| 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 | 5/28/2008 | 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. | M | 3 | 1 months | 5/27/2008 | 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 | 5/27/2008 | 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 | 5/27/2008 | 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 | 5/22/2008 | 1 | Mold Allergy | Irritability, insomnia, depression, anxiety, headaches. | The stuff worked great for a few years, with occasional use. Then I moved to the coast and at my Dr.'s direction, started using twice daily, 12 months out of the year. That's when the problem started. | M | 54 | 5 years | 5/12/2008 | 3 | sinus, dizziness | Aching joints, sore kidneys, hard to pee, very tired, tired muscles, , legs are sensitive to touch, back aches, overall discomfort and sore all over body. | I was very dizzy due to the fluid in my ears (sinus blockage)and my Dr. prescribed Nasonex. It worked great, my dizzyness went away after 2 days but the Dr. told me to keep taking it. I am stopping it now, I was feeling very tired all of the time, achy joints, tired muscles, all of the before mentioned side effects, I couldn't figure out what it was until I googled it and saw this website, am stopping this drug immediately. | M | 32 | 5 days | 5/11/2008 | 3 | chronic allergies/ear fluid | anxiety, bloody nose | My six year old son was given this as a last resort after multiple medicines haven't worked for allergies/ear fluid. This little boy has always had excellent behavior. The first morning after receiving a nightly dose of this, he had a meltdown at school so bad, crying hysterically the teacher ordered me to pick him up. He immediatly changed and began crying every day in school ( noone was picking on him) and wanting to come home because he missed me. This is the last month of school and he NEVER acted like this before ever. Almost like a different child. Dr and pharmacist say this med is not sytemically absorbed, so is NOT the cause of the sudden abrupt behavior change. I am stopping it and expect his behavior to be back to NOT sad and anxious anymore. His nose is clear in the morning, but full and clogged by the end of the day. Not worth what he has been going through side effects. Dr refuses to accept that it even MIGHT be this medicine. I am convinced it is. | M | 6 | 7 days | 5/6/2008 | 3 | seasonal allergy | Suicidal thoughts, depression, lethargy, and anger. | Although Nasonex was effective with controlling my seasonal allergies (peak in fall & spring) it caused very nasty side effects. I took my self off it twice just to confirm that it was causing my mood changes, and it was confirmed (becareful to titrate off, because it is a steriod). I threw away my Nasonex and am now taking Zyrtec with decent results. | F | 30 | 2 years | 4/30/2008 | 4 | rhinitis | none | worked quite well for a while..developed a resistance to it though. | F | 25 | 3 years | 4/29/2008 | 5 | allergies to tree pollen | None | This is the first time in 30 years I have not suffered through 6 weeks spring tree pollen. I love this stuff. I will use it again next spring | M | 51 | 45 days | 4/24/2008 | 3 | head pressure, cough, nasal drip | felt jittery, shaky, and very tired | it did help my pressure and cough, but was not comfortable with the "shaky" feeling I was having while using it. i think i will stick to benadryl | F | 41 | 2 days | 4/23/2008 | 3 | Rhinitis | I don't know if this is a side effect but after taking this medication for 2 weeks I started getting severe itching, burning and redness in the eyes. My prescribed eye drops and salve don't seem to help. This only starts in the afternoon but lasts until I go to bed. In the morning it is not bothersome. | I should also say that I take many other medications as I have Myasthenia Gravis disease(ocular version)but those meds have never given me any problems or side effects other than, I suspect, the rhinitis. | M | 67 | 17 days | 4/21/2008 | 2 | sinusitis | severe headache and muscle tension as a result. Dry sinuses that are irritating, restless sleep, everyday stresses seem enhanced. headache encompassing all sinus points is the worse - will cease immediately and begin hopefully to be able to use the neti-pot | F | 52 | 14 days | 4/20/2008 | 3 | Congestion and sinus headaches | I have been taking Nasonex for five weeks, and in retrospect, I'm realizing how negatively it has impacted my life. I have had extreme mood swings, depression, overwhelmed, and crying easily. At first the drug did help with my congestion and headaches, but now I am seeing that it also caused these terrible side effects. After seeing these other comments here, I will also be stopping my use of Nasonex. | I would not recommend using Nasonex. | F | 27 | 5 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 2 | nasal polyps | I've been effected with bad headaches, chest congestion and cough. Not sleeping for more than 2 hours, so very tired. Also I get dizzy with a feeling that my body is moving slower than my mind. | I've used my last spray today!!! | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 4/19/2008 | 1 | Allergy | EXTREME tiredness, feeling like in a fog, disoriented, shaky like I've not eaten, but have and am not hungry. Some nosebleeds, some dryness and itchiness in eyes. So, so tired. My entire body aches, all my joints ache and even heavy pain killers don't make it go away. Feels like my joints are locking up on me. Very painful to move around. | I am stopping this medicine immediately. I was given it by my ear, nose and throat doctor to help with my earaches that he said were from allergies. He prescribed two puffs, each nostril, two times a day. Have been on it one week now and finally determined that I'm not getting the flu or the bug around the office again...it's the medicine! My pharmacist said that it can cause these types of side effects. He was great in helping me determine strange side effects from another medicine that turned out to be very common side effects. If you have ANY doubts, check with a pharmacist and ask him/her for the real scoop on the medicine! Tell the ALL your symptoms and ask if he/she has ever run across these same types of complaints while others were on the drug. You may be suprised as to what you hear! | F | 37 | 7 days | 4/17/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Definitely keeping me awake at night. I'm only sleeping 1 or 2 hours at a time. Last night seemed to reach a peak, after being on the medicine for about 2 weeks. I had this same problem last year when I tried it too. | I really want to find a solution for the insomnia, because the Nasonex definitely helps me feel better otherwise. But sleep is essential! I'm going to stop the medicine for a few days, and then try taking the dose in the morning instead of the prescribed bedtime. | F | 41 | 12 days | 4/16/2008 | 1 | allergies | anxiety!!!!!!joint pain, stomach pain, numbness in arms, hives | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 4/15/2008 | 3 | Allergic Rhinitis | I started taking Nasonex on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday) I felt tight in the chest and my heart was pounding. Although I was suspecting Nasonex to be the cause, I used it today again and then I found this website! I see other people have had the same effects. I'm not going to use it again. I wonder how long it will take for these effects to go away. | It did help with the stuffy nose. | F | 46 | 3 days | 4/14/2008 |
