I just started 6 days ago-helps with congestion/headache, but makes me sleepy... will start using at night. Flonase wasn't helping much anymore.

This medication produces a foul taste and also relays that taste to food at a meal a coupe=le of hour later. When I say foul, it's so bad that this medication does not measure up.

Awesome stuff... I have tried almost everthing there is on the market over the years. I started using this when it first came on the market in 1997 and still it is the only thing that gives me relief. Mostly use at night due to the sleepness, but I can also use in the morning while drinking a cup of coffee. The caffine seems to ward off the drowiness.

It's too soon to get another Kenalog shot, so the doc put me on this stuff. Very expensive and does NOT help at all. Eyes itchy and watery, sneezing, etc. Am counting down the days until I can get another shot!
