 1  nasal allergies On third day my scalp started tingling and was crawly itchy. Then i developed pimple like sores on my lips and eyelids. Then the nightmares of potato buds growing from my scalp and then the next night a nightmare of roaches crawling on my scalp. I became photosensitive and my eyes are so red it looks like i am on crack. By the way i feel, the constant itching and batting bugs out of my hair i might as well do crack. I also started farting non stop. F 48 7 days

 3  Allergies It really helps me with allergies, sneezing, itchy eyes. Unfortunately, it also causes depression, irritability and may or may not be connected with some of my sleep issues i have been taking flonase daily in spring season when my allergies are the worst and whenever else is needed throughout year. This spring i figured since i haven't really been taking it for last few months ( i ran out ) that i'd reupp my usage for a week since allergies are really bad to 2 sprays in each nostril for a week as directions say when starting to use flonase. Well i suddenly felt horrible. I started to feel bad and negative about everything and super irritable which is a little unusual for me. So i wondered if there was any correlation. then i started googling it and realized your only suppopsed to be on this for short amounts of time and anything longer then 6 months should be consulted with a doctor. I stopped taking it for a week and took other allergy meds. I felt the weight kinda lift off me and i didn't feel so bad or irritable.. I was wondering if maybe it was placebo and so I recently took it again to see if maybe i was just overdoing it. so i took just 1 spray each nostril and sure enough i feel very irritable and not so good. Unfortunately, i think i'm done with it forever and i'm kinda bummed about that :-( M 30 2 years

 1  Allergies Nurse practitioner suggested and I began taking when treated for an ear infection. I developed a rash and an infection on my face, which was treated with mupiricin. Then I developed pink eye and excruciating low back pain. Add to the list elevated resting heart rate and anxiety. I followed the chain of events back to flonase and stopped using it, felt immediately better. I would rather sneeze than use flonase. 58 9 months

 1  Seasonal Allergies Anxiety I was totally unprepared for the anxiety that began after using Flonase. I didn't realize the culprit until 3 days of use. I've not used it in 2 days and I can finally tell that I'm getting back to normal. This needs to be listed as a side effect on the label of this medication! M 36 4 days

 1  Allergies After reading some of the comments here about extreme anxiety, I have to say it really hit home with me. We recently got Flonase over the counter here, so because I have been a long time sufferer of allergies I tried it a few days ago. Well on top of the extreme anxiety, terrible headache and just overall bad feeling, I started having extreme phantom smell of smoke. It's like a burning dirty ashtray is inside my nose. I feel like I'm going completely insane, and then it doesn't help when I read that it could also mean a brain tumor!! Great! Thanks google! PLEASE can anyone tell me if they have had this strange side effect too, because I'm completely freaking out here, and I don't know what to do - other than obviously stop taking Flonase, which I have done!! F 46 4 days

 1  Allergies Insomnia. Irritability. Depression. Heightened anxiety in an already anxious teenager. Leg pain. DEBILITATING HEADACHES. Not worth the side effects It worked like a charm clearing up nasal congestion but not worth side effects at all. Will stick to Zyrtec. Would not recommend this to anyone especially teenagers who are already sleep deprived. Poison. F 16 3 months

 1  Chronic rhinitus Chronic urticaria I have used Flixonase for ten years without incident. Developed severe sinusitis two years ago requiring sinus surgery (FESS). Since that time, despite having been instructed by the ENT surgeon to continue with Flixonase, my symptoms worsened until I was forced to stop work, became permanently exhausted, and one year ago developed chronic, widespread virulent itching all over my body. After testing for every allergy imaginable, finally stopped Flixonase to see whether it made any difference. Energy gradually returned, itching has begun to ease and sleep has almost been restored. I notice now, having read more widely, that Flixonase SHOULD NOT BE USED FOLLOWING SINUS SURGERY. I wish someone had told me. So much unnecessary misery could have been avoided. BEWARE. F 66 365 days
