"Nasonex worked great for what it was intended. My nasal passages opened up during the worst allergy season on record, and I didn't want to scratch my face off. I had to stop using it, though, because it was causing tension headaches and eye weirdness. I even stopped and started again to make sure it was the Nasonex, and it was. Oh well. It's worth trying if your insurance covers it, otherwise, it's $200+..."

"I have been taking Nasonex for 8 years for seasonal allergies to various tree pollens. I get the horribly itchy eyes/nose/palate and runny nose. If I start taking Nasonex a few weeks prior to spring pollen season, it really helps and reduces about 90% of my symptoms. This way, I can still function for the month or two of pollen season. I would recommend this to people with birch tree allergies."

"After having quite a lot of tests on allergies done, and still unable to find out what the problem of my running nose was, using Nasonex helped to relieve the most unpleasant effects of my condition. I have not experienced any side effects. What I enjoy the most is that this spray doesn't destroy or acidify my nose."

"Nasonex changed my life! I have severe hay fever symptoms, but using Nasonex every night before going to sleep relieved all symptoms. I have been using it for 8 years, and I can genuinely say that it changed my life."

"I've been using it for a while, and it didn't work well for me. I changed to another spray, and it got much better. I also had the problem where the mist did not actually reach where it was supposed to go, but rather just drooled out."

"I've been using Nasonex off and on for quite a few years, especially in the wintertime, as I have a constant runny nose and frequent sinus infections. I recently realized that I have frequent headaches and migraines, mostly in the wintertime also. This medication was a godsend for me in the beginning, but it's not anymore. After long-term use, it seems like my sinuses are burning all the time, and my nose is still running whether I use it or not. I often have heart palpitations and have even had heart tests for that. I have decided to go off this medication for a long period of time to see if any of the symptoms I've described are caused by Nasonex."

"Absolutely a wonder drug. For me, this changed my life after years of miserable, miserable allergy seasons. I have almost ZERO allergy symptoms in the spring while taking this for the last 3 years. Unclear if there are side effects, will pay more attention when I stop this year. Anyway, they are minor enough to justify this drug that totally changed my spring from hell to something quite better."

"I was on Nasonex for 5 months, and it was very helpful in relieving my sinus issues and my ETD, which were caused by allergies. However, the side effects are hard to deal with, so eventually I decided to switch to using antihistamines rather than steroid sprays."

"I had a cold with a stuffy nose, so I don't know why my doctor prescribed this for me. I wish I could give this product a zero. It did absolutely nothing for me except give me severe nosebleeds. I would love to contact the company to complain, but I can't find their contact information anywhere. Worst 50 bucks I ever spent."

"It is a nightmare! Our pedia prescribed Nasonex for my 1-year and 10-month-old baby because he is having difficulty breathing at night. When he started using Nasonex, everything went wrong. My baby's nose has a very loud sound when he is inhaling and difficulty breathing, which is getting much worse. I am worried it could be life-threatening because he cannot breathe. We don't have normal sleep anymore. When I stopped giving Nasonex, the bad side effects lessened, although he still has trouble breathing. I pray to God that everything will get normal soon."

"Nasonex was prescribed because I can't breathe easily through my nose. It is hard to sleep at night, and breathing through my mouth is very troublesome. I would wake several times at night with a dry mouth, throat, and in the morning, have a raspy voice. The doctor thought I might have allergies and thought the Nasonex might open up nasal passages."

"This is the best product I've ever used for allergies. For a long time, I've suffered terribly with hay fever, which antihistamines controlled, but it was the constant itchy face, nose, and neck that made life miserable for me, and I couldn't find anything to control it. I had tried other nasal sprays, but to no avail. A friend recommended Nasonex, and I tried it reluctantly. After 1 week of taking it (one spray in each nostril every morning), I am delighted. No more itchiness, sneezing, watery eyes, and no more misery!! I'm very happy and grateful, and I've suffered no side effects so far."
