 1  Asthma Full body rash after sudden stop. Been a few weeks since that, now the itching won't go away no matter what (rash goes away with steroids but itching doesn't) and if I forget even one dose the rash starts showing up again. DO NOT TAKE! Headaches, changes in vision (blurry, eyes feel like there's always something in them), but the worst part is this rash that just won't go away. It's terrible! M 26 42 days

 2  Winter cough Headaches, weight gain, irritable, stressed, felt out of control I started gaining weight 4 weeks into it. Start of my 5th week I got migrain and had a headache for 1 1/2 weeks later. This is when I quit taking it. I was so irritable starting the 4th week that anyone could make me mad for saying anything. I felt like I couldn't handle my everyday life. I didn't want to die but I was fearful and stressed and that's not me. I think of u would have taken it no longer than 2 weeks I would have been fine but over five weeks was to long. F 44 6 weeks

 2  Chronic cough/asthma Aggression, mood changes, anxiety, chest pains. It took me a couple weeks to realize why I had become such an angry, aggressive person. My family noticed how different I was acting. Finally I realized it had to be the inhaler. It was the only medication I was on and had just started taking shortly before my mood changes began. I also had really scary chest pains that truly felt like I was having a heart attack. The medication did help my cough significantly so I'm really disappointed that it had such terrible side effects. I talked to my dr about these side effects and he claimed those types of side effects would be extremely rare. Well, apparently not that rare! Within 2 days of stopping use, I had a normal mood again. It's not a coincidence. F 28 3 weeks

 1  asthma I loved that it took away the need for a rescue inhaler. However I can't stand the horrible side effects. I have extreme anxiety, nervousness, high blood pressure, high heart rate and irregular heart beat, tiredness, tingling in my feet, sore throat, swollen throat. Sorry but I call it the drug from hell!! F 59 1 weeks

 5  Asthma Barely noticeable jitters, =/same as albuterol NO OTHER competitor comes even CLOSE to doing the job and getting it done, over with. Rarely have to employ it again, even not next day. Express Scripts overs 3 alternate "solutions" that fail miserably - does not cover Flovent & denies appeals. M 67 20 years

 1  asthma/allergy headaches, racing heart, paranoia, anxiety, schizophrenia, hallucinations, moody, stomach pains, night terrors I do not recommend this medication. My daughter has always been pleasant and happy go lucky. She was put on this medication to control her asthma and seasonal allergies. She began having night terrors and hallucination of a man in all black chasing her. She became very moody and aggressive towards everybody. She was very anxious. Her symptoms got to the point where she did not want to be alone at any given point. She was also on other medications for her asthma as well and after slowly discontinuing one medication at a time this was the last medication that she was on so I conclude that this is the medication that was affecting her. Especially after reading how she was experiencing the same symptoms as other children around her age. F 11 2 months

 3  Asthma Irritated throat, itchy skin, gerd It helped my lungs I think, but I started getting side effects of itchy skin and sore throat immediately upon use and I always rinse my mouth, and brush my teeth. That doesn't help. I wonder if I am allergic to the spray part of this, because I've tanken flonase and never gotten a sore throat. F 45

 1  Asthma Extreme anxiety, suicidal thoughts, hyperactivity, schizophrenia My daughter will never touch this drug again. She's been on it off and on, spriing and fall, for 2 years. I started her on it to get through spring allergies last week. Yesterday she told me she didn't want to be alive. Today the school called because she broke down and told them she was hearing voices from under the ground telling her not to believe in God and that she should come underground with them. Thank God for this site. I suspected the steroid when her usually happy behavior changed but now I know for certain the drug caused a psychotic episode. So many other moms with the exact same behaviors in formerly normal children including voices and suicidal thoughts. F 7 3 days

 4  Mild asthma Been on Flovent for almost a year on and off works better when u take breaks I'll be on it for 3 months then go off it until I start getting symptoms again then go back on it . Unfortunately too many side effects I get headaches and blood pressure goes up so make sure to exercise while on this medicine as you can gain weight. And don't consume too much sodium while on this medicine as it already raised blood pressure also it interferes with my menstrual cycle while I'm on it it hardly comes. I also get nightmares as well as blurry vision best to monitor your vision while on this medication as it can cause glaucoma if used long term. These are things I have experience while on this medication as well as dizzines and feeling lightheaded also mood swings I would get moody while on this medicine as well as sadness and extreme fatigue tingling of the feet and legs as well. Also changes in my blood work while on this drug but as soon as I would stop the medicine my bloodwork would go back to normal.also pain in the stomach and abdominal area as well as pelvic pain. If you are going to take this medicine please work with your doctor to monitor your symptoms and keep track of all side effects so he can adjust your medication accordingly. Everyone reacts different but this is how my body reacted to it. But it does help with my asthma and I get hardly if any attacks at all while on Flovent hfa 110 mcg. F 29 3 months

 1  chronic cough extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, brain fog, muscle aches, abdominal pain, weird dreams, mild depression, sleepy all the time, wheezing, dry tight cough, hypertension, increased glucose levels, numbness in leg and arm, inability to concentrate, blurred vision, weight gain I have never experienced any of the "scary" side effects that are listed on Rx drugs. I always thought they were so crazy and could not believe that anybody would ever really experience such bizarre effects. Well I stand corrected. Never filled out something like this before but just had to add my two cent's worth to the discussion. This drug is making my life very different and I am only now connecting the dots. I have every intention of stopping this drug today and I will be very curious to see how my life changes. I cannot believe how adversely this drug has affected me. I am usually immune to all the side effects and actually don't even bother reading the "enclosed leaflet" which goes into great length to describe what MIGHT happen on this drug. I just didn't think it could happen to me BUT now I know that I am not immune - not to this drug. If you are experiencing any of these or similar symptoms - look to FLOVENT - don't dismiss them and don't think it's just you - it isn't. F 67 2 months

 1  Asthma My son has been on Flovent for 2 months for his asthma. He's always been a great kid, never any tantrums or behavior issues. Over the past month, we have noticed heightened anxiety, tics (clenching and unclenching his fists to relieve anxiety), OCD tendencies, inability to cope with the smallest frusterations, tantrums and anger. I couldn't figure out where this behavior was coming from, given that there have been no other changes in his life and he has a great day to day stress free environment. After reading these posts my husband and I are sure this is the cause. I'm stopping this horrid medication immediately. I will be calling his doc to see what our other options are. M 7 1 days

 5  Asthma On increased doses when ill, (880 mcg daily) I have experienced vivid strange dreams,as well as increased agitation. But,these side effects never deterred me from continuing therapy. On my normal doseage(440 mcg daily) I experience NO side effects at all. This inhaler has improved my quality of life immensely. I have not had an attack in 15+ years because of being on Flovent. There have been many times that I have been sick with bronchitis and my Asthma would flare up..without this I would have been hospitalized. I highly recommend long term usage. F 40 10 years

 1  Diagnosed Asthma Vomited twice, Hyper, Insomnia, Hallucinations (especially about spiders), Hallucinations of sensations in his face and feet, nightmares, irrational fears from my typically fearless child. My other son had a reaction to this same medicine in 2005. He also hallucinations, irrational fears (terrified of tree frogs even though he loved them), nightmares, banging his head on the floor, anger, rage, major anxiety. I can't tell you how many times I have had a doctor tell me how extrememly rare these side effects are. I didn't want my 2nd son even trying Flovent because of the reaction my first son had. I was bullied into it at this latest appointment and here we are again. These side effects look pretty common to me after reading all of the other reports! M 7 3 days
