| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NASONEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis | None, other than a slight visual blurriness. | I've had this condition for 5 months and not the conditions this medication is usually prescribed for. I tried it and it didn't really do very much to cure my condition so I stopped using it. | F | 42 | 16 days | 12/15/2005 | 2 | eustacian tube fluid | light-headedness, some restriction of breathing which may be an increase of mild asthma, stiff neck, some jitteriness | I am so glad to read these comments. Side-effects shared here resemble the ones I'm having. These are not described in the regular sources about Nasonex. One doctor suggested I use a "Neti Pot" which is an old and natural method of cleaning sinuses, etc. Can be gotten at health food stores. I am going to try this again with regularity (rather than the "lazy" way I started using it). | F | 63 | 3 days | 12/4/2005 | 5 | Swimming Migraine | None so far | I get migraines when I swim that are so bad I end up on the side of the pool almost in tears. My doctor and I felt that it was a sinus problem so she put me on Allegra and Nasonex. The first swim after starting the meds, I had only a slight/barely there headache. After that, I have had NONE! | F | 37 | 6 days | 10/18/2005 | 3 | Sneezing, congestion from allergies | Can't be sure it's from the Nasonex, but after 1.5 years of taking it, I now have dizzy spells, shortness of breath, a recurring strange tickling sensation in my left ear and a persistant pain on the right side of my neck. Also still have constant nasal congestion, so I have to take Sudafed for that. | Haven't sneezed once in 1.5 years. Works great for sneezing problems, seems to give me lots of side effects, I plan to stop taking this after consulting with my doctor. | M | 38 | 1.5 years | 10/17/2005 | 4 | sinusitis surgery, preventive | sore throat if i forget to take it a couple days in a row then take a dose, fixed by the blue non-scented version. nosebleeds just recently. | this has worked great until about two months ago when i have started having nose bleeds and dryed out sinuses (too dry) to where i cant breath through my nose without pain. i think i may have developed a tolerance for it. | F | 19 | 5 years | 9/1/2005 | 3 | nasal polys | Marvellous relief of symptoms for first month but after 3 months noticed far less effective and asthma symtoms becoming quite severe. Assume Nasonex is cause as no other change in life. Stopped taking and have developed very sore and stiff muscles and painful fingers. Notice this is a stated side effect of withdrawal . | Even though doctor assured me there would be minimal side effects, it seems one must be very careful with steroids beyond a very short course. | F | 45 | 3 days | 8/30/2005 | 2 | allergies, congestion, sinus infect | For the first six months, this was a miracle drug for me. Now, after a year, I am having sinus pain and pressure, post-nasal drip, daily headaches, rise in blood pressure, plus an odd prickling of the scalp. I have tapered off to total non-use, but the symptoms have not gone away. | My doc said that it was okay to take this year around, but perhaps I should have been warned to watch for side effects if using long-term. | F | 71 | 14 months | 8/29/2005 | 1 | septoplasty | bad taste and bad smell | Totally ineffective in my case. No positive effects on my chronic sneezing. I persisted due to doctor pressure, to no clear benefit. | M | 48 | 1 years | 7/24/2005 | 1 | Sinusitus | Nasonex worked great to clear up my stuffy nasal passages but after about 3-4 weeks of taking it, I started to get severe nose bleeding that wouldn't stop (30 minutes of pressure finally stopped it). Not only that but the blood ran out of both my nasal passages (another potential side effect if perforated septum -- perhaps I have this, I will find out at my doctor's appt today). I don't recommend taking Nasonex. This was written on 19 July 2005. | M | 31 | 4 weeks | 7/19/2005 | 3 | allergies | | 7/3/2005 | 4 | nasal irritation due to cyst | I have been retaining water, becoming rather bloated (fingers, ankles, face). I assume its from the steroid in Nasonex, but I haven't yet been able to clarify that as a side effect of the drug. However, I am taking nothing else, so it must be the Nasonex. | The burning & itching in my nose/sinuses has subsided. Sneezing has decreased to almost nothing. | F | 34 | 2 weeks | 6/9/2005 | 4 | dust allergy | After taking this for almost three months I started getting dizzy/light headed spells. My doc didn't think it was the spray, but all my bloodwork came back clear. I think it is the spray. | It's worked wonders on clearing my nose, but it's not worth being dizzy. I've just discontinued it. | F | 33 | 3 months | 5/27/2005 | 4 | sinusitus | only been on it for 3 days so none really yet except its like snorting hand cream! | ive been ill for over 3 weeks with a sinus infection and vertigo. antibiotics have cleared up the infection but im having the worse attack of sinusitus ive ever had (been suffering for years) ive put off going to the doctor about it due to ppl telling me the only treatment is getting ur face drilled anyway hes put me on this stuff and reckons in 2 weeks i will be cured and i cant wait i dont remember a time i didnt have headaches and a stuffy nose and interupted sleep! anyway it is helping so far im feeling a little better each day just waiting to actually sleep now | F | 33 | 3 days | 5/6/2005 | 1 | allergies | It seemed to be helping for about a week, then i started getting a sore throat, then nose bleeds that lasted an hour at a time, then muscle aches, a cough, congestion,sores in my nose,loss of voice, and it ended with an upper respertory infection...thanx nasonex! | Please think twice before you use this product or any steroid medication. | M | 29 | 14 days | 4/11/2005 | 5 | allergies, sinus headaches | None! | Nasonex is great. I have no drowsiness, dry eyes, or irratability as I did with other allergy medications. It works better than Flonase, especially at relieving congestion. I don't have to take anything else now but Nasonex once a day. | F | 32 | 7 days | 4/8/2005 | 5 | allergies/migraines | I have severe allergies for tree/grass pollens, dust and molds. The only symptom was post-nasal drip -- or so I thought. Doctor put me on singular, clarinex and nasonex. Amazingly, my migraines have gone from 2 days/week to 2 days/month. Not sure which med (or if all contributed.) I suspect the inflamation caused by the allergies were triggering migraines. | F | 42 | 2 months | 3/8/2005 | 4 | | 2/27/2005 | 3 | allergies | low sex drive | F | 24 | 20 days | 2/26/2005 | 4 | Chronic stuffy nose | I have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth and a burning sensation on one side of my tongue - tongue is sensitive too. When I eat or drink anything the burning is worse and it alters the taste of my food. It's so unpleasant that I can only used this medication for a couple days and then I have to stop. When I stop, so do the side effects. If not for the side effects I would love this stuff. | It does work. It says that it can take awhile to work but it works for me right away. But I'm not sure what's worse, the stuffy nose or the horrible thing it does to my tongue. | F | 43 | 6 months | 2/20/2005 | 4 | Sinusitis & hearing problem | I found that I have become very irritible & short-tempered & easily stressed. These subsided when I stopped taking it. Have to work on finding the right balance to treat sinusitis & ear against side effects. | Has really help clear up sinus problem & ear problem is a little better. Overall - very imressed. | M | 37 | 3 weeks | 2/15/2005 |
