| 2 | sinus infection | Just finished this drug 24 hours ago and it sort of worked but in the last 2 days I've gotten headaches, chest pain, nightmares and a sore throat. I'm allergic to a lot of antibiotics so this was basically my last option. so frustrating... | F | 17 | 7 days ? 2X day | 7/16/2013 | 5 | bad allergies to Ragweed-seasonal | Dries out the nasal passage some, and have had sleeplessness at night, so I take the dose first thing in the morning, and that fixed the sleep problem. | I had seasonal allergic reactions to Ragweed so severe that I would get laryngitis, which is not good for a vocal performer. This medicine has helped to the point of almost curing it! Those who blame this for all kinds of issues, must be extremely sensitive to it, or needing to blame their medical issues on something. Dry nasal passage is minor, and sleep loss fixed by changing the dosage time. Simple and effective, and I detest meds, period! As a kidney/pancreas transplant recipient many meds will conflict with the anti-rejection meds I am required to take. My specialist in transplant says this will be the only real option, as Benedryl makes me too groggy all day. 4+ years after transplant this has stopped all my allergies, and no major side effects except as the minor ones noted! Great product. | M | 59 | 30 days 50 mcg 1X day | 7/12/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Put holes in my tonsils! Now my tonsils look like Swiss cheese and I kept getting infections in my sinuses. Couldn't figure out why will I put 2 and 2 together. Been off and on for a year with this, but consistent for last 3 months....when this all started. Now I will be on antibiotics forever when I get an infection due to so much damage to my tonsils | F | 29 | 3 months 50 mcg | 6/11/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Started taking Flonase for severe allergy issues. Was prescribed this medication to hp clear up my swollen membranes. I has alreay felt sick upon taking theedication, but like many individuals I didn't think it could be these Flonase. Well, I finally stopped taking the medication due to a severe sore throat, swollen palate and loss of my voice. I had coughing major and major phlegm discharge. It is my belief now that before an individual is prescribed a medicatin the doctor should take it upon the ages to divulge the possible side effects. Now I have his medication that I paid for and have to throw away. I am really unhappy with my doctor and my pharmacist. I guess buyer beware. | F | 45 | 3 days 30 | 6/10/2013 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My daughters pediatrician put her on Flonase for seasonal allergies and twice weekly nose bleeds. After 2 days on it her eyes were swollen and matted shut. She was put on conjunctivitis drops, but I continued the Flonase for 3 more days in which time she got a nose bleed all three days. I stopped giving it to her because it was making her worse. Hoping her pediatrician can get her on something that will help the situation, not makes it worse! | F | 7 | 5 days Once a day | 5/28/2013 | 5 | Seasonal Allergies | Fatigue | I thought I would chime in here after reading a few negative reviews. I have severe anxiety and panic attacks as it is. After using Flonase, I have not experienced an increase in those symptoms. I wanted to mention that because I know how scary those symptoms are, and I didn't want to scare anyone away from trying this product because it really has made my symptoms better. | F | 24 | 2 weeks 1X day | 5/22/2013 | 5 | Allergies | For the first 2 days I had a very slight burning sensation. After that, no side effects at all. | A friend of mine was prescribed this medication and had very good results, so I asked my doctor and he agreed that I should try it. Prior to that, I had been taking Allegra, which also worked well for me but not as well as Flonase. You can get this medication for way less money from Canadian pharmacies. I recommend northwestpharmacy.com where you can get 3 bottles for 45 bucks. Follow the instructions carefully and don't take it for extended periods if you don't need to (outside of allergy season, for instance). Tell the doctor if you have side effects. | M | 58 | 8 years 2 sprays 2X day | 5/3/2013 | 4 | Chronic non-allergic rhinitis | None. I was quite surprised to see the reviews from so many people who had multiple harmful side effects. | Because even the generic form is expensive, I cut the dosage down from two sprays per nostril twice a day to one spray per nostril per day before going to bed. It still works well for me at that level. | M | 61 | 20 years 50mcg 1X day | 5/3/2013 | 4 | Severe allergies, year round | Absence of itchy/stuffy/runny nose and sneezing. Yay!! | F | 30 | 2 weeks 60mg | 4/26/2013 | 3 | Allergies | Day 2: Dry/chapped skin around my mouth, swollen lips (although not noticeably visible) and feel light headed or funny. My allergy symptoms I had since Saturday poofed (runny nose present), but after given Flonase yesterday, I began experiencing allergic reaction to the sprayer itself this evening. | Flonase has the smell between honey + flowers = strong odor = nauseous feeling. My doctor suggested spray once in the morning and once in the evening during first 3 days, help jump start my treatment. Suggested to use it everyday for 3 months until flu season ended. Flonase isn't the right allergy med for me either due to the mild allergic reaction to the spray itself, but cured the scratchy sore throat, sneezing, congestion, cough, sinus pain although running nose remains. | F | 31 | 3 months 50 MG 2X day | 4/25/2013 | 1 | Allergies | Heart Palpitations, Anxiety, Dry/Sore Nose, Nosebleeds, Acne, Mouthsores, Immune System Dropped (I have gotten sick about 3 times while on it.) | Aside from an allergy problem that I have been dealing with since childhood, I am pretty damn healthy. Anxiety disorder does seem to run in my family, but I hadn't had a panic attack for years until I started the Flonase. My immune system seemed to suffer as well because I felt like I was always getting sick! I didn't really think it could be the Flonase causing all these sudden health issues until I got online and found out multiple people have experienced the same side effects. Allergies suck, but I don't think this is the right medication for me. | F | 26 | 3 months 50 1X day | 4/5/2013 | 1 | Nasal allergies | Insomnia, took at bedtime and my eyes popped open 2 hours after administration. Vivid dreams, muscle twitching, acne (noticed on day 4) anxiety, rapid heartbeat. Ankle pain on day 4 (sprained ankle 6 weeks ago and the pain had completely resolved) | My nose was inflamed from allergies and it feels like I injected steroids straight into my system. I'm so glad I took this because my 10 year old is on it and I had no idea that these were possible side effects as they were not listed on the insert or the pharmacy handout. I'm extremely sensitive to medications and have had life threatening reactions/ allergies to 3 medications. Almost mentioned my sensitivity to the doc but didn't. Won't make that mistake again! My child and I will be switching to the Neti pot. | F | 46 | 4 days 50 mg 1X day | 4/1/2013 | 5 | Allergies | F | 37 | 2 years 2x | 3/24/2013 | 1 | Sinuses | High anxiety and tiredness. Fatigue, crazy dreams...will never take again..ever!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks 50mcg | 3/13/2013 | 5 | Allergies | None | This stuff has helped me tremendously! I have been so miserable for years - - take daily Zyrtec or Clariten but they were never enough. This spray was a godsend for me - it cleared up my runny nose/congestion/sneezing very quickly. I feel SO much better! These other reviewers must be super-sensitive......you'd think it was some kind of hallucenagenic or something - just a steroid spray and it works great for regular peeps w/bad allergies. | F | 54 | 1X day | 2/27/2013 | 5 | Severe allergies | I used flonase for at least 6 years and didn't notice any side effects until about one year ago. I began to have a sharp, stabbing pain in my eye. The eye doctor said nothing was wrong. Finally, about a month ago, I was reading the insert and there it was ! The fact that it can cause eye pain. I stopped using it and so far the eye pain has stopped. I MISS MY FLONASE! | Unlike some people here, I won't blame flonase for every physical ailment I have ever had. One person swears that after using it one time they now have a "hole" in their nose, one woman says it gave her breast cancer. Sure.... This medicine kept me from having severe allergy attacks on a constant basis for at LEAST 6 years so I have benefitted from it tremendously. It kept my seasonal allergies (which for me are year-round) at bay. If you only use it one day and claim it didn't clear your nose, then you have no clue how it actually works. I just PRAY that I can find something that works like the flonase did for the first five years! I felt like a normal person for the first time. I am allergic to everything from dust to animals to everything that grows in nature. You have to use it for a period of time for it to take effect people! | F | 50 | 6 years 50 mcg 1X day | 2/25/2013 | 1 | severe allergies | Immediately after taking one spray in each nostril, I wanted to cough. Tickling in throat continued for rest of night. Took second dose 12 hrs later and felt nauseated, tired, and had pressure right between my eyes-like someone sitting on my head. Stomach very upset, kept belching after I ate soft foods, had severe runs the next day with abdominal pain. Did not take any more after second dose. I HATE THIS STUFF! It also felt like someone poured a bottle of perfume up my nose, the fragrance is so strong. | F | 1 days 50 mcg 1X day | 2/10/2013 | 1 | sinusitis | sleeplessness, high anxiety, vivid dreams, itchy eyes, funny taste in mouth, burning under eyes, all started on 5th day of use | Lol! I thought is was going nuts with my side effects until i started reading that others were having the same. | M | 33 | 6 days 50mcg 1X day | 2/6/2013 | 5 | allergies | Great! Gets rid of that pressure on my head Awful pain | F | 36 | 6 years 50mcg yr | 1/22/2013 | 1 | sinus post nasal drip | WOW!! this medication belongs to my 5 yr old. I tried it using the same dosage I give him. I used it at night. Not only did it worsen my congestion, but it caused severe insomnia. I fell asleep twice, but woke within a few minutes from nightmares that involved swat teams killing everyone. I was mean to my husband. I finally dragged myself out of bed because the resulting headache without the ability to sleep it away made me miserable. | My son never seems adversely affected. I realize this is more for allergies than a viral infection. I tried this out of desperation. My research has revealed that these side affects tend to occur more in women over 30. If you're acting or feeling nuts or off it's the Flonase. Stop immediately. | F | 37 | 1 days 1X day | 1/12/2013 |
