| 1 | nasal passage completely blocked | On second day, lost my appetite and had insomnia. I felt like I had too much coffee. Also lost my balance and fell. It took me most of a day to figure out what was causing the insomnia because I did not find it on the official side effects. I have already taken the medication today and worry about not sleeping tonight. I will not take it again. Even though I took it only in the morning, I could not sleep all night. | F | 64 | 3 days 50 mcg 2X day | 8/20/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My sinuses became infected shortly after my initial use of Flonase and continued until I ceased the use of Flonase. This was a horrible experience, no antibiotic helped, and infection as a side effect is unacceptable. I will never recommend Flonase or use it myself again. | M | 54 | 9 months 30mg 2X day | 8/19/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | I started having awful headaches after starting Flonase. I also had some under eye muscle twitching and anxiety making it difficult to sleep at night. It's definitely better to blow my nose 100 times a day than to deal with all those side effects. Will not be taking another dose. | F | 42 | 10 days | 8/15/2016 | 4 | Allergies | Shakiness | The shakes are worth it, due to stopping headache & frontal sinus pain | F | 57 | 3 days 50mg | 8/6/2016 | 2 | sinus congestion | post-nasal drip, shakiness, insomnia, sinus symptoms getting worse | Only took my second dose this morning, although after taking the first yesterday, my sinus congestion got worse. Nothing has changed from the way it was before, where I thought the drug would help. I was leery of taking it because I hate using drugs for anything. Already there's some post-nasal drip, which is exactly I didn't want to take it. Also, I hardly slept last night (although to be honest, my sleep has been poor since my sinus problems began 6 months ago), and I'm shaky and agitated this morning. | F | 67 | 2 days 50 1X day | 7/28/2016 | 4 | Allergies | Withdrawal symptoms include severe fatigue, muscle aches, headache, eye pain, change in taste buds, and nausea. | This product is designed to be used during allergy season not year round. Do not make the same mistake I made. There are much safer products available. | F | 53 | 10 years | 7/23/2016 | 4 | Allergies | Withdrawal symptoms include severe fatigue, muscle aches, headache, eye pain, change in taste buds, and nausea. | This product is designed to be used during allergy season not year round. Do not make the same mistake I made. There are much safer products available. | F | 53 | 10 years | 7/23/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | PLEASE READ I felt so alone in this at first but after doing some research, I can see there are more and more people suffering from side effects as I did and still am. I started taking Flonase for seasonal allergies for about two months until I had my first "anxiety attack". It was very intense and I have no idea what was going on so I called an ambulance and took a trip to the emergency room. They diagnosed me with anxiety and prescribed me anxiety medication and it made me feel worse. 6 trips to the ER later, I finally got to see my family doctor. (Btw every doctor I had seen before this completely overlooked Flonase as being the culprit) so this time before seeing my doctor I did a little research and found out that various people around the world are having severe side effects from Flonase that goes undiagnosed. Chances are that you have been using it incorrectly and just jamming it up your nose and spraying away and going about your day. But This is where things get a little unclear. Technically when you're using Flonase you're supposed to spray at the interlinings of the beginning of your nostril (in an outwards direction) NOT into your nasal cavity. This is where it gets scary. If you spray into your nasal cavity nine times out of 10 the drainage will take the Flonase to the back of your throat and you will then swallow it into your stomach . THIS IS WHERE THE DAMAGE IS DONE. The steroid then begins to damage not only your esophagus but the inte | Although the product works very well definitely read the warnings and side effects before using and do not swallow any of it . | M | 26 | 2 months 2xD | 7/23/2016 | 1 | For allergies | Flonase definitely helped when I used it. I could breathe and not have any allergy issues. I always had a runny nose though when using it. I finally decided I did not want to be on ANY drugs at all, so I stopped using it. Plus I had no insurance to cover the cost, so I quit getting it. Now I have constant sinus blockage. One side or the other is ALWAYS BLOCKED. My sinuses block up if I laugh, when I lay down etc. My sinuses are not the same since using FLONASE. Obviously the steroid has damaged my sinuses. Never again will I trust a doctor or their stupid medicines they push on us. | F | 59 | 5 years 30 mg 2X day | 7/19/2016 | 1 | Sore throat caused by post nasal | A short time after using Flonase I started to feel very anxious, disoriented, jittery and more. I bolted out of a store and hoped that I would make it home without going to the ER. Major panicky and disoriented feelings. | It was the same feelings I had when I once was on prednisone for a week. If you can't take cortisone stay away. It's horrible. I'll never take this again. | F | 59 | 1 days 50 mcg. | 7/18/2016 | 5 | allergies sinus always blocked | none | this stuff is fantastic never breathed so good | M | 57 | 3 weeks 50mcg 1X day | 7/14/2016 | 2 | Sinus inflammation due to allergy | Bad Fatigue, mild leg cramps, weakness, nausea. Steroids usually tire me so this is no exception. But it did help with my sinus symptoms but not worth the side affects. Better to use a netti pot with distilled water only and the salt packs that are sold with them. | The adverse affects need to be mentioned on balance with the good. This does not stay local but is absorbed through the blood vessels and skin thus affecting the entire body. | M | 54 | 3 days 50 mcg per | 7/10/2016 | 1 | Sinuses inflamation | Burning in my nose, tight chest, difficulty breathing, severe head ache, dizziness, face and lips swelling. | I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MEDICINE TO ANYONE! | F | 48 | 3 days 50mcg | 7/10/2016 | 1 | Congestion, ears felt blocked | Severe anxiety and panick like attack. Clostraphobic like can't lay down or sleep. Woke up in the middle of the night like this so scared. Never had anything like this happen to me before. Still feeling this way hope it goes away soon. Threw it away will never take again. | Actually took it for one week it was great felt fine it worked. Few weeks later took it again for 3 days when this happened. It's the only new thing in my life so it has to be the Flonase plus other have the same reaction. | F | 47 | 3 days | 7/2/2016 | 1 | Vasomotor Rhinitis | I started this nasal spray 3 years ago. It worked awesome for the three years. On May 24, 2016 I started to have severe stomach pain, cramping and nausea that brought me to ER three times in the past 30 days and EXSTENSIVE specialists and testing that showed nothing was wrong w/me. I stopped medicine 4 days ago and I'm soooo much better. If you use this spray and notices weird symptom side effects, I suggest you go off for 1 week and see if it's due to this spray. | F | 52 | 3 years | 6/30/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | First time was bad. By third night extreme itching all.over and can't sleep. Never taking again | F | 39 | 3 days | 6/25/2016 | 2 | Constant nasal congestion | As soon as I started using Flonase I lost my ability to sleep. Felt very nervous and anxious all the time, like something inside me was going to explode. I thought I was losing my mind until I figured out Flonase is a steroid and that was probably what was causing my issues. It does work great for allergies. Completely eliminated my allergy symptoms. But I can't take it because of the side effects. | M | 48 | 3 weeks 50 mcg | 6/21/2016 | 1 | Fluid in middle ears | Noticed I was feeling very anxious. Had a couple of mild panic like episodes. i also felt extreme fatigue one day without a known cause. The anxiety is the worst. My head and eyes did not feel normal. Not pain. A moderate pressure. Stopped the drug seven days ago. Still having some anxiety, but getting better. I'll never take this drug again! | F | 55 | 1 weeks | 6/21/2016 | 1 | Congestion in ears | I will begin by stating that I am a clinical psychologist. My Dr prescribed this poison to me last Friday in an attempt to clear fluid from my left ear. On the first night that I took it I became agitated, angry and frankly humiliated myself in front of my family. The past 6 days have been a blur of anxiety. I have been frightened, has insomnia, felt like my heart was beating out of my chest...and cried to my wife on a nightly basis. This morning I made the connection between my incredible anxiety and the beginning of this medication. I couldn't go to work today and just sat and detoxed. I feel so badly....for the past 6 days I've been a horrible husband, father and therapist...sitting like a zombie in session. In glad to know that I'm not losing my mind. | NEVER AGAIN! I can't wait to get this crap out of my system and get on with my life!! | M | 49 | 5 days | 6/15/2016 | 1 | Sinusitis | terrible!hives after 2nd use.it feels like someone punched me in my nose..the burning is ongoing for hours. | F | 32 | 2 days | 6/15/2016 |
