| 2 | I was having cough attacks and due to my sinus I was prescribed Nasonex, and it didn’t go well for me. I’m generally a pretty healthy person, and since taking it I have felt extremely tired, some anxiety, heart palpitations and headaches. I rather take my chances with the cough and sinus, after reading all these reviews plus my own experience, I’m stopping right now. | F | 45 | 5 days | 4/11/2008 | 1 | sinus infections from allergies | At first the Nasonex helped but after a few weeks became ill, lethargic and unable to do normal activity. Have been doing a nasal wash every day for 8 months now. After 5 rounds of antibiotics went to ENT for chemical cauterization 3 times. Extreme depression, anger, raging, insomnia worsened. Doctors and pharmacist told me these symptoms were not possible with Nasonex. Took myself off Nasonex and after 1 week the depression is lifting, the anger and raging are also subsiding. I have been treated before for depression but, I have never experienced the saddness, anger and raging that I have in this past 7 months of being on this medication. I am now trying Nasacort AQ and for the first time in that 8 months my face is pink where my sinuses are. I will be very attentive to how this medication works on me. | F | 61 | 7 months | 4/11/2008 | 3 | endoscopic sinus surgery | loss of taste, metallic taste, dizziness/vertigo | I had endoscopic sinus surgery two years ago. As a follow-up, the surgeon recommended Nasonex, supposedly to deter the polyps from returning. He also prescribed Astelin for seasonal allergies, which I take very infrequently. I have noticed an increasing loss of taste (and I love to cook!), smell and an unpleasant metallic taste. Has anyone else noticed this? | F | 47 | 2 years | 4/9/2008 | 1 | seasonal allergies | aggression, nightmares, mood changes, unusual thoughts | Nasonex was prescribed for my 7 year old daughter. It worked great from the first night. After 5 days we discontinued it because she changed! She had mood changes, aggression, nightmares, difficulty in school for the first time ever, and had unusual thoughts. Such as; she came to me and said she had an overwhelming desire to touch the hot stove and then burst into tears. It took almost 2 weeks to have our daughter back to her normal pleasant self! This is a corticosteroid and I do not think any child should take this! | F | 7 | 5 days | 4/9/2008 | 2 | sinus problems | This is my second try on Nasonex and my last. Both times I find my self becoming progressively more irritable and depressed after about a week on this med. First try I thought I was just more angry than usual ( I am normally pretty even tempered). you can bet this is my last spray! | F | 61 | 6 days | 4/8/2008 | 1 | nasal polyps | Did not help at all and only after a couple of weeks I had sharp pain in nasal area and I have lost my sense of smell and taste completely! This is very upsetting to me. Did this happen to anyone else? | I would never suggest anyone using this medication. | F | 54 | 2 days | 4/5/2008 | 1 | nasal drip | My 3-year old daughter was prescribed Nasonex to help control her constant nasal drip/allergies. Though the medicine does seem to help control the drip to an extent, the side effects are not worth the small benefit. My sweet-tempered child has become irrational and angry with constant mood swings, is anxious, apparently is hallucinating, and is having nightmares and night terrors. As the side effects have gradually worsened, I only recently put two and two together to realize it is the medicine. She had this identical reaction with Singulair about a year ago. | I am stopping Nasonex with her immediately. | F | 6 weeks | 4/1/2008 | 5 | congestion and constant runny nose | Just minor nosebleeds | I love Nasonex! I used to take Zyrtec-D twice a day. I am allergic to everything, including my 2 dogs. My airways are totally clear and my nose doesn't run at all now. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/31/2008 | 1 | Sinusitus | Started taking Nasonex 5 days ago after another bout of sinusitus. History of depression and on Prozac although stable for sometime. First few days on Nasonex was fine. Day 4 started to feel spaced out , anxious and depressed. Nothing on info sheet about anxiety etc as side effects. Googled 'Nasonex' and was shocked. Cant beleive my GP prescriped this knowing i suffer from depression with no warning! Stopping this horrible drug today. Glad i found this site. | F | 40 | 5 days | 3/30/2008 | 1 | I gave this to my 6 year old daughter. She began experiencing anxiety. She was upset and sad and could not tell me why. She suffered panic attacks at school and her school performance really suffered, so much that retention was raised as a posssibility. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO IS SENSITIVE TO MEDICINE, DO NOT GIVE THIS TO THEM!!!!!!! | F | 7 weeks | 3/27/2008 | 3 | blocked nasal passages | sore throat | used it before and it worked. This is the second time I have tried it and so far it is not working. | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 3/25/2008 | 3 | severe congestion due to allergies | weight gain, extremely tried in the afternoons, sometimes stuffed up. | I tried it for a month as directed by my doctor, yes my congestion is a lot better, but the weight gain is depressing i've been working out 4-5 days a week and have lost nothing...i feel hungary too often. | F | 37 | 1 months | 3/22/2008 | 2 | Allergies + ongoing cold | Extremely dizzy, lightheaded, dried tear ducts causing bloodshot and uncomfortably dry eyes | I could not drive I was so dizzy and had to miss work. This was not listed under any official side effects! I won't be using this 'scrip any more. | F | 35 | 2 days | 3/21/2008 | 5 | allergies runny nose & eyes, | No side effects. It totally takes care of my allergies. I also take Zyrtec. I am allergy-free. All the comments about eating, sleeping, jittery, heart palps, etc. Oi vey! For goodness sakes - if I eat more, it's because I'm hungry. If I'm not hungry - then I guess I am not hungry! If I feel jittery, it's because I am nervous. If I can't sleep, then I have...duh - insomnia. Don't buy into the hype, people. If it fixes what ails you, then good. Nasonex is a drug and is not a natural cure-all. Take it with caution and don't get paranoid about every little symptom. Whatever you're feeling could be just that and not necessarily caused by the drug. Thinking you have a rapid heartbeat causes a rapid heartbeat. Try it. The power of suggestion is very strong. | F | 57 | 4 years | 3/20/2008 | 1 | Sinus infection | Lightheadedness, upset stomach, pounding heart, chest pain, plugged ears | Started out fine, and then by the second week all the symptoms began and stayed for a week after stopping the medication. Was on no other medication at this time. | M | 36 | 13 days | 3/19/2008 | 3 | congested unilateral sinsus | sometimes in first week had tiredness. probably also contributed to excessive nasal dryness that may have aggrevated the swollen sinus condition. | worked very well the first 2-3 weeks just like Nasonex and Nasacort and then became mostly ineffective. suffered congestion for about 4 months most under doctor care using 4 different nasal sprays. While all seem to work initially for a couple of weeks or so, I think all greatly contributed to excessive nasal dryness to a sinus already made dry by allergy (ragweed most likely suspect). Decided to use non-medicated saline nasal spray several times a day to relieve dryness and also stopped all prescriptive nasal sprays. after about a week or so of almost constant nasal saline baths during the day and night, appears sinus now on the mend. also took 1G of viatamin C on theory to reduce histamines in system. no OTC oral drugs were effective except to disrupt sleep. oh yes, also used a 50% saline solution diluted Afrin spray a few times when night time sleeping too disrupted and very effective but very limited use due to rebound concerns. will also be sure to use saline sprays and nasa | 58 | 3 weeks | 3/18/2008 | 1 | allergies | mild headache, anxiety (extreme anxiety immediately after i sprayed my nose and then low level anxiety thereafter) - i am not an anxious person generally and have nothing to worry about, bloated feeling, bleeding nose (a lot), heartbeat extremely fast (i am very athletic and resting heart rate should be 60 but with nasonex my heartrate was well over 90-100 beats per minute), chest pain (like someone crushing my ribs) - but hey i wasnt sneezing! | not worth the horrible feelings | M | 31 | 17 days | 3/18/2008 | 3 | nasal congestion | Extreme excitability. | My 5-year old was put on Nasonex just over a week ago and he has become extremely hyper and talkative. No side effects like this were listed on the box, but seeing that other parents have experienced this as well has me convinced it's the Nasonex. We have a follow-up appt in another week. I'll see how things go until then. My son's nose does seem less congested, but the hyperactivity is out of control. | M | 5 | 7 days | 3/14/2008 | 1 | Sinus Congestion | I was having severe vertigo and my doctor prescribed Nasonex and Antivert (Meclazine) to alleviate the symptoms. My vertigo did not improve at all so I went to urgent care. The doctor took one look inside my ears and said, "Your ears are full of fluid. You have an ear infection. You need antibiotics." This was very frustrating news as I had already missed 2 days of work. I got on the antibiotics but didn't stop using Nasonex - I thought it could only help, right? Well here I am 5 days later, I have had the flu (viral infection is a side effect of Nasonex!), body aches, severe headaches that last all day, ear pain (probably not related, but here it is anyway), plugged ears, one nostril is still plugged, I have a crazy backache that won't go away even with a hot pad on it on high, and eyeball pressure. I stopped taking Nasonex yesterday (it's Friday) so hopefully these symptoms won't last all weekend. I've officially missed 5 days of work. :( Had I known about this website, m | Thanks, Nasonex! | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 3/14/2008 | 1 | sinus infections | Panic attacks, extreme mood swings, waking about every one to two hours at night. | There is one thing I did learn about nasonex if you do get nose bleeds. A doctor told me that if you use saline drops before using nasonex it will prevent this, and for me it did. However because of the rest of the side effects that I discovered here today I am not going to take this anymore. I am so glad I found this site today, I actually thought I was going out of my mind the last few days. | F | 58 | 4 months | 3/13/2008 |
