| 4 | Allergic Rhinitis | jittery, weight gain, irritability | this stuff works - try it for yourself before believing any of the negative comments you may find here | M | 42 | 3 months | 3/29/2007 | 2 | allergies | bloody muscus, increased nasal drainage, tingling sensation in hands and feet | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 3/29/2007 | 2 | allergies | Heaviness/pressure in chest which made it difficult to breath, especially when exercising, racing heart which didn't start until after having taken it for a couple of weeks | It did seem to clear up nasal stuffiness, but at too big a price...Am relieved to see that others have experienced the same types of side effects while taking this drug. It can make you think something is seriously wrong | F | 45 | 1 months | 3/25/2007 | 1 | fluid in ears | My 2 year old son woke up in the middle of the night screaming of pain in his ears after only 2 doses. Doctor did not think it was the Nasonex and wanted me to continue the medication. I refused and he has not had any pain in his ears since coming off the medication. Use with caution on children! | M | 2 | 2 days | 3/23/2007 | 1 | Allergies | At first I loved the Nasonex. I was finally able to breathe. After about 3 weeks of use I started getting POUNDING headaches, a sore throat, and VERY irritable. I will never use again and will warn people about it! | WHY do we take things that our doctors get paid for prescribing? The next time my doctor prescribes something to me I will do my research and find out all the side effects before using! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme irritability, sore throat, POUNDING headaches, dry sinuses, no sleep | This will be the last time I take a prescription that my doctor gets paid for prescribing without knowing in full ALL of the symptoms. I'm still experiencing the side effects and haven't taken Nasonex in three days now! | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/21/2007 | 5 | hay fever symptoms | shockingly sore throat one time after years of happy, seasonal use | After I got the sore throat that one time, I asked my Dr. He said I should lean forward and keep the Nasonex in the first part of my nose, even if some drips out again, as that's where it's needed and I shouldn't let it drop down into my throat. Doing that has avoided the throat so now I can just enjoy the benefits. It's a life saver in hay fever season. | F | 51 | 3 years | 3/17/2007 | 4 | ear infection and sinus | Only a dry nose and possibly nose membranes bleeding a little | I feel that this really helped me along with the antibiotic Omnicef. The bacteria settled in my ear and nasonex helped to get to the ear. | F | 65 | 7 days | 3/16/2007 | 5 | sinusitis | Lately, I've been plagued by a mysterious persistent burning wood or smoky smell. It causes a tightening or heaviness in the chest and occasional coughing. I'm wondering if these can be side effects. Has anyone else had a similar experience? | The medication cured my sinusitis completely. I expect the pressure in my ears to eventually go away. | F | 49 | 4 months | 3/11/2007 | 2 | Stuffy nose&Ear Pain(allergies) | bad insomnia, anxiety, shaky wierd feeling in muscles (esp when i flex them), loss of taste, very dry nasal passage, nose bleeding, little bit of a soar throat, loss of appetite, high blood pressure and heart feels like its beating a little harder and faster than usual | I took Nasonex for the first time last night. Reluctantly, I couldn't fall asleep so I'm still up from yesterday (its noon now and i used it @ 10pm). I can't figure out if this is better or worse.....but I'm not even tired. My muscles feel wierd, especially when i flex they get a little shakey feeling and kind of achey (it's hard to describe). I also can't taste anything and my nose is really dry (but sinuses are still stuffed up so i have a lot of pressure) and bled earlier and my throat hurtsa little. I dont know how long it's going to last but i want it out of my system... It did clear up my nasal passage, but the experience was awful. IMO - It's effects are not worth the side effects. I've found stuff that works better AND has less/no side effects. NO THANKS! Im definitely going to pass next time. Actually, this bottle's getting trashed............................ | F | 22 | 2 days | 3/5/2007 | 1 | to keep ear passages free | I don't know if anyone else had this experience, but I actually lost the central vision in my left eye after taking Nasonex for 1 month.I had day surgery to remove my adnoids after experiencing 2 years of ear touble in my left ear. The ENT doctor put me on Nasonex to help keep my ear canal passages free . And then one day I noticed I couldn't really see well out of my left eye, I have agood freind that is an optometrist and he saw me right away. He sent me to a retnal specialist, who diagnosed me with central vision loss due to taking Nasonex, I was told to immediatly stop taking Nasonex. My ENT doctor had never heard of such a thing and had the specialist send him info on this. He thought the fluid that built up behind my left eye would probably absorb back into the body and go away on its own. But, I have had 3 appointments so far with the retnal specialist and it has not gotten any better, no worse, no better. I go again in 5 weeks and if it is not better he will do laser surgery. | M | 47 | 30 days | 3/2/2007 | 5 | Allergies | I came to this site to find if others have experienced a great side effect of Nasonex -- decrease in number of colds. I had eight colds last winter (no nasonex). This summer, my doctor prescribed nasonex and I have been taking it ever since. This winter, I haven't had a single cold. This is like a miracle for me! I haven't caught my boyfriend's colds or my office mates' colds. The only thing different in my life is nasonex. I don't know why this side effect is so opposite than the others' here who think it has weakened their immune system. Also my sense of smell has IMPROVED on Nasonex. I have been feeling a little dizzy at times, not enough to bother me but it is good to know that others feel this too. I did get a couple nose bleeds at first, but this went away. | I try to only take it once a day, instead of twice a day as prescribed. | F | 30 | 280 days | 2/28/2007 | 2 | sinusitis | Fatigue,diziness,and a feeling that I was far away, increased pressure in my head and temperature spiking then shivering. | Stopped taking on holiday as it was cold and I thought that wasn't helping but symptoms reappeared as soon as I started it again! I could thus work out what was the cause, this site helped | F | 41 | 14 days | 2/13/2007 | 1 | sinus pain, drip, persistent stuffe | Second day nosebleed that would not stop. After six hours, had bleeding area cauterized. What a shame! $65.00 for three shots. | There shoulld be physician samples before such a waste of money. | M | 83 | 2 days | 2/11/2007 | 3 | Allergic rhinitis | Occasional nosebleeds, smell problems, stinging in nose and eyes, increased irritibility, facial acne, water retention | I'm taking a cocktail of allergy and asthma medications, so side effects could be from one or a combination: Zyrtec, Singular, Flovent, albuterol. I've been experiencing unpleasant "phantom" smells. I randomly get strong whiffs of cigarette smoke or burning chemicals for no apparent reason. I was convinced someone was smoking in my office - but it was just my nose. Sometimes it smells like dish detergent is boiling on the stove. Other familiar smells are still the same, but it seems like my brain is registering smells that just aren't there. | F | 35 | 6 months | 2/9/2007 | 2 | Sinus pressure, post nasal drip. | Jittery hours after I take it (2 sprays in each nostril). At the begining felt heart thumping hard, anxious, tingling in scalp, feeling on edge, dry eyes, sporadic bloody mucus. Was supposed to take it before bedtime but it made me wide awake with shivers running down my body, cold sweat and feeling of a panic attack comming on. So I take it in the morning to ease the effects. | I don't think it did much. I t sort of eased my post nasal drip, but otherwise than that nothing. I read the official side effects for it and they don't list half the stuff that happens with this med. This is the only med that I am taking at the moment. | M | 26 | 3 weeks | 2/8/2007 | 1 | asthma | frequent nose bleeds, dizziness and total loss of smell and taste | doctor suggested going to a single dose each day but i have now completely stopped taking nasonex as of one week ago but still no sense of smell | M | 56 | 4 months | 2/3/2007 | 1 | allergies/asthma | I was on it for about a month. Got extremely jittery and anxious, like I was on Prednisone. Severe insomnia and tingling of arms and legs. The insomnia and axiety hampered my recovery from a mild concussion/vertigo since I got less rest than I needed. | I called the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist who prescribed it and he denied that the steroid is absorbed by the blood stream! The pharmacist also said that I could take Nasonex with Singulair but that was a disaster for me --waves of anxiety and adrenaline. Am much relieved that others have had this experience and that I am not just "stressed out." It took me some time to realize that the anxiety is the result of the med's and not my head injury, general anxiety disorder (as my internist would have me believe) or the vertigo. I have made great strides in my recovery since I went off the med's. | F | 48 | 32 days | 1/28/2007 | 3 | post nasal polyp removal | Headaches and nose bleeds - but I was having them before the surgery due to the polyp, so this may not actually have been a side effect. | My ENT consultant (who did the surgery) has told me I should use nasonex permanently to try and prevent the polyps returning. Whilst I don't seem to have any current side effects I'm concerned about the long term use of a steroid. If you have nasal polyps I would recommend the use of douches using water and a little salt everyday to help clear your nose and sinuses. This seems more effective to me than the nasonex. | F | 25 | 2 years | 1/25/2007 | 2 | allergies | My 5 year old son took it for allergies -which it helped, but each time he's used it he has had the worst ear infections. I just stopped using after his lat | M | 5 | 6 months | 1/23/2007 |
