 1  Post nasal drip Light headed, dizzy, migraines, growths in my nose, nerve pain/damage in nose, hands and feet, white tongue. This shit ruined my life. Took it once before years ago to clear up a sinus infection and it worked fine. Doctors recommended it for an annoying coughing problem and boy do I ever wish I could go back in time and be happy with just the coughing. It didn't help with that but I kept at it. Brain MRI, back MRI and a few Doctors appointments later I feel like my body is ruined. DO NOT TAKE THIS. M 48 6 months

 1  Nasal stuffiness at night Initially, Flonase gave me a bloody nose, which I ignored because it wasn't that bad of an effect to me. Then, one night, my life was changed forever when I woke up with the most horrendous vertigo and anxiety, and trying to sleep with this spinning feeling was impossible, which further shot up my anxiety. I also noticed the majority of my smell and taste was gone. I went to doctors about this and was told it was an ear infection or sinus infection, and that I should take more Flonase to fix it along with prednisone. This did nothing except make things severely worse. I couldn't take these side effects any more after a month of dealing with it, so I went to the emergency room a total of four times. They misdiagnosed me and ended up sending me home, finding nothing wrong each time. During this time I stopped the Flonase, and it was almost impossible for me to eat, sleep, drink, or walk balanced, and even relax, because my vision never stopped moving, and on top of that, life seemed hopeless and pointless (it gave me depression). My whole body became extremely weak, and my legs were giving out on me as I was walking, in addition to causing the most horrendous fatigue I have ever experienced. I was essentially comatose for several weeks. I hoped every day that time would pass quickly and I would recover, but I never did. In the following weeks, I noticed other things, like how lights now had Starbursts around them and my vision was now doubled, which I am assuming is becau From reading reviews of other similar nasal sprays on other websites, it seems that the primary reason that a lot of these side effects (shortness of breath, tremors, vertigo, loss of smell and taste, depression) happen is because of the preservative used in Flonase, which is benzalkonium chloride. This stuff is used to sanitize things in commercial settings because it is a very effective biocide. However, it is suspected that this compound is neurotoxic, respiratory toxic, immunotoxic, and gastrointestinal toxic. It is also important to note that you should not let this stuff just slide down your throat like I did; that allows this garbage to be absorbed systemically and cause more damage than if it was just used in your nose. Quite a severe lesson to learn. M 22 2 months

 1  Allergies Horrible drug. Eye pain, eye twitching, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, loss of sleep, stomach pain, headache and itchy eyes and scalp. I was about to see a neurologist until I realized I had seen the twitching eye in someone else who swore by Flonase. I started reading and realized all of these symptoms were connected. I threw it in trash two days ago and have already started feeling better. Also apparently causes irreparable damage to eyes. DO NOT USE! This toxic drug should be banned. F 39 10 days

 1  Severe allergies Headaches, dizziness, severe eye pain, leg pains, lethargic. My daughters physician suggested we use children’s Flonase for her seasonal allergies as they progressively worsened. This has been the worst experience with any over the counter drug!!! I cannot believe this medication is on the market. It cleared up her allergies the first couple of days however, after 3 days use she began feeling weak, having unexplained chills and shaking, Sever eye pain, and dizziness!!! Not to mention it weakens the immune system. I have never been so upset, especially because it’s my young daughter having to go through this!!!! F 7 5 days

 1  nasal congestion,seasonal allergies Elevated blood pressure, irritability, vertigo, blurred vision, headache, leg cramps, nausea, confusion I was happy at first when I started Flonase when my congestion cleared, and I could breathe through my nose for the first time in years. After the first week my health deteriorated. I noticed the strength of my reading glasses wear no longer strong enough, but didn't think too much of it and figured I needed to go up a prescription. Next my vision became so blurry, it was hard to use my cellphone most days. I was constantly in a fog and dizzy. The final blow was my blood pressure skyrocketing to 165/110 at work and feeling like I needed to go to the E.R. I had a stroke in my 30's and felt like I was having TIA attacks. After three days of insane blood pressure spikes it FINALLY dawned on me it was the Flonase. I stopped the Flonase and my blood pressure came back down to 110/72. I thought I was going to stroke out on this stuff. NEVER AGAIN! Lot's of pressure in my head, confusion, vertigo, and anger! I'm usually a laid back person, but this drug made me angry and my body temperature always felt like I was burning up. Awful experience. F 49 3 weeks
