| 5 | constant congestion/sinus headaches | Leaves a bit of a bad taste at back of my mouth if I don't drink or eat anything after. | I had been suffering from year-round sinus congestion and sinus headaches for 2 years. Had previously been prescribed Flonase but that spray did not help at all. I later had a successful septoplasty done but this provided only a slight benefit. After the surgery, my doctor prescribed Nasonex since the surgery hadn't resolved my symptoms. Nasonex worked instantly and has eliminated by headaches and made my congestion 90% better. I finally have my life back again! I was surprised how well it worked considering that Flonase did nothing. | M | 34 | 1 months | 1/17/2006 | 4 | for allergies | Is it possible that Nasonex can cause severe stomach aches? My 10-year-old son was on Nasonex for a while for allergies. He started to have persistent stomach aches that stopped when he went off it, and started up again immediately when he went back on it. Still don't have enough information to know if this is coincidence or a side effect. | This really cleared up my son's constant sniffles and runny nose. The doctor told me that the steroid absorption is almost nil, so I felt pretty safe. My son used to take allegra, which does not work half as well. | M | 10 | 60 days | 1/8/2006 | 3 | allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps | Dry nose, dry red eyes, loss of sense of smell, impotence. Have been using Nasonex for 10 years. It took me a long time and much self experimentation over a period of several years of on-off use to finally positively identify a direct relaionship between Nasonex use and loss of sex drive and sexual potency. Beware of long-term use. Seems reversible over a period of several months of non-use, however. | Nasonex (and surgery to remove nasal polyps) was a godsend initially. I went from 4-6 colds leading to bronchitis per year, to maximum 1 cold per year. I miss sense of smell however. I now use only sporadically, for short periods of maximum three days. | M | 53 | 10 years | 1/6/2006 | 3 | allergies, chronic sinusitis | every few weeks suffered mild colds/sinus pain, much more frequent than before taking Nasonex - not sure that it was the nasonex but after seeing another reviewer with the same problem, I think it might be related. Did a search on google and came up with several results that claim glucocorticosteroids reduce immunity (t cells and immunoglobulins). Although this might make sense, considering allergic reactions can be the result of overactive immunoresponses to what the body perceives as 'allergens' (and g-steroids would thus dampen that response), I think more research might nevertheless develop a link between g-steroids and increased infections. Since my sinus infections are MUCH worse than allergy symptoms, I've stopped taking this drug. Anyone else who experienced similar problems, rate away, I'd love to hear any similar experiences. | it definitely works for allergies, sneezing and runny nose, no doubt, but I'm afraid it may be reducing my immunity. stopped it. | 21 | 5 months | 12/30/2005 | 4 | nasla polyps/sinusitus | blood in nasal discharge,light headed,aggressive or high spirited in the early stages of use ie first month.stopped using after three months because of visual disturbance and reached a point when it was doing no good also had a bout of depression and aching joints for a month after i stopped using it. | M | 31 | 3 days | 12/27/2005 | 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 |
