User Reviews for Nasonex nasal

It did not help me much in the first season of using it. I was not religious about spraying it twice a day though. During 2nd and 3rd years of using my constant nasal congestion and fatigue was gone. However, I had rashes developing around that time last 2 years which I never connected to this spray, and I am still not sure whether it is a side effect as it's listed as "not so common". It starts with itching at the elbows and spreads. I ended up on a drug for the skin condition last year to clear it. This season I started a new spray, and sure enough, the rash came right back so I stopped for now. Curious whether anyone else saw same.Read More Read Less

My allergies over a year created major problems. Stuffed nose, constant draining of ears, infection in eye, puncher in ear drum. As soon as the drum was sealed, I started using Nasonex. I have used the product for 4 years. I do not use it everyday. Only when the allergies hit. The product dries up the draining and clears the head,, It opens all the passage ways. I don't have any bad reactions I believe, because I do not use it everyday.

Had to stop using after 4 days as I woke up on the 5th day and had complete blurred vision. I could not read any street signs and I have perfect vision. I had driven the night before and in the morning could not see. Scary. Will never use again.

I have been using this product for a few months and see no improvement. In addition: IT IS MADE IN CHINA (SINGAPORE)!!!!

Suffered from sinusitis, chronic infections and general inability to breath comfortably through my nose. Nasonex gave me back my life; my sanity. BUT...it is a CRIME how much this medication costs in the United States. Go abroad, $17. Same thing. Please.

MY A1C LEVELS KEEP GOING UP SORE THROAT CHANGES ON MY BLOOD PRESURE

I began using Nasonex on the advice of my ENT after a severe sinus infection. The first side effect came in the form of a HORRIBLE migraine headache almost immediately after the first dose. Nothing worked on it - not even Imitrex. I avoided Nasonex for the next day or two and then tried it again. This time the headache wasn't as bad so I coninued using Nasonex. It was then that the terrible insomnia, racing heart beat and stomach problems (stomach pain, cramps, heartburn, diarrhea and gas)started. I had just finished a course of strong antobiotics for the sinus infection and thought they were the cause of the gastro problems but, after a few more days on Nasonex, it became clear that the nasal spray was causing my GI issues. I called my ENT to report the side efects I was experiencing and was told that there was "No Way" that Nasonex could affect my stomach since it "only stays in your nasal passages and doesn't enter the bloodstream"(something BOTH my Gastoentrologist and pharmacist dispute, BTW) He told me continue the Nasonex and not to worry. (easy for him to say) After looking up the side effects of Nasonex, it turns out that gastro problems are, indeed, listed as possible side effects of the spray. (so much for it NOT getting into your bloodstream) I have since stopped Nasonex against the advice of my ENT and am hoping that the side effects will start to abate as the drug clears my system (unfortunately, it seems that I'm in for a wait as Nasonex has a reeeeaaallly long half life.) I will NEVER take another nasal steroid as long as I live. Despite what my ENT says, research has proven that they DO enter the bloodstream and cause tons of side effects in many systems of the body. From now on, I'll stick to Saline Nasal Spray. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed Nasonex for chronic nasal congestion and it worked, really well. I had been on it for about 10 years (2x daily) when I started having digestive problems, severe heartburn and stomach pains. For over a year I went to many specialists and no one could figure out the cause, especially since I had never experienced these symptoms before. Finally, I went to a naturopath who suggested I stop taking the nasonex. I did and I've now been off of it for almost 2 months and I'm getting a lot better, but still not back to normal. My naturopath thinks it will be close to a year before my digestive system gets back to normal. I still cannot sleep laying down. It has been extremely frustrating, but I am so greatful to have found the cause. I wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing.Read More Read Less

using nasonex for two weeks not any significant change so going back to doctor

I hated the feeling I had while on this medication. Though, it dear clear my nose I got a horrible headache and heart racing. Nose felt too dry up into my head. Never using again.

This does a great job at suppressing the hideous headaches I get during allergy season. Major side affect - insomnia. I already have chronic insomnia, now that is worse. Have had horrible insomnia for a week now, with last night being the worst. Woke up every 1-2 hours. Taking the Nasonex is the only thing different, made the connection that it has to be this spray. Reading some of the other reviews, think I've had some of those side affects as well. I'd rather suffer the headaches than suffer with severe insomnia.Read More Read Less

This drug literally changed my life. Before I started taking it, I had 2-3 sinus infections/yr - I was always tired - always had sinus pressure. A couple of times it progressed to pneumonia. Now - I haven't been sick in 2 yrs. I have an occasional nose bleed but then I just make sure I'm getting enough moisture in the air and it stops. I use it year round,

I experienced insomnia after use.

Helps to open my nasal passages & helps me get rid of some of the ocngestion. I have used this for at least five years but now have chronic sinus disease. Within 8 months of balloon sinoplasty & insertion of the propel nasal stents, my sinus are completely blocked on the right side and partially in my upper left sinus, which was clear four months ago. My allergy doctor has stopped the nasonex this week.

After only four treatments, my tongue went numb and I completely lost my sense of taste. I immediately stopped treatment. It has only been 48 hours since I stopped, but I hope that my tongue recovers. This is definitely worse than having allergy symptoms. Perhaps I am allergic to something in the drug itself because they don't list this as a known side effect, although others have reported it.

Clogged sinus for many months. Tried many allergy meds. For 2 months Nasonex has helped more. Also using Dulera inhaler for mild asmah. coughing for 2 months. Cannot get rid of sinus problem or cough for 5 months now. Checking in with doctor again this week for 3rd time.

It worked great for my symptoms but gave me extreme out of no where rage. I found myself flipping out on family, random people who cut me off driving.

I've been taking Nasonex for seasonal allergies for about 3 years. I never take it all the time. I only take it when my symptoms appear (March and September) and I would only take a half dose (1 squirt in each nostril per day). Recently, my allergies were especially bad so I began taking the full dose every day for about 5 days. That's when the infamous side effects kicked in: Odd pain behind my eyes, dizziness, weakness, tiredness, nausea, head pressure (as if standing on my head), some hot flashes, inability to concentrate at work. I immediately stopped using the drug. The symptoms have slowly subsided since then, but have not completely gone away after 2 weeks. One odd benefit is that I typically have bad insomnia and since the side effects, I've been sleeping like a champ. I'm seeing my doctor this week just to make sure it's not something else.

PMO switch me from Dymista after 2 weeks to Nasonex. Went from breathing great to like breathing thru a sponge and not sleeping well.

THIS DRUG IS TOO EXPENSIVE. IT COST ME $140.00!
