For Allergic Rhinitis "After two months of really bad summer seasonal hay fever, and knowing it is not good to keep using non-steroidal decongestants indefinitely, my GP suggested I try this. Down side it was not available on Pensioner Subsidy scheme so I had to pay full tote odds for one bottle. Tried one spray and initial reaction was that it tasted awful, but within ten minutes (and instead of my partial congestion easing), my sinuses were totally blocked. After flushing with saline spray, I used the old spray - and within 10 minutes I could breathe again through my cleared nose. I wish I had read these reviews before I wasted my money "

For Allergic Rhinitis "This product has literally been a life-saver! I was not able to function from day to day without severe sinus headaches that would turn into migraines, but this product has given me my life back. I use half the recommended dose, one spray in each nostril once a day, but I've had no side effects at all. I didn't do well with a plain steroid nasal spray, and a plain antihistamine nasal spray didn't work at all, but this combination has worked like a charm. I've been on it for a couple of years, and I have only one complaint: it's expensive!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "My doctor gave me a sample of Dymista. I used one spray in each nostril and it tastes terrible. It did help with allergies, but I was exhausted, had strange dreams, unable to drive, and had to cancel a trip. I had the worst fatigue 36 hours after taking Dymista and that was with two nights of sleep. It made me feel drunk. It ruined my weekend. If one dose has this affect, long term used could have terrible side effects."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have had sinusitis for last 4 weeks - doctor prescribed dymista & I have had it for the last 2 days. The worst drug I've ever taken. Felt weak & emotional - on the verge of tears. Had to go to bed at 7pm. It was an expensive experience as it cost me €42"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I have been using this nasal spray for three weeks now, and I have had the toughest time with side effects. I have been having headaches, sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. Although it has helped with my allergies, I don't think it's worth all of this!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "The first several times of using this nasal spray almost made me barf. Actually, come to think of it, I did barf. However, I will say that this is the MOST effective nasal spray on the market! Most websites with information about Dymista (even their own website) are stating that it takes up to a week for the medication to work. I have not had to wait that long. For me, the spray works within seconds. I have allergies all year round. I visited my allergist and had a skin prick test done...allergic to everything...trees, pollen, dust, cockroach dust, grass, ..anything you can think of. I am not happy about the price, and am very hopeful that soon, the price will drop a little. "

For Allergic Rhinitis "As someone who has had multiple hospitalisations every year due to chronic allergic asthma, I cannot believe how wonderful this medication is!!! It has enabled me to breathe properly through my nose for the first time in years!! I still take my oral antihistamine too but this spray is truly a miracle! I am on lots of medication daily and I can honestly say this is the first medication I have ever felt has actually 'worked' for me. In that I noticed a huge difference and improvement when taking it. Usually I never know if medication actually works but with this I can say for sure that it has been incredible."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My ENT prescribed this for me and it is so totally amazing. I have not had headaches, or drowsiness as mentioned by others. I must be using it properly because I have never tasted it. All I know is my nose is not running all the time, I don't have to always have a tissue in my hand and I can go for walks without having to pay the consequences of being outside. It is expensive, but I'm worth it! LOL"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allergies had absolutely taken over my life. I was regularly sniffly if not in full blown sneezing attacks all year round. I'd tried everything I could find and nothing ever worked. When a new doctor suggested I tried this I didn't expect it to my any different but its been life changing. As long as I keep taking this one or two sprays a day, it keeps my symptoms at bay. If I forget it for two consectuive days they come back with a vengeance. Its also settled my asthma so I've been able to reduce my inhalers. Yes there's a taste from it but honestly I still couldn't recommend this enough. I'm in northern Ireland so get it free on prescription but I would absolutely pay for if I needed to."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Wonderful product, but extremely overpriced. The active ingredients (azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate) can be purchased separately for about $35 dollars vs. Dymista for about $200. My insurance company covers the azelastine for $20 and fluticasone (Flonase) is available OTC for about $15. My insurance company knows this, as well, and stopped covering Dymista in January."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I loved dymista when I started using it. Now after using several months I have horrible sores inside my nose, cold and hot chills, no energy to the point of not being able to get out of bed on my own, white spots just inside my nostrils. My nose is constantly bleeding and my family doctor justs laughs at me. I now have an appointment at an ENT."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My doctor prescribed this instead of the Flonase I've taken for a month. I have severely swollen sinuses, history of sinus surgeries. After a few days of use the headache has gotten so bad I have to stop use. I've had more bad side effects than benefits, including painful sinuses and dry nose. I'm better off without it."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Have used Dymista for a full week, but began noticing significant relief after about 5 days. Fall is usually a bad season for me (ragweed, mold, etc) but now I'm completely off the antihistamine & decongestant pills after taking various prescription forms for the past 30 years. Still a little post nasal drip but it works better than anything I've had in several years."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Dymista is the only spray that keeps my sinuses unblocked. Without it I get sleep apnea and my hearing is affected. I also use a daily Nasal rinse. I've tried other sprays, but Dymista is the only one that really works for me. It's $50 Australian, but lasts for a few months."

For Allergic Rhinitis "If you have allergies that are year around or seasonal please try this medicine. Take it daily and continue taking Zyrtec once a day. Within 90 days of being on it I almost forgot I had allergies. If I get off of it longer than a few months all of my symptoms come back so I know this medicine works. It's pricey with most people's insurance so please go online to the manufacturer or website for the drug to print out the coupon."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I used Dymista for 7 months for chronic Rhinitis. I also used Prednisone for 10 days a few weeks before I stopped using Dymista. I now feel dizzy, nauseous, have no appetite, have trouble sleeping, feel depressed, and had severe tingling in my hands, face, and feet for a few weeks. It luckily stopped now. Does anyone else feel really bad after stopping Dymista? It never really helped my rhinitis either."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Truly life changing!! I have suffered really badly all my life, tried dozens of different treatments and nothing helped. Was given this 5 days ago and my symptoms have practically disappeared. I am still struggling with itchy eyes but will continue with my eye drops and antihistamine tablets for these. I have been able to take my dog for a walk, open the windows, hang out my washing and sit in my garden with hardly any sneezing or nose blowing. I feel I'm a human being again. Can't recommend it highly enough."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I suffered for two months from hayfever and I used the usual medication that I used to use in this season, however nothing worked for me. I had severe symptoms of apnea as well as continues sore throat. Add to that sinusitis that I suffer for years. My symptoms gotten worse which forced to visit my GP who recommended Dymista (nasal spray). When I used it for the first two days I was sneezing a lot which bothered me at that time. But after only a day my symptoms are gone and I felt great. It's kind of expensive but other than it's amazing."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I started the Dymista to fight allergies and the next two days I was dragging and begging to fall asleep. I thought "I must be fighting a cold!" Nope. Just looked it up and read the reviews. The biggest side effect is drowsiness. Ugh. So annoyed that I just used, then thought to look it up. Thanksgiving is at my house tomorrow and I'll be nodding off for my family. I also have very limited taste and smell."

For Allergic Rhinitis "The Dymista taste is horrible and it gave me a sore throat, and found it affected my swallowing. It also made me feel extremely tired and anxious. I used it for a while and stopped due to the sore throat, but starting using it again and the anxiety I had the first time that I thought was something else came back again. This drug seems to work for some people, but it's not worth it to me."

For Allergic Rhinitis "After years of coughing all day, and sitting up choking many many nights with a sinus infection, my ENT in Tennesee, finally prescribed me dymista! My infection went away with NO antibiotic. Now I don't cough at all! What a gift this is to my family. I do blow my nose immediately, since I'm sensitive to meds and I don't want extra. And I did have one or two anxiety attacks after taking, but I'm out of the Drs office and not coughing!!!! Coughing is exhausting. Praise God I am healed!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I suffer from severe hay fever, I mean they make me miserable! Usually my GP would prescribe me steroids and that's it- I'd feel alive again, but this year she prescribed me 3 different oral solutions and 1 tablet. The eyedrops works wonders! Optanol is the name- just one drop per eye. Dymista and this nasal cleanser however- did not work. The sneezing was gone but I could not breathe!!!! I mean my nose was completely blocked!!! I was breathing through my mouth. So I googled how long it will take for it to start to have an affect on me- says 30 mins but no luck. So I used sudafed again. I used Otrivin before too- great, but you're not meant to use it for over 3 days but I finished the damn bottle. So this Dymita is just Not working for me. I'll probably use it still to get rid of my sneezing then top it up with sudafed. Everyone's different- you won't know till u try right."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My history is that my hacking was so bad my family threatened to make me move out. Anywhere I would go, my cough would precede me, announcing my arrival. It was embarrassing. Was getting sinus infections one after another, which led to bronchitis which resulted in weeks of antibiotics and malaise. This went on for years. Then Dymista, in addition to the neti pot seems to have been the solution to chronic sinus infections. I would also wake up in the morning with a headache until I stood upright for while. Dymista got rid of my headache in 20 minutes. It does irritate my nasal passages on occasion and burn, but it's not a major issue. While the cost is expensive, my bigger issue is the awful taste that lasts for hours. I tolerate the bad taste because sinus infections and bronchitis are far worse. Must mention, after spraying into my nose, anyone around me can smell it and have remarked that it is unpleasant."
