Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "This drug helped greatly to reduce my coughing and breathing. Then I started feeling pain in my feet, then in my legs and hands and headache. Every day it was worse. To test my theory, I stopped the drug, but on the second night, I was coughing a great deal again, and it was preventing me from sleeping, so I took it again. That night, the pain was severe muscle cramps in my legs, toes, and feet. The next day I was nauseous and had a headache."

Fluticasone for Asthma, Maintenance "Prescribed for a bout of asthmatic bronchitis, took 2 weeks to even do anything, and the effects were minimal. Gained a lot of weight in a short period of time, appetite was hard to control, and when I quit, I got severe headaches and rapid loss of appetite as if I was withdrawing from it, still feeling crummy."
