| 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 | 1 | Allergies | I had a longer response typed but there is a character limit. In short side effects were: Irrational anxiety and depression at levels that far surpassed anything I have ever experienced, painful heart palpitations (which felt terrible given that I already have a murmur due to mild MVP) and severe insomnia (complete with nightmares and cold sweats). I should also mention that while I never had a nose bleed “per se” while on Nasonex, I did notice blood in my mucus anytime I blew my nose (and that has never happened before). I cannot believe this is prescribed to children… I am sure they have no way of putting a lot of these feelings into words. It’s also beyond me how none of this is listed as even a rare/possible side effect. Took one day for allergy symptoms to return and three days for side effect to wear off completely. | M | 25 | 3 weeks | 2/14/2009 | 4 | Ear and sinus infection | I was tired, did not sleep well, would get palpitations that lasted for a few minutes, and had a sense of unease. It did however, help clear up the blockage. I also felt very hot, particularly in my chest and arms. | I have very mixed feelings. It certainly helped to clear me up, but the side effects were very noticeable, and I did not feel at all like myself. I was using 2x a day for two weeks, and I discontinued use of my own accord, as I found the side effects most disturbing. I found that I felt like I was just totally out of sorts, and had great sense of being uneasy and somewhat nervous. I had great difficulty sleeping more than an hour or two at a time. This is very out of character for me, as I am usually a confident person, who is not nervous. The circular that came with it did not say a word about these possible effects, nor did my physician. Having read the other postings, there is something going on with Nasonex that needs to be studied and documented much more. | M | 53 | 2 weeks | 2/12/2009 | 2 | Nasal Polyps | I've been taking Nasonex now for 5 years and generally don't have side effects like noosebleeds etc. I take it because I lose my sense of taste and smell when I'm off it. It helps, I guess, because I've tried to live without it for a couple of months and couldn't smell or taste. When I went back on it I got my sense of smell and taste back within a couple of days. However, I experience a hangover-like condition every once in a while in the mornings (I take it before bedtime). I have a headache in form of a constant pressure behind my left eye, nausea, fatigue. It really feels like a hangover without having any alcohol the night before. Haven't experienced heart palpitations etc. but some difficulty falling asleep. Price is outrageous. I wish I could live without it. | M | 45 | 5 years | 2/6/2009 | 1 | asthma, sinusitis | heart fluttering, heart out of chest, pounding, extreme fast heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, chest tightness, high blood pressure, almost fainting, thought I had heart attack, co workers thought to take me to emergency, waking up in the middle of the night with palpitations and tight chest, and jittery | I did not make the connection.... until I started reviewing what was new in my medicines... I had discontinued Nasonex some years ago because I noticed it raised my blood pressure.... but after a series of bronchitis Allergist and pulmonologists suggested I use it again.... 3 or four day after I staerted nasonex, and in the past seven days I had three of the acute episodes I describe with all the symptoms at the same time.... it would feel just like a heart attack. I will discontnue it right now!!! | M | 52 | 5 days | 2/6/2009 | 2 | Nasal Congestion | Severe insomnia and a noticeably lighter wallet. | Moderately effective but unnecessarily overpriced. | M | 30 | 3 days | 2/5/2009 | 5 | WARNING!!!! This is the first and only drug that cured my severe allergies - HOWEVER! For years I ignored the side effects this drug was causing me! It does in fact cause irritability, vision trouble, boils, left eye pain and pressure, light sensitivity, extreme dizziness, viral infection, headaches, loss of sex drive, bloating, heart palpitations, and sleeping problems (once you fall asleep you wake up suddenly 45 mins., after falling asleep with major heart palpitations and confusion and then you have trouble going back to bed!) Also, since it's a steroid it also causes facial hair to grow faster (not a big hit if you are a woman). | I am sad and at a loss b/c it does indeed stop allergies but at what cost? I am not going to continue using this drug b/c of these side effects that have taken me to multiple doctor visits and the ER on a few occasions b/c with the severe heart palpitations, dizziness and vision problems I was not sure what was happening to me, I now however know. I have stopped taking Nasonex and now the symptoms are gone!!! | F | 28 | 4 years | 2/4/2009 | 3 | Nasal Congestion | I have tried Nasonex twice. Both times I have experience irregular acne on my face. I only narrowed it down to the nasonex after the second time I used it. | 24 | 2 weeks | 2/4/2009 | 1 | Sinus congestion | I had many of the same side effects I just read about on this page. I had tightness in my chest, heart racing (as high as 120), headaches, dizziness, foggy thinking, trouble sleeping, a burning sensation(like really bad heart burn), tierd, chest was sore. I had started taking a decongestant which caused my heart to race. My doctor then put me on Nasonex and told me it would not cause this. So when it began racing again I was instructed by me doctor to go into the ER. They ran all kinds of test and found nothing. I had to see a heart doctor who after reviewing all my testings, xrays, and boold work finding nothing wrong, he and the ER doctor looked up Nasonex and said that though not often Nasonex could cause this because it is a steroid. I had been admitted to the hospital and just got home today. I wish I would have found this information before. I dont have insurance, so this whole event is going to cost me. | You can always try it. It did clear my sinuses, but while on it I thought I had something seriously wrong with me. Very scary experiance!! | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 1/29/2009 | 2 | Sinus infection, headaches | Our son had been complaining about mild headaches frequently for the past several months. Our pediatrician felt that he had a sinus infection. Our son took nasonex, one squirt to each nostril every night before bed for 2 weeks, along with an antibiotic.I didn't notice anything really all that different at home, but his preschool teachers actually called us at home after 2 weeks of the Nasonex and said how concerned they were about his behavior at school. He was restless, wouldn't pay attention or do what he was told, he was aggressive, and just not himself. We told them that he had been on this steroid and hoped that was the problem. He stopped taking it after 2 weeks (3 days ago) and still is causing concerns for the teachers. We shall see what happens. | Didn't seem to change anything with the headaches, continues to have them. Unsure if he ever had a sinus infection in the first place. We saw no benefit from taking this medication, possibly a negative side effect | M | 4 | 2 weeks | 1/27/2009 | 3 | Fluid in middle ear | On it four days, so far only experienced heart palpitations and one night I got a really high-pitched ringing/buzzing in my ear accompanied by what felt like an electric shock. Mild sore throat. I'll try it for two weeks and see if it works or if the side effects get worse. | Like most people on this site, I wasn't given any information on the drug. My doctor just handed me two samples and said "spray once a day." I asked her about side effects and she said there were none. If it's true that this drug causes all of these symptoms described, I am very sorely disappointed in the manufacturer for hiding this information. | F | 31 | 4 days | 1/26/2009 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Heart palpatations, alot of nose polys, depression anxiety, shortness of breath.Might need operation to get rid of side effects | Was on nasonex for 1 year. Been off for 2 months. Heart palpatations almost gone. Still have shortness of breath. I was on sinus infection medication and just waiting to see if all the side effects go away or if I need to get the operation. Feel 70 percent better from being off nasonex. Symptoms slowly going away. Watch out for his drug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also doctors, ENT's also told me that nasonex doesnt cause these problems but they are obviously dead wrong! There should be legal action here due to the fact that these symptoms are not listed, and doctors and ENT's are giving out wrong information. | F | 28 | 365 days | 1/25/2009 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis | Painful eyes--as though they were being squished and sqeezed. Also had muscle aches, and difficulty falling and staying asleep. | It worked well, but I just could not tolerate the side effects. | M | 27 | 3 days | 1/24/2009 | 1 | allergies | irritated, confused, headache, disoriented, aggrevated | My daughter took Nasonex about an hour before bed. She had trouble staying asleep. She tossed, kicked, cried and complained for hours. She is NEVER like this. Her eyes were watering and her eyes were open but vacant. It scared my husband and me. I will not give this medication to her again. | F | 7 | 1 days | 1/20/2009 | 5 | Dust mites, grasses, trees, etc. | None | I had some of the worst allergy symptoms prior to using Nasonex. Since using Nasonex, I rarely if ever get any inflamation. I think my many years of use have caused a more accute sense of smell, such that I smell the slightest oder, fragrence, or smell long before anyone else notices them. | M | 48 | 5 years | 1/18/2009 | 1 | ear infections | Moodiness, and inability to fall a sleep and stay a sleep. | My 3 year old was prescribed this and I only gave it to her for 3 days. It was awful for her. She was off the wall!!! And then couldn't sleep. I don't think adult meds are meant for children. However, I tried it for my allergies (I'm 37) and it gave me a severe headache. | F | 3 | 3 days | 1/11/2009 |
