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!!!"

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."

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!"

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."
