| 1 | allergies | The steroids in it made me crazy, angry, unable to sleep, agitated, anxious. It was horrid. | It works like a million bucks--I couldn't even tell I had allergies at all, BUT as wonderful as that was, it is not worth feeling so totally out of sorts. I felt like I should go into seclusion until it wore off. | F | 45 | 3 days | 4/18/2002 | 4 | perrenial allergic rhinitis | Bloody nose, perticularly in winter | It works, but makes your nose prone to bleeding very easily | F | 42 | 4 years | 3/10/2003 | 4 | allergy | after spray into the nose, my nose start sneezing and have stuffy nose about 30 minutes. | this help me get rid of my stuffy nose and itching nose within 3 days. | F | 27 | 7 days | 6/12/2003 | 4 | stuffy nose; post-nasal drip | some blood in nasal lining | was warned of bloody noses - this started to happen so have currently quit the drug | M | 71 | 6 months | 10/7/2003 | 5 | chronic stuffy nose | None if I spray it correctly. I must spray toward the outside edge of each nostril, not toward the septum. I find that 1 squirt each side AM & PM works better than 2 in the AM only. | You have to stick with this medicine. It takes a few days to work, but once you get in the habit of using it, you won't need Afrin or other quick acting decongestants. | F | 57 | 2 years | 4/18/2004 | 5 | Allergies, | It has produced some red dots on the tip of my nose | Helped my main discomfort which was stuffy ears and swollen nasal passages during the April-October allergy season. | F | 49 | 5 years | 4/23/2004 | 5 | Allergies | Some nose bleeds. I was adviced to take it twice a day, but then reduced it to once a day (at night) and have no more nose bleeds. | I had a stuffy and runny nose all the time, was allergic to house dust and hooked on Otrivin. One puff in each nostril once a day helps me to feel normal again, I breathe easily and have no more sneezing in the middle of the night. Great! | F | 36 | 4 years | 4/28/2004 | 3 | seasonal allergies, sinus headaches | I too feel shaky and agitated on this medicine - it's physical more than emotional, though. I have noticed that I get stomach aches once or twice a day, which I didn't have like this before I started taking the medicine. I also got a bladder infection just a day after I started taking it, and I wonder whether flonase had something to do with it. The limited good side of flonase is that my sinus headaches have stopped, but the congestion is still there. It migrated to a different area of my sinuses. | F | 29 | 6 days | 8/21/2004 | 5 | stuffy nose and very water eyes | I've experienced very mild occassional headaches, not requiring aspirin. Since I've never had a headache without good reason, I attribute them to the drug. | This was self-prescribed ( | M | 61 | 5 months | 9/20/2004 | 3 | allergies | Flonase worked for the allergies, but now I have no sense of smell or taste. | M | 40 | 4 years | 9/20/2004 | 1 | seasonal allergies | While I experienced slightly improved symptoms after the first day of taking it, it was not at all worth it because it made me feel far worse. First, I experienced intense low back pain and got a bladder infection literally 36 hours after taking the first dose; I was doing nothing different in terms of diet and lifestyle except for taking flonase. Also, I became extremely constipated, and I have never been before - nothing for five days until I finally took laxatives. I also felt agitated like other raters, and had difficulty falling asleep at night. | Don't bother with this. Ask your doctor for a prescription for a tablet of some sort. If you search hard enough on the internet, you will find listings of side effects not included on the leaflet inside the flonase packaging, such as | F | 29 | 7 days | 9/20/2004 | 3 | seasonal allergies | none | Been taking for a week. Barely passable, but no side effects. Still debating whether to stay with it or try Allegra. | M | 45 | 7 days | 9/29/2004 | 4 | Allergies, congestion | Dry nose, some nosebleeds | I find that I am able to take the Flonase once every 2 or 3 days rather than every day and it is still effective. I've taken it on and off for a number of years. | F | 46 | 5 years | 11/10/2004 | 4 | allergic rhinitis | Increased appetite and extreme dry eyes. I'm normal weight with moderate dry eye syndrome. | Totally eliminated stuffiness and allergy symptoms, but had to stop using due to severe eye dryness. | F | 55 | 2 months | 11/10/2004 | 4 | Post sinus surgery | Flonase helped with decongetion after sinus surgery | M | 60 | 3 months | 12/23/2004 | 4 | allergies/frequent sinus headaches | Nose bleeds are very common. Sometimes immediately after using the drug a nose bleed developes. Even when just spraying one nostril - the other nostril will sometimes develop a nose bleed. | It does works incredibly well - no more headaches and I have had one cold in about 5 years....... | M | 48 | 8 years | 1/9/2005 | 1 | Sinus | Horrible nose bleeding with clots that pored from my nose! An immediate bladder infection of the worse kind! And I still have sinus problems! I never reacted to any kind of medication before and I have been told that I am quite tollarant. This nose spray must be some powerfull stuff to do all of this! If this is the only way to get rid of sinus...then I'll stick with the sinus! | F | 27 | 2 times | 1/13/2005 | 4 | chronic sinusitis | constipation after a week or two that wouldn't go away. Also, noticed some mood changes that were affecting my work. I got anxious very easily while on the drug. | When I first started taking the drug, it really worked well. I felt like I had more energy. There were a couple of times when I ended up having to take other meds in conjunction with the Flonase. I've stopped taking Flonase after 3 weeks of being on the drug because of the anxiety and the constipation side effects it gave me. | F | 28 | 21 days | 1/23/2005 | 3 | allergies | none | F | 30 | 10 days | 1/24/2005 | 1 | allergies | cataracts and bloody noses | I was just diagnosed with cataracts. I just turned 52, and have used flonase for the past couple of years. I had no idea cataracts are a side-effect of this drug until I read the label. Buyer Beware!! | F | 52 | | 2/6/2005 |

Fluticasone works by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the nasal passages. This can help decrease symptoms such as stuffy nose.
