 4  Allergies I have taken Rhinocourt for over a year. Worked great! Ins. Co. stopped covering it so I switched to Nasonex, and I have developed a stutter, sore fingers,and a short temper. All of which I have NEVER had a problem with all my life. M 33 3 weeks

 2  Post nasal drip, stuffy nose HORRIBLE sore throat when I would wake up early in the morning. It would go away after maybe an hour, but then come back the next morning. I will stop using this product today. Was not sure if I had a cold that was causing the sore throat, or if it was for sure the Nasonex. I have no other symptoms, so it must be the Nasonex. M 32 5 days

 2  allergies&sinus infection heart palpatations, nervousness, moody, anxious, jittery I was only on it for two days, The first day I thought my reactions were something else, on the second day they happened again and very quickly after I took it. I looked online for side effects but didn't find any I was experincing, Then I found this site and saw so many with my symptoms I know It's the nasonex. I have also been on flovent for years, which is also an inhaled steriod and have never had any problem with it. The reaction I had almost felt like I had to much albuterol or provental. F 32 2 days

 4  dust allergies I think my sense of smell may be becoming weak. Is this something that is experienced by anyone else? I have looked at the listed side effects and "loss of smell" is never mentioned. Am I imagining this? F 22 4 years

 3  allergies I am experiencing tightness in chest, heart palpitations, difficulties getting deep breath, and I feel that it is due to Nasonex. When I take the dose in the morning I can actually feel my heart respond, and it bothers me all day. It did clear up sinus congestion, but I am unbale to tolerate the heart trouble. I almost took myself to the ER today to see if I was having a heart attack. I will stop using this medicine immediately. F 29 3 weeks

 2  postnasal drip/sinusitus After daily nasonex use for 3 months, I developed a herpes-like infection next to my mouth. Every time I thought it was going to clear up, a new lesion would pop up. I quit taking Nasonex and now, after about a month, the lesions seem to finally be clearing. I'm seeing a dermatologist next week and will see what he says. I am 57 years old and have never had such a skin infection on my face until I took nasonex. F 57 4 months

 1  Sinusitis Viral Infection (Herpes), Anxiety, Bloody Nose, Fatigue, Hot/Cold Flasf, Irritability, Depression This stuff is prescribed like candy and users not warned about side effects. When I mention my problems to my doctor, he looks at me like a deer caught in headlights. My wife notices a change in my mood and behaviour within a couple of days of beginning usage. DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD CHICKEN POX. DO NOT USE IF YOU SUFFER FROM OUTBREAKS OF HERPES ZOSTER, SHINGLES OR GENITAL. DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A STRESSFULL LIFE SITUATION. DO NOT USE IF YOU SUFFER FROM ANXIETY OR PANIC DISORDERS. M 40 12 months

 3  Allergies I think Nasonex is what has been making me quite jittery. Feels at times like I'm having palputations or just general nervous heart feeling. It has fixed my allergies to dust very well though. M 27 2 months

 3  Terrible allergies It was a wonder drug for about 3 weeks and I loved it. But then I developed the worst sore throat I have ever had and have now had it two weeks, even though I haven't taken Nasonex for all that time. I went to my doctor today and she even had me get a shot of Cortsione. It worked GREAT until I got the bad, BAD sore throat. F 56 30 days

 4  Hay fever Slightly blurred vision Seems to work well but I've only taken it for a week. If the vision problem doesn't improve, I may stop taking it. It's also expensive. M 46 1 weeks

 2  Acid Reflux unpleasant taste- total loss of sense of smell After using for two months, I told my doctor that I thought I had lost my sense of smell, and he suggested going off Nasonex (10/31/05). Now I have regained maybe 10% of my sense of smell, but I am basically experiencing phantom smells. Everything that I know has a smell, smells the same- like a sweet mustard. This considition started a few weeks ago, and it may be part of my journey back to having a sense of smell. NASONEX never more. M 54 60 days

 2  post nasal drip, throat congestion This is the second time in a few months that I've tried Nasonex. The first time I started having tightness in my chest when taking deep breaths and frequent heart palpitations - which I had not experienced before. Unsure of the cause I stopped using Nasonex and the symptoms stopped. Recently I started using Nasonex again and the chest tightness has returned after three days. I've been a bit achy as well. I'm still waiting to see if the heart palpitations resume. Modest success at clearing my throat. M 56 3 days

 1  fluid behind one ear My son has only taken the nasonex for 2 days and he has been off the wall hyper!! It's like nothing I've ever seen. My 5 year old takes it for allergies with no proglems. This has just been a crazy two days and the nasonex is the only thing different. Has anyone else had this problem? 4-25-06 M 3 2 days
