| 1 | Asthma | I experienced loss of smell, high blood pressure, headaches, and breathing problems | I could not figure it out why I could no longer smell, after reading some of the post that people have given, now I understand I knew it was something but never would have thought it was this and now that I know I will never use this product again. Thanks to everyone for sharing | F | 35 | 5 months 20 MG 2X day | 2/8/2016 | 1 | siinus infection | Feel like I can't swallow and there is an obstruction at bottom of my throat. Feel tightness and like a lump in throat. Tight in chest area. Ears ringing. Extreme fatigue and racing heart. | Don't take this spray! This spray should be off the market! Terrible! | F | 48 | 1 weeks 1X day | 1/28/2016 | 1 | Post nasal drip cough | I only took this once and never again. I stayed up all night WIDE AWAKE. I didn't fall asleep until 4 am when I went to bed st 10 pm. Everytime I started to fall asleep, I had bizarre lucid dreams and would start talking and wake myself up. | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/22/2016 | 4 | Sinus Viral Infection | Feeling of weakness and cold all the time with body aches. | I had a feeling of flu like symptoms. Felt very weak and very tired. It helped my nasal problems but probably won't take again as it made me feel so achy and sick all over my body. | F | 57 | 10 days 50 MG 1X day | 1/21/2016 | 5 | Sinus congestion would tiger migrai | Didn't think it was helping me much but any thing to help keep the migraines away was good until I had intense arm pain. I couldn't even hold my children or pump my own gas without extreme pain. Went to many Dr's with no luck. This went on for over a year. Went on vacation but forgot flonase. My arms started to work again. I've been off it for 2 months now and my arms and strength are better than they have been in years. FYI no change in migraines or sinuses. WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN ! | M | 47 | 10 years | 1/19/2016 | 2 | Nasal allergy symptoms | Headaches every day, fatigue, no improvement in allergy symptoms, brain fog | I have been taking this for five days and feel worse than I did before I started. Every morning I have woken up with a bad headache and needed to take Tylenol or Motrin. I am very fatigued and feel like I could sleep all day, along with feeling spaced out. My nose has a burning sensation inside and I still have tons of drainage. I'm going to stop taking this, definitely not helping. | F | 44 | 50 mcg 1X day | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Cold/sinus infection | Loss of smell. Dried out nose completely. My eyes were also very dry. Stopped after one use. I has been 10 days since I used it and I still cannot smell. Very concerned about permanent damage. | I wouldn't risk using it. It's not worth it. | F | 45 | 1 days 50 mg | 1/10/2016 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Nasal congestion cleared beautifully, but after three weeks on the drug, I began with slight knee pain in both knees. Then the muscle pain also went into my thighs and it hurt to go from a sitting to a standing position. It was uncomfortable to walk and I finally googled the side effects of this drug and noticed similar complaints. I have been off the drug since December 3, 2015 and I still have leg pain and arm pain and slight numbness on left hand. It has changed the quality of my life considerably and makes me wonder if something else is wrong with me, yet I see so many of the same complaints. I have always been healthy and take no regular medication. I am going for acupuncture now to see if it can help rid my body of these nasty effects. | Biggest mistake of my life taking this drug. | F | 65 | 3 months 1X day | 1/8/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Anxiety was extreme! It did work for my fall mold allergies though, but I was miserable from the anxiety it caused. Once I stopped it the anxiety was pretty much gone. | All meds have side effects and always vary by user, but there seems to be significantly scary side effects experienced by many who use Flonase. | F | 57 | 3 months 50 mcg | 1/6/2016 | 1 | Middle ear infection | Insomnia, tingling and numbness, tinnitus, severe sore throat, burning tongue, anxiety, heart palpitations | Not worth the horrible side effects! Do not use! | F | 42 | 3 days 50 mcg | 1/4/2016 | 1 | Post nasal drip | Headache Heart palpitations Upset stomach Restlessness Anxiety | Just started taking this today and already have an issue with it. I have a horrible headache, I cannot sleep, and my heart is racing so fast. I've always been sensitive to allergy medication, so maybe it's me. I think everyone should at least try it to see if it works for them. Every one is different, but I know I'm not taking it again. | F | 18 | 1 days | 1/2/2016 | 1 | Sinus pressure | Dizzy, nausea, sweating, anxiety, virtigo. This is the worse feeling I've ever experienced! Been about 15 hours since last dose, praying I will get back to normal! | M | 44 | 3 days | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Allergies | Headaches, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping | The night before I started taking this, I slept most of of the night. The next two nights while using this product, I have been unable to sleep, shortness of breath, and I am experiencing headaches. I only used this product 1x per day for a total of 3 days. I am feeling worse than I did before I started taking it. My pharmacist suggested Flonase. I am going to let him know what I experienced so he can alert other customers before using the product. | F | 52 | 3 days 50 mcg 1X day | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Has anybody experienced an increase in difficulty clearing your throat while taking Flonase? For me, it's particularly worse at night. | F | 2 weeks | 12/29/2015 | 1 | Post nasal drip, nasal congestion | Day one My throat began to hurt terribly, then my upper palette began to hurt as well. My tongue turned white but I thought it was from zinc lozenges. Day 4 I felt like I had burned my throat and mouth with hot liquids, and felt as if my throat was peeling skin and I coulnd swallow well. By day 7 I had bloody sputum and red bumps all over the back of tongue and throat. I scrubbed my tongue thoroughly and some of the white stuff came off, but my whole mouth was burning and sore, bleeding in spots. I got my medications and looked up Flonase side affects, found out about it causing candida overgrowth from steroid suppressing immune system, along with the antibiotic I had taken for the sinus infection I had the week before. Omg I will never use this again or recommend it. It did clear my congestion but the side affect was HORRIBLE. Went back to dr for fluconazole prescription. Hopefully that clears this up quickly. | DONT USE IT. NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS AND HAVING TO GO BACK TO DR. DANGEROUS DRUG. | F | 50 | 1 weeks 30 mg 2X day | 12/23/2015 | 2 | Sinus congestion-deviated septum | I developed a sore throat and my sinuses were worse than when I started. Also woke up on day three with some bump under my left eyelid (don't know if it's a side effect or not but the timing tells me yes) | F | 21 | 2 days 2X daily | 12/21/2015 | 1 | Stuffed sinus | Anxiety. Depersonalization, derealization, panic and feeling very jittery especially in the morning /during the day. Scared to leave the house. Have not been able to go to work. Feel wired and tired. Cannot sleep well. No appetite. Constant nervous bathroom trips. | I used this spray one time 2 sprays in my plugged nostril one spray in the other one night. The next day I started having these symptoms out of nowhere. I could not figure out why! That was 6 days ago and still having these symptoms. I really hope this goes away soon. :( | F | 31 | 1 days 3 sprays | 12/15/2015 | 1 | Dr. recommended for allergies | Chills, serious fatigue, nausea, back ache, muscle ache, anxiety | I took Fluticasone for 20 years off and on when needed, never noticed any side effects. But my doctor recommended I take Flonase as a way to fight allergies and sinus issues last June. Have taken it everyday since. 2 sprays/nostril, 50 mcg. For last two months, have had chronic chills, fatigue, achy muscles, back aches, and trouble sleeping. Anxiety and dizziness sometimes too. Convinced it's the Flonase so stopping immediately. Frustrated it's taken so long to figure it out. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this site! Very grateful for your comments. For sinus issues, I've been using netty pot for several weeks now and it seems to help. | M | 55 | 6 months 50 mcg 2X day | 12/14/2015 | 1 | Sinusitis | Rapid weight gain, acidic stomach occompanied with stomach pain, headache, and very emotionally unstable. | Do not take this medication! I gained 20lbs in 6 months also had acidic stomach Could've possibly been ulcers tried every acid reflux medicine available and still wasn't getting relief. Uncontrollable thoughts and very emotionally unstable. Do not take this medicine! | F | 31 | 6 months 50mg | 12/13/2015 | 1 | I started taking flonase for sinus | A few months after using flonase,I got extremely fatigued, tingling arms, chest pain, swollen glands, swollen and sensitive tongue, sore throat.and two bouts with oral thrush.it wasn't until the second round of thrush that I started to piece everything together.I thought something was incredibly wrong with me.nope..it was the flonase. | Never again.this stuff is awful | F | 48 | 6 months 50 mcg | 12/9/2015 |
