Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Absolutely a nightmare! I was on this nasal spray, Nasonex, for about six months. During that time, I developed excruciating leg aches, and flu-like aches throughout my body that were never-ending. I also had insomnia. It got to the point where I was so exhausted, depressed, and at times couldn’t even see straight. I went to the doctor several times, they took my blood, ran different tests, and nobody could tell me what was wrong with me. So, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Restless Leg Syndrome were suggested. I was just about to start more medication for these conditions when it dawned on me that it could be the nasal spray after reading reviews. Hard to believe one puff in each nostril daily can make you feel like you are dying."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "This medicine should be taken off the shelves. My doctor prescribed it because I have really bad allergies and from the third day after using it, my throat got tight and dry making me feel as if I couldn't breathe. One week later, I'm still having nosebleeds from it, my head is spinning, eyes are very heavy. I think I've got every single bad side effect from it. Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! I stopped using it right away! How does the FDA approve something like that, it's beyond me!!!"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "The Nasonex caused crazy anxiety, super dizzy and weird visual things like afterimages from lights that would last 5 minutes. Waking up in the middle of the night totally dizzy and spinning. It might work well, I'm not sure because I had to stop using it. The visual stuff freaked me out too much."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "This was the worst experience of side effects with this nasal spray! It exacerbated my anxiety, and gave me heart palpitations, not to mention pressure behind my eyes. OMG, it was so bad. I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know this till I Googled! So many have complained of the same things! Heart palpitations and eye pain were the worst! I will stick to my saline nasal spray! This stuff is really nasty!"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Caused depressive symptoms such as sadness. After stopping it, 6 days later, the sadness has magically disappeared. This drug absorbs into the bloodstream from the nose and can cause systemic psychiatric side effects."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I've been suffering for many years, and my doctor gave me this product! IT DOESN'T WORK! It does absolutely nothing! Waste of time and money! Since I went to my new doctor, I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, something I already knew! Finally, this time I tried another product (Nasosyn - Xylometazoline HCL + Dexpanthenol) that truly SAVED MY LIFE! I stopped being tired because of lack of sleep, and I became a new powerful person! Guys! Nasonex didn't work for me! Thanks for reading. Hope I helped."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I suffer year-round severe allergies with a runny, sneezy nose, blocked sinuses, and itchy, red, watery eyes. This product works... BUT for me, it isn't worth the side effects - chronic diarrhea, blurred vision, total loss of taste and smell, lethargy, anxiety, headaches, and abdominal cramps. I was taking it last year and had these symptoms, then stopped and they went away, but I didn't connect the two until THIS time when I went on it again. I've been on it for about 3 months, and back came the symptoms. So I did an online search and found so many others with the same experience using Nasonex. This week, I stopped again and will never use it again. This product can also cause Glaucoma and cataracts - how can people be ready to risk the serious side effects of this just for hay fever? I'd rather sneeze my way through life than be blind... and now I know why my vision has been blurry :("

Nasonex (mometasone) for Nasal Polyps "I was prescribed by my doctor Nasonex for my polyps. I used it on and off for a couple of years, but only yesterday did it dawn on me that all this while, whenever I felt sickly with a very dry throat, difficulties in breathing, wheezing, trembling hands, dizziness, pressure behind my eyes, headache, muscle pains, neck pain, blurred vision, loss of balance, ear pains, difficulties in swallowing, and chest pains, it was all from after using Nasonex! I thought what was wrong with me. I even went to an emergency room thinking I was getting a stroke or a heart attack. Then I realized last night that all these symptoms only occur whenever I use Nasonex, but whenever I stopped using it, all of these symptoms would subside. So, I Googled for reviews and saw so many people have experienced these bad side effects. I wish I knew sooner!"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I began using this after suffering from nasal congestion, headaches, and sinus pains. After I began taking it, I suffered from terrible pain behind my eyes, nausea, and anxiety. I went to so many doctors, but nobody was able to pinpoint what it was. I was having around 20 migraine/headache days per month. Painkillers were not helping, and I was constantly put on higher and higher doses, which all eventually stopped helping. My nasal congestion also didn't really clear up, but for some reason, I still persisted. I didn't think it was the spray, as I used other steroid sprays in the past, so didn't dream it was the Nasonex. At one point, it dawned on me that it might just be the Nasonex. I stopped using it and have not had another headache since. I feel better in myself and not so anxious anymore. I suffered terribly for 4 months."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Negligible improvement of chronic rhinitis. Multiple nasty side effects including headaches, sore throat, muscular aches in throat, neck, and back as far down as the kidneys, occasional dizziness. These symptoms started after about a week of one puff per nostril per day, and they are persisting six weeks after stopping use of this product. It is like having a mild dose of influenza without any fever or elevated body temperature. It might work for some people, but for me, it is very bad news."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "For almost two years, I have taken Nasonex to control allergies, however, the side effects of it, mostly occurring upon waking and lasting about 5-6 hours, are unbearable: chronic tension headaches, extreme fatigue, and some dizziness. I never could relate the side effects to the nasal spray until I had exhausted every other possibility, including diet, hydration, other medications, vitamins, and herb supplements. Through a long process of elimination and reading other posts online, I finally determined it was the Nasonex of Mometasone Furoate spray. You are not alone! Horrible headaches and lasting fatigue are not worth it!"

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Horrible drug. Started using it, and within 24 hours, I'd started getting severe anxiety and severe depression. Came off of it, tried again at a lower dose, same thing to a slightly lesser degree. Also gave me headaches and a tight feeling in my throat. Can't take any lower a dose really, or it won't be effective. Never using this stuff again."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I have been using Nasonex for over a year, but not consistently. I finally became so miserable with a horrible migraine that I couldn't connect to anything else that I checked side effects. Sure enough, Nasonex is what triggers my migraines. Not only that, I now realize it's what has been making me so mysteriously ill with horrible aches and joint pain, nausea, and extreme exhaustion that hits me about 3-4 days a week, which is how often I use Nasonex. I would much rather have a runny nose than feel this sick."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "Nasonex was recommended by my ENT to assist with symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), which I've endured for a couple of months now. I used Nasonex for 4 weeks and found it did nothing apart from make me feel nauseous and made my nasal passages extremely dry with slight blood in mucus. I also had a sore throat. I took myself off it and use saline nasal sprays instead, I find they do more for me and keep my nasal passages moist."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I began using Nasonex to help with nasal congestion and snoring. Worked really well. I was also on Cymbalta and Lamictal for depression. About the same time I started the Nasonex, I began to suffer from acute, chronic migraines, as many as 20 per month. I went through 5 different neurologists/specialists during a six-year period in which I was more or less bedridden. When the drug company stopped supplying it in September, I had to stop taking it and haven't had a migraine since. Doctors need to be made more aware of the link between Nasonex and migraines. This condition is incredibly hard to diagnose and treat, as everyone has different triggers. Doctors don't know - for six years they got nowhere - I was the one who figured it out."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Prescribed for mold allergy. Totally made everything worse. Made me more congested with shortness of breath and heart-pounding palpitations. Felt extremely anxious even though I knew I was not anxious. Could not sleep. Two doctors did not believe me. Came off the stuff and immediately felt better. Two days later, much, much better."

For Sinus Symptoms "I have chronic sinusitis (symptoms were eye pain, headache, stuffed nose or runny nose, pressure around the eyes and cheeks) and was prescribed this drug. It helped my symptoms for the first 3 days, for the first time in years, I had no sinus symptoms, I couldn't believe it. And then on day 4, I took my dose before bed, and it gave me crazy bad anxiety! Racing heart! Sweats, couldn't stay still, my vision went fuzzy, I almost called the hospital. Literally thought I was going to die. I was up until 7 AM, I couldn't fall asleep. When I woke up, I was still having bad anxiety. Anxiety lasted about 2 days. Good thing I read these reviews, now I know I'm not the only one."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I have never felt so ill in my life. I can't keep off the toilet, feeling sick most of the time, breathing not too good. I have had this Nasonex before and always had to run to the toilet, but never thought it was this. But this time is the worst. Maybe, as I'm getting older, I am 70 now. I will never, ever use this again."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I am a seasonal allergy sufferer, and some years they are worse than others. This year I have been miserable, always either sneezing continually, or not able to breathe, or a continuous runny nose, bleeding nose. Tired and just not able to function! None of this is fun or attractive. I remember my doctor prescribing Nasonex a few years back, and I went back and asked for it again. Within 2 days, I felt back to my normal self and was able to breathe properly. No more lethargy and no more nosebleeds. It truly is a miracle for me with no side effects."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "I was allergic to it. Developed upper respiratory infection, cough, conjunctivitis, and the final straw was waking up one night with my throat almost swollen shut. The allergist said I had a reaction to it and to stop taking it."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "It worked very instantly, it was a great product. Then I stopped after 2 weeks, and it came back straight away. So I had to take it until the entire season finished to prevent the allergic reaction from coming again. The product is good except for the horrible leak that drips down your nasal path into the back of your throat."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Used Nasonex for approximately three weeks. Discontinued use due to headaches and severe impairment of taste (metal taste). Have not used in over one week. Headaches have been relieved, but still have a metal taste in mouth."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Nasal Polyps "I have had polyps removed six times now and have been using Nasonex since it first came on the market. Maybe it stopped some from growing, but for the past five months, I have suffered headaches every day. Maybe I've used Nasonex for too many years for this to start happening. Since stopping the Nasonex, my headaches have ceased. What a relief."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Sinus Symptoms "I was prescribed this nasal spray as a form of treatment for symptoms of sinus. Before I started using Nasonex, I was having at least three sinus infections a year, which required antibiotics to clear up the pain, buildup of mucus, etc. I take one spray in each nostril every night. And thankfully, I haven't had an antibiotic for a sinus infection in a few years."

Nasonex (mometasone) for Allergic Rhinitis "Nasonex worked, grateful for my sinuses. It helped with preventing headaches. The bad thing is I lost my sense of smell. I used it for a very short time and stopped when I realized I couldn't smell. It has been over 3 months since I used it. The sense hasn't returned. I also lost my sense of taste. The taste came back after 2 or 3 weeks of not using the product."
