| 1 | emphysema | My breathing got much worse and I experienced anger and sadness. | F | 80 | 7 days 2X day | 3/24/2010 | 5 | Asthma | None | M | 79 | | 1/6/2003 | 3 | respitory, clear lungs | none | where to find information, doesn't appear to do anything, no generic equal, expensive. | M | 78 | | 12/24/2000 | 1 | Not.sure cough100 mcg | Tightness in chest, chronic dry cough, insomnia, diareha | I saw no difference until 6 days later. Very tight cough, tightness in chest, insomnia, shortness of breath, fatigue, gradually getting worse.rit | F | 74 | 6 days 100 mcg | 11/29/2019 | 4 | Asthma, COPD | No adverse side effects. | On reading, I see some doses appear excessive! The only complaint I had initially was sore throat, but rinsing very well with very warm water after each inhalation eliminates this problem. I also wish there was a magic bullet for our ailment!! | F | 73 | 10 years | 12/17/2008 | 3 | copd | thrush | F | 72 | 5 years | 7/10/2007 | 3 | COPD | Extremely dry mouth, cough, hoarseness, feeling something caught in my throat most of the time. Also anxiety and waking up with panic attacks. | This med works, but side effects hard to try and manage. No amount of fluids or candy, mints will keep hoarseness and dryness down. Will be changing med next week after seeing pulmonologist. | F | 70 | 7 months 110mcg 2X day | 8/5/2023 | 2 | Asthma | Cough | F | 70 | 4 weeks 30 2X day | 1/7/2024 | 5 | Asthma | Barely noticeable jitters, =/same as albuterol | NO OTHER competitor comes even CLOSE to doing the job and getting it done, over with. Rarely have to employ it again, even not next day. Express Scripts overs 3 alternate "solutions" that fail miserably - does not cover Flovent & denies appeals. | M | 67 | 20 years 110mcg 1X AN | 7/5/2016 | 5 | Asthma | None yet. It's good to be able to breathe well and have the energy I need to lead a normal life. Was always tired and sleeping 12 hours a day before... Now I am good on 8. | M | 67 | 4 days | 1/16/2012 | 1 | asthma | 10% weight loss, very easily and frequently bruised and bleeding from minor bumps and scratches, occasional depression, weakness in legs, feeling short of breath. | It worked on my asthma at first, but the side effects got worse and worse and became totally unacceptable. | F | 67 | 6 months 110mcg 2X day | 9/11/2014 | 1 | chronic cough | extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, brain fog, muscle aches, abdominal pain, weird dreams, mild depression, sleepy all the time, wheezing, dry tight cough, hypertension, increased glucose levels, numbness in leg and arm, inability to concentrate, blurred vision, weight gain | I have never experienced any of the "scary" side effects that are listed on Rx drugs. I always thought they were so crazy and could not believe that anybody would ever really experience such bizarre effects. Well I stand corrected. Never filled out something like this before but just had to add my two cent's worth to the discussion. This drug is making my life very different and I am only now connecting the dots. I have every intention of stopping this drug today and I will be very curious to see how my life changes. I cannot believe how adversely this drug has affected me. I am usually immune to all the side effects and actually don't even bother reading the "enclosed leaflet" which goes into great length to describe what MIGHT happen on this drug. I just didn't think it could happen to me BUT now I know that I am not immune - not to this drug. If you are experiencing any of these or similar symptoms - look to FLOVENT - don't dismiss them and don't think it's just you - it isn't. | F | 67 | 2 months 4X day | 12/13/2015 | 5 | Asthma | None | Have taken on and off over many years. It has been life saving. I would not be alive today without it. I have had no side effects. | 66 | 20 years 220 mcg 2X day | 4/10/2016 | 4 | Wheezing & coughing constantly | Extreme hair breakage | Hoarse voice but that appears to be normal. | F | 66 | 10 days 2X day | 10/4/2017 | 3 | asthma | Extreme GERD (acid reflux), excessive sleepiness, irritability, waking in the middle of the night (which is rare with me), anxiety. Thanks for all the comments. I thought it was the medication but I wasn't sure. | F | 65 | 21 days | 10/20/2007 | 1 | Allergies | Throat swelling shut..had to struggle and fight to breathe. | In the 2 weeks I tried this I had 3 episodes where I got choaked and COULD NOT inhale. I had to struggel and fight to breath in and made the most horriable noise trying. I was ALONE every time and terrified. I realized I had to figure this out fast or I would die.. After the third time, I realized this stuff was the only thing different in my life, haven't used it since and it hasn't happened again. I came here to see if this had happened to anyone else. This had never happened to me before and hasn't happened since. It actually felt like my throat swelled up and closed up. | F | 64 | 14 days 50 1X day | 5/15/2010 | 1 | Asthma | Anxiety really bad, aches and pain | F | 64 | 2 weeks 220 fha | 6/14/2020 | 1 | Copd | Unusual swelling in feet area and extreme hair breaking and hair loss. Very traumatic. | Will definitely stop using and would not recommend. | F | 64 | 5 months 125 mcg 2X day | 9/27/2020 | 1 | Asthma | Very dry cough, excruciating headache (probably from coughing so much) tickle in throat, trouble talking, air way construction & stomache ache. No trouble with digestion prior. | Called dr said to STOP taking | F | 63 | 2 days 110 mcg 2X day | 11/16/2020 | 4 | Asthma | Mild hoarseness | Branded as Flixotide which appears to be identical to Flovent. Two weeks since starting to use it my lungs don't feel fully open but neither have I had to use Ventolin for the first time in maybe 20 years. The effect on my voice is not pleasant. The effect on my speech has been to diminish its strength...it feels and sounds weak and soft. | M | 62 | 14 days | 12/8/2007 |
