 3  allergies Joint pain, body aches, extremely upset stomach, weight gain I have had bad joint pain and problems in the past. Since taking this med and pulmicort and another corticosteroid for my skin (a few months prior), I've realized that it is all of the steroids that are causing my arthritis and body aches. It is a known side effect of steroids but not pointed out with this or any of the other drugs (including prednisone and corticosteroid spinal injections to stop pain) I've been regularly perscribed. Not to mention the weight issues that have come about through all of this. I have gone from a 115 lb frame to 165, gaining on average 10-15 pounds with each steroidal drug. I lose 5-10 but the next drug just adds more weight and it is the hardest thing to lose. To make matters worse, the extra fat deposits in weird places, like between my shoulder blades, in my face, my feet, etc. F 28 60 days

 1  allergies mood swings, extreme irritability, scared I stopped taking this medicine because I immediately noticed an issue with my moods. I thought it was reacting with some other medication I was on. However, my two children (4 and 8) also took it. I took them both off of it when I noticed my 4 year old being extremely more scared of things than usual and very bad mood swings. I have thrown it all out and will not take my children back to the doctor who prescribed this to them. F 4 30 days

 1  sinus problems irritable, anxious, depression, lack of energy and skin sensitivity. thank God I googled this nasty drug - after returning from my fabulous honeymoon and feeling on top of the world, I was prescribed nasonex for my sinus problems. It took me about 1 week to work out that it was causing my irritability, depression, sensitivity and lethargy. BOO BOO Schering - Plough Pty Ltd M 38 7 days

 5  year round allergies NONE I am loving this stuff. I used to take Allegra-D twice daily and hit a wall this spring when Allegra stopped working for me. I developed horrible sinusitis which I thought would kill me...I have sleep apnea and asthma so I really need to breathe at night. Dr. put me on Nasonex which cleared up the allergies immediatley. I have decreased my 2x daily dose to once a day and feel amazing!! I have finally become a nose breather at night and so even my apnea is a bit better. Love this stuff. F 45 2 months

 2  allergies; congestion due to After only 3 days, I have completely lost my sense of smell. Haven't noticed too much taste alterations, but my diet coke isn't as appealing as usual. Sore throat, headache, neck ache. Nothing else. It dries out my nose, which is good but I like to smell things! Has anyone regained their sense of smell? After a day of not smelling anything, I miss it! F 20 3 days

 5  allergies and snoring None I have had dust allergies for years and take claritin for them. However, antihistamines also can cause snoring and since I take in the morning it often wears off at night. So, I started to use the nasonex before bed and it works great. I sleep great with less snoring and I don't wake up with a stuffy nose anymore! F 33 1 months

 2  Nasal sores A deep lower chest pain. Like a feeling of asthma or indigestion or heart burn in my chest when just sitting still. Like some ones sat on my chest even though sitting or standing with no activity. Healthy runner, training for a marathon and this started within a day of using Nasonex. Deduced after 3 days what I was doing different was taking nasonex... No longer taking it but symptoms persist. 24 hrs on.. Hope it subsides. M 32 3 days

 1  Sinus infection Anxiety, considerable insomnia, shaky hands, palpitations, scatterbrained, depression/mood swings Two doctors and a pharmacist independently recommended Nasonex for my symptoms. I developed these problems fairly quickly but never would have thought it was the nose spray. Get the truth out! Why are these side effects not listed in the "official" information? I never have health problems and am not allergic to anything. These reactions have contributed to a not insignificant problem in my personal life. Thanks Nasonex! M 23 15 days

 3  Sinus I experienced dizziness, anxiety, and blur vision. As if my sinus problem wasn't bad enough, the side-effects made my entire facial region (ear, nose, eyes) a very uncomfortable region. The overwhelming side-effects masked the usefulness of the drug. I switched to Afrin, a non-steriod nasal spray, that cleared my nasal passages sans crazy side-effects. F 23 5 days

 2  allergies dry nose, nightmares? Began with dry nose about 4 weeks into drug. Six weeks into drug began having nightmares. Not too sure if nightmares caused by drug. We immediately stopped medication, now I'm dealing with stopping constant nightmares. Now developed anxiety at bedtime resulting in nightly nightmares! M 11 42 days

 1  allergies, dizzy Horrible anxiety, heart palpatations, muscle aches, severe sleeplessnes, dizzy, nausea. This is the worst medicine I could have taken- All steroids can amp you- this spray made me crazy. I thank God I found this site- I thought I was going crazy. After 2 months of taking this med. I was so anxious I could not sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I was not focused, I was vomitting after I took it. It took 4-7 days- but after I stopped taking this medicine I feel so much better. If you have any of these effects- stop now! My doctor never told me about the possibility of these side effects- I feel like this medicine made me worse. F 38 51 days

 1  Mild hay fever My son (age 4) experienced stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea, extreme mood swings, aggression and rage, crying jags, severe temper tantrums, sleep disturbances, and night terrors. I can't believe that our pediatrician (who is normally quite on-the-ball about such things) prescribed this for our son -- he was a preemie, with feeding/stomach problems and growth issues, and those are listed right on the official side effects sheet that accompanies Nasonex. To top it off, our son really only has mild allergies! We thought he had just picked up a stomach bug, but after the diarrhea and stomach pains didn't go away, and the other side effects started, we sussed out that it was the Nasonex causing the problems. Thank the gods for this website -- it confirmed our suspicions. We stopped his dosage yesterday, and hope to see an improvement soon. The funny thing is, I am normally the one who is hyper-sensitive to medication, and I have used Nasonex with no problems! I think once our son gets back to normal, we'll just try him on a saline solution spray, to flush his sinuses. M 4 1 weeks

 3  severe runny nose and congestion Irritability, mood swings, cries more over little things, nervous. Wondering if these changes are related to Nasonex or Singulair or Pulmicort. Also began stuttering and repeating same word over and over, never did or had any of these issues before. Thought it was just being a toddler, but they seem real extreme and did not exist before starting these meds. Nasonex was started last and things got WORSE, now he is biting his toe nails and is never content, even more anxious. Very worried about small children and this drug as well as others. Worried about affect on growth, immune system. I will say that since he has been on this medication, he has not had another sinus infection and although the runny nose remains, its not nearly as bad and doesn't seem to cause as many colds and infections as before, I just wish there was something else I could try, I hate trading one problem for another.

 2  CHRONIC SINUSITIS POLYP CONTROL Mild Headache, Dry Feeling In Sinuses, Increased Wheezing, Occasional "Flutter-Like" Heartbeat. This medication did a fantastic job of treating nasal/sinus symptoms. However, I discontinued about a month ago due to side effects. I've previously used nasal steroids for several years without any side effects whatsoever. I'm wondering if, after reading some of other comments posted, if either the new generation steroids or their delivery mechanism are causing issues. M 45 3 years

 2  allergies, runny nose My son was put on Nasonex after trying Claritin for children which had terrible side-effects on his behavior. My son seemed to always have a stuffy, runny, nose - breathing through his mouth - the eternal cold. Like other parents who have commented, my son has not been himself for the past week. He has no appetite, his nose seems worse than ever, and he drools terribly - I go through two shirts a day, even though he has all his teeth (he is no longer teething). My son has also started becoming scared, jittery, and anxious about many things -- I realize he just turned 2, but this change was just too abrupt to be his "age" as many people tell me. I'm taking him off of Nasonex to be safe, especially after reading the other posts. M 2 10 days

 2  Sinus Congestion My 4 year old daughter experienced extreme mood changes. She was unable to go to sleep at night and would state that she wanted to hurt herself as well as other bizarre comments. During uncontrollable bouts of crying, she would say she hated herself because she could not stop. I cannot recall a time where I could refer to my child as sad, angry or violent…until she was prescribed this drug. This drug may be very helpful for adults. However, I do not believe it is for children. F 4 2 weeks
