| 3 | Allergic Rhinitis, Post Nasal Drip | Dry cough at night, sore chest, sore nasal passages, sore throat, weakened immune system, sleeplessness, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, headaches | I was prescibed Nasonex because of hay fever made much worse by desert sandstorms where I live overseas. I had no idea the spray is steriod related. Lately I have come to recognize the severity of my hay fever problem, and thought it was causing ALL of the above. I started using the Nasonex more. It does help the runny nose and sneezing. The sleeplessness and nervous tension are something I have been aware of lately, and it has been a mystery to me. I had no idea that the cough I have now developed could be related to the Nasonex. It is typical in a foreign country not to be told all of the truth. I already use steroid cream very sparingly for occasional eczema. I will never use the Nasonex again, even though it gives the quick relief. Thank God I found this site and can see I'm not alone. | M | 40 | 12 months | 9/15/2008 | 5 | Very bad allergies | I so seem to feel more hungry and have put on about 7 lbs since taking nasonex. I have had a few more cramps around my cycle time but I did suffer bad PMT anyway. | Nasonex has really worked for me. I started having problems after I suffered a miscarriage last year and my allergies went a bit crazy. I now have a very high allery to my cat, dust mites and my general allery reading was 20 times higher than it should be. The doctor said he had never seen such high allery results. I was getting severe headaches, eyes were swelling up and terrible earache, but nasonex has made me feel so much better. I was a bit worried when I read all the comments on this site but I must be one of the lucky ones. | F | 34 | 5 months | 9/13/2008 | 1 | Nasal polyps | It worked for a while but then I noticed headaches and heart palpitaions, moodiness, and sometimes the smell of wood burning. I'm not layed back as before as I sometimes suffer from anxiety too.After discontinuing the nasonex all symthoms dis-appeared but I still get jittery and anxious at times. | None of the side affects were on the pamplet that came with nasonex. It is a good medicine to make healthy people unhealthy. Go seek alternative medicine. herbs cant hurt you | M | 67 | 6 months | 9/12/2008 | 2 | allergies-sinus pressure | sleeplessness, anxiety, tightness in chest, chest pains, heart palpitations, extreme dizziness, tension headaches, inability to think clearly and to focus, stiffness and weakness in arms and legs, loss of appetite. | I think that this may have worked for me because it took care of my sinus pressure after taking it 2x a day for a week, I went back to my allergist and mentioned my anxiety symptoms, on which she did not comment, and then she said to take it once a day. The pressure started creeping back after about 3 days. Stopped taking it today. | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 9/7/2008 | 2 | chronic congestion, runny nose | nose bleeds | F | 5 | 6 months | 9/7/2008 | 2 | sinus infection | sleeplessness, palpitations, anxiety, chest pains, hard to get back to sleep, poor sleep episodes (no longer then an hour and a half in length), headaches, racing heart beat | I was prescribed this after having the some problems with Flonase. I cut my dosage in half (was supposed to be 2 sprays each nostril twice daily) the last day I took it (1 spray each nostril only once that day). Luckily I was also prescribed an anti-biotic that will take care of the infection regardless of use of a nasal spray or not. | M | 22 | 4 days | 8/23/2008 | 3 | sinusitis | Occasional nosebleed and persistent CHEESY smell | works ok but not great. | M | 47 | 2 months | 8/8/2008 | 2 | sinus headaches/allergies | The drug worked well but I'm writing to inform others that using a nasal steroid can cause early cataracts. I'm only 41 and my doctor noticed my eyes looked like they were in the beginning stages of cataract formation. I've never heard this before...I was horrified! Nasonex worked very well for my sinus headaches, but I don't want to risk my eye sight as a result. | Possible cause of beginnings of cataracts! | F | 41 | 8 months | 8/2/2008 | 3 | allergies | mouth ulcers, metallic taste in mouth, constant sneezing | Nasonex really works to cleear allergies but I couldn't stand the side affects. Now I'm just on Singulair and it works great! | F | 19 | 5 days | 7/31/2008 | 1 | sinus infection | | 7/30/2008 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My husband was taking this when about 1 week later he noticed a black spot in his central vision of his right eye. (Bleeding in his eye). | Went to eye specialist. She asked if he was taking a nasal spray with "steroids" in it. This is what caused the bleeding. (which she later denied saying). Took 2 years of test after test to try to stop the bleeding and ultimately laser treatment (she "fried" his macula" and referred him to someone else. The bleeding finally stopped but He did not get his vision back because of the laser surgery. It was an absolute nightmare. Tried to get a lawyer but because there was no precedent set after a lot of reseach he did not take our case. Ultimately my husband had cancer (unrelated) and passed away. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT. | M | 1 weeks | 7/26/2008 | 2 | fluid in ear | The first few days my ear was better, but slowly I began having back pain which became severe chest pain over time. Painful to breathe deeply. Was on my way to urgent care when I read this website. Now, I'll quit using it and see if that takes care of the pain. | F | 48 | 18 days | 7/22/2008 | 1 | allergies | Severe orbital pain and headache on the right side only. Sore throat. Anxiety. Moodiness. | I started taking Nasonex sporadically for the last few weeks and just recently started taking it regularly as prescribed, twice daily. Side effects are debilitating. Can't drive, can't do anything. Constant pain. | F | 36 | 5 days | 7/21/2008 | 3 | After Sinus Surgery for Acute Sinus | Knees ache when bending or getting up (this happened suddenly after taking this medicine). Tired every day and trouble sleeping. Other than those things, I feel great since my surgery. | I was shocked to see the comments here. I honestly don't think Nasonex has been a horrible experience for me. I just wonder if my sudden achy knees are caused by taking it (which is why I am on here). I feel for anyone who has to endure sinusitis and I know the pain suffered from that is worse than anything. I would take this again as I don't think the side effects are severe for me. | F | 38 | 3 weeks | 7/16/2008 | 3 | nasal congestion and polyps | sore left shoulder, constant urge to pee, lonely, never satisfied, high pressure in eyes | tries to wean off but failed, nose totally filled with blisters, polyps, am now waiting for surgery as side effects are not worth the congestion relief | F | 54 | 10 years | 7/13/2008 | 2 | bad tast in mouth, nausea, and acid reflux....stopped taking it for four days and nausea continues...anyone else had this problem with nausea and lasting after you stop for days. | F | 22 days | 7/12/2008 | 2 | allergies/congestion | Sore throat, shortness of breath,tired/sleepy often, cold/flu symtoms, neck, arm , shoulder aches and pains. I would not recommend this drug to anyone w/o careful analysis of pros and cons.The pharmycist didn't know anything about the counterindication when I contacted him.They just sell the stuff . | This is a steroid not a NSAID | M | 30 days | 7/9/2008 | 3 | Sinusitis | Lost sense of smell completely after 3 days of Nasonex. | I stopped taking Nasonex after 3 days and 10 days later still have not recovered my sense of smell. I can breathe through my nose but also still have some remaining sinus symptoms. It did help drain the sinuses. Short term use is OK unless this loss of smell permanent. | M | 58 | 3 days | 7/7/2008 | 1 | allergies | My 8 yr old daughter has been on this nasal spray for about 2 months and I have noticed her behavior change from day to night. She is so easy going & has been very agressive on this medicine. She also has had many bouts of nausea & vomiting which I am sure is from this now. I have taken her off of the medicine & her behavior is much better. | F | 8 | 60 days | 7/5/2008 | 4 | nasal allegies and night coughing | none | didn't see any side effects like others have mentioned | M | 6 | 3 months | 6/26/2008 |
