 2  Alergies / Hayfever 95% loss of smell and taste. Tingle in feet. Athsmatic condition. Blurred vision. Easily agitated. Weigth gain of 20 lbs. I have been using flonase for a while now. While it did help with my allergies, about a year ago, I noticed my sense of taste and smell was lost by about 95%. I have not used it for about a month now and once in a while I notice a slight sense of smell coming back. I am less easily irritated. I have been doing a salt water nasal flush every 3 days for the past month. M 45 2 years

 4  Allergies floral smell, burning sensation, mild affect on sense of smell I have been suffering from allergy symptoms that we have been unable to identify the cause of. All my allergy tests come back not allergic to anything. I get completely blocked on one side and suffered from sinus migraines that left me unable to think, see or function that would last for days at a time. The otc Sudafed and similar products worked to relieve the headaches so I could function but left me jittery, anxious, irritable and unable to sleep well. I suffered for about a year before I sought allergy testing to try to determine the cause of these sinus migraines. They are caused by something in my home, narrowed it down to that. I purchased a very large and expensive air purifier which has relieved about 90% of my symptoms. I still get congested with headaches sometimes and my doctor perscribed generic Flonase. I do not like the product, I don't like using nasal sprays and do worry about the side effects. I use it weekly, only when my nasal passage gets blocked and the headache returns. I have gone weeks without it and do notice the smell issues go away until I use it again. I always spit out the immediate flow of mucous that follows using the spray. It will last about an hour. The floral smell and taste are hard to take but I feel this product is better then the side effects of the otc medication which I had to take a couple of times a day. F 34 5 months

 3  seasonal allergies Vision problems, where bright lights shining on my eyes would result in distracting glazed patterns on the surface of my eyes that would last for as long as an hour, a problem which I feared would result in cataracts. It helped my allergies, but the risk of vision problems seems too great. I wish my doctor had covered the possible side effects when prescribing Flonase, so I would have known what to be on the lookout for. M 68 4 years

 1  Rhinitus, Post-Nasal Drip Total loss of smell I took this medication for THREE nights before I went to bed for rhinitus and post-nasal drip that was giving me trouble sleeping. After THREE nights of single doses, I lost about 90% of my sense of smell. Still has not returned after FOUR MONTHS. My ENT doesn't believe it to be the cause. Like Olfactory Gnomes came into my bedroom and stole my sense of smell. WTF, when is it going to return? The company should be sued and the medication banned. Anyone else having this problem and can share their experience with me, shoot me an e-mail. M 40 3 days

 2  Persistent nasal congestion Insomnia and, when able to sleep, very vivid and sad dreams. I had to reduce the original dose (2 sprays per nostril BID) to only 1 spray per nostril, once a day just so that I could sleep. Even when at full strength (about 4 days), I got no relief from the congestion. To be fair, though, my Dr told me not to expect any benefit for 2 weeks. I would be tired during the day but when I tried to sleep, my eyes were wide open and I could not fall asleep for hours. Then, when I *would* fall asleep, I would wake up crying. I still take it, but I wouldn't fill another Rx if offered. F 46 10 days

 1  Allergies, Post Nasal Drip Loss of smell and Taste I was taking intermittently for allergies. Caught a cold, increased my usage to daily. Lost my taste and smell. This was 8 months ago. I continued using it because I thought the cold damaged my Olfactory nerve. I finally gave up on it ever healing. I stopped the flonase. Since stopping it I have regained about 50% of smell and taste. Note: During this time I had stopped for a few weeks and noticed smell and taste starting to come back. Then when allergies got bad I resumed and the taste and smell started disappearing again. I am now taking something differently for Allergies.

 2  Sinus Problems I was doing fine at first..then I started having mild headaches. Woke up one morning..thought someone was beating me! The pain was mainly in the back of my neck, shooting down my spine and shoulders. I though my heart was going to explode..it was beating so hard. The sad thing is I have Lupus and I believe it triggered a flare up..it's day 5 with out using it...and I am still feeling the pain! It truly work for a minute...obviously there are a few quirks to figure out. F 48 4 months

 3  Seasonal Allergies I use flonase for my seasonal allergies. I do not use it on a regular basis - only when I absolutely need it. I recently had unusual side effects. I become anxious -- very similiar to a panic attack and had suicidal thoughts. Flonase does not state these symptoms on its side effects label! While Flonase did relieve my allergies. I rather used something that does not make be feel suddenly anxious. F 25 6 months
