| 1 | Sinus | I started to get migraines which I had never in my life had . I have been dizzy with migraines for 6 months now . I have gone to the ER twice , local Dr one, Primary Dr once , ENT Dr and now a Neurologist. I have had CT scan, MRI , Bloodwork , blood pressure checked , oxygen level checked . I have not had anything come back bad . I wish I could feel normal again . Do not take Flonase ! I have taken a few meds to help with the headaches and dizziness with no help . | M | 40 | 1 months 1xdaily | 10/16/2019 | 1 | swollen sinus | horrible. Immediately after spraying began feeling raving heart beat, agitation, sensitive to light, cold tingling hands. Like drinking 12 cups coffee. 3 days later anxiety came roaring back, light headed, no appetite, sense of doom, cold, shaky, could not sleep for an entire 16 hr period. Symptoms subsiding 24 hrs later. Hope | DO NOT USE. I read afterwards that flonase kicks in a few days later and can cause anxiety. I wish i been told this. I never would have taken it. | F | 48 | 1 days 30 mg | 10/16/2019 | 1 | Congestion allergies | Muscle pain great discomfort | M | 85 | 30 days 10mg | 10/9/2019 | 1 | seasonal allergies, congestion | intermittent pulsating headache at temples, heart palpitations, earache, sense of impending doom, anxiety, mood swings | M | 52 | 15 days 1 squirt 1X day | 10/8/2019 | 2 | Chronic congestion | Rapid weight gain, unstable moods, increased thirst and made RLS much worse | Took for 2 weeks, I’m only 5’0 and 100 lbs but within the first 3 days had loss of smell and gained 5 lbs, then came the sporadic heart palpitations, increased thirst, severe leg spasms, waves of flushing in face with nausea, extremely unstable moods (quickly agitated by the smallest things or feeling like crying for no reason) figured out by the end of the first week that it was all due to the Flonase since these were all extreme changes that started when I started using it and there wasn’t any other med changes, but I decided to keep going for another week to see if the side effects would subside since it was really helping my nose. Unfortunately side effects didn’t get any better and I couldn’t take feeling emotionally unstable anymore (felt like I was going through some crazy exaggerated version of PMS) very happy to be done with it and I’m fine dealing with my stuffy nose again. It’s pretty wild to realize all this was caused by a simple nose spray | F | 34 | 14 days 2 sprays | 10/6/2019 | 1 | To help with seasonal allergies | Woke up feeling like I would have a stroke. Horrible anxiety came over me. Heart papilations. Became afraid I would have a heart attack. Temperature dropped. Chills. Weakness Dizzy.. | I stopped taking it . | F | 57 | 2 days 50mcg | 10/5/2019 | 1 | rhinitis | Terrible anxiety and depression for days, couldn't figure out what was wrong. I have been having panic attacks since taking it, will never use it again. It didn't help my nasal congestion at all. | DO NOT USE IT. | F | 64 | 4 days 1X day | 10/2/2019 | 1 | Rhinitis | Within 15 minutes of my first dose, had a HORRIBLE panic attack. I have GAD and panic disorder but they have been under control for 2 years with medications. I haven’t had a panic attack in over 6 months. I take one dose of Flonase and it throws me into a panic attack??!! Unbelievable! It’s been 30 minutes since the panic attack passed but I still feel incredibly jittery. Anxiety is not a listed side effect for this drug but it certainly should be. Had it been listed, I wouldn’t have taken it! Never again! Not worth it. I’ll stick to my neti pot and eucalyptus oil diffuser. | F | 35 | 1 days 50 mcg | 10/1/2019 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis | Anxiety that came out of the blue. I had my day planned but then was unable to do anything because of crippling anxiety. The lights bothered me and sound, even the sound of boiling eggs. I had to close all the curtains and ended up taking a Lorazepam to calm me down and a hot bath. I felt like I've wasted the whole day. all my normal doctors have pushed Flonase on me and whenever I've told them I get side effects such as depression and now anxiety they just pooh-poohed my experiences like it was all in my head. this is so frustrating. I would rather deal with the sinus issues and use a Neti Pot or something like that even though it may not be as effective as Flonase, but I am out of my gourd when I'm taking this stuff and I feel angry for losing a day. As well as many other days that I've lost from using this stuff. | F | 67 | 0 months 2 squirts | 9/25/2019 | 1 | Rhinitis | Anger, mood swings, depression, feelings of worthlessness, no motivation. Started to notice immediately after spraying, felt like ‘roid rage’. Have been taking all summer with a lot of incidents of mood swings, one so significant I began investigating what could be the source of why I don’t feel myself... other reviews made me realize I’m not crazy | Do. Not. Use. | F | 28 | 4 months 2 sprays | 9/21/2019 | 5 | sinus problems | Terrifying nightmares, insomnia, adrenaline rushes, had to stop breast feeding due to having to get put on an antidepressant. lasted 4 weeks! had to stay on antidepressant for 2 months. never been on antidepressant before then. Wish I had never taken it! | F | 37 | 3 days | 9/17/2019 | 1 | Allergy | I take no other medications and i took it about 3 days ago and since then been having terrible extreme levels of anxiety to the point i have felt i went completely insane and had psychosis with ongoing thoughts I'm not in control of and a indescribable feeling of impending doom. I've had minor anxiety before but nothing compared to this. I highly don't recommend taking this if you have even a slight history of anxiety. Lavender has worked miracles to calm it down and keep it at bay. yet i still feel like I'm losing it 3 days after taking it. | M | 20 | 1 days 2 sprays | 9/14/2019 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | Increased anxiety. I suffer from general anxiety disorder and am on medication for that disorder. Upon starting to take flonase, my anxiety increased daily until I ended up with my worst anxiety symptoms since I started anxiety medication 4 years ago. I stopped flonase and 48 hours later, all was back to normal. | Beside that unfortunate side effect, Flonase did miracles for my allergies for those 3 days. | M | 46 | 3 days 2 sprays | 8/31/2019 | 1 | Allergy symptoms | High anxiety, panicky feeling, light headed upon standing. It did relieve my allergy symptoms though. | I started Flonase on monday. (4 days ago.) The prescription is 2 squirts in each nostril 2x a day. I only did 1 squirt morning and night at first to make sure it does my body okay. Around the 2nd day my allergy symptoms were better and today 5 days later they are wayyyy better. That's the positive. The good definitely doesnt not out weigh the bad for me. I have had increased anxiety and an overall panicky feeling. I didn't put the 2 together until I researched it and realized and read so many other people were experiencing the same symptoms. Last night going to sleep I was on the verge of a panic attack and my mind was going 90 to nothing. Also getting light headed stepping down from the bed or getting up. Please note this is the only medication I am taking. I am a healthy young adult and knew the anxiety was out of no where. It was a bit frightening for me. I have discontinued the Flonase and will never take it again. I just have mild allergy symptoms on occasions so I will be okay with out the medicine. Please speak to your doctor if you experience this it may not be the allergy medicine for you. (Also side note: I did the same on Prednisone for an ear infection a couple years ago. So steroids do not do my body any good) Good luck and listen to your body ♥️ | F | 28 | 4 days 2 squirts | 8/30/2019 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis, allergies | Severe anxiety, mood swings, runny nose, HAs, palpitations, worsening allergies, restless, insomnia, lack of appetite, depression, apathy | Thought this would work as advertised, with remission of all of my allergies. Nope! I am very sensitive to all antihistamines, can't take decongestants. My allergies worsened, my health plummeted, I am suicidal and feel like it will never stop. Been denied any relaxant, Drs call me hypochondriac and drug seeking. I thought Prednisone made me psycho, had no idea a combo if Flonase and Allergra was a major part if it. Quitting now, praying I get some joy back in my life. | F | 40 | 2 years | 8/23/2019 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Anger, irritability, feelings of anxiety, fatigue, weird dreams, insomnia. | Thought I was losing my mind. | F | 72 | 5 days Otc amount | 8/20/2019 | 1 | Allergies | Doctor recommended for seasonal allergies. Started having increased anxiety, pain in my arms and legs, sore throat, ear pain,light headedness and hot flashes. Glad I realized it was the drug and stopped it immediately. I already have bad anxiety that has been controlled and this just put me back over the edge!!!! | Would not recommend if you have anxiety disorder | F | 58 | 14 days 50 mg | 8/13/2019 | 1 | Sinus | Used Flonase for sinus based on recommendation from Dr., Two weeks in had heart palpitations, anxiety, muscle pain , brain zaps. They diagnosed me with GAD generalized anxiety disorder, they gave me anti depressants Zoloft and atvian, I took them for a week but I stopped, didn't make sense that suddenly I would have this disorder. I've been slowly getting better. I can't believe I didn't make the connection before. | 27 | 14 days | 8/5/2019 | 1 | Sinus inflammation | Horrible insomnia, anxiety, weakness, shaky, cheeks look sunburned. Worse medicine next to prednisone. Both equally as bad for these side effects. | F | 47 | 4 days 200 mg | 8/1/2019 | 2 | Allergies Sinusitis | Started Flonase for allergies and sinusitis. Worked great, I could breath, no runny eyes or sneezing. After a few days, started to get flu like symptoms. Didn't really pay any attention in the beginning, just thought it was age and resulting from the weather changes. My muscles, my bones and my joints were in pain. Stiff, sore and my skin felt like it was on fire. Over this last weekend, I was in tears, I couldn't move. Deciding if I should go to the ER, I ran thru may things, and realized the pain started shortly after I began using this drug. I stopped Saturday night, and by Sunday afternoon, I could already feel improvement with my muscles. I still feel extreme joint pain and am stiff to get around. I will be making an appt. with my PCP to discuss this situation. Hopefully the joint pain will subside shortly as well. I hope this is NOT a life long after effect. | I will NEVER use Flonase again. I'm just going to go back to my daily Clariton/Allegra D or Zyrtec | F | 57 | 2 months 2X day | 6/25/2019 |
