Has anyone experienced nightmares as a side effect of taking Nasonex?
I was just recently prescribed Nasonex and the past two nights I have had really bad nightmares. I think it's the Nasonex because I rarely dream at all let alone nightmares! I was so scared I didn't want to go back to sleep. And I'm 27 years old!!!!
I myself don't have allergies but my doctor prescribed it with my antibiotic. He said it would help drain out my sinuses and releive pressure. I wasn't really suffering from sinus pressure or a runny nose, but I am now!

I've never had nightmares when using nasonex, and I can't see how they could cause nightmares. They are just a steroid (very small amounts) that you inhale through the nose, they have no mind altering effects. Whilst taking Seroquel (an anti psychotic) I experienced nightmares, but they are powerful drugs that affect the brain. Why are you using Nasonex? If its for an allergy or for nasal polyps it may be that the drug is allowing you to breathe easier though your nose, therefore you are having a deeper, dreaming sleep.
I would suggest mentioning this to a pharmacist or doctor, it may be that you are allergic to it. Good luck
Source(s): *edit* that is odd to prescribe it as an add on for an antiobiotic. A steroid may actually make an ifection worse, if you have an ifection in your nose it will supress your immune system making it worse. Nasonex is contraindicated for use when there is an infection present. It is not used to relieve pressure or clear out your sinuses. I'd stop taking it if I were you.
