 1  Nasal Congestion This is my second post. I have been off Flonase since December 3 after not quite 3 months of taking it. We are now in March and I am still experiencing horrible pain by my knees and burning down my right leg. Have seen an acupuncturist, orthopedic dr,. and chiropractor and spent over $1100.

 1  nasal congestion It was used as needed. I had gotten a refill, it had helped me breathe easier. The second day I used it I was cooking dinner and lost the vision in my left eye. It went totally black.My vision returned and I was told By my primary doctor to go to the ER. I had high blood pressure when I arrived and had an ekg. and chest xray. They did a lot of blood work and a c-scan of my brain. They didn't see anything to explain the loss of vision I had. I was told to see my eye doctor. I went , I was told she believed it was a circulation problem. She said I needed an ultra sound on my neck arteries. An emergency appointment was made. I am still having pain in the eye an unable to keep it opened. I had this same thing happen 5 years ago , same eye, same tests. I was also using flonase. This has been a very expensive lessons to learn. I now am unable to use regular eye drops as well. Hoping It will get better, I wear sunglasses in my home.Looking up this drug , I ran across a post by a woman whose F 70 30 days

 1  Sinus congestion from cold virus It's over the counter now, but it shouldn't be. I only took it two days for extreme sinus congestion but the side effects were awful - insomnia, anxiety, heart racing, hot face but no fever and upset/gassy stomach. I have stomach issues to begin with so had I read this site before I never would have taken this...stopped it today after 2 days. How long did it take others to feel back to normal? F 40 2 days

 1  Deviated Septum, stuffiness. Dosage was 50mg, spray twice in each nostril. Seemed to begin working on the 3rd day. 4th day side effects began. Started with sharp pain in the center of my chest, radiating upward to my jaw, face flushing, very very dizzy, tingling and numbness in both arms, hands, and right leg, loud ringing in my ears, sweating, dry eyes, sensitivity to light and sound. I had to talk myself down from panicking. I'm getting through this tonight. Hopefully I will be able to sleep. I would not recommend this product due to the serious side effects I had. M 51 4 days

 1  Allergies and sinus infections. This product is frightening and should be taken off the market. I get bad allergies over the winter and usually wind up with a sinus infection annually. The doctor at a walk in clinic recommended it. After taking this product for three days, my menstrual period did not start, which I found out on the Internet is a major side effect of this product. Funny that this is not posted in the company website as a potential side effect. I never would have taken it had I known. My face this evening has broken out in a rash and my face is all broken out with acne. I do not get acne. I also have found over the past three days to have major anxiety which is not normal for me. I do not take other medications as I am in good health. I will be stopping use of this product immediately. Do not use this product, especially if you are female. It stopped my menstrual cycle despite using to the instructions. F 35 3 days

 1  Pet allergies I take Flonase every other weekend when I go to my dads. I usually take about 2 squirts and for the past month the inside of my nose has been sore and scabbed. It starts to get better right before I go, and when I start taking it again, it starts back up. Super annoying Flonase works really well, but for me it isn't worth the hassle and pain that it brings along with it. F 17 1 years

 1  Stuffy nose at night. Allergy First night used it right before bed. All night felt jittery. Terrible night trying to sleep. Anxiety. Up and down all night. Next morning woke up with severe itching on soles of feet. Lasted until late that afternoon. Used it again the second night, but many hours earlier. Didn't have such a horrible night, but woke up with severe itching again on soles of feet AND on the palms of my hands. Now, at noon it has subsided a little. Had to use anti itch cream on feet and hands. Will NEVER use Flonase again! Terrible side effects for me. Wish the doctor had warned me!!! F 53 2 days
