"This has saved my life. I have always been a sneezing mess. I constantly had a blocked nose more or less everyday. I stupidly tried to use otrivine. Omg what a mistake as this infected my nose because i came reliant on it causing an inflamation. So i went to the doctors who prescribed me avamys nose spray. It saved my life. I can breathe again and it treated my nose from inflammation and also protects it from any further complications. All watery eyes and nose problems gone down the drain. I would sponser this medicine. Best nose spray I've ever had. :)"

"The Flixonase nasal spray itself is considered as a good conservative treatment for relief of sinusitis, polyps and symptoms of Rhinitis Allergic or blocked nose. BUT- if you have an history of Anxiety problems, you need to consider finding another option for treatment and not corticosteroids nasal spray OR to try decreasing your dose for only 1 spray to each nostril. I tried it for inosmia for 45 days and there was a slight improvment, no more than that. This drug is making anxiety worse and cannot be tolerated for some people which suffer from chronic anxiety."

"Westward brand fluticasone nasal spray is very watery and it made me very very ill. It made my nose and eyes burn. It gave me a horrible migraine. It made me drool and made me throw up and it made my throat feel like I had swallowed glass. Does anyone know where the HiTech Brand or the Apotex Brand is. Be careful using Westward brand - its Bad."

Flonase (fluticasone) "Just started two days ago for relief of seasonal and environmental allergies. I have terrible itch eyes, runny nose and sneezing fits. I do feel less drip, no sneezing and less congestion. I'm going to finish this bottle ($32 Canadian) and determine if I continue with it. But so far so good."

Flonase Sensimist (fluticasone) "I went to a new allergy dr. and she had me stop all of my allergy meds for 7 days before my first office visit, I did as requested and with draw them all. She had me start taking flonase sensimist one dose in the morning. After a months use I was over welmed by the drainage in my throat,t he smell of my morning coffee and the smell of grease on french fries. They all have a nasty bug taste, like when we were kids riding our bike and that bug flys in our mouth, YUCK. I have stopped using this product but its a slow move forward to regain my smell and the mucus in the am."

"I am allergic to everything. Flonase works. The generics - depends on manufacturer. I've heard PAR is exactly the same as the brand name. I have used Apotex and it was good. West-Ward is pure snake oil. Pay attention, talk to pharmacist."

"I've suffered with allergies for YEEEEEARS. Non-stop sneezing (at least 100 times in a row daily) and runny noses until my Dr prescribed me this heavenly medicine. I immediately felt amazing results and by day three my allergies were completely gone. I love you flonase!"

"I been taking Fluticasone off & on for years. This last time I took it before bedtime over 20 days. Other than consistent nasal drip, gums so swollen on my right side of my mouth, top & bottom. Gums aching & pain while chewing on right side. Didn’t realize it was that bad until dentist said gums on right side were inflamed and puffy. The next day I stopped taking it. Took over 14 days to stop the aching mouth. When brushing & using water flosser my gums always started bleeding before going to dentist and after dental cleaning. Finally seeing little to no bleeding gums and minimized swollen gums on day 18. Found out “Corticosteroid” is a key ingredient in the nasal spray, can cause oral health problems such as inflammation/swollen gums. Won’t be using this again."

"The VA switched my prescription for Flunisolide to Flonase. The flowery scent triggered migraines for me. I kept trying to use it, to make sure if it was the trigger. Not only did it cause migraine, it did nothing for my allergies. If zero or less were choices on the rating scale, that's where I'd rate it. I'm back on Flunisolide (through Tricare, not the VA) and happy."

"Useless did absolutely nothing for me except waste my money. The spray would not budge then it would pour out and waste so much for a 120 sprays I only got two lots in and the doctor demonstrated how to use it plus I did look at the you tube so still have the problem and out of pocket 50 bucks. What a have ."

"Fluticasone Nasal spray has been on my meds list for about 5 years. I used it religiously for about 2 years, thought it lame, stopped it for about a year, then my Primary MD sent me to an ENT, who put me back on it. I have again been using it regularly for about 2 years. I STILL believe that it is lame. It does NOT prevent my nose from constantly running. I go through a large box of tissue in less than a week! I maintain control of my allergens in my home (where I am most of the time), but even with that, the fluticasone still doesn't help."

"Avamys has been great for me. There have been no side effects. I usually just take it during the summer, and sometimes for short periods other times. You don't really feel a spray so it can be tricky to tell if it worked, but usually about 10 minutes after my nose will clear out and sometimes faintly taste it for a few seconds (it's really not bad) so I can tell it's gone through my nose. It can take about 8 hours for the first dose to start working - use as your doctor advises, but I find it is most effective if taken daily during an allergy flare up. It may take a few days to fully start working. I am very, very sensitive to steroids and try to avoid them, but this one seems very gentle. I have had no dry nose, nosebleeds, or other issues I had with allergy sprays in the past. I use 1 spray in each side, once a day. I have even seen a major improvement in the swelling of my nose/face. I have not had a sinus or ear infection since taking it and used to get them often."

"I'm a 68-year-old female living in Florida and my allergies this year were destroying my life. I had a runny nose, burning watery eyes, and terrible headaches. It didn't matter if I left the doors and windows open; I always felt terrible and tired. I finally decided to look into a different nasal spray and found a generic Flonase nasal spray. I'm 3 days in and already feel like a different person. None of my previous symptoms are present, and I feel alive for the first time in weeks. I plan to continue using it."

"After days of torture, absolutely worst experience of my life! I’m so glad I found this thread and was able to connect the dots. I really began to look into it yesterday when I noticed my vision was blurred like the whole day I felt awful eye pain and pressure behind my eyes. Not to mention.. the insomnia has been gut wrenching and so frustrating. I’ve been to the emergency room twice for shortness of breath.”shallow breathing??" Mainly through my nose because when I would attempt through my mouth it was very hard to catch! The scariest feelings are when you feel like you don’t have enough oxygen. My anxiety has been through the roof, I’ve even had trouble driving because of it and usually I’m not an anxious person at all. My HR at night 115 -130. It’s worse at night to be honest. I don’t have any other words other than I can’t believe drs are actually prescribing this stuff. I actually was prescribed this for a month, and I’m on day 7 . Never again"

"I had suffered from perennial nasal congestion (allergy-induced), since age 11. However, my perennial rhinitis went entirely untreated (physician disregarded), until my early thirties. Said disorder resulted in frequent childhood upper-respiratory illness, disrupting many basic activities (i.e. school studies, gymnastics, sleep). By age 31, I had developed varied physical illness, following bouts of excessive stress, principally caused by dotingly nursing my elderly parents. Eventually, repeated visits to general practitioners prompted a referral to a competent specialist. He prescribed Flonase brand pumps (ineffective crystalline form), which could barely penetrate the nasal derma. At least, that initial prescription urged my own research into this medication, finding a recently introduced liquid form. I proceeded to request prescriptions from a specialist in an unrelated field. Ever since, I am using nearly daily dosing of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray. Good stuff."

Flonase (fluticasone) "I use oxygen through a nasal cannula when I sleep & stuffy nose from allergies makes it difficult at times. GP said this would help. It irritates my nasal passages & makes the oxygen burn. Also, my nose stuffs up worse after I use it. Pretty useless to me."

"Hello guys I am from the Philippines.....based on my experience my doctor gave me a fluticasone(avamys) and after 3 days of use it was effective and I don't really mind the side effects because I know that if there is side effects means it's work. Then after 5 days of use I got asthma and post nasal drip..I can't breath during sleep. My gosh it was really scary..I was really dizzy when I walk and had coughing and back pain. I realize that the all side effect is so so real so after all that I stop fluticasone.."

Flonase Allergy Relief (fluticasone) "I've had allergies for 40 years and tried virtually every oral medication, but what always happened was that the only meds that stopped my runny/itchy nose and opened my nasal passages also made me terribly drowsy. My doctor suggested Flonase (before it was available OTC), and it changed my life. I got relief after the first night of use. Used it before bed, and woke up for the first time in years with a non-stuffy, non-drippy nose. The only downside was I experienced some mild nose-bleeding, but that stopped completely after a couple weeks of use. Flonase works far better than anything else I've tried. After nearly 10 years of use, I'm fully satisfied."

My doctor suggested Flonase (before it was available OTC), and it changed my life. I got relief after the first night of use. Used it before bed, and woke up for the first time in years with a non-stuffy, non-drippy nose. It has been working great for nearly 10 years now. I just reviewed regular Flonase which gets a 9 from me. The reason Sensimist gets a 7 is the applicator is less controllable/reliable. It's harder to direct the spray in a way that doesn't just create a little puddle in one spot inside my nostril. Other than that, it works just like regular Flonase."

"Made my nose more stuffy and caused my eyelids to swell after about a week's use. Also caused weight gain and bloating in the face, my face just didn't look "right". I used it for a few months and then switched to Nasonex (I'm in Europe). No weird side effects and my face looks normal."
