| 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 | 3 | constant runny nose | Our son, who is an "active" child had been doing very well at home and at school with his behavior. Since starting the medicine a week ago, he has been, to be honest, downright awful in terms of following directions and keeping his hands to himself. | We have noticed an improvement in his congestion; however, after reading other parents' comments about changes in behavior, we are stopping the use of this medicine. | M | 4 | 7 days | 3/12/2008 | 2 | Sinus Congestion | Moodiness, depression, anger, anxiety, strange dreams, headache, speediness. | Not worth the side effects. Getting off this stuff. | M | 44 | 7 days | 3/10/2008 | 1 | Sinus problems | After about 4 days of taking the medicine, I thought that I was coming down with the flu. Couldn't sleep at night, cough got worse and unusal moodiness. I have since stop taking and the symptom have started to subside about 4 days later | My mother takes Nasonex and she swears by it. I guess that it depends on your body chemistry. | M | 32 | 4 days | 3/9/2008 | 3 | Chronic Rhinitis | I have not determined whether Nasonex is responsible for the difficulty I have in getting a full nights sleep but I am suspect that it has some influence after reading similiar side effects. I work out, no caffeine, good diet, not over weight, no sleep apnea and not a great deal of stress but since I started taking it I sleep about 5 to 6 hours and feel tired during the day. I wish their was an alternative mediciene to control the headaches I get from eye and nose dryness and congestion due to food sensitivities and enviromental allergins. | Its a daily love hate relationship. | M | 54 | 5 years | 3/6/2008 | 3 | post nasal drip, blocked est. tubes | The nasal congestion is gone, post nasal drip less and estation tubes clear out. Seems to only last for a few hours. Experienceing tingling in left hand and foot, eye twiching, contstant up set stomachs, super fast heart beat. Pressure in the head and light headness. | I thought all the symtoms were from an infection left behind, but all the blood work comes out clean. Are all these happenings from this Nasonex? If I stop taking this how long till the side effects stop. Wow I may just give it a try. | F | 35 | 3 months | 3/5/2008 |
