| 2 | Post-Nasal Drip | Nasonex did stop my post-nasal drip, but after about a week on it I began having MAJOR nosebleeds in my right nostril. | M | 30 | 7 days | 3/4/2008 | 1 | Allergies | I was prescribed this medicine last year to treat my allergies. A few months after taking Nasonex I started experiencing balance problems/dizziness, ear fullness, anxiety and mood swings. I have been to every doctor under the sun over the last several months trying to figure out what caused this, CAT scans, ENG test, computer glasses, wisdom teeth removed, TMJ, etc. I was diagnosed with a vestibular disorder a couple of months ago. On my own I stopped taking all vitamins, nasonex, etc. last month and I started to feel much better. Last night I took Nasonex and all of my symptoms returned. It was like a nightmare all over again. At least I finally now know what caused this. I plan on following up with my ENT and a GOOD LAWYER next week. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE! I would hate for anyone to have to go through what I have been going through the last several months. | M | 30 | 10 months | 3/1/2008 | 1 | Allergies, nasal congestion | For the last two months, I have been having rapid heart palpitations. It has scared me because heart disease runs in my family although I am a very healthy person. I even have an appointment next week to see about it. I realized last night that they started when I began using Nasonex. Thank God I ran across this website. I will never use this medicine again!! | I would never recommend this drug to anyone. It helped my sinuses; but the side effects were far worse. | F | 50 | | 2/28/2008 | 2 | allergies, sinus congestion | Metallic taste in my mouth, headaches, anxiety, moodines, insomnia. | This medication worked for the first few days, with a metallic taste in my mouth being the only side effect. In the next few weeks I had recurring headaches, anxiety/mood swings, and insomnia. I have stopped taking Nasonex and will wait to see if the side effects subside. | F | 30 | 4 weeks | 2/24/2008 | 5 | allergy-seasonal | I have had no side effects except weight gain. I don't know if it is related or not. I cut out a bunch of food to see if I was just eating too much, but I haven't lost any, I gained about 3 lbs in 2 weeks. I take one squirt in each nostril instead of the 2 they suggested. | This is the only medicine that has helped my allergies especially itchy eyes. I was also given Zyrtec and Singular, but I haven't had to take those as the nasonex worked so good. I have tried all the other brands, allegra, flonase, benydril, tavist etc. Nasonex by far has given me the best relief with a lot less reaction. | F | 48 | 2 days | 2/21/2008 | 2 | nasal allergies | Palpitations, irregular heart rhythm, chest pain | Good for nasal allergies, could finally smell again. BUT, the irregular heart rhythm is scary and shouldn't happen with allergy medication. | M | 33 | 2 months | 2/18/2008 | 1 | Inflammed sinus | Insomnia-sleeplessness, headache like an addiction one, constantly waking up, dry eyes, dry sinus, dizziness, constantly hungry, blurred vision, taste of blood in my upper mouth | I have stopped using it for 2days now and all of a sudden i am constantly yawning - so i guess thats a signal my sleep is coming back to me. | F | 24 | 21 days | 2/18/2008 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | None | Prescribed after sinus surgery. Works great. | F | 48 | 1 years | 2/17/2008 | 3 | allergies | constant colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia hyperactivity, especially at night | My daughter started taking Nasonex in July for severe allergies. She is allergic to just about everything environmental. The medicine greatly helped her runny nose due to allergies, however, she has had the worst winter ever. About every two weeks she comes down with another cold and since she also has asthma, the cold quickly turns into pneumonia or bronchitis. She has already been hospitalized once and we have been to the doctor so many times already since the New Year, I can't even count anymore. Nobody ever told me it could be due to the medicine. I think we are going to be stopping it for a while and see what happens. | F | 5 | 7 months | 2/16/2008 | 1 | sinus | eye pressure, chest pain, joint pain, quick heartbeat, couldn't sleep. | I've tried nasonex on and off for the past 2 years and I continue to have the same side effects...I will no longer attempt to use this medicine. | F | 30 | 2 times | 2/16/2008 | 3 | Sinus infection | I haven't slept more than 30-60 minutes at a time since starting Nasonex and Augmentin. Wasn't sure if either drug could lead to insomnia so I started looking around the web. Nasonex definitely works to dry out the sinus area and calm the post-nasal drip, but if I can't sleep, nothing is worth that. | I'm so glad I found this site or would never have known that Nasonex may have caused my sleeplessness. I plan to discontinue today and hope to sleep tonight! | F | 35 | 2 days | 2/15/2008 | 1 | post nasal drip | Hungry more often, coughing got worse (was given Nasonex to treat cough due to post nasal drip), today got really bad headache with very fast heart rate for no apparent reason, feel like I now have a sore throat and nostrils feel swollen. | If I'd known that this was a corticosteroid and had read the comments on this site earlier, I would never have tried it. This was a sample given to my doctor, why do doctors give these medications to their patients? Don't they know the side effects? This drug is primarily to treat allergies and runny nose, I had gone to my doctor because of severe coughing after having been sick from either the flu or a cold for 2 weeks. | F | 39 | 3 days | 2/15/2008 | 5 | Seasonal allergies - hayfever | Absolutely none! | Nasonex works better than anything I have ever tried. Just stops the sneezing, itchy watery eyes and general fatigue with allergies. I only have to take it in the spring. | F | 48 | 60 days | 2/14/2008 | 2 | allergies | although her nose cleared up beautifully, my three year old has been irrational and aggressive since beginning the medication...defiant to a ridiculous degree, tantrums, screaming...and then for no apparent reason, she is fine | the doctor did not tell us that the product is a steroid. the pharmacist did when i filled the prescription, but we had used the sample for two weeks before that...i did not see the correlation at first. no mood related side-effects are listed as the contraindicators ...perhaps an oversight? | F | 32 | 4 weeks | 2/12/2008 | 4 | nonstop runny nose | my daughter had a runny nose that was a full time job. Always wiping it. Was prescribed Nasonex and it has helped a lot. She has always been a horrible sleeper, wakes throughout the night so I took her off Nasonex to see if that was the problem, but she still woke up in the middle of the night. But once I took her off it, the extremely runny nose came back. Put her back on Nasonex. | F | 2 | 2 months | 2/9/2008 | 3 | post nasal drip | after 3 days developed very sore and tight upper bronchial tract. same problem last time I tried it. | good stuff but after reading other comments , not too sure if cure may be worse than problem. will stop use | M | 65 | 4 days | 2/6/2008 | 1 | chronic sinus | within one day of taking it I experienced extremely sore legs and thought I was having a heart attack, my heart started to beat faster and progressively got faster until it was fluttering, a few deep breaths finally settled it! I also take prednisone daily for another condition...could this be caused from an interaction... | M | 25 | 1 days | 2/5/2008 | 1 | Post Nasal Drip | Mild palpitations, pain in shoulder and neck and raised eye pressure. | I have been taking Nasonex for about 2 years and have just been advised by my optician that my eye pressure is higher than normal, which I have no doubt is related to this drug. I have stopped taking this medication and would NEVER recommend anyone to take it. | F | 40 | 2 years | 2/4/2008 | 1 | sinus problems | chest pain and heart palpatation. | Thank God for this site or I would have never known it was this drug that was causing these problems. | F | 24 | 10 days | 1/26/2008 | 3 | allergies | anxiety, tight chest, can't get to sleep | F | 37 | 9 days | 1/24/2008 |
