This is a steroid not a NSAID M 30 days

 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

 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

 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
