| 1 | Sinus Infection | My very first case of Thrush thanks to Flonase (and Nasacort). Was on Nasacort for a week then switched to Flonase. Four days later my throat was very dry and a little sore. Looked in the mirror and I had white patches all over my tonsils and upper throat. The stuff would scrape off. I've stopped the Flonase. Hopefully this thrush will go away on its own. | M | 42 | 4 days 2 sprays 1X day | 8/27/2015 | 2 | Seasonal allergies | Extreme bilateral temporal headaches, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite and vomiting | I realized after today that it was unusual to have a headache this extreme 3 days in a row, especially with no triggers present (menstruation, stress). The only change to my routine was adding Flonase. I will not be taking this medication any longer. I'm glad it works for some of you, unfortunately it was a no go for me | F | 26 | 3 days 50 mcg | 8/26/2015 | 1 | allergy | floaters in my eye !!!! my son got sent to a cancer doctor b/c his white platelet count dropped to 40K (200K and above is normal). I has chest pain too. My husbands blood pressure went way up. All of these are verified effects. This drug should be illegal!!! Mayo clinic links blindness to this as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 49 | otc 1X day | 8/25/2015 | 1 | Allergies and stuffiness | Horrible headaches/ migraines, neck pain, left eye twitching, insomnia, irritability, heart racing. | I ended up in the ER Saturday night, because of my heart racing, I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. After the Dr checked me out he informed me it was just a panic attack. I couldn't figure out why I was feeling this way. The headaches were so bad I laid on the couch in tears. I am so grateful for looking up reviews of side effects. I took my last dose of this crap this morning, and will not be taking it ever again. | F | 39 | 10 days 50 MG | 8/24/2015 | 2 | Allergies | Persistent cough (especially at night) wheezing, throat irritation, anxiety insomnia, stuffed-feeling nose | For me, this drug worked. However, a little over a week in, the side effects became terrible. It took me several days to realize it was this medication. I stopped using it 3 days ago and the side effects are 90 percent gone. I would only very cautiously recommend for short term use. | M | 42 | 2 weeks 50mcg | 8/22/2015 | 1 | Allergies | Weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, felt like I had a virus, heart pounding. Now breaking out in a rash since my last dose 3-4 days ago. This should not be available OTC. I took nasonex and NEVER had anything like this happen. Now I'm taking benadryl to stop the rash/hives. | F | 40 | 5 days | 8/22/2015 | 2 | Post nasal drip, sinusitis, allergi | nightmares, day 3 severe stiffness in right side of neck, day 5 stiffness in left side of neck, swollen lymph nodes, tension headache throbbing on temples by day 3, stiff muscles, angry, weakness, insomnia.... I'm going to continue taking it for a few more days because it has gotten rid of my drip almost completely.. Hopefully the side affects are just my body cleaning itself up, who knows!!! | The nasal drip on this stuff is something harsh.. Be careful not to swallow what excess runs down your throat because it will cause a sore throat/ cuts in your throat. Spit it out!! | F | 28 | 6 days 1 spray 2x | 8/20/2015 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | Did not realize at the time, after 2nd dose had extreme muscle pain in neck and upper back (muscles spasms), after final dose extreme headache on left side (sharp shooting pain in left temperal felt like migraine) next day numbness on left side of head followed by chest pain, fatigue, pain in left eye, anxiety, nervous, muscle spasms in legs which lasted for three days and starting to diminish. Still have some effects four days after last dose. | I cannot believe this is OTC. Side effects of OTC should not be this extreme. Took via recommendation from PA who said it will help with nasal congestion. I will deal with congestion all day every day over just one day of these side effects. Felt like I had a major problem and could not feel normal. DO NOT take this drug. This should ONLY be provided by RX not OTC. I have never had a side effect from anything in my entire life. This was my first and hopefully last time. Hoping all side effects go away by end of week! FDA should not have allowed this to be so accessible. Money talks and someone allowed this one through. | M | 44 | 5 days 1X day | 8/19/2015 | 1 | Allergies | I felt Light headed, had foggy thinking, and was extremely tired and anxious feeling. I used it for about 5 days before I realized that Flonase was causing my symptoms. I stopped using it 2 days ago but I still feel fatigued and overly emotional. | I won't be using this again. | F | 40 | 5 days 200 mcg | 8/17/2015 | 1 | sever allergy attack | Extreme fatigue, tight chest, anxiety, barely able to function after 3 day use. | The first day was relief but that night I started to feel side effects of the drug. I personally will never take this again the side effects are terrible if you get them. I went to my doctor who ran a EEG on me to make sure I was not having a heart attack (I wasn't). | F | 60 | 3 days 1X day | 8/15/2015 | 2 | loss of taste and smell | Sleepy could not stay awake.headache tired and sometimes drowsy.did not help to get my. Taste or smell back. | Will not be using it again. | F | 59 | 1 weeks 50mcg | 8/14/2015 | 1 | Allergies | Anxiety through the roof! Head and eye pain. | It may help some people, but not me. Why anxiety isn't listed as a side effect is beyond me. | M | 55 | 6 days 50mg 1X day | 8/14/2015 | 1 | Was prescribed by ENT for Allergies | Bad Headaches and Dizziness. I can't wait for this to wear OFF. | F | 40 | 6 days 50 | 8/13/2015 | 1 | Diviated septum. Provided better sl | Took as directed on bottle for about 1 1/2 weeks. I was taken it because of a diviated septum. Dr. said it woukd help me sleep. Horrible headaches and shoulder neck pain. Could not sleep. | It helped my nose, but provided worse pain. I have not taken Flonase for 3 days and the pain is still in my neck. It is about 60% better, but it is still bad! | F | 40 | 2 weeks As directe | 8/4/2015 | 3 | Sinus Congestion | Loss of concentration and focus, gastric problems, tightness on my chest, my blood pressure is high now, and I have gained over 15 pound since December 2014. | After checking some review, I am quitting Fluticasone. I told my Dr. last week that I was suffering some headaches, she said that my blood pressure was high and I need some blood pressure medicine. I really think that this Fluticasone has caused me all this problems. | F | 51 | 2 years 2X day | 8/1/2015 | 3 | Congestion, allergies, clogged ears | Heart palpitations and pounding. Wooziness. | Flonase helps my allergy symptoms so much. It's also been effective at reducing the clogged sensation in my ears. Unfortunately, it causes an irregular heart beat - fluttering and pounding sensations. A secondary side effect would be the anxiety associated with feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack at age 31. | F | 31 | 1 months 1X day | 7/30/2015 | 1 | Allergy relief | Day one was fabulous! Had extra energy and removed most of allergy symptoms - was more than satisfied. Second day after taking (instructions said first week two sprays) within an hour I was dizzy, exhausted, wanted to nap, dressed for gym then quickly laid down & never made it there. Got anxious off and on thru day, and wanted to figuratively scratch out my eyes because of itching! It was like I got my normal allergies times 100! | Absolutely do not recommend this product. I will be telling family and friends to STAY AWAY & try something else... | F | 52 | 2 days | 7/30/2015 | 1 | Severe headache and sinusitis | After using spray first time I started to experience tremendous pressure on sinus areas.i had to lie down for at least 3 hours. Also experiencing horrible headache | I was given drug to treat severe headache and sinusitis. I now was suffering more then before I took the drug. I am a very unhappy patient. It also made be feel very tired and out of it. I will stop drug immediately | F | 71 | 1 days 50 | 7/16/2015 | 3 | Allergies and Sinus issues | This drug made me extremely fatigued. After taking a dose, I would become extremely tired and would sleep 12+ hours and still found it hard to get up. I am also suffering from an extended period a problem I never experienced before taking Flonase. | Helped with my allergies and sinus problems but I do not like side effects. I will not use again | F | 45 | 1 weeks 50 mcg | 7/15/2015 | 2 | nasal congestion | Severe fatigue; total exhaustion. I only wanted to sleep. it was profound. I really can't take this medication at all. | F | 38 | 2 days 30 1X day | 7/14/2015 |
