I strongly feel that the use of Flonase triggered a very difficult struggle with overwhelming anxiety. It took me some time to connect the dots, but since I made the connection, I’m convinced this drug is very dangerous. I immediately disconnected use and will never take again.

First of all, I hesitate to take or use any medicine. If You are not dying I won’t use any medication, and Corticosteroids are the worst in the line. I don’t like the western medicine because you treat one problem and you get 5 more as a result of the use of medicine. You don’t cure the first problem and now you have 5 more to deal with. This nasal medicine was prescribed to me and after reading ... Show Full Comment

This nasal medicine was prescribed to me and after reading the side effects, I won’t use it, it scares me. The only thing Big Pharmaceuticals company care is your money, they do not care about your health. So stay away from Fluticasone/ Flonase. I won’t even try it after reading all the bad side effects people have experienced.

Then my nasal passages started to become very dry and uncomfortable to breathe through my nose. After that i started to become very uncomfortable, i had anxiety that ive rarely experienced before, racing mind that i couldn't keep focused and depression that prevented me from doing anything but work. Ive stopped using it now for 2 days and those things have gone away for the most part. Ive got my focus back and anxiety has lowered quite a bit. Depression is better than it had been. So for me i won't take it again it was an uncomfortable experience. It did what it says it will but the side effects are not worth it in my case.

COULD HAVE DIED! I had a bit of a nasty cold maybe flu and took Flonase per doctor's advice. After a couple days, I woke one night with violent vomiting, shaking badly with fever. Went back to bed and the next morning my whole face was swolen up, still vomiting, fever of 103.5, the forty minutes I took to get me into the local resort town clinic seemed like four hours - collapsed on the flo ...

COULD HAVE DIED! I had a bit of a nasty cold maybe flu and took Flonase per doctor's advice. After a couple days, I woke one night with violent vomiting, shaking badly with fever. Went back to bed and the next morning my whole face was swolen up, still vomiting, fever of 103.5, the forty minutes I took to get me into the local resort town clinic seemed like four hours - collapsed on the floor in the clinic waiting room. Apparently, Flonase dried out nasal tissues to the extent that they ruptured and bacteria from an abscess leaked into the soft tissue in my face - back home an ENT did a follow-up MRI and confirmed what happened by way of seeing the scar tissue! Clinic doc in resort town nearly had me air-lifted to a hospital, but five daily one gram shots of antibiotics in my butt cheek saved me. Ruined the vacation, but I lived! The clinic doc, an old-school guy, gruffly said to me as I lay on the gurney during a brief moment of lucidity on my part, "Never put anything up your nose except saline!" I recently was pre-perscribed for a nasal polyp. Experienced some other side effects mentioned here, including facial pain, weird dreams, etc... and its effectiveness seems to have stopped. USE WITH CAUTION make sure you do not over-dry your nasal cavity!

Was very pleased to have allergy relief after a few days of using Flonase. Then I started having â??shaky nerves and anxietyâ? and high heart rate. Eventually made the connection with Flonase.

Was very pleased to have allergy relief after a few days of using Flonase. Then I started having â??shaky nerves and anxietyâ? and high heart rate. Eventually made the connection with Flonase. Am only posting here for anyone else that may be searching for answers. It is apparent that this steroid works for some- yet not for all. I stopped using it (as directed) about a week ago - still having same symptoms. I urge caution. Would much rather have itchy eyes - runny nose - than feeling like I may end up in the ER or dying!
