For Allergic Rhinitis "It worked at first, but then progressively have had more and more severe side effects, especially exhaustion, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and dizziness. Also have had a runny nose, worse than before taking it! The tiredness is so extreme that I hardly do anything."

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 and 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 "Used it once this morning for the first time. The taste is so bad I can only describe it as taking something poisonous. 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 suffer than ever use this again."

For Allergic Rhinitis "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. The doctor gave me a trial of this. Loved it, the only side effect was that I could breathe through my nose, which is not normal for me in my life. I actually felt more active, but may be just a side effect from being able to breathe through my nose. They only get 9 out of 10 because it is expensive: $180 without insurance, $80 with a coupon card. Insurance is fighting me with pre-authorization."

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."

"Doctor prescribed this for sinus infection and sinus pain. Cost me $50 and is the biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent, it actually makes my nose more blocked than it was before I sprayed it."
