 1  Non allergenic rhinitis Fatigue, aches, blurry visions, panic attacks, anxiety, difficulty breathing, muscle tension, stomach aches, added head pressure, headaches, sore throat, low sex drive, brain fog, heart palpitations, insomnia I took it for three months straight and had no idea it could produce these symptoms. My rhinitis was real bad and needed something to help. I took magnesium everyday while on flonase and the symptoms still occured. I got a lot of blood work done and my doctor told me I'm incredibly normal with all tests. If it hadn't been for these reviews idk if I would have gotten off of it. It's been one week since I have been off of the floanse and I'm still not 100% but I noticed a lot of symptoms have subdued. M 30 3 months

 1  Allergies Anxiety, heart palpitations, brain fog(can't concentrate and recollection is off), stomach aches, slight nausea/dizzy. After 15 days off of it, I still get brain fog, stomach ache and minor anxiety. Heart palpitations and dizziness went away. Can someone email me and advise me how to beat this if they've been through it? This is just rough to go through. When do side affects go away if I've been using for about 5-6 weeks M 26 40 days

 1  Stuffy Nose I got home from work with a semi stuffy nose. First thing I usually do before work and after work is Check my blood pressure. It was a challenge over the last few months to finally get it under control. I quit smoking, cold Turkey. Went on a diet and no more caffeine for me. No Tea, coffe, soda, chocolate or anything that remotely has caffeine in it. I've had SVT since I was 10 yo and all of those things I mentioned, help trigger it. Well long story short, I grabbed the flonase I just purchased from Walgreens and sprayed too sprays in each nostril. Everything seemed ok. I was standing at my kitchen counter checking my bank account for about 5 minutes the all hell broke loose. My Heart fluttered then started skipping beats. I Coughed really abruptly to see if I could force my Heart back into rhythm and it worked. I almost went into SVT mode. My heart immediately started raising and beating hard. Now when I took my blood pressure moments before taking flonase, I was 107/72 pulse 68. Amazing blood pressure. After the Flonase and that attack following it I was 149/110 pulse 98. I immediately took my blood pressure medicine which already took in the morning LOSARTAN 50mg and my other med. METOPROLOL 50mg to slow my heart rate. When things settled down almost an hour later My blood pressure went down 128/82 pulse 80. Now those arent bad numbers but Ive been at 104 to 108/ 70's pulse 67 to 78 so this flonase scared the daylights out of me and know my good numbers way off. All from 2 Maybe it doesn't affect everyone negatively, or that dont know when their having side effects, but flonase really jacked me up for an hour or so. M 44 1 days

 1  Congestion After just one dose, I immediately experienced horrible side effects. My tongue swelled, chest tightened and it became hard to breath. I developed extreme anxiety, which I've never before experienced, and migraines. The symptoms lasted 7 days and are just finally improving. Do not take if you experience allergic reactions to steroids. This is the worst I've ever felt. My anxiety included feeling like I couldn't live any longer which is not a feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I just felt out of control and helpless. F 48 1 days

 1  Possible adenoid infection I took Flonase when I was around 21 years old. It gave me anxiety, panic attacks (I dont get panic attacks ever), irritability, rage. After taking it for a while one day i started having trouble with my eyesight. I noticed floaters and the muscles of my eyes were pulling inward and I was having trouble focusing. I could see my nose in my field of vision constantly, it was very uncomfortable. My eyes felt cross-eyed with a lot of eye muscle tension. I got off the Flonase and my whole face felt tremendous tension. The tension dissipated in the following 6 months not being on flonase and my eyes got a lot better. I saw an eye doctor who could find nothing wrong. I was left with alittle bit of lingering eye tension that would not improve for like 8 years!!!! I said that if I ever figured out how to fix it I'd write a review. So here I am years later! What I did to cure the rest is i totally changed my diet to fruit, vegetables, grains, fish, etc and cut out all processed food, sugar, hidden sugar, bad fats. etc. I took a jacked up multi vitamin, fish oil, and very high doses of magnesium!!!!! Magnesium is the key!!!! The muscle tension around my eyes began to fade away while doing this. Miracle! I have always had issues drinking alcohol (hypoglycemia runs in my family) and it would lead to fibromyalgia pains throughout my body (thinking due to low magnesium). This is what I think flonase did..it could have dropped my magnesium extraordinarily (low magnesium causes tight muscles) and caused the muscles in my face to tighten. A lot of drugs drop magnesium and drop other vitamins. Our soil is very magnesium deficient nowadays. Blood tests do not accurately pick up on magnesium levels in your body as the test tests for blood levels when most of your magnesium is stored in your tissues. Diet and vitamins cured the damage from flonase and also cured the fibromyalgia i was living with for years. Youd be amazed how much you are what you eat. I was shocked F 31 6 weeks

 1  Rhinitis Everyone here has put into words what I have been trying to explain to my poor family for months. I finally tweaked that the horrendous night terrors, (like being in another realm) disassociation, warped confusing thoughts have been caused by this all along. Only because I stopped for a few weeks and started again when rhinitis came back and I had hideous mental state return. Finally put 2 and 2 together. I'm so worried for the people out there who feel like they have schizophrenia but actually its this over the counter nasal spray!!! Let's hope these side effects are added to the leaflet soon.

 1  Allergies, congested nose HORRIBLE!! I used to take this a few years ago and never noticed huge side effects. Had terrible congestion again and decided to use it again. This time I've had my heart racing nonstop the last few days and especially at night. It never gets below 100! Terrible body aches, like my entire spine hurts. My muscles are tight from head to toe and terribly painful. Insomnia! Haven't slept, been waking up with my heart racing all night. Head hurts terribly. Chills, terrible anxiety. Dizzy upon standing. I didn't put two and two together until I read this site. It's only thing new I've taken in the last few days. Hope it gets out of my system soon! It will be going in the trash! This stuff should be taken off the market! Absolutely miserable! Trying real hard to stay out of the ER but this stuff is making it hard. Definitely one of the worst experiences ever. Do not take it! Although it unstuffed my nose and helped with allergies. The benefits don't out weigh the side effects here. I'd rather suffer with nasal issues and use a neti pot. F 38 3 days

 1  Sinus relief Severe Panic attack, anxiety, heart throbbing, head throbbing, Took this twice because my sinuses were congested. First time i didn't make the connection but the second time this panic attack came from, I thought I was dying and I knew it was the Flonase. It was the worst thing I've ever experience. I thought I was dying. This stuff is bad. I've never had panic attacks and now I'm terrified that they'll come back. F 26 7 days

 1  Seasonal allergies Negative thoughts, irritability Did the formula change?? Have used for years in the winter for season allergies. It has affected my mood in the past, but not this bad. I took a spray per nostril every other day for a total of 2 or 3 times. The depression-like effect hit quickly, but I didn't realize it was due to the Flonase right away. It really works for allergies, but not worth the side effects. So glad I found this forum. F 5 days

 1  Seasonal hayfever This site and another has saved me. I used Flonase in the past with no side effects. But over the past year I started getting unexplained shortness of breath and heart palpitations which I went to a cardiologist. Never in my mind did I think it was Flonase. I finally put it all together after I thought I had COVID but two neg tests. In short I had all the symptoms other people had. Shortness of breath the most troublesome and thoughts of feeling like I was dying, jittery, you name it. Well, last week in the middle of thinking I had potential Covid I ran out of Flonase. I didn't take it for four days. The "COVID" symptom got better and then I took Flonase again yesterday morning. And All OF A SUDDEN shortness of breath returned, dizziness, everything!!!!' I went online and suddenly found all these other testimonials. I am going to a new doctor next Friday and will definitely bring this up. My current doctor NEVER even brought up the possibility. I am feeling better this morning but I am sure it will take a week to fully recover again. I have thyroid issues and intermittent asthma so should never have been told to take this crap. Just reading other people's experience is helping reduce my feelings of dread and anxiety. DONT TAKE IT F 49 12 months

 1  Allergies Horrible! Made me sick to the point I had bronchitis, I never coughed used this spray for years on and off. After the first year I started feeling exhausted all the time, tired and started to get chronic sinus infections. My doctor would say is hay fever. Ongoing antibiotics until last year when I got a sinus infection followed by a cold, a nasty 4 week flu I almost died, spit blood for 3 months and bronchitis. (Side effect of long term Flonase- I do not smoke). Then, my husband reminded me the previous doctor said to not use the spray when he prescribed allergy meds and saw how sick I was. I had no idea what this spray was, thinking it was innocent. He prescribed me 2 medications for allergies in which until now I HAVENT GOTTEN SICK. I went to an allergist last week here in Naples FL, who is so agaisnt prescription medication but so pro this steroids spray, I told her my issues, I told her I used this spray, i and no idea yet that this spray was dangerous. She recommended a trial. I start taking half my allergy meds, and start the spray again, 3 days later I am exhausted, I wake up with a fever, I cannot work, it is thanksgiving week now and I am in bed. I stopped this venom on Saturday, today is Monday. Im pumping up my immune system and feeling a bit better and I called her to let her know this spray is horrible on the body. Its steroids! On top of meaning you fat and sick. Anyone with a PHD would not give a patient who has had horrible sickness a steroids spray and put her back on it. I found out THIS SUPPRESSES OF THE IMMUNE F 40 5 years

 1  Rebound congestion from Afrin Anxiety, insomnia, jaw pain/tension, lost sense of smell and taste, bad taste in mouth, aggression, irritable I starting taking prescription Flonase because I was using Afrin for 9 months straight causing rebound congestion. The first night I used it, I had one of the worst panic attacks of my life (I have chronic anxiety) and was crying uncontrollably and hyperventilating. I used it sparingly for a few weeks because I could not stop using Afrin. About a week and a half ago I went cold turkey off Afrin and started using the Flonase frequently. I can not fall asleep at night and if I wake up I can not fall back asleep, I get random bouts of serious anxiety, my mouth always tastes bad and in the past few days I have had no appetite because I cannot taste what I am eating, I have tension in my jaw that I have never experienced before, and I have been much more irritable and get aggressive randomly even though I am usually a pretty calm person. I finally googled Flonase anxiety because I have not dealt with anxiety this bad in a while, and I find all this. Worst of all, it does not even help my congestion. So I cannot sleep, cannot breathe, cannot taste anything, and cannot feel relaxed. Why did my doctor put me on this when he knew I have chronic anxiety?? F 19 30 days

 1  Allergies Shortness of breath, panic attack, anxiety, disorientation Do not take ! Flonase induced me into a panic attack which I never had & had my heart racing at 170 bpm. If you have to use it follow directions carefully & don't over use. M 22 2 months

 1  Seasonal allergies Shaking, flu-like symptoms, anxiety, panic, heart palpitations, feeling blue If you have an adverse reaction similar to what you see here, you NEED magnesium. Flonase depletes magnesium (and likely potassium, too) which is essential to staying calm and relaxed. Contact me if you have questions- there is a way to fix what happened and move past these side effects. M 26 40 days

 1  sinus congestion Chest tightness, difficulty breathing, difficulty grounding, dread, panic, negative thoughts, loss of appetite and insomnia that started almost night one. Absolutely do not recommend Flonase. It should be illegal. I am going to make it my life goal to make sure everyone knows the potential side effects. The chest tightness alone induced shakes and panic attacks Nevermind the pain in nose and brain fog. Terrible anxiety. F 33 7 days
