 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

 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

 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.

 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

 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

 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.

 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

 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

 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

 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

 2  Sinus pain Increase in anxiety and panic attacks, achy joints and limited body movement, out of breath, dizziness, and feelings of anger. I didn't realize this had a steroid in it until my body started aching, just as it had when I was on Advair. A doctor told me how terrible steroidal drugs are on your body and we pieced together all the new symptoms I had been having. I was heading down that same path quickly with Flonase. In addition, I have been extremely agitated and angry - not to mention my anxiety level has been through the roof. Not sure the drug helped my sinus pain yet - but the side effects are too much.

 2  nasal congestion due to allergies The first a.m. after taking it I had a slight sore throat, after second time my sore throat was worse and felt slightly achy,headache. Felt better last night, used it again, and woke up in the middle of the night, congested, achy, headache,coughing, nasal passages swollen, chest burning. Not sure if I'm coming down with the flu/cold or a reaction. Seems too coincidental. Felt fantastic before I used it. My DR. advised me to stop using it and see how I feel. I'll update this again.

 2  Sinusitus COMPLETE LOSS OF TASTE AND SMELL! I'm SO upset - I'm the type of person who LOVES food - I "live to eat" and not eat to live. This is PURE TORTURE for me. I couldn't me more upset or depressed about the food / taste aspect of this side affect. Horrible. Does ANYONE have ANY history of how long it will take for me to get my taste back???? Someone, anyone, PLEASE email me! :-( F 43 1 months
