| 1 | Sinus Infection | CONTINUEING OF MY STORY - And now it being Day 12 on being off this LIFE DESTROYING nasal drug I am feeling 100 % better. AMEN ! And all the terrible symptoms I mentioned are fading away pretty fast. Boy did I LEARN a LESSON . I am now on a Strict Live Green Vegetable Diet, Very Low Sugar , No Meat except Fish and i've become . If people could eat like our Grandpa and Grandma Adam and Eve, we would be living in a Healthy World. | And Let Me add to this Story....... My Mom passed away at 62 years of age on May 30th 2011. She was also on another Nasal Spray that I believe what caused her to have a heart attack and die. And She and I both was on Antibiotics, which is another horrible story. Antibiotics do kill bacteria, but they also kill the GOOD BACTERIA in your Body and that cause health problems like Fungus Infection /Candida Yeast Infection in the Body. THESE DRUGS SHOULD BE BANNED !!!!! Please WARN others about these dangerous drugs. GODJESUS BLESS , Greg | M | 43 | 10 months 50 1X day | 7/31/2012 | 1 | Nasal Infection Allergy | Terrible Anxiety, Nervousness, Rapid Heart Rate, High Blood Pressure, Tight Chest,Tingling in Left side of my body from Head to Toes, Couldn't Sleep, Heart Missing a Beat,Ringing in Ear, Depression, Suicide Thoughts | Terrible Anxiety, Nervousness, Rapid Heart Rate, High Blood Pressure, Tight Chest,Tingling in Left side of my body from Head to Toes, Couldn't Sleep, Heart Missing a Beat,Ringing in Ear, Depression, Suicide Thoughts I was prescribed Flonase (also called Fluticasone) by a Doctor. She gave me NO WARNINGS about this medication. Two Days after I took 1 spray in each nostril per day I came down with a ANXIETY ATTACK that I have never experienced in my life time. My Heart was Racing to probably 120 bpm, my head felt like it was going to explode and I couldn't get no calmness. So then I hurried up and called the Doctor and He put me on Xanax. It did help me calm down and get some rest, but I don't recommend to get on this because it can be addictive. Well, as the week went by while being on the Xanax My heart would still keep missing a beat or it would beat 2 times real fast. It shook me up so much I had to lay down and hope and PRAY to JESUS for it to go away. It got so bad I had to call for a Ambulance to take me to the Hospital. This Happened 5 Different times in 2011 to the E.R. I thought I was going to Die everytime this happen. This has never happened to me before ever in my Life time. I haven't been to a Doctor since 1992 and haven't been in the Hospital since 1990 when I had a successful brain operation for my epilepsy and quit taking those anti depressant drugs for epilepsy. I am a Very Health Conscious and Physically Fit Kind of Guy. | M | 43 | 10 months 50mg 1X day | 7/30/2012 | 5 | Allergic rhinitis | Blood when blowing nose sometimes. | I can breath at night if I take it once during the morning and once at night. I am going to try going down to once at night because that is my main problem. | F | 40 | 1 months 50 mg 2X day | 7/26/2012 | 1 | chronic nasal congestion | Extreme anxiety, muscle twitching, insomnia, | I was completely shocked to realize that anxiety is a side effect of Flonase. I've been taking it for 6 months and have been having severe anxiety attacks off and on the whole time. I read the side effects on the drug and of course this isn't mentioned or I would never have taken it. | F | 45 | 6 months 2 sprays 1X day | 7/25/2012 | 1 | Allergies/Sinus congestion | Could not sleep. Nightmares. Excess worry. Loss of smell. | I used a generic of this drug. Same thing. Same effects. As far as I'm concerned, all drugs are bad. These are inhaled steroids and have the same effects as any kind of steroids, inhaled, ingested, or otherwise. Some medications are even MORE absorbed when inhaling them in. I would rather suffer with sinus congestion. My Naturopath told me this medication can thin the mucous membrane and cause nose bleeds (among many other things). My advice to others, don't take this. | F | 45 | 3 days 30 mg 2X day | 7/24/2012 | 3 | Seasonal allergy | vision loss | works very well on allergies, I was very happy until retina specialist said it was the cause of fluid buildup under retina causing vision loss and ordered to stop taking.Now I can only hope I get my vision restored. | M | 54 | 18 months 50mcg 1X day | 7/20/2012 | 3 | post nasal drip due to allergies | For my 8-9 year old son. At first it was great - really cleared up his throat clearing and drippy nose. About a month in, though, he started getting anxiety attacks. He's always been a little anxiety prone, but this was worse: dizzy, heart racing, etc. I thought it was just due to school issues. But then school let out for summer. Anxiety continued, plus, moodiness! Depressive moods would strike where he couldn't say what was wrong, but just be in tears. And he's always been such a happy kid. And then weird mouth grimacing-like twitches. My husband suggested in might be the flonase. I took him off it right away. Next day, every symptom improved by 50%! Within the next few days he seemed normal again. When his nasal drip problems returned a week later, I thought I'd try the flonase less often, maybe a couple times a week. I gave him a dose, and then two days later the grimacing started to come back. I think I am done with the flonase. It's scaring me. I'd rather have him with a | Works good for what it was made for. I don't know if it should be used in children though. | M | 9 | 2 months 50 mc 1X day | 7/15/2012 | 3 | Allergies, Asthma, Post Nasal Drip | Muscle twitching/spasms, sleepless nights, excessive worry | The muscle twitching freaked me out and I am not sure its the Flonase but after reading some posts, I stopped as of today. I am really freaked out about the spasms and hope they go away soon. It did help my post nasal drip and ability to breathe but its not worth the trade off. | F | 44 | 8 days 2 Sprays 1X day | 7/14/2012 | 1 | SORE THROAT/ALLGERY-post nasal drip | Bloody Mucus from nose, but went away after a week. It did seem to help my throat, but I had started coughing about one or two weeks after beginning the medication. I also had a burning sensation in my trachea that has diminished, but now moved up to my throat, mouth, nose with eye dryness. My sense of smell is different and taste as well, almost like a sharp, metallic smell and taste. Because of the cough, I needed a Chest x-ray which showed two small nodules in right upper lung. Now, a little after two months of starting the medication, I have all the symptoms of Acid Reflux. I also was very agitated in the beginning and since I tend to worry, I didn't think much of it. I still am not sleeping right, but this might be from the worry. But I hope it is not the medication. | I will forever regret going to the clinic for my sore throat, but it was different and I needed to see someone. I didn't question like I normally do when I was told it was an allergy, since I do not have allergies or have not had them since childhood. I also regret even more that I did not properly read the insert. I thought I had. If the words...loss of smell and taste, cataracts and glaucoma were noticed, I can tell you now I would have NEVER taken this medication. I can only hope that these side effects will diminish and I don't end up with something worse. It breaks my heart every day when I think of how ignorant I was in not asking questions and especially why I didn't ask for something over the counter. I was not on any medications before this and I am 54. In the last two months, I have been on two antibiotics, Singular and now probably Prilosec. All because of a few weeks of Flonase. This medication should be banned!!! | F | 54 | 6 weeks 50 MCG 2X day | 7/6/2012 | 1 | difficulty breathing, swelling | Waiting to see allergist. Bad muscle spasms in 9 year old child. Most recently it clicked and I researched online. Problems breathing intensified. Muscle spasms are awful. Took child to the ER and it is not the heart. | Cannot give any longer to child because while off the medication the spasms disappeared but the past two days of restarting it proved to be the worst. Intense jabs in chest, sides immediately after taking it and awful at night - up all night with muscle spasms. | F | 9 | 3 months 2 sprays 1X day | 6/27/2012 | 2 | Tinnitus from Sinus | Anxiety!!, Weak muscles, Decreased or no desire for sex, Fatigue, Headaches. Feeling of being "out of it" | It took 6 weeks for me to find this website. about 4 weeks for me to develop all the side effects listed. I still have the Tinnitus the ENT said was sinus induced. | M | 31 | 6 weeks 50 2X day | 6/25/2012 | 3 | Fluid In Ears | Anxiety, Anger, Irritability, Dizziness (felt drunk), crying spells, shaking, urinary problems, muscle spasms, increased appetite I started taking this for extreme fluid in the ears that were causing my ear drums to retract. Immeditly after taking, i felt the drug working. It seemed to drain my ears pretty well. However, I also noticed the side effects the next day. I became incredibly moody and aggitated. Any little thing would send me into a rage filled crying spell. I decided to bring my dose down to 1 spray in each nostril a day. The side effects lessened but were still there. I also noticed that I was having urinary problems. I fellt like I had a UTI (feeling that I had to go all the time & pressure when I did go) but I was told by the Dr. I did not. I stopped taking this medicine & all the side effects have pretty much dissappeared. I am still experiencing some anxiety but I am feeling much better. This drug helped my ears but the side effects were not worth it. I will ask my doctor for something else next time. | F | 19 | 1 months 2 X Day | 6/15/2012 | 3 | Sinus Allergies | Anxiety. My blood pressure went up a little bit. I'm usually really low. | I've never had panic attacks or anything, and this Med is my first experience with frequent anxiety. It's detrimental to my work. It cures my allergies. In fact, it's the only thing that has cured them in years, and I've tried a ton of allergy pills. I'm extremely disappointed that I may need to stop taking it due to anxiety. I plan to cut back and see what that does. If it's still happening, then I'll have to quit Flonase completely. | F | 36 | 1 months 50 mcg 1X day | 6/13/2012 | 1 | Allergies | Insomnia, anxiety, migrane headaches, dry eyes | Had terrible insomnia where I would stay awake past sunrise and still not be able to sleep even though I have never had problems with insomnia in my life. Felt anxious during the day. Also had a few migraine headaches with visual disturbances. I didn't know what was causing these problems, but the only change in my life was that I started taking Flonase for my allergies. Didn't realize a nasal spray could wreak so much havok until I read complaints online. | M | 31 | 1 months 1X day | 6/13/2012 | 1 | seasonal allergies | Fatigue, unmotivated, lathargic,severe sinus headache, dizzy, bad mood swings. I started taking this a couple of months ago. At first it worked for my allergies so I stopped. I started feeling icky again so I started using it last week. I believe I feel worse than before I started taking it. So I'm throwing that junk straight into the trash can. | F | 26 | 10 days | 6/10/2012 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | Unpleasant numbness/tingling in hands and feet, tiredness, decreased ability to concentrate (felt drunk), dry mouth and eyes, partial loss of senses of taste/smell. | Think this company really needs to look into some of these side effects. The tingling hands/feet and limbs keeps popping up in these ratings and yet, when I called my doctor and asked, it is not a recognized side effect. Doctor's response was to just keep taking it. Yeah? Were I to keep taking this drug I would not be functional. Didn't remember half the work I did earlier today and have had to use a Chinese exercise ball in my hand to keep the tingling down as I worked. Flonase will be flowing on to the trash can. Unhappy patient. | F | 32 | 1 days 2 sprays 1X day | 6/8/2012 | 1 | asthma/allergies | acid re-flux and nausea (bad), creeping anxiety, tiredness, lethargy | good lord! glad I looked. was taking prednisone for five days. Very bad heartburn. Called dr. and they said it's the pred. Days later, still feel terrible. Thouhgt now, it was the singular as it is new too. Nope, three days later, still nauseated. Taking three different anit-acids, nausea meds. nothing works. also been feeling depressed and anxious. Have a past of depression and anxiety, so this alarms me as I never want to go back to feeling that way! Going to stop and see if it makes a difference. | F | 45 | 2 weeks 2 sprays 1X day | 6/8/2012 | 4 | Sinus problems | Joint pain soon after starting this drug. Then I started to feel very tired and unmotivated all the time. I actually didn't like to drive because I felt I wasn't as safe as I would prefer to be. Could not function at work as efficiently as before, and was very concerned about this and the sudden joint pain. Thought I was seriously ill because nothing else in my life had changed, in fact I made sure to eat as well as I could and to take my vitamins every day, hoping to get back to my old self. Only getting off this drug made me feel better. | I only took this product for 5 months. The inital benefits were wonderful, but then as the ingredients in this product started to build up in my body, and my body tried to purge this drug, it started to effect my joints, and then my general feeling of well being. I just felt 'not good' in general. Finallly it hit me one day that all my ailments started just after starting the Flonase. Stopped the Flonase, and now its crazy to say this but everything is back to normal!! | F | 32 | 5 months 1X day | 6/7/2012 | 1 | sinusitus /allergies | headaches everyother day and very bad memory loss, complete space out memory loss never experienced before | did help me breath better through my nose for my allergies but the side efects were brutal | M | 46 | 30 days 2X day | 6/6/2012 | 1 | Sinus pressure | Insomnia, pain in teeth and gums | F | 35 | 2 days 50 mcg | 6/1/2012 |
