| 1 | nasal allergies | Constant anxiety. I had a panic attack at my daughters school that put me on my knees. I couldn't move for 20 minutes because my muscles and legs were so weak. My heart was going jump out of my chest. I thought I was going to die. I also have constant pressure in my head and dizziness. | I will never take this medication again. I thought I was going crazy. I have never felt worse in my life. I even went to my doctor and asked what would cause this. I had an EKG done as well as blood work only to find out that I am in perfect health yet I felt like I was going nuts. He said the nasonex should not be causing this but after reading all of these comments I have stopped using Nasonex. I want my life back and not have to worry about having a panic/anxiety attack again. Thank you to all of you for your comments. You saved my life. | M | 35 | 3 months | 11/8/2007 | 1 | environmental allergies | Insomnia, tightness in chest, stomach ache, heart palpitations, uncontrolled emotional outbursts, dizziness, rage, depression, decrease in appetite, sore throat, POUNDING headache that absolutely will not go away that is akin to cluster-migraines, eyes sometimes felt like they had glass in them, panic attacks, photosensitivity, disorientation, CRUSHING sinus headache after a single blast in each nostril, pressure in eyes and ears, ear pain, excessive darkness under eyes, flu-like stomach pain, difficulty concentrating, sinuses so dry BETWEEN sprays that they hurt, EXTREME sensitivity to weather changes, temporary (hopefully) partial vision loss, normally very warm but this seems to make me cold all the time, high blood pressure, blood in nasal secretions, fatigue, forgetfulness, fever blisters, nervousness, feeling like I was having a nervous breakdown, suicidal tendencies, stiffness in neck, bad taste in mouth that even brushing, flossing and hydrating w/ oral rinse doesn't decrease. | Initially given to me about 3 years ago for allergies, but every time I was on it I ended up w/ a severe sinus infection. Began taking it again 8 days ago for allergies and seemed to have ALL of the side effects in the last 8 days. Have NEVER had reactions to medications in my life so I was totally clueless about all this until I searched for "nasonex side effects" on Google. Have thrown out all 3 sprayers I have and will NEVER take this medication again! | M | 41 | 8 days | 11/6/2007 | 3 | allergic rhinitis/ nasal congestion | Severe chest pain and arrythmias developed after using NASONEX for 7.4 weeks. Stopped use after ER visit, and side effect symptoms continued for 3 weeks and still exists today after discontinuing use. | This drug works great for nasal allergy symptoms, but I think that consumers are NOT BEING TOLD REAL LABORATORY FINDINGS about what this drug will do to you if taken frequently or long term. | F | 30 | 2 months | 11/4/2007 | 3 | allergies | Deppresion, Angsity,insomnia and nose bleeds | It definitly worked, but the side effects were horrible. | F | 12 | 2 weeks | 11/2/2007 | 1 | dust exposure | IT MADE MY DICK GO LIMP! My mucus bloody and the muscles in my left arm and back of my nose are both sore as the dickens. I have not had a steroid trash me like this since an unfortunate incident w/prednisone 20 yrs ago...bad news for me...weaning starts today! | Dr thinks my condition an adult on set allergy brought on by dust exposure...prescribed w/Claritin <--this stuff is something else as well...Nasonex & Claritin = a cure worse than the disease. | M | 51 | 7 days | 11/2/2007 | 4 | nasal allergies | Sleeplessness which I solved easily by taking the medication in the morning. | You people who think this medication causes 'roid rage are so off-base, it's laughable. You hear steroids and think they're all the same. The kind of steroids that are responsible for 'roid rage are called anabolic steroids. This is a corticosteroid. They are entirely different. Nasonex is a safe drug. It can cause sleeplessness so if it does so, take it in the morning. It works well. The power of suggestion is an incredible thing. | F | | 11/1/2007 | 1 | acute sinusitis and ear pain | After just two days, I felt agitated and had trouble sleeping. Plus now the discharge from my nose is bloody, and my throat feels more sore than before. | The doctor prescribed Nasonex to help the inflammation in my eustachian tubes. My ears still feel "clogged," only now I have additional misery from side effects! I just called my doctor's office and told them I don't wish to continue taking this drug. | F | 52 | 3 days | 10/31/2007 | 1 | allergy congestion | Irritable, depression, fatigue, insomnia, queasy stomach, light headed, jittery, and weak. | I thought I was coming down with something. It took me two times using it before I figured out it might be the Nasonex. Being active, it is unlike me to not want to eat. I used it once a day at bed time. Seem to feel worse as the next day went on. I will see how I feel tomorrow, after not taking it tonight. Better I hope. | F | 53 | 2 days | 10/28/2007 | 2 | allergies | intense headaches even when not taking it. Cant see out of one eye looks like when you look at a camera flash. Only goes away if i take a tylenol and take a nap. | dont like it threw it away | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/26/2007 | 1 | Nasal congestion | My 3 year old daughter was crying uncontrolably; said she "couldn't breathe"; kept grabing her chest; would stare off into space and repeat the same word 50 times; acted violent towards her dolls - ALL symptoms completely disappeared after NASONEX was stopped | Pediatrician recommended "parenting classes" when I mentioned the symptoms; allergist swore NASONEX could not produce these symptoms ... I went with my gut instinct, pulled the meds after reading some of the comments on this website and within 12 hours, I was able to see a difference, within 48 hours, my little girl was back to her normal self. PARENTS LEARN FROM THIS - RESEARCH THESE DRUGS BEFORE GIVING TO YOUR CHILDREN! | F | 3 | 14 days | 10/26/2007 | 4 | Seasonal allergies | I have had a nose bleed on two occasions, as well as occassional loss of taste and smell. However, I can't directly attribute those to the Nasonex. | My doctor prescribed Nasonex, along with Stahist, for my seasonal allergies. Within 24 hours of starting to use it I could breath thru my nose and some of the "gunk" in my sinuses started clearing out. I've been taking it for a month and haven't had any ill side affects like others have described. I can say it's worked better than anything else my doctor has ever prescribed. | F | 37 | 1 months | 10/24/2007 | 1 | inflamed nasal passage/clogged | annoying cough & runny nose. | F | 37 | 4 days | 10/23/2007 | 1 | allergies | mood swings, anxiety | F | 7 | 60 days | 10/18/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Sore throat, shortness of breath (more than normal from my BP medicine), one or two bouts of palpitations, trouble sleeping. Until reading comments on this site, I didn't realize all of the above could be attributed to this drug and which are recent developments. | Worked great for two weeks. Woke up one morning with a sore throat. Forgot to take it the next night and sore throat was gone. Started up (took one more time)and had a headache and sore throat. Bye bye Nasonex! | M | 65 | 21 days | 10/17/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme pain in nose/nostrils, so much so that I can't talk without taking painkillers because any movement of my nose is excruciatingly painful. Been painful for over a week, despite stopping the Nasonex completely. | For the first month, this spray was great; I didn't ever sneeze, no nasal burning, I was an allergy-free person for the first time in years! Then out of the blue my nose became completely swollen and painful and itchy - but because it was too sore to touch, I couldn't do anything about it. Stopped using the spray, but over a week later, I am still on painkillers almost all day; if not, my nose is screaming in pain, and causing my head to hurt intensely behind the eyes, like a sinus headache. My doctor recommends waiting a few more days to see if it subsides (!) but I am not going to start using Nasonex again, even when the pain is over. | F | 26 | 39 days | 10/13/2007 | 2 | Sinusitis | Insomnia, tightness in chest, stomach ache | First time on it and last. I am wired at 3:30 in the morning. I've got a 5 month old and 2 and a half year old, so that doesn't happen. Decided to check out side effects thinking this may be the problem. I'd say so. | F | 37 | 1 times | 10/9/2007 | 1 | Sinus infection | I have been having heart palpitations, and my heart beats rapidly and very hard. Also, there has been a heaviness in my head, and I've noticed that my blood pressure has been high for the past few days. I'm afraid to continue my usage. | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 10/9/2007 | 3 | Nasal Allergies | My 9 year old daughter has been taking this medicine for a little over a week and is complaining today about butterflies in her chest and she is also emotional and dizzy. After reading all of these similar side effects I will not be giving her this any more. | F | 44 | 12 days | 10/3/2007 | 1 | allergies, sinus issues | Frightening!!!! Agitation, insomnia, progressed to RAGE, pounding heart, unable to concentrate, very lightheaded and dizzy, inside of nose felt raw like it had opened a wound. Felt so negative and depressed I wanted to die. | It did help reduce the swelling in my nose, but the cost in side effects was devastating. Why don't they mention the 'roid rage in their literature? Why don't they make a smaller dose?...like a Pediatric dose? This "one size fits all" is nonsense. I would be willing to try about 1/4 the "normal" lowest dose. They could sell a lot more if they metered it in smaller doses so people had options. I tried alterating using it every other day, it still packs a hell of a punch. | F | 51 | 2 days | 10/2/2007 | 5 | allergies | This is great stuff. | F | 55 | 5 years | 9/30/2007 |
