| 1 | NASAL CONGESTION | SORE LEFT SHOULDER, CONSTANT URGE TO PEE, LONELY AND UNSATISFIED, MULTIPLE NOSE POLYPS | TOOK 1 YEAR AND AN OPERATION TO GET RID OF SIDE EFFECTS | F | 55 | 10 years | 1/2/2009 | 5 | | 12/30/2008 | 1 | sinus and allergy | terrible anxiety and rise in blood pressure | I asked for this to try instead of flonase which gave me occasional nose bleeds and just has a bad taste. In 3 days I was on here checking to see if anyone else was having shakes and anxiety as I just had a feeling it was the nasonex. I didnt take any today and already feel a little better. I had only had 3X1 doses so Im hoping I will be back to norm. in a few days..and back to my flonase which never gave me any angst. Felt like a cat with its tail under a rocking chair. | F | 72 | 3 days | 12/29/2008 | 1 | Post nasal drip | I could not sleep, had blurry vision, numbness on left side, anxiety attacks, weight gain, depression and could not focus. Although I suffer from migraines, they became worse. | I wound up in the emergency room where I was informed that my blood pressure was very high. I have never suffered from high blood pressure as it has always been on the low side. It took me over six weeks to get over the symptoms. Needless to say, I would never take this medication again. | F | 58 | 5 weeks | 12/26/2008 | 1 | Ear Infection-Reduce Adnoid Size | After taking Nasonex for several days given at bedtime. On about the 5th night(an hour or so after going to sleep)my son came into our room BURNING UP with a 102.3 fever and his heart was beating really really fast. We didn't make the connection, gave him some tylenol which cooled him off after a bit and he seemed okay the next day. On the following night (tonight as I write this post) same deal. I gave him his two squirts at bedtime and an hour or so later he comes in here BURNING UP AGAIN! HOT ALL OVER! Temp 102 again and his heart was POUNDING OUT OF HIS CHEST. That's it for this crap! I'm saddened the ENT would prescribe this to him. He should have said something about the possible side effects. This is SCARY. Thank GOD for this website and all the post I just read. He's just now cooling off again from the Tylenol. We're just going to have to have his adnoids removed. | This crap cost us an arm and a leg. $88.00 for a teeny weeny tiny spray bottle. This should be ILLEGAL!!!! | M | 43 | 6 days | 12/25/2008 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Loss of smell. | This med has helped me in the past. I asked for and was just prescribed it again today. It had been 3 1/2 years since I used it. This time the doc seemed quite concerned and made every effort to make me understand it is a steriod with side effects. She suggested I research it on the internet. And here I am. What an eye opener! It wasn't until reading the comments that I was alerted to the possible cause of losing my sense of smell a few years ago. At first I had a constant smell of, what I can only describe, as a wet ashtray. Didn't matter where I was, the smell was there. I couldn't get rid of it. I don't smoke nor did anyone in my home. After that went away, I had no sense of smell or taste at all. It got embarrassing at times as I would be asked to smell this or that followed quickly by the response of, "Oh, that's right, you can't smell." I couldn't! It took over 3 years before I got my sense of smell and taste back. I would like to hear from anyone that experienced the s | F | 53 | 3 months | 12/18/2008 | 1 | Allergy | Insomnia, depression, low sex drive | After having nasal surgery my ENT recommends that I take nasonex for the rest of my life. I took it for several months and then stopped. At that time I also had these symptoms but did not make the connection. Then started nasonex again for about a month and started getting the symptoms again. I have now been off it for just over 3 weeks but still have some of the symptoms and am very concerned. I hope some people on here can post how long it took for all the symptoms to go away after not taking it. I am curious to see if the symptoms I have are truly related to it or if I am just being overly stressed about it. | M | 38 | 6 months | 12/16/2008 | 3 | Nasal Polyps & Congestion | Very high-pitched, constant, tinnitus (like 'cricket chirping'- only higher). | I am not 100% sure that taking Nasonex is the cause of this tinnitus. However, it only appeared after taking this, so I think there is a pretty good chance it is the cause. The Nasonex has worked to unblock my nose though. | M | 48 | 2 years | 12/11/2008 | 1 | itchy eyes, nose and sinus problem | I recently had sudden onset of insomnia, racing thoughts and intense anxiety during the night. Prior to this current use of Nasonex I had the same problems for at least a year. I did an intensive sleep training clinic, addressing anxiety and good sleep behavior. At the same time of this treatment I had a respiratory infection and had my meds changed to address my asthma. Near the day that Nasonex was dropped I suddenly slept deeply. I thought it was the training working after 5+ weeks of intensively addressing the sleep issue. So, about 40 days ago my allergist said my infection was cleared up and to go back on Nasonex. Within days my sleep was disturbed. So, yesterday I decided to look over my calender and drug info to see if I could make any connections. It is not indicated on the Nasonex information that there could be sleep or other behavioral disturbances so, I NEVER SUSPECTED IT. It clearly showed on my calender that use of Nasonex was consistent with the sleep and anxiet | If you must, use with extreme caution and observation. It is always important to journal drug use. | F | 44 | 40 days | 12/11/2008 | 1 | irritated, drippy nose | Headaches, blurry vision, irritability, bloating and weight gain, mental fog, flu-like aches, memory problems, fatigue, finger joint (1 hand only), and anal burning. After 3 weeks use, I ended up with Iritis in my left eye for nearly 3 weeks, which left me with blurry vision and was unable to see out of that eye. I had to keep it dilated for 10 days to keep from having permanent vision loss. Also, Nasonex cost me $$ for eye doctor and anti-inflammatory eyedrops, loss of work, and lack any joy in my life. | I can't believe the doctor said there would be no side effects, and I only took the child's dose (1 X day). I thought I had a brain tumor or developed some auto-immune disease. I was ready to get a CT scan or something. I could have ended up seeing Dr. House! | F | 56 | 6 weeks | 12/10/2008 | 4 | Allergies | none | I think this stuff works best with just sporadic use. I had most of my allergies symptoms disappear after the second day, so i stopped taking it. My allergies symptoms didn't reappear for about a month, so I took one more hit and that bought me another month of relief. I suspect that the daily use recommendation is overkill that results in bad side effects, and is probably just to sell more medication. | M | 90 days | 12/9/2008 | 5 | Lifelong allergy to cats | None, in spite of using Nasonex every day for about as long as it has been in existence (10 years? 15?). I have occasional nosebleeds - and by "occasional" I mean maybe 5 a year, so they may not even be related to Nasonex usage. | It's a Godsend. We can have cats thanks to Nasonex; without that, I'd be asthmatic and allergic. | M | 53 | 10 years | 12/6/2008 | 1 | Allergies | My 6 year old son was very aggressive, had a very out of character crying fit, seemed disoreintated, appeared to be hullacinating (claiming his friends were on TV!), was aggressive towards his sister (very out of character) and aggressive towards me (even more out of character). He was exhausted but could not sleep. He cried for an hour at school drop off, so much so that the principal came and asked if I needed help. Similar reaction to Flixotide. | If you have a child who is affected by corti-steriods, I would use this with extreme caution. | M | 6 | 6 days | 12/3/2008 | 1 | supposed allergies | After using for 4 days have been sleepless for the last two. General unease and nervousness. Actually got up in the middle of the night to eat! Have throat tightness and chest heaviness. Took today off work because I didn't sleep all night! | Has not cleared the drip and stuffy nose that it was prescribed for; not worth the side effects, am going to stop using it. | F | 41 | 4 days | 12/1/2008 | 5 | Hayfever | None at all! | Have tried many different prescribed nasal sprays for hayfever but this is the only one that works for me. | F | 42 | 4 months | 11/28/2008 | 3 | ear infection | after 4 full days of using it in conjucntion with antibiotics to fight a "severe" ear infection, the ear mess is about cleared up but I now feel weak, tired, foggy, red-eyed, and chest-congested (which is what led to the darn ear infection in the first place!) | Think I will stop using Nasonex after reading all these comments. | M | 35 | 4 days | 11/26/2008 | 1 | Allergies/ Swollen Sinuses | Extreme irritability, mood swings, "autistic" like symptoms, vomiting/nausea. | Would most definitely NOT recommend children taking this medication. | M | 6 | 3 weeks | 11/25/2008 | 1 | allergies, rhinitis | anxiety, mood swings,deppression, heart palpitations | Although it helped my symptoms I had a terrible experience with Nasonex and its emotional side effects. When I returned to the allergist and described my experience, he told me that it was impossible for the drug to have that effect. I firmly believe that this is not true. I know how I felt while taking it. Nasonex made me go crazy for the duration of the time that I was on it. When I stopped taking it, I returned to my normal self. | M | 33 | 80 days | 11/25/2008 | 2 | congestion of the sinus | anxiety, hunger, fast heart beat, sleepiness, insomnia, shaky, itchy, nervousness, restlessness | Used Nasonex on and off for years and was not aware that it could be the cause of fast heart rate, shaky/nervosness until I did the reserch to see why I had these symptoms. Was doing fine and used it in the afternon then while sleeping woke up with fast heart beat & anxiety and restlessness. Will go off and see if the side effects go away. Use Nasonex so rarley and to have the above symptoms the same day caused my suspicion. However it does work, but not worth the health risks. | M | 66 | | 11/23/2008 | 1 | Chronic allergies (all year) | Total Loss of smell and accompanying loss of taste | After taking it for 3 years, I had all the other symptoms (bleeding nose, dryness, etc) but it cured my allergies. Now, in the last month, complete loss of smell which is DRAMATIC! Nobody can tell if it will come back. Anyone knows? | M | 49 | 3 years | 11/21/2008 |
