| 1 | inflammation when diving and flying | Full-blown anxiety attacks that brought me to my knees for hours on 3 separate days. My heart was beating out of my chest, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't walk, etc. Low-grade, constant anxiety the rest of the time. | I only used Nasonex for 10 days. For the first 4 days, I had no problems. On the 5th day, out of the blue, I was hit by an anxiety attack so bad I thought I was going to have to call 911. It lasted for several hours. The next day, same thing. I went to the Dr. this time. He did an EKG and complete blood work. I am totally healthy. So, he prescribed Xanax for the anxiety. I thought I was losing my mind. The Xanax did not help, by the way. Several days later, another attack, while I was driving down the highway. Somehow, miraculously, I ended up stopped on the shoulder. I have no idea how I got there. I have no recollection of actually driving across 3 lanes of traffic and parking on the shoulder. I read and re-read the literature included with Nasonex and it does not mention anxiety as a possible side-effect at all. Unbelievable! It wasn't until I googled Nasonex side effects that I found 100s of people reporting the same problems. I am furious. I have lost a week of my life, thought I | F | 43 | 10 days | 5/6/2007 | 2 | Fluid in the ears | Very aggressive and onery! She would not listen to anything I had to say. | Be prepared for your kiddo to change behavior. | F | 2 | 5 days | 5/5/2007 | 2 | sinus irritation, nasal congestion | After reading the side-effects I decided to let my son try this medication for 3 weeks as asked by his Ped. After 1-2 days he was irritable, not-listening, impulsive, and said his stomoach hurts. When he has to pee, the urge becomes immediate. He experienced all these same symptoms about 8 weeks ago, when he used it for 6 days, but I thought it was due to just being a three-year old but we stopped it then because his cold was better. | Thanks to you using this board, I noticed simialar symptoms with his same aged peers. These side effects are not listed on the information from Nasonex. | M | 3 | 2 weeks | 5/2/2007 | 4 | Allergic Rhinitis | Irritability, slight weight gain, occasional dry cough, dry/chapped mouth and lips | My experience has mostly been great, though I never followed dosage guidelines and instead stuck with a half-dosage from the get-go. I sailed through allergy season with zero problems -- first time in years! Of the symptoms I listed the chapped/raw feeling inside my lips/mouth is the worst, and curiously didn't start until week five... the sensation is similar to what happens to your lips when you've had way too much salt. I've been taking Nasonex for six weeks mostly free of side effects and will be stopping in two -- sooner if the lip/mouth thing doesn't go away. | F | 42 | 6 weeks | 5/1/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Twitching, dry mouth, dizziness, lack of appetite, | Glad I read this website. In just a few days of Nasonex I started having twitching in my left eye, dizziness, anxiety, lack of appetite, which is not a bad thing, but am going to stop taking this right now. | F | 51 | 4 days | 4/30/2007 | 3 | Allergies | Dizziness, flu like symptoms, boils appearing, headaches, loss of appetite and hearing loss. | I was wondering why I was feeling like this lately, glad I stumbled on this site. I have not had the flu in decades and suddenly I came down with the flu a few weeks ago. I also had a boil that went bad and more are appearing, not as big as the first one. The dizziness and tiredness feeling is awful. My hearing has been muffled lately as I have to yawn to hear well. I teach, so I have been not feeling happy with the kids lately. I took Nasonex last year and had no problem. So I am going to stop taking it and hope for the best. Thanks for those who took time to write, as it does help others like me know that I am not making up these symptoms. | M | 41 | 2 months | 4/29/2007 | 3 | Allergies, sinus, congestion | Extreme fatigue, dizziness, sore throat, nose bleed, trouble concentrating | Nasonex helped clear my sinus for sure but I have been feeling extremely tired, falling asleep everywhere which never happens. I have been feeling dizzy ever since I started taking that medecine and it makes me irritable and very impatient. I have a nose bleed almost once a day and I can't concentrate at work! | F | 29 | 7 days | 4/26/2007 | 2 | Sinus Membrane Thickening | Extremely dry eyes, dizziness, extreme fatique, nasal congestion, moderate heart palpitations, foggy brain, soar throat. | My doctor recommended this product because I've had previous sinus infections and an X-ray showed thick nasal membranes. After a week of use, I can barely keep by dry eyes open and going up a flight of stairs is difficult. My ashtma is acting up as well which is usually under control. My throat is very irritated, sinus are congested and I sound like I have a cold but I don't. | F | 31 | 7 days | 4/26/2007 | 2 | allergies | Severe bloody nose daily, increased post nasal drip, difficulty sleeping......all after only 3 weeks of treatment. | I had to stop taking nasonex as it was difficult to work, ect. The nurse at my Dr.'s office thought I was using the spray wrong, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't. | F | 33 | 3 weeks | 4/22/2007 | 1 | To reduce snoring and improve sleep | Developed allergy like symptoms; sneezing and stuffiness. I also became drowsy and developed a soar throat. I felt increasingly worse after each day of taking this drug. | Breathed better prior to using the prescription. Stopping the drug today. | F | 60 | 5 days | 4/20/2007 | 1 | allergies | I experienced lip swelling..heart palpatations,terrible insomnia,jittery,anxiety, twitching in arms or legs. | I'll never use nasonex again if my life depended on it. Im so glad I found this site to know other people have experienced these side effects. I told my pharmacist about the site and how others had the same reactions and he basically said its all in our heads. I hope it gets out of my system soon cause im still having these symptoms after not taking it for 4 or 5 days. Please share your exp. with me. | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 4/18/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Eye twitching, increased pressure in left eye, anxiety, pounding heart, dizziness, constant dripping nose, irritated eyes and throat, ringing in ears. | After reading all of these comments I am thankful that I believe I have found out what has been wrong with me!I just had an eye doc appointment yesterday to find out that I have increased pressure behind my left eye.Doing research on Glaucoma led me to the warning that long-term use of Nasonex can cause this disease.What a shock!I have suffered from panic attacks for years and my heart always seems to be pounding harder than it should.Could this be a cause?After reading everyone's side effects, I am convinced it is.I am weaning myself off.Thanks to the person who expressed caution in weaning off.I know that when I ran out of a bottle in the past, my headaches were terrible and am concerned about discontinuing. | F | 46 | 6 years | 4/17/2007 | 2 | Nasal Polyps | weight gain, irritability, rage, depression, pain behind left eye, gushing bloody noses. | I'm so upset because all of this is coming together for me after reading this web site. I have had these symptoms but haven't been able to put my finger on the feelings of helplessnes and depression. I thought it was because I mysteriously got fat. I've never had weight problems EVER. | M | 35 | 2 years | 4/12/2007 | 1 | allergies/nasal drip | extreme sleeplessness for weeks, ever since i started it | two nights off the meds -- both nights have slept well | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 4/12/2007 | 3 | allerghic rhinitis | Some bloody discharge, major (presumed) allergic reaction in the form of itchy hives. Unpleasant phantom smell--kept getting whiffs of nonexistent mildew/trash-like odor. | Medicine worked reasonably well to reduce allergic symptoms and open nasal passages, but itching started about a week into it. By week 6, I had hives and agonizing itching all over my upper body. I'm unwilling to trade one allergy for another, so I'll be seeking other options. | M | 21 | 6 weeks | 4/11/2007 | 3 | nasal stuffiness, sinus irritation | Bloody nasal discharge, occasional bouts of painful, raw feeling nasal area (perhaps because of bleeding?) These symptoms seem to occur more when there is a low-pressure weather system. | Tryingo to wean myself off of it a bit - only one squirt a day in each nostril instead of two... | F | 37 | 3 years | 4/10/2007 | 2 | my 4 yr-old- nasal congestion | extreme irritability, short-tempered, hyper, leg pain and earache | My son just turned 4 and was prescribed Nasonex for severe, ongoing nasal congestion. I couldn't figure out why he was being so difficult, especially since we had 4 days of one-on-one time together, which he would normally have been much better behaved for that. He was extremely volatile. It was the most challenging 4 days ever with my son - I was ready to go get a prescription of my own of a different sort to calm my nerves from it. Then it dawned on me that it was the same time he started taking the medicine a week ago that his behavior problems ramped up. None of these things were listed in the pamphlet of possible side effects, yet they seem to be prevalent from users in this posting. Thanks for the feedback everyone! | M | 4 | 7 days | 4/9/2007 | 3 | Stuffy nose, post nasal drip | I feel hungry all the time. I have also been experiencing anxiety and nervousness. My nerves are on edge and I am feeling out of sorts. Also have some dizziness and blurred vision and a mild headache. | The medicine has helped with my allergies, but the side effects are too bothersome to continue taking the medicine. I will stop it. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 4/6/2007 | 2 | Drug-free antihistimine | Burning nasal passage sensation, MASSIVE headaches (daily, mid-afternoon), developed cough, swollen / severely inflamed throat (pain when swallowing or coughing). | I suddenly developed allergies this year...great. I've taken everything from Alavert, Sudafed, Claritin, Flonase, Nasacort, and Nasonex. I was so tired of spending money on drugs that had minimal effectiveness with, what seemed to me, maximum adverse side-effects that I decided there HAD to be another way to combat seasonal allergies, effectively. NOTE: since I took myself off of all the allergy medications and nasal sprays (almost 2 weeks ago) and started doing the following, I have had no allergy symptoms, no trouble breathing, sleeping, or smelling. Here's what I do: buy Ginger root, cut off a 1-inch piece, peel and crush (don't puree), place crushed root in tea ball & steep in 8 oz hot water for 10 min's. Drink it. I do this once a day (everyday) after dinner about an hour before bed. I wake up in the morning, drink my coffee, blow my nose and I'm great the rest of the day. Absolutely NO SIDE EFFECTS! It might take a couple of cups / days before you notice a difference, | F | 37 | 1 weeks | 4/5/2007 | 2 | Allergies & severe nasal congestion | Headache, nausea, upset stomach, muscle aches, sleeplessness | I made a visit to the ENT doctor after several plaguing months of sinus congestion and no relief from over-the-counter meds. The doctor decided I must have developed some allergies as I have gotten older. She administered Nasonex in the office and gave me the sample to try. It has only been one day of use and I could not sleep at all last night, I developed a headache, my muscles started aching and I felt like I was going to be physically ill. I thought it was a mild case of the flu. I know it has been only one day but is it coincidence or not? I am very leary now and going to call the ENT doctor back for suggestions. | F | 38 | 1 days | 3/30/2007 |
