| 2 | sinusitus | lots of ectopic{extra} heart beats-higher blood pressure | have stopped taking due to side effects/it did clear up my sinuses but side effects to bothersome | M | 65 | 2 months | 1/24/2008 | 1 | stuffy nose, sinus congestion | extremely violent diarrhea attacks and butthole burn | M | 7 days | 1/24/2008 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Palpitations, arrhythmias (PACs/PVCs), agitation, insomnia. All went away when I stopped using the drug and came back when I tried it again a couple weeks later. | Cleared up my congestion within minutes of first using. Didn't have the side effects until day 2. Had to stop due to side effects. Switched to a saline spray, which worked well w/o side effects. | M | 28 | 3 days | 1/22/2008 | 1 | Sinus | My 7 yr old son who is usually very laid back became angry and depresses. He also woke up several times saying it felt like he had a bubble stuck in his throat, was very disoriented and didn't seem to remember any of it. | M | 7 | 2 days | 1/21/2008 | 5 | swollen turbinates; mucus blocked | Upon each application, a few moments of watery drainage from sinus into throat, but that is the medicine itself. Otherwise, no side effects whatsoever other than the intended result: The swelling of the turbinates decreases drastically over extended time-period usage. This lessening of swelling permits partially dried, partially moist mucus to pass out the nose from the sinus cavities. Prior to one squirt of Nasonex into each nostril every day, mucus was building up in the sinus cavities. This was causing infections and bacterial growth. This was causing further swelling of the turbinates, which further blocked mucus evacuation. Previously a vicious cycle, but with Nasonex, the problem is completely solved without any unintended side effect. | Dec2004:had a severe nose bleed, deep within my sinuses. Huge blood clot never fully evacuated. Oct2005:could hardly breathe through my nose due to being 100% swollen shut in one nostril and majority swollen shut in the other nostril, alternating throughout the day. Rhinologist advised surgery to remove inflatable soft tissue on my turbinates, leaving only bare bone: stretch my nostrils; stick knives up my nostrils to cut & scrape away the inflatable soft tissue. CT scan showed the risks of not treating this immediately: major infection deep in the sinuses could cross-over into the ear canal or brain cavity. I learned about how the balloon-like turbinates act as a pair in opposition, first the left side inflates while the right side deflates then the right side inflates while the left side deflates, every several hours. By my own careful timing of Nasonex misting into each nostril when nostril passes some air. I got the medicine in there up high. Once every few hours, mon | M | 40 | 2 years | 1/20/2008 | 1 | inner ear fluid and pain | Numbness, tingling,of both hands and tingling of nose. My thumbs also hurt, I'm having difficulty opening packages. | I also received a steroid shot, at my appointment. I had never used a nasal spray before. No allergies or nasal issues. This was given to me for my ears. I took this product ones a day for about 5 days starting Dec.27 2007 about 2 weeks later i started having this problem. I am very concern. | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/19/2008 | 1 | Allergies and asthma | My son had allergies and was given the drug to treat his runny nose and sinus problems. He has been taking it for three years twice a day. While it seemed to work, he still got sick just as much if not more often. This past Friday, he was diagnosed with nasal polyps and he is only 6 years old which is extremely rare. I cannot seem to find anything related to this other than it is used to helpout with nasal polyps. However, my son is extrmely young to have this condition. | I am concerned this is not a drug for children and feel as if it could have contributed to the polyps. | M | 6 | 3 days | 1/19/2008 | 1 | sinus congestion | anxiety and depression. Complete panic attack. insomnia. i would take big breaths of air in through my mouth but felt that i wasn't getting oxygen. It took 4 hours before the effects subsided to a manageable level. | I thought i was losing my mind. Almost went to the ER. I have never had anxiety or depression before and hope to never experience it again. If i had not Googled "Nasonex", i would have thought i was crazy. I am only 34 and in great physical condition. I have never had a side effect with any drug before. Scary,i didnt think nose spray could cause a mental breakdown. | M | 34 | 1 days | 1/18/2008 | 1 | chronic colds and sinus infections | prescribed for 4 year old daughter - it did clear up her sinuses, but the side effects were too severe to continue it. | This was prescribed for my four year old daughter. It made her agressive, fly into fits of rage, have temper tantrums, hyperness, inability to sleep, she told me at night that her heart and her head were 'going in circles' and she couldn't calm down. | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/15/2008 | 2 | allergies | dizziness, light headed when standing | prescribed to myself first for allergies and took for a few days. Seems to work but quit taking after the dizziness spells. Also our pediatricia (not ENT) prescribed to 6 year old son, but read packaging notes and noticed it said could cause growth problems in children. Why a Dr. would prescribe this to a young child is beyond me. I don't think the Drs. are doing their due dilligence to read and learn about the affects of these medicines as many are beholden to the drug companies. Throwing the nasonex out today. Also, the ENT I see who is respected did prescribe Veramyst for my son and he has had relief with no symptoms. Another medical site said it was tolerated well in children. | M | 42 | 10 days | 1/13/2008 | 3 | Allergies | I've been taking this drug on and off for about 4 years. The first time I stopped taking it was when I got frequent nose bleeds. In the past 3 months or so I've gotten the smokey smell that others have mentioned. The doctor attributes this smell to a sinus infection and every time it has occurred taking antibiotics has cured it, but 2 weeks or so later it comes back. Having read that others have this problem I am going to mention it to my doctor and see if there is another medication that will work. | Overall it works well for keeping my nose clear, but the smokey smell and funny taste is not worth it for me. | M | 27 | 4 years | 1/9/2008 | 1 | Allergies | nausea, diarrhia, sleeplessness, chest cold | f | M | 2 months | 1/9/2008 | 3 | chronic rhinitis | Acute chest pain,sinuses feel"tight" | I moved onto Nasonex 3 weeks ago as I had just finished a 2 week course of Flixonase Nasule drops originally prescribed to combat my Rhinitis by an ENT consultant. After reading this forum I realise what a hit and miss strategy is used by the doctors and one mans' meat is another mans' poison | M | 66 | 3 weeks | 1/6/2008 | 5 | nasal polyps | sore throat, hoarsness, funny taste in mouth, many people here I see are saying about heart palpultations and other side affects, goodness you should try some of the Asthma meds and Steroid tablets to reduce polyps they are ten times worse. | fantastic, shrinks polyps in a few days, have suffered badly for many years until finding Nasonex, before Nasonex I was losing sleep due to breathing through mouth, could not talk to people due to fully blocked nose, loss of apetite before Nasonex, now I can eat food again, I had not sense of smell after 3 nasal polyp removal over the years, maybe I will smell food again who knows. | M | 49 | 3 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Severe Sinus HEadaches | Dry Mouth, Sensitive eyes and hungry all the time. Brief Diarria(sic) | After reading this site I might just throw it out but it seems to be working. The mucus drips definitly upset the stomach, Just finished my first sample and will start on the scrib and see what happens | M | 48 | 12 days | 1/5/2008 | 1 | chronic nasal drip from allergies | Nasal drip better but severe sore throat, tightness in chest, headache, sleeplessness worse every day. To the trash! | F | 48 | 3 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Sinus | Mild heart palpitations the first day of use. Upset stomach and cold sweats. I felt as though I wanted to vomit a few times, but never did. | While it did relieve pressure in my head, it caused other side effects as mentioned in my previous paragraph. I'll continue taking it until the pressure has subsided completely. | M | 25 | 2 days | 1/4/2008 | 1 | sinusitis | change of moods, aggressive outbursts, bad sleeping, heavy breathing, funny cracking sounds from breathing, depressions | M | 50 | 150 days | 1/3/2008 | 1 | sinus congestion/allergies | bloating of stomah...you may think that you are putting on weight,but honestly its just that you are bloated..if you stop taking the product it goes away.its caused lowered sex drive and weak erection.Does cause skin irritation...but you can take an anitihistamine with it to counteract this.lowered energy levels.Its also making me on edge..its like im ready for an argument...hard to control myself..not usually like that.however...the product is very effective at erradicating allergy type symptoms suck as blocked sinuses..sneezing..runny nose...sinus headache.it did not unblock my left ear..so eardrops would be needed for this.oh yea and it gives me acne...spots on my skin. | I would not use this product...but i don't have a choice...since using decongestants gives you that rebound effect when you stop using it..meaning your nose gets use to the decongestant..and gets blocked if you stop using the product...shouldn't use for more than 3 days max..very bad.allergy shots can take upto 6 months to have an effect at suppressing the allergic response to a substance.antihistamines don't stop my sinuses from geting blocked...god wot a dilemma. | M | 23 | 7 days | 1/2/2008 | 5 | Chronic Sinusitis | No side effects | Nasonex is a lifesaver. I was having chronic sinus infections. I could not work or go to school or function at all, and antihistimines didn't help. I am nearly completely allergy free with Nasonex. The only thing I worry about is that it will lose its effectiveness, so every few months I take a short break from it. Nasonex is not an anabolic steroid. That's not to say it couldn't have rare side effects for a minority of people, but it seems many people's imaginations have gotten the better of them. | M | 29 | 1 years | 12/21/2007 |
