| 4 | seasonal sinus infections | Had been working great, then I needed to refill the prescription now my chest hurts, burning. I have read some of the comments and I am now going to stop using it. How long does it usually take for those awful symptoms to go away? | F | 56 | 8 months | 12/21/2007 | 4 | Mucus draining down back of throat | Did't know if related or not. Thirstier than before and lots hungrier. Of course, eating more has led to weight gain that I was already fighting. My migraines have increased somewhat. | The Nasonex has decreased the constant drainage down the back of my throat. I was ALWAYS swallowing. It would make me cough, too. Wake me up at night coughing. Now I'm not sure what to do. Keep going or quit! | F | 62 | 1 months | 12/20/2007 | 1 | Severly swollen nasal passages | jittery, felt as if I were being driven by a motor one minute and tired and weak the next. Felt sick allover, very nervous, anxious and agitated. Fast heart rate and cough. Insomnia, and a disgusting metallic taste that I couldn't get out of my mouth. | This drug is absolutely poision..I will never use it again. The pharmacy acted like well that is unusual for nasonex but I guess it could happen just stop taking it. So none for me today or ever again I threw it away, I wonder how long it takes for this stuff to leave your system. Soon I hope! | F | 32 | 5 days | 12/20/2007 | 1 | sinus problems | ANXIETY! I also could not sleep no matter how tired I was. I am so glad I found this site because I thought I was losing my mind. To top it off it did NOTHING for my sinuses. | F | 55 | 7 days | 12/19/2007 | 3 | Sinus infection | Jittery, light headed, tightness in chest, hungry all the time. overly irritable. | Stopped using it. | M | 32 | 5 days | 12/17/2007 | 2 | enlarged adenoids, runny nose | My son began stuttering about 10 days after he started taking this med. Has anyone else experienced this? | M | 5 | 14 days | 12/17/2007 | 1 | son's post nasal drip | 9 year old son took drug at night, next day came home from school complaining he couldn't swallow. Woke up several times in the middle of the night very disoriented and somewhat irrational. Also seems to be producing more mucous. After reading other entries, I am throwing medicine in the garbage. If I only had read this website first, I would never have started him using spray!!! | F | 45 | 2 days | 12/12/2007 | 1 | nasal congestion, asthma | extreme anxiety, agression, flushed face, pounding heart with iregular heartbeats, thrashing arms and legs, holding head and crying, unable to sleep or be calmned down - episode lasted 3 hours | My 4 1/2 yr old grandson who is usually good natured, sweet and easily distracted from any bad behaviour scared me to death within 2 hours of 1 spray in each nostril. Parents report some similar agression but had not linked it to Nasonex dosing. Thank you for this website, I was certain his behaviour was due to this drug, pounding and irregular heartbeats do not come from being over-tired. | F | 56 | 6 months | 12/5/2007 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | none so far, but i have been to 3 doctors about my chronic allergies and this is the only thing that has worked | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 12/4/2007 | 3 | NASONEX | I was prescribed this as I was suffering from buzzing noise in my ears day and night and Dr though it would help equalise the pressure in my ears. I started to use this and it did stop the buzzing but the main symptom i exoerienced was my left eye twitched. All in all it worked for me but I only took it for a week | F | 39 | 7 days | 12/4/2007 | 3 | chronic sinus allergies | Caused a shingles outbreak on my face resulting in some nerve damage to my eye/distorted vision). Did suppress the nasal allergy response however. | I would recommend getting a shingles/chickenpox vaccine prior to taking this medication. | M | 34 | 6 weeks | 11/27/2007 | 3 | Congestion/Nasally Voice | My six year old son's pediatrician prescribed this for a nasally voice and congestion related to the seasonal allergy. He has been taking it for about two weeks now and he has had no side effects for ear infections, headache, sleeplessness, or stomach ache. However, he does seem to be more irritable and disagreeable since starting to take it. This orneriness seems to heighten at evening-time before he gets his dose although he gets argumentative throughout the day now. Not sure if his current disposition is related, but thought it was worth adding this note since he is usually pretty agreeable and laid-back. My son still talks nasally which could just be habit now, but he is not congested at night now. This is a big relief since he has been congested since he was a baby. We'll continue for the few weeks the doc suggested and go from there. | The pediatrician said that the nasal spray does not enter into the blood stream like other steroids do. However, I don't understand how it can't to some degree since it goes into the tissues of the nose. I guess I would look further into it if my son had the more severe side effects like some here I have read about or if he would need to take it all the time. | M | 6 | 14 days | 11/27/2007 | 2 | allergies all year round | Severe heart palpitation (had to go through heart test but they did'nt find anything), chest pain = feel like someone is sitting on my chest, short of breath. Cleared the nose though. Did'nt realise all my symptom came from this medicine before I found this website. Thought I had heart problems. Really scary! | F | 26 | 1 years | 11/27/2007 | 1 | Ear conjestion | Severe breathing restriction & hives. Shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling. | This medication did not work with me. I have never had an allergic reation to a medication & I have taken other steriods before, like prednizone, but I really thought this stuff was going to kill me. I couldn't breathe for 2 days over Thanksgiving holidays. I almost went to the ER. My BP went up to 168/116. I only took this for 3 days & I have had the effects of the reaction for the last 5 days. | M | 38 | 3 days | 11/26/2007 | 1 | rhinitis | heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, general sleeplessness, inability to fall back to sleep at night, reduced libido | I used to sleep like a baby .. anywhere .. anytime. My symptoms have built up slowly over time. I have been taking it for about 8 months. After having read the reviews on this site, I am going to stop taking it immediately and hope that these symptoms go away soon. | M | 43 | 8 months | 11/25/2007 | 3 | congestion | At first it worked great. He could breathe at night and slept better. After about a month and a half, my son started getting nose bleeds. We were told by our allergist to make sure we sprayed the Nasonex toward the outside of his nose which we do. We also spray his nose with saline spray to counteract the nose bleeds which seems to help. He only uses it once a day at night. After two months of use, he now complains of a sore throat and increased hunger. This past weekend he had to blow his nose all the time. He couldn't clear his nose and carried a tissue constantly. | We plan to keep an eye on his symptoms and take him off Nasonex if they continue. | M | 9 | 60 days | 11/20/2007 | 1 | roid rage symptoms | the steroids in Nasonex are called corticosteroids, and they can cause "roid rage" type side effects, such as aggression, depression, mania, violent reactions, and even psychosis. Do a google search on "steroid psychosis" or sidefxdrugs and you will see the side effects corticosteroids can cause. | M | | 11/14/2007 | 3 | sinusitus | heart palpitations, irritability, tightness in chest, trouble sleeping | This drug works wonders on nasal passages but the side effects sneak up on you. I am a very athletic healthy male and I suddenly developed PVCs. In 3 years my doctor has not been able to determine the cause (nor have I) as I was taking the drug occasionally. Recently I stopped using Nasonex after using it for several months and suddenly I am at ease. Heart is fine. | M | 36 | 3 years | 11/13/2007 | 1 | Sinus infection/congested/ear fluid | My pediatrician recommended my almost 3 yr old daughter try Nasonex to help break up her congestion. After I gave it to her, she became like a different person. Extremely hyper, unable to focus and listen to our directions, rough with her pets, panicky at bedtime, unable to go to sleep... very unusual for her! In the middle of the night I realized this wasthe first time she had taken Nasonex. I looked at the side effects in the packaging and none were listed like this. Then I found this site, and I can't believe how often this happens to young children. Very scary indeed! | F | 3 | 1 days | 11/13/2007 | 5 | Allergies | Severe migraine-type headache | Nasonex definitely solved my allergy symptoms immediately. I was constantly sneezing because I am terribly allergic to ragweed pollen. I take Claritin and do allergy shots, but those weren't even working anymore so my dr. prescribed Nasonex. After the allergy symptoms disappeared, I continued to use it since ragweed was still high. After a few weeks, I began having a severe migraine-like headache which causes nausea and sensitivity to light and is not lessened with Tylenol, Alieve or Motrin. I stopped using the product a couple days ago since my allgergies are better and I'm pretty sure it caused this headache. I would use this product again, only I would only use it for a few days at a time, or only as symptoms come up. FYI... Flonase is MUCH worse about giving migraine headaches than Nasonex. | F | 36 | 1 months | 11/11/2007 |
