"Went through Covid, loss sense of smell and taste, as well as additional acute sinustitis infection. The smell and taste came back much later but was not stable, was reduced to very faint smell next day or to nothing, rollercoaster. The infection reduced the smell further. I was prescibed Mometasone Furoate nasal spray and for the first day or 2, it relieved the pressure but there were also other side effects. I faced the below symptoms: Anxiety Depression Heart palpitations Affected sleep, was not able to sleep at all Blurry vision Oral thrush Tight throat like you can't breath I've been asked by doctor to use it every day (2 sprays each nostril) but for today, i'm going to stop and see what happens. I feel less on edge not using it. I advise for everyone to be careful in using this medication."

"I was prescribed Mometasone for chronic sinusitis. I used it on and off for a few months but felt it was making my headaches worse and causing anxiety. Didn’t seem to ease the original problem . Original sinus headaches were less severe than headaches after taking medication. Encouraged to continue by GP and that my headaches would improve. Instead the anxiety increased with heart palpitations. Burning feeling in throat and tightness. The worst side effect has been recent insomnia. Awake almost all night. Mind anxious. Feeling need to wee throughout the night. After several nights of this I have stopped taking it. Will not take it again. Thanks to others for sharing their experience as I thought I was becoming mentally unwell. Why aren’t gp’s aware of this?"

"My doctor prescribed this product to help post nasal drip which was affecting my ears. After the first couple of days of using this product I felt dizziness, really bad anxiety and flu like symptoms. I was so tired I could barely climb up the stairs. Also felt like it brought on symptoms similar to a bladder infection. I saw a doc to test for a bladder infection and she said it’s a possible side effect of this medication. I’ve been off this product for a week now and the anxiety, racing heart and dizziness is better but still lingering"

Nasonex (mometasone) "The Nasonex spray dispenser says 65 sprays. I've been spraying only twice in each nostril per day, and have had it for 2 weeks and it ran out, so only 56 sprays. I have no issue with the medicine, because it works, it's just the short changing of 9-10 sprays to save money their end but at a cost to the customer."

"Thank the lord I found this thread and saw that I’m not the only one who had a bad reaction. I binned this after one use because I have had a pounding headache all day. As well as dizziness, literally walking into things, and have also just had diarrhoea. My nose breathing feels sore like after a heavy head cold and my throat feels dry and tight. I’ve even felt very low and anxious after feeling great this morning before using it. I will stick to salt water sprays rather than risk this again."

"I tried this on and off for allergies in summer and sinus problems in winter. It kind of works in summer for allergies. but in winter where my nose is not running but swollen and blocking probably cause of dry air, it makes everything worse. I feel more dry, more ear pain, more headache, and it makes my throat ache too. I also have a suspicion that it makes health conditions worse if there is a virus like common cold involved, as every time take mometasone I start to have yellow thick mucus in the morning. This is especially worrying with the corona pandemic at the moment so I would be careful. The best in winter is saltwater spray and azelastine if nose is itching. and I use nasic when I have a cold. But many times I don't know if do I have a cold, or an irritated nose from dry air or an allergic reaction to dust. It is a nightmare, since 20 years my nose gets worse blocking and drying and headaches get worse. I feel like all this sprays can't be good for the nose specially when they contain preservatives like mometasone does."

"I started with Nasonex Mometasone 7th November which had been prescribed by ENT doctor. I had been prescribed this before by my doctor but didn’t use it as I read the side effects were horrendous, I had to use 2 sprays daily. I do wish I had listened to my gut, about a week after using the spray I started with joint pain but I just put it down to age and cold weather not connecting it to Nasonex, Then my eyes started to water and felt heavy. Yesterday I started to feel anxious which was not me at all. I then realised it was the Nasonex, I rang my doctors and told them I will be stopping the spray giving them the reasons. Fortunately, I have an appointment for CT scan this week and will inform the clinic of my decision. I will never use this again and I agree with the lady who said it should be taken off the market. I am hoping that these horrible symptoms disappear."

"I've had sinusitus for at least 10 years now. Had turbinate reduction in both nostrils as they were nearly always blocked specially while sleeping. It helped 25% in one and perhaps 50% in the other. After complaining again to ENT he put me on the spray. It helped but I noticed I was getting headaches if I took to much. Also I have had 3 ear infections in one ear at least once a year where I need drops to clear. Recently I went on a road trip out of province and forgot my spray. Didn't bother to get any, so I went without. Noticed my nose got clogged again but no headaches for 3 weeks. When I came back I loaded up on my spray and got instant migraine that lasted the day. I will try to ween myself off this stuff and perhaps use a saline spray. Im 67 male."

"I started off with blurred vision I thought it was my contact lenses so I made an appointment at my opticians for another check up which I not long had had. My nose felt like it was being wedged open and like a hang over feeling in my head last straw was not an hour after I used it I went upstairs I felt light headed over one eye I sat on the bed and flopped back I was so dizzy this frightened me so I told my GP who said don't take it again. I am just waiting for it to leave my system its left me nervous and feeling a bit down I have only used it for a week never again"

"Two daily sprays in each nostril for severe congestion (unable to breath out of nose) Works great for this issue, it's amazing how good it feels to not breathe like a dog anymore, but does have side effects. The worst being heart palpitations and my tolerance for caffeine/stimulants. Before taking this drug I was able to drink soda/fizzy drinks with no problem but now must monitor these carefully. Drank too much before I knew and had extremely strong palpitations that lasted over 4 hours. If I feel them now they will settle quickly if I start moving and burning some energy. Occasionally (once every 3 months roughly) I will go through a 3-4 day period of having sore sinuses and bending down is uncomfortable thanks to the pressure, didn't ever have this before. Last noticeable side effect is the odd spell (two 2 day periods) of vertigo which I have never experienced before until taking mometasone, which would make my head spin randomly while standing and even while laying down."

"Prescribed this for a month two sprays in each nostril once a day. I could not sleep at night after two weeks even though I was very tired. Towards the end, I was getting to sleep around 3.30 am. I stopped taking it after 3 weeks and instantly slept fine again. It did stop my itchy ears but not the earache."

"Worked well to suppress excess mucous symptoms. The doctor prescribed it for two weeks. I stopped after 4 days thanks to these reviews and other information I had a chance to check into. I was happy with suppressed symptoms but decided to shorten the duration to avoid negative side effects."
