1 | Asthma exacerbation | Experiencing chest tightness, rashes, irrability, mood swings, tingling my lips and tongue, Dizziness, I'm having to get on my machine more. I even ended up in then hospital. Because of my chest pain. And asthma. I never had a asthma attack before. I just had bad allergies and respiratory infections. My dr put me this Because when I get sick. I start wheezing. And thought this would be a good idea. But all of a sudden I had a full blown asthma attack out of nowhere. I will be stopping this inhaler. And see how it goes. | I am 3 years cancer free. And had to have a ctscan. And my chest was fine. Now I have to see a allergist. And other drs. I know I am allergic to dust mites. And little things. But that never brought on. Asthma attack. | F | 46 | 3 months 100mg 2X day | 2/18/2024 | 1 | Allergic Asthma | Constant cough and throat clearing, loss of voice and hair loss. Side effects like Ive never seen before in a medication. | F | 57 | 2 months 2X day | 11/8/2022 | 1 | Asthma/year round allergies | Irritable, restless, trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, angry outburst, emotional outbursts, extreme anxiety, daydreaming or blank stare | My son is autistic but is a loving and sweet boy with minimal behavior problems this inhaler has turned him into an enraged child who just wants to cry or hit someone. I told his pediatrician and she said she thinks it's his "autism" making him feel that way. I just took him off the medication a day ago and he's back to his loving and affectionate self I have my sweet baby back. Please don't give this to your child | M | 4 | 1 months 2X day | 10/25/2022 | 1 | Asthma | My son has been taking flovent from 9 months of age until 18 months. He has been diagnosed on the Autism spectrum after taking flovent for months. He had delays in speech, sensory issues, stimming, not following directions, etc.. I stopped his medication and now at the age 2 he is speaking, interacting socially and blossoming all around. He does not have ASD. It was the medication! | Use with Caution | M | 1 | 1 years 2X day | 8/17/2022 | 1 | I am a life long asthmatic decided to give Flovent a shot per "doctors" recommendation. Bad experience with Flovent constant lose of voice, always feeling like I need to clear my throat. I also had bad mood swings angry and easily agitated. The worse part is I keep getting sick whilst on this junk and I hardly ever got sick prior to starting this poison. As I got sick my lungs felt like they where destroyed. Terrible experience for me don't recommend!! | M | 40 | 4 months 30 2X day | 5/12/2022 | 1 | Virus induced chronic cough | Aggression, violent outbursts (sometimes for no apparent reason), extreme emotional outbursts, extreme irritability, self-harm, self-loathing, defiance, hyperactivity. | As many other parents described, the side effects of this medication have been horrible. My now 4 year old was prescribed this when he was still 3 for a chronic cough. It eventually helped with the cough but turned him into a violent emotional basket case. He started hitting me and his dad many times a day (he was only rarely violent previously, a normal amount for a 3 yr old dealing with transitions) and started hitting his baby brother (something he had never done before). He also started saying that he wanted to be hurt and that he was bad and had just been born that way. After 2 months on this medication I think he has internalized these angry impulses and lack of self control and decided he's a bad person. I didn't put it together that it could have been this medication until a few days ago (after reaching out to a pediatric psychologist, private behavioral consultant and considering blood sugar or food sensitivities as possible causes) I think it's criminal that these side effects are not on the pamphlet that comes with this medication doesn't list these possible side effects. And the most infuriating thing is that when I told his doctor (the one who prescribed the inhaler) I thought this was the cause of the behavior problems he dismissed it and told me he thought my son should be evaluated for high functioning autism and ADHD and we should consider an ADHD medication. All this for a kid who h | M | 4 | 2 months 2X day | 3/20/2022 | 1 | Post Covid | Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, sternum flutters, extreme anxiety that on the 4th day causes a full on panic attack crying uncontrollably for an hour. Nights 2 & 3 I had harmful thoughts at bedtime which was incredibly scary. | Prescribed for post Covid upper respiratory inflammation that has not gone away in over a month since infection. I would not recommend this medication. So many adverse effects. | F | 34 | 4 days 110 mcg 2X day | 1/16/2022 | 1 | Asthma | Anxiety extremely worsened with this puffer | M | 5 | 90 days 50 2X day | 1/15/2022 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | I dont like it. It seemed to help my breathing at first. But now im beginning to have tightness in my chest, sore throat, hoarseness, SOB, tired, muscle aches, leg cramps, headaches and just a sense of feeling unwell. | I tried Symbicort and that was worse but this isnt going to get it either. I also use my rescue inhaler more often. | F | 45 | 10 days 120 2X day | 1/4/2022 | 1 | Reactive airway disease | I don't even know how to feel! I've recently become extremely paranoid, having mild hallucinations, and having panic attacks every single morning because my reality has become warped on this medication! I can't even participate in conversation anymore because I'm just staring off into space thinking about how s*** I feel. I'm usually really upbeat and positive but my personality has done a full 180, I feel like I'm not myself anymore. I have always been “immune” to side effects from everything but this is another level of messed up. This stuff is straight up poison. After reading all these reviews I am definitely quitting this garbage. Do NOT take this stuff, LORD. | The doctors don't even know what's wrong with me yet and they prescribed me this! What in the world! | F | 22 | 2 weeks 220 2X day | 10/21/2021 | 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 | 1 | Asthma | My daughter started this last week and her mood and behaviors have been awful. Moody, angry and aggressive. She has anxiety and we finally got it down and her anxiety med down and she has been stable for months and months, until this medication. She won't be taking it anymore. This drug is bad and it is very bad for my child. | F | 10 | 8 days 2X day | 11/5/2020 | 1 | Copd/asthma | Anxiety, anger, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, chest pain, shoulder pain, diarrhea. | I've been off of it for 3 days now and I'm still freaking out. It really did nothing for me but fuck my life up. This is a very dangerous drug to give to people with a history of mental illnesses. | M | 35 | 5 days 44mg 2X day | 10/9/2020 | 1 | Asthma | Extreme anxiety and panic attacks | As soon as I stopped taking this medication my anxiety was gone within 24 hours. | F | 41 | 8 months 110 mcg 2X day | 10/5/2020 | 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 | Severe anxiety, Chest tightness and pain, increased shortness of breath, panic.

Little things set him off. | M | 4.5 | 4 days | 2/11/2020 | 1 | Asthma | Kept getting bronchitis and sinus infections on Flovent. Weakened my immune system. Whenever I got sick, made my lungs way worse. Which was quite ironic. Awful experience. Finally started seeing a naturopath who tapered me off the inhaled poison, and am now managing my lungs with botanical medicine which works amazing and has zero side effects! Dont take this, see a naturopath instead and actually heal your lungs. | F | 34 | 6 months | 1/25/2020 |
