 1  Chronic Sinusitis None at first, then suffered severe vertigo to the point that it was making me vomit. Still suffering with vertigo which my doctor prescribed anti-sickness tablets. Loss of taste and smell which occurred almost immediately and is still ongoing. Developed cough with excess vile mucus. Have also developed intermittent vision problems were everything looks hazy. Unable to sleep, which probably explains the tiredness. Weakness. It is only after finding this site and reading about Nasonex that I have decided I will not be taking it anymore. I have had chronic sinusitis for nearly 3 months for which I have had 3 lots of antibiotics. On my last visit, my doctor discovered that I had a nasal polyp and prescribed Nasonex, which I have been using for a month, together with more antibiotics. Due to the severe bout of vertigo I experienced last week, he prescribed anti-sickness tablets. On reading peoples reviews, I will not be taking this product again. I only hope my vertigo, loss of smell and taste will return, as will a goods night sleep. Even though I cannot smell food cooking etc., I keep getting this constant horrible musty smell. I would give anything to be able to taste and smell food again. Hope this helps. F 56 4 weeks

 1  Allergies Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Swollen Throat, Painful Throat, Shortness of Breath, Mood Swings, Depression Terrible....terrible....drug. I am so glad I figured out what was causing my panic attacks. It took the flu and not taking it for a couple of days for me to realize what was causing every single health problem that I was experiencing. I had previously taken another corticosteroid nasal spray for years and have had depression for years. I will NEVER take these again. They are trash to me. F 55 3 months

 1  Post Nasal Drip Dose: 2x 50mcg sprays per nostril, twice a day. For Post Nasal Drip after upper respiratory infection. Had a sore throat to begin with, which was even worse after taking the second dose of this med. Depression / anxiety. Couldn`t sleep. Conjunctivitis after the second daily dose (Which I had only just recovered from having completed a course of anti-biotics, and had cleared completely). A day later and all the symptoms are dissappearing. Cannot believe how quickly these symptoms arose...After only 2 doses. I guees that is fortunate, as I was going to continue with the drug today, until I found this site. Will never use this again. M 64 1 days

 1  Sinus pressure Within the first week I experienced severe vertigo. Felt like I was constantly drunk. I also had itchy ears...to the point they would bleed from all the scratching. Next came severe headache everyday on my left side. Then came blurry vision. Around week 3..4 another side effect came, extreme nausea and panic attacks. I can not relax anymore, my heart is always racing. My hands shake and I develop chest pain. My doctor could not figure out what was wrong with me, had an MRI of my brain. I found this site and realized it was nasonex. I have been off nasonex for about 3 days now. I do not have a headache and slightly less dizzy but all my other side effects remain. I honestly think my vision is permanently damaged. I will be going to eye doctor soon. Feel hopeless and miserable. Not worth it. Should be banned. F 23 1 months

 1  Allergy Cannot taste or smell anything the day after I sprayed. Today is second day, I didn't spray. I am scared. So I checked out Internet. Looks like my guess is correct. Nasonex is the cause. F 30 1 days

 1  clear sinuses At third dose, nose started running like a faucet, sneezing came on and lasted, non-stop-for about 12 hours. Nothing would stop it. Headache above the eyes, ears plugged up. At 6 hour mark, shortness of breath, almost went to emerg but waited that out and it passed. Will never take it again. Cost outweighed benefit. F 56 2 days

 2  allergies This stuff is horrible! I couldn't figure out the culprit til after almost two months of using this stuff; however, I'm glad it finally registered. It seemed like after i would take it, and every time, my symptoms would be worse, but i just figured it was because of high pollen days. But i specifically paid attention the last day i took it a few days ago. As soon as i took it i felt like my head would explode. Immediately my ears, nose and head felt full and congested and stayed that way the entire day. I stopped taking it a few days ago and haven't felt that way since.My side effects were: being jittery, anxiety, moodiness, insomnia, increased congestion, feeling out of sorts, dizziness. Would never take again, would rather deal with allergy symptoms. Definitely wouldn't recommend for a child especially. F 41 2 months

 1  sinus 2 weeks ago, while travelling, I ended up in ER with chest pain and palpitations. After 3 hours of tests they cleared me. When I returned home the simptomes got better. Three days ago I found my nasonex spray in my travel bag and started using it again. Since then I feel like I've had too much coffee, have palpitations, shivers and anxiety. It was only as I used it today that I realized it might be the culprit! Still have to suffer through today as I've only taken it two hours ago......but it will go in the bin tonight! I hope the side effects gets better over time! M 29 14 days

 1  sinus congestion allergies Eye pain, ear pain, extreme intense headaches. anxiety, palpitations and tight chest. Metallic burning sensations in lips and mouth. Sore throat. I have been on Nasonex on and off, mostly in the summer for sinus related issues and allergies for two years. First and foremost, it works and it works fast. However, after a while, I started noting symptoms I was having as I could not figure out what was wrong me. It wasn't until very recently, I had started to use nasonex again and started having palpitations, chest and eye pain and watering. I tracked my headaches - These headaches were intense, almost a burning within my forehead, all day long, every day - starting shortly after using the nasonex. I tracked everything. I started having anxiety where my hands would tremble minutes after I used the nasonex. and my body felt like it wanted to jump out of its skin with anticipatory anxiety.One morning, after using the spray before bed the night before, I awoke early in the morning thinking I was having a heart attack or an aneryism because my head was pounding and my heart racing. I am on day two of not using this product and I am stunned after 48 hours, my headache is gone although ear pain and anxiety/shakiness remain to which I am hoping will eventually dissipate. Anyone with sensitivities to drugs or predisposed with panic/anxiety disorder, be very careful. This product has scared me enough to stop using it and suffer with my sinus issues. F 47 24 days

 4  sinus pressure / allergic rhinitis Can cause nosebleeds in the winter when dry. Seems to be increased rate of ENT infections that develop into more serious issues. Rebound effect of swelling if try to go off drug- took 5 days to get back to normal after re-starting from a week's break. I seem to be more tolerant than most people on this forum. I CANNOT LIVE without this drug. Sinus headaches and pressure severe and daily without it- was completely dependent on daily pseudoephedrine (terrible for my high BP) without it, now down to 2-3 times per week. ENT diagnosed no sinus pathology- but allergic to everything. Taking immunotherapy shots for that now. Infections requiring antibiotics increased with nasonex, but 6 mnths of chiropractor seems to have cured this. Have some dizzy episodes, but that is due to ears clogging which is a symtom of the orginal problem, not the nasonex. No anxiety or crazy symptoms, but maybe this is because I take a beta blocker for lifelong high blood pressure which blocks this side effect. I do suspect I have cushings style fat on my face and neck however....but still worth it considering the pain I used to be in. I couldn't even function before nasonex. Headaches decreased by about 50%. F 39 4 years

 2  Sinus congestion alleged agergy. Dry painful sinus with thick mucosa which is very hard to shift. Headache , insomnia , terrible taste in the mouth, some general agitation and anxiety. Side effects seem to be worse than the original complaint, which I suspect may be an infection and not allergy anyway. No sleep a major problem. M 67 5 weeks
