 1  I took Flonase for allergies Under eye muscle twitching that lasted 2 weeks. The twitching was NONSTOP and even occurred while I was sleeping. I started using lubricating eye drops at the suggestion of an eye dr and it seemed to help stop the twitching. I would NOT use this product again!!!! F 46 3 days

 1  Seasonal Allergies HOLY ANXIETY BATMAN!!!! This stuff works great for relieving allergy symptoms BUT my oh my does it cause anxiety. I also experienced bouts of crying, snapping at my family, anger, nervousness, racing thoughts, not able to sleep well. My joints hurt and my body is very stiff. I have been off of this POISON for a week now and am STILL suffering the side effects. If anything, they are going away in tiny amounts each day. This drug is a steroid and can build up in your system. If you take an asthma inhaler, you are getting a "double dose" of the steroids. The side effects will creep up on you and then BAM! After being off of it for a week I am now experiencing tingling on my left side in my hand, foot and left side of my face and I don't know why. Praying that this all goes away soon. I would have rather suffered with all of the allergy symptoms then go through this hell. M 53 2 months

 1  Severe allergies I didn't connect the dots until I talked to my husband. First night, insomnia, pain in my chest, almost like heartache, very sleepy, moody,snappy, anxiety. My husband informed me that Flonase is the same family as cocaine, the reason it's only recommended for no more than two months. Second day, heartache again. And funny thing is it hasn't eliminated my allergies/symptoms but added issues to the list. I will not use it again, don't like messing with my heart. F 43 2 days

 1  allergic rhinitus extreme anxiety, palpitations, sleep disturbances, etc. I weaned myself off and side effects went away. I had a miserable allergy day so thought I would try again and the anxiety came back almost immediately. i have been "clean" for 2 weeks now and am feeling amazing after 2 years of searching for a reason for my anxiety and taking serious meds to get to sleep. Now a cup of herbal tea does the trick. I am amazed that the spray was all I had to change! After talking to others, I think the anxiety issue needs to be at the top of the side effects list and more research needs to be done to determine the effect of long term use of steroid nasal sprays especially since we are now perscribing them to children.

 1  Seasonal Allergies I have used Flonase in past years with no problems. I've been using for about two weeks now and noticed that about 30 minutes after taking it my eyes get horribly itchy and burning. Enough that several times I've had to flush with water (I thought maybe just laundry detergent or something?). When I looked it up and saw this site, I realized all of the other weird things I've been feeling the last two weeks were on here also! Namely, extreme tiredness during the day and unable to sleep at night. Which is what has probably cause my not-so-normal persistent moodiness/attitude. It definitely helps with allergies, but to me the side effects I get aren't worth it! F 31 2 weeks

 1  Seasonal allergies Just got done reviewing manufacturer info again and I am using as directed. Nothing there so found this site and I'm a bit scared to see I'm not the only one recently feeling like my nose is broken. Used in past and worked well but this has never happened to me before! Users beware. F 41 10 days

 1  Sniffles, Post nasal drip Pain in my nose. Took one dose in AM, 2 sprays per nostril. The bridge of my nose started hurting several hours later. I actually thought it might be broken, but couldn't figure out how. By the end of the night, I felt like I had been punched in the nose and was literally icing my nose as I watched TV and read all these comments that I should have read before I used it. F 53 1 days

 5  Alllergies No side effects noticed. Personally, I think a lot of folks that post here are hypochondriacs. This nasal spray could not possibly cause all of the issues being blamed on it. I use it for a month or two every year for seasonal allergies, and have never experienced anything unusual short of a dry nose a few times. M 54 45 days
