| 5 | Allergies | None | This stuff has helped me tremendously! I have been so miserable for years - - take daily Zyrtec or Clariten but they were never enough. This spray was a godsend for me - it cleared up my runny nose/congestion/sneezing very quickly. I feel SO much better! These other reviewers must be super-sensitive......you'd think it was some kind of hallucenagenic or something - just a steroid spray and it works great for regular peeps w/bad allergies. | F | 54 | 1X day | 2/27/2013 | 4 | dRY EYE SYNDROME INCREASED and rash on frehead | F | 68 | | 9/2/2007 | 4 | allergies | not sure looking | M | 10 | | 11/10/2008 | 4 | allergies | works well for me but rx cheaper than otc (for me) | F | 42 | 1X day | 9/18/2016 | 3 | allergies | all of a sudden I was "starving" for air, couldn't get a good breath. I would have to yawn to get air. made me very sleepy. Dr. said anxiety and put me on meds, didn't help so went to another dr., he said I had bronchitis and gave me meds. I literally thought I was going to die because I couldn't get enough air. I quit using the Flonase because my sinuses were better and the problem went away too but I didn't put the two together. I just started using it again and shortness of breath and "starving" for air is back. I'm done. | The first time maybe a month or two. This time a few weeks. | F | 43 | 50 1X day | 6/12/2015 | 3 | | 11/14/2005 | 3 | sinus pressure/ chronic nosebleeds | Slight loss of smell, gave me headaches when I could smell, especially something rank. Hard or unable to focus after dose. | M | 23 | 2X day | 9/22/2011 | 2 | Nasal allergy symptoms | Headaches every day, fatigue, no improvement in allergy symptoms, brain fog | I have been taking this for five days and feel worse than I did before I started. Every morning I have woken up with a bad headache and needed to take Tylenol or Motrin. I am very fatigued and feel like I could sleep all day, along with feeling spaced out. My nose has a burning sensation inside and I still have tons of drainage. I'm going to stop taking this, definitely not helping. | F | 44 | 50 mcg 1X day | 1/15/2016 | 2 | Nasal Congestion | I immediately felt unusual when I took flonase, before bed. I felt a little woozy. Then the anxiety hit... OH MOMMA... It felt like i couldn't breathe .. shortness of breath and the entire time I woke up about 6 times and each time, i felt as I as going to die. So much I called my sister to tell her.. I may not make it. It's a horrible experience. Never taking this again. | It did help with nasal congestion.. but the side of effects aren't worth it. It's like those commercials that describe the horrible side effects.. nausea.. depressions, anxiety, short of breath, feeling of impending doom, can't sleep, can't breath... yeah.. NOT WORTH IT. | M | 40 | 1X day | 4/13/2020 | 2 | Pulsatile Tinnitus | Immense head pressure, headaches (migraine, sinus, tension, cluster, and neck), pain in cheek bones, tingling through left side of body, fingers, and toes, left side body falling asleep for no reason, pins and needles, muscle twitching, eye pain, ear pain and pressure, neck stiffness and tightness, anxiety from all the above symptoms | Was supposed to use Flonase for 3 weeks 2 sprays per nostril. It provided relief for a few days for my PT. But my health drastically went downhill. The 4th and 5th day after stopping Flonase I started experiencing numbness, pins and needles, and tingling on top of headaches. Went to the urgent care and the doctor ordered an MRI. Fortunately, the results came back normal. Not sure if all the side effects were caused by Flonase but reading about other people who had a similar experience gives me some reassurance. Still need to get to the bottom of what's causing my PT. | F | 35 | 50 1X day | 7/10/2023 Patient History | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Used this for a few days . 1 spray In each nostril. That evening started feeling very anxious, nervousness, can't concentrate.chills, Nausea, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, eyes feeling heavy , tightness in chest,acid reflux | M | 43 | 1X day | 9/21/2023 Patient History | 1 | Support | I have recovery testimony from people that have been through this. I try to reach out to everyone, but some never respond or don't include the email option. If you email me, I will send what I have to you. | M | 1X day | 12/1/2022 Patient History | 1 | Post Nasal Drip | Agitation, irritability, dry throat, cough, brain fog/spaciness, mild head, on the verge of a panic attack, but sleepy. | F | 44 | 50 1X day | 3/12/2023 | 1 | Support | Support those suffering from the side effects with information. | Looking to start some sort of support group. New people to this post if you could come back later and email me when your better and tell your story I’ll keep it on file and send it to the new people. For the people that still follow this post like I have for 4 years if you could write down your story of how this affected you then I could send it to the new people. Please include your age. Symptom’s, duration of use and most importantly how long it took you to get better. These people need to know they will get better. Sometimes it takes a while. Thank you. | M | 61 | 1X day | 8/15/2022 | 1 | Doctor recommended | I'm no longer taking this medication. | M | 36 | 400mg 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Allergies, Nasal Inflamation | Disassociation, transient global amnesia, pressured speech, disorientation, anxiety, panic | Within 10 hours of 1st dose, had a strange psychotic episode (depersonalization, derealization) that completely spooked me. Thought I was having a stroke or seizure. Symptoms listed above were the acute symptoms of the psychotic episode. Day 2-5, the above symptoms intensified. New symptoms of adrenaline surges, night wakening to fight/flight, intense fear (of being alone, of leaving the house, of driving, etc.), dark, intrusive thoughts - completely irrational. Thought I was going crazy! I did a Google search of side effects and initially found the common side effects before finding this blog. So many of the posts resonate with me. My doctor had never heard this before. Feeling crazy again not getting any affirmation from my doctor. By this point my mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, a sort of low buzzing in my head - feeling like I was in a tunnel, and not being able to remember what I just said 2 minutes ago were debilitating. I stopped cold turkey. This is STEROID PSYCHOSIS!! Look it up. You will find the medical info. That confirms everything people have described in this blog. This has medical and psychiatric diagnoses with ICD-10 and DSM codes that doctors can bill for. I’m sharing this so you can research the medical side. It helps to have a name for this horrible event. Please be encouraged and take good care of you. Though some people suffer the effects permanently, most fully recover. My thoughts and prayers | F | 57 | 1X day | 12/8/2022 | 1 | Support | Looking for support from those that have been affected from Flonase that have recovered. I’m sure many revisit these posts. If you could briefly tell your recovery story and post it on here for others or email it to me to send to those requiring it, that would be very helpful to the new people. Please list how long you took it. How long it took you to feel better and any tips or suggestion that made recovery better. Any info would help. | 1X day | 11/14/2022 | 1 | Support | Support Group | Support Group for Flonase........ https://discord.gg/rTJ9Dn7fCp ......Copy / paste link in browser. Lots of information and people like yourself to talk with. | M | 62 | 1X day | 11/24/2023 | 1 | allergy | floaters in my eye !!!! my son got sent to a cancer doctor b/c his white platelet count dropped to 40K (200K and above is normal). I has chest pain too. My husbands blood pressure went way up. All of these are verified effects. This drug should be illegal!!! Mayo clinic links blindness to this as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 49 | otc 1X day | 8/25/2015 | 1 | Eustachian Tube Dysfunction | anxiety, itchy and tender scalp, severe pinching/burning headaches, tingling and nerve pain in hands and arms, hot skin | The first time I used this drug I had also just changed birth control so I thought that my symptoms were brought on by hormonal changes (and maybe some of them were)... but after using this product again and beginning to feel the same burning, itching, and headaches surfacing again I think it may have actually been the Flonase. I am NOT a fan of this stuff and am quitting it immediately. Terrible, will never take again! I'll stick to the saline sprays! | F | 27 | 1X day | 8/30/2015 |
