| 1 | Copd/asthma | Anxiety, anger, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, chest pain, shoulder pain, diarrhea. | I've been off of it for 3 days now and I'm still freaking out.

Little things set him off. | M | 4.5 | 4 days | 2/11/2020 | 1 | Asthma | Kept getting bronchitis and sinus infections on Flovent. Weakened my immune system. Whenever I got sick, made my lungs way worse. Which was quite ironic. Awful experience. Finally started seeing a naturopath who tapered me off the inhaled poison, and am now managing my lungs with botanical medicine — which works amazing and has zero side effects! Don’t take this, see a naturopath instead and actually heal your lungs. | F | 34 | 6 months | 1/25/2020 | 1 | Not.sure cough100 mcg | Tightness in chest, chronic dry cough, insomnia, diareha | I saw no difference until 6 days later.

I took Ritalan since I was 12 years old. I Believe this is why there are zero side effects Something to do with the hyperactivity virtually no side effects or allergies to any medications! I hope this helps! | M | 60 | 20 days 440 MCG | 9/23/2019 | 5 | Transient asthma croup | This has been life saving for my son. He has currently transient asthma that causes croup inflammation that narrows his throat to the point of hospitalization. From the time he was 18 months we dreaded any respiratory virus as he would croup. Started this at age 6 at the lowest possible dose per our allergist and we have not had any issues or one croup related transient episode. And my son has had no side effects that have been mentioned on this board. The pediatrician is more mindful of growth just in case, but we are not worried because there are things for that too and the benefits outweigh the risks in that case. | Make sure you have an allergist that starts at the lowest doses possible for treatment effectiveness with monthly follow ups until achieved. Some start too high, and it might be cAusing side effect issues. | M | 8 | 2 years 88mcg | 5/4/2019 | 1 | My son was taking it for ashma | This drug is an EVIL DAMN DRUG. DO NOT TAKE IT. it gets in the air because it is an inhaler and it causes dry mouth, light headedness, blurry vision, and body aches and pains. What in the hell is in this drug? | F | 33 | 4 months | 4/25/2019 | 1 | Chronic Cough | Night terrors, insomnia, hallucinations, irritability | I’ve had similar side effects when I was on Singulair a few years ago. Not really sure what a good alternative could be, but definitely am discontinuing use. It’s extremely scary for me as an adult, so I can’t imagine how scary it has been for children. | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 4/14/2019 | 2 | Asthma | Anxiety, dry throat ( drinking tons of water did not help) hacking cough, stomach discomfort, chest tightness. General crummy feeling, like I was coming down with something. After going off medicine, (it takes a few days to get out of your system) you will feel better. | I have "mild" asthma (I can't speak for those who suffer with it being more severe) so I would rather put up with the shortness of breath I get from exertion than to put up with all of these side effects. | F | 57 | 7 days 110 1X day | 1/22/2019 | 1 | Asthma | Extreme dizziness, ear ringing, worse lung issues, extreme blood sugar issues, panic attacks. | I was on this medication for a week for newly diagnosed asthma. I suddenly was dizzy, with ringing ears all of the time, my lungs hurt far more then they had before hand, I could not regulate my blood sugar, I was having major panic attacks, unsure if I was dying. The only thing I could attribute it to was this medication. I did not take it at all yesterday, and today I still have all of the same symptoms, but perhaps not quite as severe. | F | 32 | 7 days 44mcg 2X day | 12/26/2018 | 2 | Asthma | My sweet, compliant and affectionate son has become a monster on this drug. He is aggressive, defiant, unable to soothe himself or be distracted; he hits and spits and says terrible things with the intention to shock and hurt. He was like a different child. I thought his behavior was “three-nager” stuff I had heard of, but after he was sent home from pre school for hitting, I began researching this drug. I’m so grateful I found this site. We will be discontinuing our use and switching to Qvar. I want my little boy back! | I will say, his asthma was very well controlled in this drug, but the side effects are too grisly for us to bear. | M | 3 | 1 months 110 mcg | 9/3/2018 | 3 | A stubborn cough after a cold | Sore throat, it started the third day and got really bad I thought i was getting down with a strep infection. I stopped the med and called the doctor and he changed it to another one. I am still waiting for teh soreeness to go away. it'ls been two full days. | M | 39 | 4 days 2 puffs 2X day | 3/28/2018 | 1 | Asthma | Seizures, Extreme Anxiety, Extreme Insomnia, Night Terrors, Hallucinations, Anger, Bipolar Behavior, Systemic Eosinophelia (presented in blood work and by severe skin condition), EEG showed Brain Toxicity in the way seizures presented | My sweet, kind, calm daughter had been on Flovent for several years. She had also been on Singulair as a combined treatment for part of that time (google Singulair side-effects - they are equally horrible). Gradually, we watched our dear daughter develop severe anxiety issues causing her to rip at her skin until she bled, severe insomnia, mood swings, terrifying dreams and visions, she kept saying the floor was opening up and evil creatures with red eyes were trying to get her to fall in, and a severe skin disorder (beyond typical eczema). She also developed systemic eosinophelia which presented in blood tests and by severe allergic reactions and an all over body rash, Finally, she started to have seizures out-of-the blue. Neurologists said her brain was showing an unusual pattern, and they could only conclude it was from a toxicity from something. The whole while, we kept giving our daughter flovent daily (she was 8 years old by this time, but had been gradually getting worse since she was 7 years old). Fast forward 2.5 years. Our daughter has been off Flovent for 18 months, but we are just now making the connection to Flovent and Singulair as the cause. Our daughter has had a long road to recovery (probably since she was on the medications so long). Everything is improving, and her mood is happy again. She still has seizures, though they, too, are improving. I am praying she can make a full recovery in time. PLEASE, PARENTS!! CAREFULLY CONSIDER USING THIS DRUG! | F | 8 | 4 years 44 mcg 2X day | 10/16/2017 |
