a heart attack, or may have heart disease. Now, I believe its simply the adverse effects of the nasonex. My ear is starting to unplug from the drug, but I am ceasing my course of nasonex immediately due to the unwanted side effects. | F | 39 | 6 days | 3/16/2009 | 4 | Allergies - Hay Fever - Pollen | None that I know of. | I've had lifelong allergies, especially hay fever with grasses, pollen etc, several times each year. I work outdoors nearly every day and love outdoor recreation. Nasonex has been the only medication to work for me, and my allergies are mostly gone. I've been using it for three years now. I can work and play outside and breathe clearly- without sneezing, itchy eyes or sinus problems. Here's the deal: I don't use this every day- I use it when my allergies first begin in early spring, about once per day for a week or two, and then stop. My allergies are then gone for weeks or more at a time. If they return, I repeat the process. It's expensive, but one bottle will last me the entire season or even a year based on my usage. By the way- I'm somewhat of a health nut and abhor medications of all kinds. I take vitamins and eat pretty well, and don't see doctors very often at all. I wouldn't take this unless it really worked- and if I experienced any side effects I would quit immeidat | M | 48 | 3 years | 3/13/2009 | 2 | Post op Sinusitis / Allergies | Was advised by doctor to take Nasonex 2 x morning and night to assist in potential rebound effect from decongestant and by specialist to take it every night to avoid allergic reactions. It was effective in easing the symptoms however the side effects included serious left shoulder and chest aches, broken sleep and as a result anxiety. Had used it several times for less than a week with symptoms building up but five days ago after ten days use was the end of it for me. Stopped using it and as previously occurred aches are slowly decreasing but not yet completely gone. Reported to both doctor and specialist and was told there are no side effects from Nasonex. | M | 46 | 10 days | 3/12/2009 | 2 | Dull hearing, tinnitus, sinus prob | Dreadful nightmares | Don't know if I can continue trying drug as nightmares really bad. My symptoms are bad too so a bit of a catch 22! | F | 53 | 3 days | 3/12/2009 | 1 | Nasal congestion | Chest tightness, burning in ribs, bloody(ish) nose, sore throat | It took me awhile to connect the burning to the Nasonex. I had the burning, then it went away. Looking back, I realized that it got better when I stopped the Nasonex. I had more sinus problems and my doctor told me to keep taking the Nasonex. I started it again and got the burning in ribs and chest tightness. I've been off it for about two days now and I almost feel like myself again. It did help my sinus congestion, but it's not worth the side effects. | F | 39 | | 3/11/2009 | 3 | allergies | Ok for a month, after that side effects came, sleepless nights,severe palptation during night, i would just toss and turn on the bed, just about 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night . i m going to discontinue from today | It helps my brother a lot , but i think not good for me. Therefore, depends upon a person how effective nasonex is. Doctors are possibly not giving side effects so that patient are not aware of it. If aware, patient can develop the effects. I used to take singulair and NASONEX .After going through there symptoms I am discontinuing both . It is better to sleep with mouth open than not to sleep during the night. | M | 28 | 1 months | 3/10/2009 | 1 | nasal congestion | Anxiety, night terrors, headaches. Oh,and the hole the diameter of a pencil eraser in my right nasal septum. This a rare but documented side effect. | Avoid, avoid, avoid. This stuff is dangerous for a subset of the population. Withdrawal has also been a complete nightmare. | M | 39 | 3 years | 3/9/2009 | 1 | Mouth breathing | My son has experienced extreme tiredness issues for 3 years now and recently had a sleep study. All came back OK except that he breathes through his mouth whilst asleep. I have sinus issues myself and when really bad make me very tired. The sleep specialist prescribed Nasonex to help my son sleep better. From the first day he was very aggressive. In the last few days he has been off his food and seems very depressed. Also he has wet the bed twice in the last week. My son has NEVER wet the bed, even when he was first toilet trained as a two year old. I am SO angry at the doctor who prescribed this drug. It was so expensive but we are prepared to do whatever it takes to help his tiredness so we bought it. What makes it worse is that I always read the insert that comes with a drug before I use it. But of course drug companies don't tell the truth, do they! | I will NEVER use this spray again!!! | M | 6 | 13 days | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Dysfunctional Eustachian Tube | Trouble sleeping at night, tired during the day. Extremely light headed and anxious. Loss of appetite. Pulse is 100 all day when normally 70-75. I have off for 6 days now and side effects are going away but still evident. This is keeping me from daily activities. | F | 20 | 6 weeks | 3/8/2009 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Severe Headaches | I took this medicine for about 10 days, not long enough to use one spray bottle. Each time I used it I would get a headache, each time was worse and worse until the last time the headache was so bad I couldn't even open my eyes. This was about 6 months ago. I still get severe headaches, sometimes daily. | F | 44 | 10 days | 3/8/2009 | 5 | Inner ear blockage and dizziness | I did not experience any side effects aside from a little bit of coughing and sneezing. | I started taking nasonex because I was dizzy on a daily basis from inner ear blockage. No other medicine including allergy medicine and decongestant worked and both of those caused side effects. Nasonex worked great and I felt better by the second day. I would highly recommend to anyone suffering from severe allergies. | F | 18 | 5 days | 3/7/2009 | 5 | asthma and serve allergies and sinu | no side effects experienced | My son started taking this when he was 7 and he is now 11. Without this medication he gets sinus infections and has to be pput on tons of antibotics. This also interfers with his asthma. I have never experienced agression or other issues do to this medication and I do not know what we would do without. | M | 11 | 5 years | 3/3/2009 | 4 | sinus congestion | Each year, I use Nasonex in the winter for chronic sinus headaches (prob. caused by deviated septum). It works really well -- and I've tried everything -- but by March I have to stop use because of daily nosebleeds. I also seem to get minor acne with use. | F | 44 | 3 years | 3/1/2009 | 5 | Severe sinus congestion | None, so far - maybe an itch in throat/need to cough now and again? | After reading these comments, I was apprehensive and fearful about trying any type of nasal spray (complaints of anxiety?? I have anxiety disorder already!) However, I also had sinus congestion for 3 months and in between that, a sinus infection. The congestion appeared to be worsening and I was desperate to try anything. I finally went to the ENT. Within a few days of using Nasonex, I was able to feel like a normal person again! I do still have a bit of sneezing/blowing but I'm also not sure what is caused this problem in the first place. All I know is that Nasonex is really helping at the moment. Only wish I had went to get it sooner. I know the people who are satisfied with a drug often don't bother leaving a review, which is why I wanted to leave a positive review. Don't necessarily be afraid to try this spay if you need it! | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 2/27/2009 | 1 | Chronic Sinus infections and stuffy | After about 3 days, I could not sleep, I would wake up frequently and toss and turn, sometimes hot and then cold. I constantly felt hung over without the drinking. I feel the lack of sleep led to my feeling tired, and irritable. I caught myself spacing out, and forgetting things. Thank God my fiance suggested looking up side-effects. | I guess it really depends on your chemistry. I have discontinued use. | M | 33 | 5 days | 2/27/2009 | 1 | swelling and fluid in ears | developed extreme anxiety and fear of heights, totally freaked out while driving and pulled over and called two friends to rescue me. pressure in my head, dizziness, feel like i'm in a cloud, can't think clearly, tightness in my chest, feeling like it's hard to breathe. fear and anxiety while driving now is something i have never had before. i have been on the product for 6 weeks now and stopped taking it yesterday, will comment again on how long it took to recover from side effects. | i took nasonex years ago and it worked great. but, now it seems to have a very negative impact on my central nervous system. | F | 49 | 6 weeks | 2/22/2009 | 1 | Allergies | Stopped after 7 days of use, had bad shoulder pain, vision trouble, weight gain. Developed Iritis in both eyes, left eye was worse.Still seeing the Eye Dr. The shoulder pain did stop after 12 days off Nasonex. 16 days and still waiting for my eyes to get better. | I didn't know the problems I was having were related to this drug until i read other comments on this site. Nasonex did not relieve my allergies in the 7 days that I used it. | M | 65 | 7 days | 2/21/2009 | 1 | Post Septoplasty w/ chronic sinusus | Extreme anxiety, nervousness, heavy chest feeling, headaches, pain in face and behind eyes, trouble focusing, nausea, extreme tiredness | My ENT gave me this 10 days out of surgery. Never mentioned any side effects. I had some mild anxiety problems recently that I feel were sinus related, but this stuff has made it hard to even leave the house. I am going to stop taking ASAP after reading everyones reports. I thought I was just loosing it. | M | 27 | 4 days | 2/19/2009 | 3 | nasal congestion | I felt jittery, like extra adrenaline racing through me. Only on it 2 days, and jittery right away, it wears off in a few hours (I take in am and pm, for first week, I was told).Taking it because I've had nasal congestion for years, just hate going to doctor. Now I can breath through my nose, esp. at night! Not a "mouth-breather" anymore!! | Need to keep reading, but wasn't that gung-ho to take this anyhow, as it is a steroid, adn worried about damage to my nose. And shocked at the price! | F | 38 | 2 days | 2/18/2009 |
