| 1 | Allergies | Headaches, depression, severe anxiety, low motivation | Do not take this drug. Absolutely awful. So glad I found the resources I did before I took it longer than I had. I had good mental health before I took this, I did have issues in the past with depression and do have anxiety issues but this crap exacerbated it tenfold. I didn't want to leave my house. I had crazy panic attacks one after another, was terrified to be separated from my partner, couldn't focus on anything or even be motivated to do my homework or walk my dogs. Do not take this stuff. If you're on it stop taking it immediately, drink electrolytes, drink water. Take magnesium find something else that won't send you into a deep depression. | F | 26 | 21 days 50 2X day | 2/25/2025 | 1 | Sinus infection minor | STAY AWAY!!! I took this product for 15 days for a sinus infection. From day one, I experienced headaches, dizziness, ringing in my ears, and anxiety like you would not believe. It made me feel super sick, and I kept thinking it was just me. Finally, I came across these reviews here and on Reddit, and I realized it was the Flonase! I took myself off the medication, and that's when the nightmare started: severe panic attacks, insomnia, and heart palpitations at 2:30 And I couldn't get my heart rate down! The anxiety is so bad. I feel so disconnected from my family and the world. Before all this, I had no history of extreme anxiety. I was an upbeat guy, loved hanging out, and was always up for any adventure. This medication has turned my life upside down. I feel like I’m fighting a demon inside me and praying it goes away soon! I’ve been off it for 5 days now and am seeing small wins, but I’m still fighting. This site gives me hope. This stuff is poison—stay away from it. I’ve seen others say detox can take anywhere from a week to a few months. I hope mine is sooner because I only took it for a short time. | Extreme anxiety! Panic attacks, crazy heart palpitations, pressure in the back of the head, ringing in the ears, headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, and a feeling of disconnection from the world. | M | 44 | 15 days 55 1X day | 12/11/2024 | 1 | Allergies | I'm no longer taking this medication. This stuff is absolute poison for your mind and body. Some people are able to use it without issue, but for many others it causes paranoia, insomnia, intense anxiety and OCD, and many other serious issues. Takes time to resolve once you get off this chemical but it does eventually get better once you heal. | M | 30 | 1X day | 12/9/2024 Patient History | 1 | Eustachian tube dysfunction | Intense anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations, GI problems, sweating, lightheadedness, dizziness, vertigo, tingling in hands, fatigue | After suffering from panic attacks multiple times a day for a week straight (with zero prior history of panic attacks and no triggering event in my life) i realized the only thing that's changed is this medication. Stopped taking it five days ago and symptoms are slowly improving. I thought i was losing my mind. Terrifying. | F | 28 | 30 days 1X day | 12/2/2024 | 1 | Dust mite allergy | Sharp sinus pains, continuous stuffy nose, anxiety, headaches, insomnia, migraines, loss of smell, decrease in taste, burning sensation in sinuses, blurry vision, occasional blood from my nose, highly inflamed nose/puffy and red, pain in sinus cavities under eyes | I have been taking Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once a day as directed by many doctors over the years. I suffer from mild dust allergies and for the past 10 years I've been battling extreme anxiety, a permanent blocked nose and severe sinus pain and infections on and off over the time. The past 5 years my nose had go a lot worse, I have lost my sense of smell and my fatigue and insomnia had got so bad that when these symptoms flared up I'd thought rather not be here many times. I've lived with a nose the feels like I have a permanent nose for about a decade and it's severly impacted my quality of life and anxiety due to worrying about my breathing. I am currently in week two of weaning myself off of this medication and already I have been able to smell for the first time in years that immunotherapy could not fix. I hope my review will help the many people out there who are feeling so miserable and hopeless due to the use and side effects of this nasal spray. | F | 27 | 13 years 1X day | 10/24/2024 | 1 | possible ETD / sinus pressure | When to the doctors with mild sinus and ear pressure turned out i had impacted earwax in both ears and possible sinus inflammation. Was prescribed avymys and booked an ear microsuction session. All seemed well until until a week later. Chest tightness, dizziness, extreme anxiety, shortness of breathe, heart palpitations, constipation, and just generally feel awful. After comming here and seeing the similarities it has to be flonase. I have discarded it and hoping to recover soon | Possible side effects my gp said was nose bleeds lol unreal. | M | 36 | 27 2X day | 10/22/2024 | 1 | Allergies | Increased anxiety, severe stomach pain, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, weakness and tingling | Just realized it's my nasal spray making me feel in complete pain. My doctor promised me that this wouldn't happen/wasn't from the nasal spray as I've had reactions in the past. I told her I'm having issues and she told me to increase to 2x a day..... I'm done with that doctor | F | 28 | 2 months 1X day | 10/16/2024 | 1 | Allergies | anxiety all day every day and panic attacks. Headache shortness of breath. | I wanted to let you all know, I went through the same thing as you all. I went off of Flonase 80 days ago and have finally had 2 weeks of normalcy. No more anxiety. It takes about 2 months or more for your body to reset after you stop using this Over the counter drug that needs to have more warning about side effects . Hang in there. You will get better it does take some time. I also drank a magnesium drink really and it helps with the anxiety. It’s Called recess on amazon | F | 5 years 1X day | 10/11/2024 | 4 | vasomotor rhinitis | sore throat and anxiety | It works and stopped my runny nose and teary eyes which i get every 2-3 days. After using Flonase, I haven't had these symptoms for 3 months as of now. | M | 29 | 2X day | 10/7/2024 | 1 | Sinus infection congestion allergy | Omg it's been so bad horrible mold and anxiety, nausea for days and throwing up. Insomnia, shakiness, sore throat and body aches. | F | 35 | 30 days 20mg 2X day | 10/4/2024 | 1 | Neck pains, muscle pains in my shoulders, headaches, dry nose and sore throat and also being tired and sleepy all the time. | F | 48 | 4 months 50mg 1X day | 9/23/2024 | 1 | Sinusitis | Panic, anxiety, depression, nausea | Slowly the anxiety and depression crept up on me, until I decided to use Flonase twice a day instead of once. That's when the panic started. It took me a couple weeks, and DAY LONG panic attacks to figure out it was Flonase. I can't even describe what my days are like. Even on Wellbutrin and Ativan, the severe anxiety and depression break through during the day. Nothing fully helps, and now the nausea started. It's been 3 weeks since I quit. Before Flonase I was happy, energetic, very optimistic and had never had unmanageable anxiety or even a panic attack. As a single mom, I'm barely hanging on, to my job, my relationships, my kids. Ive lost 10 lbs, I'm down to 116. All of it is a struggle all day long. I had to fly in a family member to help me while I work through this. I have spent thousands now on medical bills to make sure everything is ok. They did find elevated cortisol levels, but everything else is fine. Now I'm waiting like all the others for this nightmare to loosen it's grip. | F | 41 | 5 months 1 spray 2X day | 9/23/2024 | 1 | Allergies | Heart racing and weakness. Terrible anxiety and hopelessness. I just can't understand why the give you this. | F | 44 | 6 days 1X day | 9/19/2024 | 1 | Seasonal allergy | Panic attack, anxiety, fatigue, diarrhea | Worst side effect of my life! Started a few months after taking it one a day. | F | 25 | 6 months 1XD 1X day | 8/26/2024 | 1 | Sinusitis | Panic attacks, anxiety, tension head aches from the back of my neck through to my eyes, eye pressure, bloody nose and nose pain | I was having panic attacks and extreme anxiety. I couldn’t cook (my favorite thing to do) I couldn’t visit my grandchildren! I couldn’t drive to the grocery store. I could not do anything and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I told my dr I was having anxiety when I tried to do anything and he told me to stop doing that. I had no control of it. Before having these Side effects I was cheerful and full of energy. I decided to look at side effects of Flonase and thankfully found this forum. I can not believe I was using this nose spray to make me feel better and it was causing all of these symptoms. I had anxiety and overall feeling very badly from April through July 2024. I stopped taking Flonase 23 days ago and am finally starting to feel normal again. I have never had such bad anxiety where I thought about going to ER. I had to give up caffeine and sugar in an effort to stop the everyday anxiety. Don’t give up, you will get better after you stop taking this drug. I will not put anything up my nose again other than saline. I know it helps some folks but if youre having these symptoms, go off of it today! Dr’s should not recommend this drug without letting patients know about possible side effects so they can be aware and look out for these symptoms and discontinue using it before they lose weeks and months of their life. | F | 63 | 3 months 1X day | 8/3/2024 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Started having panic attacks and mania where I thought mold and mildew was coming out of the air conditioner.

I'm a month off of it and stuff trying to recover. I'm a healthy 39 year old active female. No previously know health issues. This gave me my first panic attack and continued panic attacks. Still trying to figure out how to lower my heart rate and adrenaline rushes. My life has been completely miserable | F | 39 | 4 days 1X day | 6/28/2024 | 1 | Allergies | Sore throat, oral thrush (that I found out was directly linked to Flonase!), fatigue, muscle spasms, waking up multiple times throughout the night, numbness in hands, depression, mood swings, vertigo, dizziness, extreme anxiety, heart palpitations that I could hear in my ears, really had no energy for life at all anymore! I’ve been taking this off and on for years and never realized my symptoms were from Flonase until I did a deep google dive & yesterday I took my last dose. I only wish I had known sooner. | This drug should be banned! It's ruined so much of my life as I've been so tired and lifeless. I warn everyone about this now. I pray I don't have withdrawal from this but I will never take it again. I had so much energy and was so healthy before this terrible nasal spray! | F | 40 | 3 years 50mg X 2 2X day | 6/15/2024 | 1 | Yes | I'm no longer taking this medication. | One of the worst experiences of my life.
