| 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 | 5/5/2006 | 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 | 5/3/2006 | 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 | 4/30/2006 | 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 | 4/27/2006 | 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 | 4/25/2006 | 1 | Fluid in Ears | My son is 22-months-old. Fluid in his ears (but no ear infection) and just constant congestion. After 3 days of taking Nasonex (one time per nostril per day), he complained daily that his head hurt (headaches) and woke up every night screaming that his ears/head hurt. | M | 1.5 | 3 days | 4/24/2006 | 2 | Allergies, sinus congestion | After about one month of use (prescribed after allergy induced sinitus and ear infection) I noticed a definite increase in post nasal drip. This eventually (I think) resulted in a *severe* cough, shortness of breath, worse asthma, and blood in my nasal secreatons. | Im not positive the "side effects" are absolutly from the nasonex, but I dont see what else could have caused it. During the month I took it, I noticed slight to no improvement with nasal allergy symptoms. | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 4/19/2006 | 5 | Allergies, serious nasal congestion | Minor temporary throat irritation first 2 days. Believe it was blocked congestion that was released. | Absolutely wonderful! I have had congestion more times than not my whole life and no medicine has worked well until now! I almost feel like I don't have allergies. My nose is the best and clearest it has ever been and it is pollen season. I took Flonase for 5 years and it never worked this great. Plus Nasonex is scent free. I just couldn't be happier. | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 4/5/2006 | 2 | Allergy | I can't believe my doctor and the Allergy specialist constant denial that Nasonex don’t have side effects. I have asthma or shortness of breath, postnasal drip, and light headache, irritability, at the initial stage I had muscle, joints pains. | I think it does more harm than good, I will stop taking it. | M | 39 | 1 months | 4/5/2006 | 4 | Severe Hayfever (allergies) | Dryness in my nose and dried blood in my nostrils. Also seem to have increased fluid in my ears. | Otherwise, it's excellent and I have finally stopped my constant sneezing and runny nose. Nothing else has worked!! | F | 35 | 30 days | 3/22/2006 | 2 | Allergies | After taking Nasonex for almost 2 weeks, I came down with a case of shingles! I do have a low white blood cell count (Dr can't say why) and maybe the Nasonex just tipped my already compromised immune system into a shingles outbreak. | I would like to know if anyone else has gotten shingles after taking this steroid. | F | 59 | 12 days | 3/20/2006 | 3 | sinus headaches from allergies | increased irritability, quick to anger, jittery, heart racing. I have not changed any other routine or drugs, so I'm thinking its the nasonex that is causing these side effects. Very unpleasant. | It has cleared up my sinus headaches so far, but the side effects are like having bad pms, something I definitely don't want to have. Might try a different medication. | F | 42 | 10 days | 3/3/2006 | 5 | Blocked Sinus/Nasal Drip/Itchy Ears | None | Worked Immediately! After years of Sneezing, Runny nose and Sinus congestion it all cleared. Itchy ears went away. Sinus blocked has improved 75% but there is still a slight restriction. Spouse sick with cold for 2weeks and I didn't get it, that in itself is amazing for me. Zero side effects that I am aware of but still I would like to stop it now. Will consult with Doc about alternative to Steroids. | M | 41 | 4 weeks | 2/28/2006 | 1 | SINUSITIS | AFTER A MONTH OF USING IT, A HAVE HEADACHES, STOMACH ACHE, MUSLE PAINS, EAR INFECTION, STILL HAVE POST NASAL DRIP. I REFUSE TO USE IT AGAIN. | F | 34 | 30 days | 2/26/2006 | 1 | Middle ear fluid | The fluid levels in my son's ears did not disappear despite that that was the main reason for taking Nasonex. And in fact, the fluid levels increased. He subsequently failed several hearing tests and then came down with an awful ear infection. I read that Nasonex decreases immunity so that explains it. I also noticed him complaining about stomach aches (don't know if that is related but read it here also). Lastly, I am concerned about his recent irritability and anger - definitely heightened. I would like to hear any similar comments. Submitted 2-20-2006. | M | 6 | 3 days | 2/20/2006 | 4 | allergic rhinitis chronic sinusitis | in the first 6 mths i had a few nose bleeds (in the winter), possibly affecting my immune system... | I've been on nasonex for 4 years and arius for 2 years! Arius is a god send in terms of controlling alliegies and it doubles as a mild decongestant ( without the actual pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine or phenylephrine) I've reduced frequency and length of sinus infection to 4-10 a year ranging from 4 to 12 weeks (on antibiotics) to 1 a year at maybe 2 or 3 weeks (on antibiotics) however there has been an increase in Bronchitis average 3 a year(post nasal drip) and several tonsilitis infections (5 in the last 18 months). Perhaps a trade off and just moving the site of infection. At least I avoided surgery!I have read that using Nasonex for more then 2 yrs straight may depresse your immune system. I now use it only when my sinuses bother me and when I start, I use it at least two weeks (any shorter and it is as not effective adn I end using more in shorter burst then needed) I try to go a few months a year without it to let my immune system build up. | F | 20 | 4 times | 2/8/2006 | 4 | allergic rhinitis chronic sinusitis | in the first 6 mths i had a few nose bleeds (in the winter), possibly affecting my immune system... | I've been on nasonex for 4 years and arius for 2 years!

I take Allegra and that usually covers all the symptoms but sometimes a little more is needed especially when the symptom is nasal drip. I've had no problems with it, and it seems to work. Cost is affordable as well. | F | 31 | 3 years | 2/3/2006 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | My son had been sneezing very badly every morning - with a puff of Nasonex in each nostril the night before the sneezing stopped | M | 3 | 9 months | 1/20/2006 |
