Nasonex and nostril

My son has epilepsy. Last year I remember him being put on antibiotic and nasonex for his sinus infection, (Sept. 2008) he had 13 tonic clonic seizures in one day!
This year, he has been put on antibiotic and nasonex again (2 sprays in each nostril twice a day) and he had 4 tonic clonic seizures in one day!
I believe it is from the nasonex that his seizures has increased so much. He has been constipated, swallowing like his throat hurts, very swollen sinuses, acts like he is depressed, squints his eyes like he has a headache. The worse thing is he cannot tell me something hurts, he cannot communicate much at all because he is special needs. I can only go by his body language or if he is running a fever. This morning I did not give him the nasonex, I used only saline spray to rinse his sinuses. After reading everyone's side effects I went and threw all the nasonex in the trash!! My son will go to ENT on Monday and the ENT better not tell me to put my son back on nasonex because I will not do it!! I will only be using saline spray from now on on my son's sinuses.

I had terrible sinus problems combined with my deviated septum. Swollen nostrils, constant nasal drip, couldn't sleep at night, and terrible sore throat in the morning. Started taking nasonex two months ago... Stopped all my problems in a few days. After two weeks I was only spraying each nostril once about 2-3 times a week. My periods are always every 28 days and my past period was 10 days late, I am still waiting for this months period (over a week late). I realized it has to be the nasonex. Along with menstrual problems, I have had terrible nightmares, acne problems (for the first time ever, I'm 24), a few nosebleeds, headaches that have lasted over 4 days, and itchy skin. I didn't put it all together until I saw this website. I will not be spraying my nose again, from now on I will be using the nedi pot.

I was prescribed nasonex, and an antibiotic for an infection with terrible stuffiness and getting so dried out at night that my uvula would swell up, but go back to normal during the day..... That got better by 4th day of antibiotics, but I would feel dizzy , lightheaded and nauseous a few hours after using the nasonex. The one nostril burned, and then bled when i blew it. Day 5 and my uvula is covered in white spots as well as the back of my throat..... thrush i believe. Never had thrush before, but sure the nasonex caused it.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one here. After taking 2 sprays in each nostril for a month, I woke up with a swollen throat and hard to swallow. Thinking it was strep throat I went to doc and right away he said, "you have thrush". It was not a fun thing to have, it even went down my esophagus. The treatment for that was not fun either, sucking on big pills 5x a day for a week, they left the roof of my mouth sore. I think the manufacturer should pay for my side effect treatment, I was just an unsuspecting seasonal allergy sufferer.

For only three days I have been taking 2 squirts of Nasonex in each nostril once a day. At the end of day 3, I have developed terrible hand tremors (like Parkinson's) whenever I pick up a glass of water or something heavy.
I know it's from the Nasonex because I didn't have this ever before!
It's very scary. Also, I have had really confusing, freaky dreams at night.
It's going in the garbage!!!

Had sinus surgery that was a success in Feb. 2008. ENT said to use Nasonex, 2 squirts ea. nostril, twice a day for the rest of life. After one month I started having tremors in body and my hands would not stop shaking. I bought sinus buster over internet & think I will stop using the Nasonex.

I have been taking 2 squirts per day, per nostril of Nasonex for 6 weeks now. After one week, I noticed that I had 'air-hunger' (ie desire to breathe very deeply and finding breathing unsatisfying) and the urge to yawn repeatedly. This has got worse up to the current day and I have found that I have to stop using Nasonex as breathing has become distressing. Got checked out by my doctor who says I am physiologically ok.

I've also had more trouble seeing after using 1 spritz of Nasonex in each nostril once a day (for several months). I've also felt progressively more tired. Most concerning, and my reason for being here, is that I developed a Rosacea-like condition. My dermatologist dx'd me with mild Rosacea, which is unbelievable to me, as my family line has nothing like this in it. When I did a Net search on Rosacea, it mentioned that steroids can cause this condition. Also, Rosacea is progressive and can damage the eyes and even cause loss of vision. So, if you suspect that this nasal steroid is affecting your vision, I'd recommend getting off of it. Oral and nasal steroids can become systemic if taken for long periods of time. This is common knowlege in medical circles. I took myself off of Nasonex today and am already starting to feel better.
