For Allergic Rhinitis "I have suffered with nasal issues for as long as I can remember, it got to be a bit of a joke as I always had a tissue in my hand and probably should have taken out shares in Kleenex *eye roll*. My nose was always sore from wiping it constantly, I was exhausted from sneezing and getting very poor quality sleep, it was just generally making my life miserable. Dymista, a miracle!!! I honestly had given up all hope after trying God knows how many different sprays, creams, and tablets, been told I had polyps which turned out to be false, I had even been to the ENT specialist to have a camera put up my nose and down my throat to see what they could find (so uncomfortable!). I can breathe, I don't need to worry about leaving the house without a packet of balsam tissues for my permanent Rudolph nose, and I am rested after a good night's sleep. Finally, I have found the solution to a problem I thought I would have to cope with for the rest of my life."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I suffered for two months from hay fever, 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 continual sore throat. Add to that sinusitis that I have suffered from for years. My symptoms got worse, which forced me 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 were gone, and I felt great. It's kind of expensive, but other than that, it's amazing."

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 three different oral solutions and one tablet. The eye drops work 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 effect 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 three days, but I finished the damn bottle. So this Dymista 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 you try, right?"

For Allergic Rhinitis "The first time that I took this medication, I immediately became sick, and it made my allergies worse. It started by making my throat scratchy, which tends to lead to a runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing. I presumed that it must have been the medicine because it happened immediately after I used the spray. It was confirmed two days ago when I used the spray again. My throat became scratchy, and I felt horrible. I believe that the medicine is causing post-nasal drip, which in turn is making my throat hurt. I noticed that there is an additional ingredient in this spray called 'Azelastine' that is not in Flonase. If I had to guess, I would say that is the reason for the sour throat. I will not be using this product again."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My teenaged son is congested from February through June. We live in the part of Texas where you can actually watch the cedar pollen pods explode (literally). I was so excited to hear all the promises of Dymista, but every squirt caused him to have crazy sneezing fits - like 15-20 in a row! We kept trying for 3 days, but he was miserable with the sneezing. Haven't seen any other reviews mention this, so I guess we are just special :/"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've had year-round allergies for years and have tried Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, Flonase, and numerous eye drops with nothing completely alleviating my symptoms. Flonase was probably the closest, gone were the itchy eyes, puffy face, constant clearing of throat, runny nose, and sneezing, but I still had that annoying itchy nose. My doctor tried Dymista last year, and wow, I love it! It works amazingly at alleviating all my symptoms. I feel so much better, it is really expensive, though, but there is a coupon to help with the copay. The aftertaste is horrible, but a glass of water and a piece of gum gets rid of it. Also, I do sneeze or feel on the verge of sneezing for about a minute after taking it. Overall, I love it."
