| 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 | 6/14/2016 | 3 | Allergies | Metallic taste! Yuck! Quit taking, irritating. | Did work well but could not stand the taste! | F | 56 | 6 days 30 mg | 6/11/2016 | 2 | Sinitis but have hard time breathin | Mouth dry feel like i cant breathe | F | 56 | 1 days | 6/8/2016 | 1 | pollen allergy | Pins and needles feeling all over body, stabbing muscle aches in legs | Won't ever take again. | F | 30 | 7 days | 6/7/2016 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Day 1 no side effects and helped me with my allergies. Day 2 Insomnia. Day 3 and 4 an intense red, puffy rash on nose and cheeks. Extreme itching. Swollen face and lips. | Watch for allergic reactions-- they are extreme! | F | 39 | 4 days 1X day | 5/31/2016 | 1 | Inhale allergies | Burned my nose so bad it felt like fire up my nose, instant rebound effect, stuffed up worse than before. No way I could stand it anymore. | F | 60 | 4 days 1X day | 5/31/2016 | 3 | Seasonal allergies | Severe nose bleeds, sometimes 3-4 times each day | The medication itself worked great, but the frequent severe nose bleeds forced me to stop taking it. | F | 44 | 30 days 50 mcg 1X day | 5/30/2016 | 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 50mcg 4X day | 5/26/2016 | 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 2 | 5/23/2016 | 1 | many allergies | my tongue turned white @ roof of mouth sore | my allergies were better but will not use anymore | F | 76 | 4 weeks 1X day | 5/23/2016 | 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. | F | 56 | 2.5 years 1 spray 1X day | 5/22/2016 | 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 4 sp 1x dy | 5/21/2016 | 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 | 5/16/2016 | 5 | Severe nasal congestion | Wish it lasted longer, doctor does not want me taking more than once a day | F | 55 | 2 years | 5/15/2016 | 1 | Allergy relief, nasal congestion | After 3 days a very painful STYE appeared on my upper eyelid, lasted 8 days. Stopped taking Flonase immediately, and bought STYE EYE ointment. Will not use product again. Going to return to Rite-Aid. I have not had a STYE in 25-30+ years... | F | 43 | 3 days | 5/15/2016 | 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 50 mcg | 5/12/2016 | 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 1X day | 5/8/2016 | 1 | Potential sinus problem | EXTREME Anxiety, massive headache for days | So I had been having sinus issues for almost literally the past month. Had 3 ER visits for severe sinus pressure and 3 (unproductive) Dr. visits. One of the ER Doctors put me on flonase, so I took that and the first day I immediately had a headache on the entire left side of my head. On top of that, later that night I was eating dinner then all of a sudden I was sweating profusely, my heart was racing and I was having short breaths. I had to leave the restaurant and I realized that I was having some sort of panic attack. After I had calmed down, the headache was still lingering and lasted for about 2 additional days (and yes, I was taking ibuprofen) before it finally subsided, but it left me with my head feeling heavier than it did before. | M | 23 | 1 days 30 mg 2X day | 5/6/2016 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Dry nasal cavity, headaches, contracting muscle and pain. Mood Changes, dizzy, anxiety,bDay dreams. | Stop using this drug. It isn't worth it. Waiting for all the side effects to wear off. | F | 57 | 1 months 200 1X day | 5/1/2016 | 1 | severe allergies | developed thrush from taking flonase almost daily for 6 weeks. Now, I've just finished a prescription for Nystatin tablets to clear the thrush, and it's still not gone. | My doctor gave me a sample of Dymista, which is a combination of astelin and flonase. It really helped my allergies, but the side effects from the medicine aren't worth it. I will find holistic ways to deal with my allergies including going on a food elimination diet in order to weed out a potential food sensitivity. I was scared I was losing my sense of smell, but I wonder if others could benefit from an anti fungal for an infection in the nose? My mouth infection isn't cleared, but my sinuses cleared a week after stopping flonase, and a few days of being on nystatin. | F | 38 | 6 weeks 50 mcg 1X day | 4/25/2016 |
