| 1 | Potential sinus problem | EXTREME Anxiety, massive headache for days | So I had been having sinus issues for almost literally the past month. Had 3 ER visits for severe sinus pressure and 3 (unproductive) Dr. visits. One of the ER Doctors put me on flonase, so I took that and the first day I immediately had a headache on the entire left side of my head. On top of that, later that night I was eating dinner then all of a sudden I was sweating profusely, my heart was racing and I was having short breaths. I had to leave the restaurant and I realized that I was having some sort of panic attack. After I had calmed down, the headache was still lingering and lasted for about 2 additional days (and yes, I was taking ibuprofen) before it finally subsided, but it left me with my head feeling heavier than it did before. | M | 23 | 1 days 30 mg 2X day | 5/6/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Dry nasal cavity, headaches, contracting muscle and pain. Mood Changes, dizzy, anxiety,bDay dreams. | Stop using this drug. It isn't worth it. Waiting for all the side effects to wear off. | F | 57 | 1 months 200 1X day | 5/1/2016 | 1 | severe allergies | developed thrush from taking flonase almost daily for 6 weeks. Now, I've just finished a prescription for Nystatin tablets to clear the thrush, and it's still not gone. | My doctor gave me a sample of Dymista, which is a combination of astelin and flonase. It really helped my allergies, but the side effects from the medicine aren't worth it. I will find holistic ways to deal with my allergies including going on a food elimination diet in order to weed out a potential food sensitivity. I was scared I was losing my sense of smell, but I wonder if others could benefit from an anti fungal for an infection in the nose? My mouth infection isn't cleared, but my sinuses cleared a week after stopping flonase, and a few days of being on nystatin. | F | 38 | 6 weeks 50 mcg 1X day | 4/25/2016 | 3 | I had some fluid behind one eardrum | I started having a sore throat and mild headaches pretty much immediately after starting Fluticasone. I was also CONSTANTLY EXTREMELY TIRED. I've stopped taking the medication. I've taken Flonase before, but don't recall have these side effects. It's been 24 hours since I last took it and feel much better. I was told to put 2 sprays in each nostril once a day. | M | 63 | 10 days 50 MCG 2X day | 4/24/2016 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis | I used Flonase before but decided I'd try it again. Most nasal steroids had given me insomnia in the past, but for some reason, I thought this time, I'd only take it in the morning and use my Astelin at night and not have sleeping difficulties. No such luck. | Flonase clears my allergy symptoms like no other, but the accompanying insomnia is just not worth it for me. | M | 58 | 2 days 1 spray ea | 4/23/2016 | 1 | Post nasal thick mucus drip | 1st day I felt fine. 2nd day I had a severe anxiety attack and couldn't feel my hands. Took a Xanax my mom had and it subsided. All days extreme fatigue. Couldn't wake up. Insomnia all nights. When I did sleep I had night terrors. My bf is an emt and he was the one who connected the two for me after being awoken by my screaming in my sleep or my tossing and turning from insomnia. I've been off two days. Still can't sleep. | F | 30 | 4 days | 4/21/2016 | 1 | Allegies | Severe heart palpitations immediately after taking flonase before bed. Woke up with severe burning pain in my sinus, nose and throat. Jaw and teeth pain, cough and congestion along with headache. Will NEVER go near this product again. It should not be and OTC medicine. | F | 43 | 1 days 20 | 4/18/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme unbearable pain in both legs that began with using Flonase. Discontinued. After 2 days legs are feeling normal again | F | 54 | 2 weeks | 4/13/2016 | 1 | Rhinitis after a sinus infection | Extreme anxiety, insomnia, waking with shakiness and pressure in chest, tremors | should not be prescribed to people with a history of anxiety | F | 27 | 3 weeks 50 Mcg spr | 4/12/2016 | 1 | Blocked eusthacian tubes | My side effects have been horrible. I've had severe headache, nausea, anxiety, diarrhea, insomnia, jaw and teeth pain. If I had known of these possible side effects in advance, I never would have taken it: I will NEVER take this drug again. It's been a week since stopping and I still feel awful. I have hypothyroidism and some cold medicines can affect tsh function. God help me. | Take this steroid off the market. | F | 65 | 7 days 50mg | 4/12/2016 | 5 | Seasonal allergies | Headache, extremely fatigue, anxiety, depression, nose bleeding. This is terrible drug, not worth it at all, my nose is stuffed up more than before, BAD DRUG STAY AWAY! | M | 57 | 3 weeks | 4/10/2016 | 1 | Sinus headache | Severe nausea, vomiting, hypotension, anaphylactic type reaction, spent the whole day in bed recovering | F | 60 | 1 days 50 mcg 1X day | 4/10/2016 | 1 | severe skin rash on both arms | M | 76 | 15 days 50mg 1X day | 4/9/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Headache, anxiety, adrenaline rushes, disorientation, hypersensitive nervous system. I started feeling these symptoms on the first day of introducing this medicine, and while I am prone to anxiety, this stuff amplified it. I've been off of it for three days and my system is starting to calm down. The same thing happened last year when seasonal allergies started to kick in, but I thought I'd try it again to see if it would be different this year. Not so. So not worth it for me - this med was awful. I feel for the other folks here who described similar anxiety issues. I'm using saline washes and a nasal spray product with xylitol in it that clears out my sinuses pretty well with no side effects. | F | 43 | 5 days 50mcg | 4/6/2016 | 1 | Allergies/sinus | Anxiety, cough, dry eyes, senastivity to light, heart racing, shortness of breath, swollen lymph node, hives around face, nausea, dizziness, sore throat, dry mouth | The sad thing is I can breath through my nose but the side effects not worth it.. Hope the effects end soon | F | 41 | 3 days 2 shots | 4/5/2016 | 1 | sinus allergies | Anxiety and Depression | I have been on Prozac for more than 5 years. Flonase pretty much canceled the Prozac out. after a couple of Dr.s visits and a failed medication add-on i bumped into this website. I immediately stopped the use of Flonase. Within a few days I felt normal again. it has now been a mounth I will find other ways to deal with my sinus issues. | M | 50 | 4 months 100mcg 1X day | 3/27/2016 | 3 | Post nasal drip from allergies | Insomnia, Night terrors. | It worked great for allergies minus the unusual side effects. I had insomnia then when I would actually fall asleep I had night terrors. | F | 26 | 7 days 50 mcg | 3/26/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Extreme dizziness feel like I am falling and room spinning. Right knee pain out of no where. Irritable like never before. | Quitting taking it don't like the issues associated with this drug. | F | 62 | 2 months 50 mg | 3/25/2016 | 1 | Sinuses | I have been taking flonase for 2 years off and on. The last 2 months every day since my nasal surgery. I started off with just headaches, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Now it's everyday along with flushed, hot face, anxiety, vision problems, head pressure, neck pain, swollen lymph nodes, abnormal menstrual cycles, depression! I have seen so many doctors with no answers until I came across this site!! | Don't take flonase if you have any bad reaction to steroids!! | F | 35 | 2 years 30 mg | 3/20/2016 | 4 | Allergies | Off balance, anxiety, insomnia..(maybe that's my stomping neighbor above me) | Flonase with Allegra D I have absolutely no allergy symptoms. Nose running completely stopped. But it's still early Spring. Have to wait when it gets warmer. I will update. | M | 43 | 2 weeks 100mg 1X day | 3/18/2016 |
