| 1 | allergies | Heart palpitations, fluttering, skipped beats | I have used Nasonex on and off for 3 years with never a problem. I don't take any other medication. This time, I noticed heart palpitations for 5 or six hours every time I use it. If I don't use it, they go away. I am going to mention this to my ENT and will discontinue use. | F | 49 | 21 days | 11/27/2006 | 1 | environmental allergies | Hives after only 4 days of use. Used a total of 6 days. Will discontinue use starting tommorow. This is bad news!!! | This stuff did work. My nasal passages were clear. But will seek other treatment | M | 53 | 6 days | 11/27/2006 | 2 | Constant congestion | Decreased sex drive. Tired feeling. | I used to take Flonase, but noticed that after taking it, my sex drive had decreased, and I had a very tired feeling, so I switched to Nasonex. Same results, just not as bad. Nasonex never cured my congestion, it only gave me more problems. | M | 38 | 1 years | 11/12/2006 | 4 | allergies | none known | M | 45 | 2 weeks | 11/7/2006 | 5 | Sinus headaches | No side effects | I had sinus headaches and a feeling of fullness in my head for 2 months. Even with medications, I never went more than a few hours without a headache or a feeling that my head was very heavy.I took allegra,claritin,benadryl and other similar drugs, but they only temporarily helped me. Within just a few hours after taking Nasonex, my headaches went away. It has now been over 3 days (knock on wood) since I have had a sinus headache. | M | 58 | 3 days | 10/26/2006 | 3 | nasal congestion,post nasal drip | dizzyness, lightheaded, that lead to an early morning trip to the emergancy room for vertigo,,,never want to experience that again....ALL blood tests came back normal....still experiencing light headiness and feel like I am going to go into another whirl,,,had one more slight one since...slight heart palpitations, very occasional...and a slight sore throat,,,now that I have read others are experiencing the same things,,I know it's not all in my head,,, | This medicine helped with my congestion but caused too many side affects...would have been a tragic event if I had experienced the vertigo while driving..couldn't have maintained control of vehicle.I had to have my neighbor take me in,,,it took 4hrs before I was able to leave....I thought for sure it was something other then the Nasonex because the ENT Dr that prescribed it for me,,told me there were no side affects and that it was not absorbed into the body....DUH!!! This drug has cost me a visit to the ENT Specialist and the emergency room !!!All on my own dime since I have no medical coverage... What a shame to be so mislead,,and unfortunely for the public,,,the doctors buy into the hype of the safety of this drug,,,it truly is not so....I will try a hoemeopathic course of treatment...and discontinue use now that I see what it can do.. | F | 52 | 3 weeks | 10/26/2006 | 3 | Excess of Mucus in 2 Upper Pharynx | Fatigue, depression, lightheaded/dizziness | Worked great for about the first year and a half until I began to notice that that my excessive mucus came back. After taking it on and off for the last six months I finally decided to try and taper it off. However I now feel very weak, dizzy, nausea, and tired (fatigue). It has also been difficult for me to fight off bacterial infections. I am not sure that these symptoms are directly related to the absence of the drug, but beware when trying to get off of it (talk to your doctor first, I didn't). | M | 20 | 2 years | 10/23/2006 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Rash, armpit and groin area lesions with a smelly discharge, irritability, shortness of breath, nasal irritation, nose bleeds and problems with urination. | I had no idea what was causing my adverse reactions or my skin lesions and had to visit a doctor who placed me on steroids and a salve to clear them up. I had been using samples of Nasonex provided me by my physician. I ran out of the sample a couple of weeks before I got a prescription for the Nasonex. During that time my lesions were totally gone. As soon as I started back on the Nasonex the lesions returned and I finally made the connection and stopped using the Nasonex entirely. I would not recommend this product to anyone for any reason. My family physician unfortunately is one who worships at the altar of pharmaceutical companies and is very hesitant to believe that anyone has any ill effects from any drugs he prescribes. | F | 65 | 2 months | 10/16/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symptoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 | 1 | Congestion in inner ear | Anxiety, severe muscle aches (fainted), back pain, twitching, weakened immune system, stomach aches | Several Doctors said the steroid was too mild to cause the symptoms I was experiencing but all of the symptoms have gone away since I stopped taking the medication. Took a few weeks after I stopped taking Nasonex for the symtoms to subside - had developed a twitch in my eyelid that has finally stopped - but I am very thankful to have my life back. | M | 35 | 3 months | 10/6/2006 | 3 | allergic rhinitis | Loss of smell. Water retention after approximately 1 month of use. Under normal conditions I have an oily skin and from time to time I suffer from acne. After using Nasonex for more than one month I started to notice my skin becoming much more oily and my acné increased seriously. | I have been using nasonex for several years now and it seems to work. After a few weeks of usage my nose congestions almost dissapear. Mostly I did not use it longer than one month at a time. After approximately one month the side effects I described would become too serious for me to continue usage. After a while my nose problem returns and I am forced back to using Nasonex. | M | 27 | 3 years | 10/4/2006 | 2 | Allergies | I've only been taking this drug for a little over a month and I had no side effects until this morning when I woke up with very bloody mucus and blood in the nose. | Most nasal sprays that I have tried have not done anything much to improve my allergies and this one hasn't done a great deal either. I still breath through my mouth at night and until taking this drug, I have never had a major nose bleed. I am going to discontinue using it! | F | 22 | 1 months | 10/4/2006 | 5 | Allergies | None | Nasonex worked when almost nothing else did. Ive tried Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec...none of them worked at all like Nasonex. Best. Prescription. Eva. | M | 24 | 1.5 years | 10/3/2006 | 3 | Allergies, serious nasal congestion | I really liked Nasonex until a couple of weeks ago. Right now it is Ragweed season and Nasonex really failed me. I had to start taking Sudafed every 12 hours due to such extreme congestion if I had not done this I would have developed a sinus infection. I've been so congested that without Sudafed I never would have been able to inhale the Nasonex. The tip of the bottle wouldn't even go into my nostril due to all the inflammation. Nasonex costs too much money not to work better! | F | 37 | 6 months | 9/25/2006 | 3 | allergy | After 3 or 4 days sinus discomfort then after about a week pain behind the eyes. It hurt to move my eyes and had a headache most of the time. Heaven forbid should I add a decongestant, thought my head would explode! | F | 39 | 3 months | 8/25/2006 | 5 | my son does | my son doesn't seem to have any side effects | My son is almost 5 years old. He started Zrytec and Nasonex when he was 3. His allergies are finally under control. He hasn't had an ear infection in over a year (which could also be because he is just older). He suffered from at least 30 ear-infections and always, always had a runny nose. He had tubes put in his ears twice. You don't even know he has allergies now. The medicine made the difference. He is a totally different kid. | M | 4 | 1.5 years | 8/21/2006 | 1 | sinus irritation and headaches. | At first none, but after reading other people's comments I can't help but wonder if Nasonex CAUSED a viral induced case of Bell's palsy that I am recovering from. The doctor said the virus that caused this is the shingles virus. I have not and will not continue Nasonex for any reason. My face is still partially parylyzed. Be forewarned. | M | 56 | 90 days | 8/11/2006 | 4 | Sinusitus | Large cyst on my right kidney. Irritability. Decreased sex drive. | It does a great job clearing my sinus. I've developed a large cyst on my right kidney - discovered by accident. Dr. says I'm too young for such a large cyst. It does not appear to be cancer according to CT scan. More testing is needed. But, based on age, I've a 40-50% chance of cancer. Nasonex is the only medication I take. | M | 49 | 9 months | 8/6/2006 | 3 | allergies, sinusitis | random nose bleeds | Nasonex has been mildly effective in controlling allergy symptoms. It does not completely clear my stuffy nose and post nasal drip but it helps somewhat. After just over a week of using it once each day, I started having nose bleeds for no apparent reason. I stopped taking it and the nose bleeds went away. | F | 48 | 14 days | 8/2/2006 | 1 | Taken for Nasal Polyp | Sore (VERY PAINFUL) Throat, shortness of breath, insomnia. | Within 2 weeks had the absolute WORST sore throat in my life. I wouldnt wish this feeling on my worst enemy. I have never had shortness of breath until taking this garbage, I'm very athletic. My polyps gone down, but I've never felt worse otherwise. My throat is killing me, my tounge is swollen, my mouth hurts soooo bad its difficult to eat, etc etc etc YET I'M NOT SICK! ! ! Thanks Nasonex! Oh and did I mention the bloody nose.... | M | 35 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2006 |
