| 1 | chronic runny nose | Within minutes I had a had a headache and lightheaded general malaise feeling. The headach got worse and worse and I went to bed it was so bad. It's the next day. I still have it but it's a little better. | I'll never use it or any other nasal spray again. | F | 49 | 1 days 50 mcg bil 1X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | sinus inflammation | anxiety,increased rhinitis,Astelin no longer works-although I was told they can be taken together | hate it! | M | 60 | 14 days 1X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | Eustachian Tube Dysfunction | Headache, Nausea, Dizziness, Vision Irregularities, etc... | I took FLONASE for about 5 days until I had to stop because I started to experience some of the worst side effects I have ever had from a drug. I started taking FLONASE on monday, got sick on wednesday, stopped taking it on friday due to a terrible headache, and it is now sunday and I still feel horrible. I am glad though that I finally figured out that Flonase was what was causing my symptoms. It has been 2 days since I stopped using it, and I don't feel any better. CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW LONG THE SIDE EFFECTS LAST???? I don't care about differences between people, blah blah blah. I just really want to know does it take a few days, a few weeks, never? PLEASE E-MAIL ME IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING! | F | 19 | 2 months 50mcg 1X day | 3/13/2011 | 5 | sinusitis allergies | none | wish i had tried it sooner! no congestion or allergy medicine has ever helped that fast and without unwanted side effects!! | F | 46 | 3 days 1X day | 3/12/2011 | 1 | Allergies | The worse migraine headace I ever had, for 4days had to get shots for pain and nausea | MY doctor called in Nasornex and the insurance will not pay for it and the doctor change it to Flonase Use it the first night and had bad taste in my mouth and a headace that got worse, will never use it again. | F | 39 | 2 days 30mg 1X day | 3/9/2011 | 5 | allergies / post nasal drip | Possible increase in nose bleeds | I love it. Constant coughing all my life finally resolved. Allergies and job dust irritated membranes and caused the drip which stimulated coughing, sometimes so bad it would bring up stomach acid and leave me breathless. | M | 58 | 3 years Nasal mist 1X day | 3/6/2011 | 2 | Allergies | I noticed a major change in the size of my pupils. One pupil would be twice as large. It looked really strange. I am not experiencing blurry vision but worried that this is not a normal reaction. I just tried it one last time this morning and noticed the same thing. I also have the metallic taste in my mouth and feel anxious. | M | 27 | 3 days 50mcg 1X day | 3/6/2011 | 1 | sore throat, swollen tonsils | headaches,very irritable, weight gain | I kept getting tonsillitis, doc thought maybe sinus drainage was causing it. 3 weeks after taking 2 spays 2x day I was getting more irritable every day. headache on top of head and face every day. the third week I gained 5lb in 4 days. my taste and smell seem to be ok, but my morning cup of coffee has not been good lately. | F | 33 | 3 weeks 50 mcg 2X day | 3/4/2011 | 1 | Postnasal drip | Floaters, blurred vision, headache | M | 41 | 1 years 1 1X day | 3/3/2011 | 1 | Grass and Pollen allergies | Extremely sore throat. White sores on mouth, lips and tongue. SWOLLEN TONGUE...raw spots where I bit my poor swollen tongue repeatedly. Loss of taste and smell. Tongue feels constantly "burnt" and way too big. Everything tastes like rusty metal. Really irritable and angry and mean. I snapped at my four-year-old ON HER BIRTHDAY...for NO reason! I'm not me when I take this horrible drug. Joint pain. | It totally took care of my allergies. I could sit on the grass near flowers and not die in a wheezing fit. But I couldn't smell the flowers (or anything) or taste the picnic foods or speak without sounding like I had my mouth full (swollen tongue). And all this on half the rec dossage. Apparently the swollen tongue means I'm allergic to it. It took me a month to decide for sure that the side-effects are not worth the very effective allergy control. And now, coming off of it is a drag. My tongue is still swollen and sore, I'm so tired after SLEEPING 10 HOURS last night. I'm still irritable. My joints are killing me. I wish I never tried it. | F | 31 | 1 months 100 mcg 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 5 | Sinus drainage/post-nasaldrip with | Possible loss of smell/taste | I was in dire straits and unable to sleep due to non-stop coughing and lack of oxygen from chest congestion. Saline nose rinsing wasn't helping much and I was desperate. Flonase made the post nasal production stop finally, and after weeks of struggling can breathe and coughing stopped, thank goodness.I use w/ saline rinses (before using spray). LAck of smell/taste may be from still-funky sinuses and I wanted to lose a little weight anyway! | F | 50 | 4 days 50 mcg 2X day | 2/22/2011 | 1 | Nasal congestion | I developed severe, chronic nighttime/sleep-induced dry eye after using flonase for six weeks in 1998. The dry eye condition never resolved after discontinuing flonase use. Flonase permanently destroyed the meibomian gland function in my eyes. I did not experience dry eye prior using flonase. I was 22 when I took flonase, and am currently 35. There is no history of severe dry eye in my family. | M | 35 | 3 months 1X day | 2/21/2011 | 4 | seasonal allergies | Recently, much more nasal bleeding than usual. also, discovered a large, red looking place inside nostril. | It is amazing how many symptoms I have that others on this site have, but I never attributed it to flonase: anxiety disorder, beginning of cataracts, osteopenia, muscle and joint soreness. evidently, this med does NOT just stay in your nasal cavity. | F | 60 | 11 years whatever p 1X day | 2/18/2011 | 1 | Sinus pains, Especially in the ears | I have only been taking this for two days because the pain in my ears was so bad, and I am already having bad anxiety. I am even grinding my teeth! I have had four sprays in each nostril, and I thought it was helping, until about an hour ago. I feel anxious now and I want it to go away! | Find something else! I am! | F | 24 | 2 days 30mg 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 3 | allergies to pollen, grass, pets | Days 1 and 2 Severe reactions: headache, nausea, jittery nerves, anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, slight sore throat, loss of taste and smell, disorientation, intense eye pressure. | I'm on day 3 now and most of the side effects have worn off. I think you just needed time for your body to get used to a new medicine. Now I just have mild headache, mild disorientation, probably can't taste or smell as well as normally but it's probably a good thing because I'm allergic to perfumes as well as grass and pollen. I've had allergies for years but I started taking this medicine because of eye lid swelling that is getting out of hand. My doctor gave me this and allegra to try for 10 days to see any improvement. Honesty I have seen no improvement yet so I can't say if this medicine is going to work..but at least I can tolerate the side effects for the next 7 days. | F | 37 | 3 days 2 sprays 1X day | 2/17/2011 | 1 | Nasal Rhinitis | I took it for the first time, 1 spray of 50mcg per nostril, at 10am and could not taste my lunch at 12:30pm!!!! : ( Very upset. I hope my taste comes back for Valentines dinner! It cleared my sinuses for only approximately 30 minutes. I will not take it again. | F | 29 | 1 days 50mcg per 1X day | 2/11/2011 | 3 | allergies | I developed a central serous retinopathy (swelling under the macula) that caused blurry vision and seeing spots in one eye. My eye dr. said it was caused from using Flonase and hydrocortisone. It should go away in a few months. | As far as my allergies, the flonase was working great! I just have to choose between breathing through my nose and seeing!! | F | 35 | 8 weeks 100mcg 1X day | 2/9/2011 | 1 | Acute Sinusitis | tingling tongue, loss of taste and smell | Very annoyed. I've only been taking flonase for a few days and I already I feel like my taste buds aren't working as well. It's very frustrating! I'm using a net-pot and it seems to be helping with my dizziness and sinus headaches. I wish my doctor would have told me all the side effects of this drug beforehand. Hoping this isn't permanent! | F | 31 | 4 days 30 mg 1X day | 2/5/2011 | 1 | Inflammed sinuses and nasal drip | Feelings of congestion and nasal drip were releived BUT I developed a cough, tightness in my chest and asthmatic symptoms. | The relief was not worth the side effects that are taking too long to go away. | F | 49 | 15 days 2 squirts 1X day | 2/4/2011 | 1 | sinus conjestion | Bloody nose, SEVERE ANXIETY, VERY AGITATED, MOOD SWINGS, wanting to hurt someone | WILL NEVER USE THIS MEDICINE AGAIN!! | F | 33 | 3 days 50 mcg 2X day | 2/3/2011 |
