Mometasone nasal 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."

Mometasone nasal 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."

Mometasone nasal 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."

For Sinus Symptoms "Went through COVID, loss of sense of smell and taste, as well as an additional acute sinusitis infection. The smell and taste came back much later but were not stable, reduced to a very faint smell the next day or to nothing, a rollercoaster. The infection further reduced the smell. I was prescribed mometasone furoate nasal spray, and for the first day or two, 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 breathe. I've been asked by my doctor to use it every day (2 sprays in each nostril), but for today, I'm going to stop and see what happens. I feel less on edge not using it. I advise everyone to be careful in using this medication."

Mometasone nasal for Nasal Polyps "Sinuva is basically a Mometasone drip. If you’re sensitive to this steroid, run away! Vivid dreams, anxiety, and depression tsunami! I have to wait 76 more days for the steroid implants to dissolve... torture! 24-hour anxiety brain fog! How I wish I knew more about this product before I let my ENT implant them in my sinuses. Mometasone is a beast of a drug!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have used Nasonex allergy nasal spray (Mometasone) quite a few times for very brief periods. This product does work instantly for my allergic rhinitis, which can be a relief when you have a constantly running nose every day. Unfortunately, all the times I have used Nasonex, it has resulted in me experiencing instant and severe depression, which I normally suffer from, so I stop taking Nasonex and then I am happy (but with a runny nose). How come depression or sadness are never mentioned as possible side effects on any health sites? I thought it was only me until I read some reviews on this page."
