Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Have used this product a year against my perennial allergy. Interesting reviews, half loves it and and halves hates it. I understand why. It is very effective against allergy but comes with a price. I stopped sneezing almost instantly, so far so good. The side effects I’ve experienced are the common ones, but one less so. I experienced, drowsiness, sleepyness, affected smell and taste, blurred vision, swollen eyes, mouth dryness that affected my teeth, headaches, that have made me take far too much headache remedies. Swollen nose passages. Finally I ended up getting my ear trumpets congested, couldn’t get the air pressure right. A doctor insisted it was my allergy, never had this problem before though. Got a bad tinnitus, and impaired hearing, sound distortions, felt I was going deaf. I have stoped taking dymista now and my ears are slowly improving. My sneezing has returned but I will find other ways to deal with it. I'm 63, need my eyes and hearing."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "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 running 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."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "After suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis on and off for years, I have been prescribed Dymista and immediately, my sinuses and ears felt clearer. However day 3 onwards, I have felt so fatigued, horrible sinus headache with sharp pains across my head feeling congested in my ears and heavy eyes. My pharmacist did initially say that I would need to use it for 3 weeks before it really gets to work. And its only day 6. So am hoping it gets better soon."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "So far, amazing! First time since I was a small child am I able to breathe thru my nose. It's like a miracle. I always said no to surgery although docs have told me for 25 years to do it. FYI Flonase and all those other sprays never did anything for me. Zyrtec D was the only thing that helped, a little bit."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I had went to urgent care after suffering with the worst sinus infection I have ever had, and I've had a few along with sinus surgeries. The doc gave me a sample with no preface, just to try it, 1 squirt each nostril twice daily. I took it at 7:30pm and felt like I had been drugged. She told me nothing of the somnolent side effects and today its 2:30pm and I am still extremely drowsy, unfocused, and generally feeling like I could fall over."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I was ill for 4 months with allergies and felt sick and like I had the flu. I think this was the worst I had. I went to a sinus specialist who prescribed Dymista and I have had very good results. Clear nose, better sense of smell and I don't feel sick. I hope the Dymista will work well when the season hits again next March."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I have always had very mild asthma that would go into remission for years. Over the last year however, my asthma had worsened to the point where even stronger dose preventers didn't work effectively. I'd go to sleep clutching a Ventolin spray as I'd invariably have an asthma attack during the night. Every night. Often I would wheeze all day. My asthma specialists suspected allergies were distabilising my asthma and added dymista to my preventer. Within 24 hours I was a new person. I haven't used ventolin in 6 weeks nor had an asthma attack. On the downside the after taste is truly awful and lasts for hours and there is some minor taste sensation alteration but this is a small price to pay for breathing properly."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Ok so an update to using this product, although I've been using it for a few days I had to stop because I started developing hives all over my body, (face, neck, shoulders, hips, thighs, legs) really disappointed that I have an allergic reaction to one of the chemicals in Dymista because it worked really well. #sigh"

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Unaffordable. Insurance won't cover a cent and I can't shell out $109.99 per month for this spray. That's after using the $100 off discount card offered by the company. My pharmacy wants $209.99 a bottle. This is ridiculous. I would love some relief from my awful symptoms that leave me feeling too bad to even get out of bed half the year but I have had to revert back to other methods for minimal relief since there's no way a person on a normal income can afford the out of pocket pricing. I'm just not rich enough!"

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I have suffered from hay fever allergies really bad for 5 years each year getting worse spent a fortune on prescriptions and many visits to doctors trying everything on chemist shelf. Havin sneezing attacks 50 at a time taking my breath away, running nose, sore throat, cough for 4 months of the year. Help finally arrives from a new nurse at my doctors that had really bad attacks like me and used Dymista nasal spray WOW change my life over night yes the taste is bad but just have a little water after and it's gone my parents get some sleep at night now cos only one or two sneezes and my head and runny nose has stopped I feel human again, but in England it is expensive that's why some doctors don't offer it."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I got a sample 3 days ago and noticed improvement in 24 hours. My brain fog is gone, stuffiness greatly reduced and I feel better than I have for months if not years. I'll check in again after longer use. Right now I am wishing I had this at least a year ago."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I did not have much luck with Dymista, might have dried me up a little, but was definitely not worth the HORRIBLE taste I had in my mouth for up to 4 hours afterwards. Nothing would make the taste go away...soda, beer, bread, onions, even garlic. Glad it worked for many of you, just didn't for me."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I have been using this spray for 3 days due to an allergy to pet dander. It worked immediately to block the allergens and open my stuffed nose. Before this spray I tried using Allegra, Claritin, Rupall, Allegra and a few others. I also tried 2 different homeopathic meds I found at the health food store... NOTHING WORKED UNTIL NOW! This spray has enabled me to be around my pet without the allergic reactions , starting from the very first dose!! I got this as a sample from my doctor."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "The doctor sprayed Dymista up my nose in his office after I told him, if there are side effects, I'm drug sensitive, I will have them. But he said the side effects are rare and before I knew it he sprayed and I only did little sniffs and not a big sniff to get it up very far. The taste was horrible and I can still taste it hours later. My eyes hurt and feel dry. The eye pain is the worse side effect so far. I have a headache that occurred within 30 min after he sprayed. I see far more serious side effects listed. The bottle he gave me is now in the trash and I left his office a message."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Used Flonase for 2 bottles with zero good results. Dymista prescribed and has modest good results. Found out thar Dymista is just Flonase with a non-prescription antihistamine added, and works less well than just taking the antihistamine alone! Drug co sales if useless Flonase must have been falling, so add non-script and reissue - how can they do this and tell us it is something new and wonderful. What a croc - can't anyone do something: Health Cda? Markrt Place?"

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "After years of struggling with severe sinus pain, feeling exhausted on a daily basis due to all my allergies I now feel absolutely brilliant like I have been given a new lease of life. I wish I had been prescribed this years ago. The spray doesn't taste as that bad you just need a glass of water to wash taste away if it goes down your throat. Highly recommend people who have allergic rhinitis to ask for this nasal spray, this hasn't cost me anything due to NHS prescriptions in England Uk"

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Terrible side effects after just a few days and was getting worse with every use. Strong headache to the point I couldn't move my head without severe pain, blurred vision, anxiety, a numb feeling of skin, sweating, vivid nightmares. I stopped using it after a few days - side effects diminished, started using again - side effects reappeared this time stronger. I am unable to use it due to this, a pity since it helped clearing up my nose and reduced allergy, but side effects not tolerable."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "For many many years I have been dealing with hay fever allergies in spring and fall. My nose is always clogged. Sudafed and Allegra D became a normal routine for me. Dr gave me a trial of this. Loved it, the only side affect was that I could breath through my nose which is not normal for me in my life. I actually felt more active but may be just a side affect from being able to breath through my nose. They only get 9 of 10 because it is expensive, $180 without insurance, $80 with coupon card. Insurance is fighting me with pre-authorization."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "ENT specialist prescribed this horrible drug. Used for 3 days, twice a day as directed. Couldn't fall asleep properly. Stopped using but still can't fall asleep properly. After 3 weeks still have sleeping problems. Avoid."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Dymista was given to me by my allergist...I used to for about 4 or 5 days straight but was nauseated the whole time....and lost my sense of smell and taste.....I do not think this is worth the inability to taste and smell....plus being nauseated..."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I have a broken nose - a pretty good one. I am starting to be able to breathe through my nose again. My smell is getting better taste seems fine. I just get sores in my mouth - ulcers. I didn't know it was from the medication but mouth wash and salty water is maintaining it. I get anxiety when I first use it. Maybe after a bit but it's clearing my nose and it helps sleep."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "I have mild allergic nasal inflammation with nighttime terbinate hypertrophy. I was afraid to even try nose spray this after reading a couple of less than good opinions. I'm very satisfied with Dymista. I have very mild allergic inflammation. I had terbinate reduction back in 2009 and was very satisfied with the procedure for a couple of years. As warned my terbinate night time swelling gradually returned and had a very negative impact on the quality of my sleep. For at least a year, I haven't had a nights sleep without waking 4 to 6 times a night rarely achieving REM sleep. Dymista has improved the quality of my sleep immediately."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "My first night of using Dymista I had nightmares and woke up the next day irritable not my usual self. The same nightmares occurred for the next 5 nights and all week I wasn’t myself; irritated and agitated, until I realised it was the spray. I came off it and the nightmares stopped immediately within 24 hours and so did the agitation. It smells like a science project and I was concerned that it is going up my nose and not that far away from my brain. Never will I use this product again."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Used it once this morning for the first time. The taste is so bad I can only describe it as taken something poisoness. I cannot believe they give this to people. I cannot believe people take this daily. I was gagging and almost threw up from the taste/smell. I’m having post nasal drip now and cannot get it out of my sinuses. I’d rather stuff than ever use this again."

Dymista (azelastine / fluticasone) "Like many others I was prescribed Dymista when Flonase wasn’t quite enough. It does wonders for my allergies! But after 2 weeks I’ve had a nose bleed that seemed never ending and 2 horrible migraines that left me unable to function. Nose bleeds I can deal with, migraines I really can’t. Overall: not worth the side effects."
