I was prescribed Flonase and started taking it every day - my sinus problems were gone instantly. HOWEVER, after six weeks of using the drug, I have finally located the source of stress in my life: FLONASE. I have been overly anxious, unable to focus, filled with anxiety that I didn't even think I had (causing me to make some VERY bad decisions), unable to sleep properly, having very vivid dream. ..

I used Flonase for some allergy because I wanted something diferent from Zyrtec . I noticed around the 2nd week my sense of smell had completely disappeared! It was as if my nose was numb. Never used it after that.

This medication is horrible. Did not help my allergies. Horrible side effects. Rapid heart rate and high blood pressure. Made nasal congestion horribly worse as well as the post nasal drip. Horrible cough. Eyes very irriated and watery. Nauseous stomach. Tense muscles. Feeling very cold. Ear pain and clogged worse. Mood swings.

Condition: Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

Overall rating 1. 7

Within 12 hours of my first dose, I had a psychotic experience where I completed a 1 hour group exercise class and was sitting on a chair in the studio disoriented and confused with no memory of the prior 30 mins. My instructor said I finished the class but was unusually quiet and sedate. She described to me what we did and didn’t see anything usual from how I participated physically. So my body was alert but my mind didn’t record memories of what I was doing. Scary. I immediately experience extreme anxiety, panic attacks, fear, intrusive thoughts, adrenaline surges, rapid heart rate, night waking with fight/flight response and more. It was 6 days of craziness before I found askapatient.com and saw that these severe mental health issues are side effects of Flonase. I stopped right away and am praying that I will return to normal soon. This experience was a nightmare. I will never use Flonase again. Read More Read Less

While this nasal spray successfully cleared my sinuses, it also gave me crippling anxiety. Made my heart race every time I took it for hours on end. I only took it for 3 days- haven’t taken it today and my heart is still racing. Funny how doctors ask about your anxiety levels and then proceed to prescribe you something that is KNOWN to increase anxiety and heart rate. Do not take this.

Overall rating 3.3

Taken for about 3 years almost daily. Decided to stop cold-turkey about 6 weeks ago. A few days later had the worst panic attacks of my life. I have a history of anxiety, but this was something completely different. For the past 6 weeks I have been having daily panic attacks the early ones lasting for 3+ hours, rendering my entire day a loss. I decided to try taking the flonase again, and it dramatically reduced panic attack symptoms, though I still get them daily. I am now back on the flonase and experiencing daily anxiety, jitteriness, mood swings, depression, dizziness, and a slew of other weird physical anomalies. I am confident it is the flonase since my daily, morning panic attacks have seemed to subsided. But I am clearly physically, psychologically, or both dependent on whatever is in this. I have been to all the doctors except endocrinology to see if there is a cortisol/adrenal issue going on. Brain MRI, heart, and blood and urine workup all show normal. It definitely worked to clear up my allergies, but it has damaged my life severely. I can no longer drive a car confidently without anxiety, nor do I have any physical stamina left. Something sinister is going on that is not strictly 'in my head'.Read More Read Less

Caused SEVERE sinus headaches and cause my VISION to get bad. My doctor said to use this for at least a month for postnasal drip, and it worked GREAT for that. The side effects we awful! after 5 days it caused a severe sinus headache daily but worse yet it caused my vision to get worse. I noticed the vision issue about the same time as the headaches started, I could no longer see the clock next to my bed. I just had my eyes checked in February and they were fine due to the Flonase I had to have them rechecked, and sure enough i now need new glasses.Read More Read Less

After 2 weeks of using Flonase I got terrible stomach aches, nausea and diarrhea, along with being miserable and not being able to focus at work. I stopped using it 2 days ago and gradually I begin to feel better. Never again will I use Flonase, I'm going back to Nasacort

The new misting Flonase dispenser is definitely "not ready for prime time"! Sometime it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It sounds & feels the same in either case, so you do not know if you have received a dose or not! The older method might be less efficient - but only if the misting dispenser happens to work! I can't tell if I get a dose each time I try or not. Try just shaking it then misting it into the air. You will see that it only sometimes works!

It absolutely does work to clear up your sinuses but you trade one problem for five more. I started having daily headaches, heart racing from minimal exercise, dizziness, feeling like I was gonna pass out. This stuff is going right in the garbage can!

It will make you have intense anxiety and panic. You will feel like you’re going to die. Don’t use this if you have those side effects. It is from the nose spray

Purchased over the counter. Used only one time and it triggered severe anxiety and panic attacks. The product did not have any anxiety or panic attacks listed as a side affect or I never would have even tried it. 3 weeks since I stopped using it and still notice minor anxiety episodes. Please consider taking something else if you have a history of anxiety.

Absolutely horrible and terrifying for a parent. My 11 year old son started taking the prescription form of it a month ago. His mood gradually darkened until last week when he shared he contemplated suicide. Nothing would cheer him up. We spoke with a friend whose son had the same thing, so we took him off Flonase immediately. Within 2 days he was much better, and now a week later, he's cheerful again. I would NEVER have thought a nose spray would have such profound mental effects and didn't feel the manufacturer or his doctor warned us at all. Read More Read Less

I began taking Flonase to ward off sinus problems during spring allergy season. But in the last couple of days I experienced frightening panic attacks which I have had only one other time in my life (a few years ago, which possibly also may have been caused by this drug). I can't positively connect the panic attacks to the use of Flonase but it's the only medication I am taking and the connection seems likely. I stopped taking Flonase this morning and threw the container away. I am hoping that my symptoms decrease and go away quickly because I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life.Read More Read Less

Both me and my husband were having severe anxiety and mental issues from this! My husband was experiencing chest pain, feeling winded, and anxiety attacks which he never has. He has taken it so much that he developed a dependency on it, upon quitting he’s been having anxiety and panic attacks. Again, not like him at all. The doctors say you should take this everyday! NO WAY! I talked to a Teledoc Dr and he said this can cause fungal infections! Warned me not to take it. I personally have PTSD issues, on this, made me feel almost psychotic. I thought I was losing my freaking mind! I put two and two together and saw so many had the same issues as me. You name it, anxiety, depersonalization, tremor, sweating. I want to SUE THIS COMPANY. I missed out on half an entire months pay at my job because of this stuff I AM SO MAD. Been 3 days off of it and I’m better, husband still struggling!Read More Read Less

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as synthetic analogues of these hormones. The two major classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including stress response, immune response and inflammation regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, protein catabolism, blood electrolyte levels, and behavior. ^[1]

Some common natural steroid hormones are cortisol (C
^{₂₁ Hp
₃₀ O
₅ ), Corticosterone (C
9000 _{30 about 9000 ON ), cortison (C
21 H.
28 O
5 ) and aldosterone (C
21 Hp
28 O 9 O 9 OF0008
5 ). (Note that cortisone and aldosterone are isomers.) The main corticosteroids produced by the adrenal cortex are cortisol and aldosterone. [2]}}

Synthetic pharmaceuticals with corticosteroid-like effects are used for conditions ranging from brain tumors to skin diseases. Dexamethasone and its derivatives are almost pure glucocorticoids, while prednisolone and its derivatives have some mineralocorticoid action in addition to the glucocorticoid action. Fludrocortisone (Florinef) is a synthetic mineralocorticoid. Hydrocortisone (cortisol) is commonly used for replacement therapy, eg , for adrenal insufficiency and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Topical preparations are also available for the skin, eyes (uveitis), lungs (asthma), nose (rhinitis), and intestines. Corticosteroids are also used as maintenance therapy to prevent nausea, often in combination with 5-HT3 antagonists (eg , ondansetron).

Typical undesirable effects of glucocorticoids are quite often manifested in the form of drug-induced Cushing's syndrome. Typical side effects of mineralocorticoids are hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure), steroid-induced diabetes mellitus, psychosis, poor sleep, hypokalemia (low blood potassium), hypernatremia (high blood sodium) without peripheral edema, metabolic alkalosis. and weakness of the connective tissue. nine0006 [5] Immunosuppressive effects may interfere with wound healing or ulceration.

Clinical and experimental data indicate that corticosteroids can cause irreversible eye damage by causing central serous retinopathy (CSR, also known as central serous chorioretinopathy, CSR). ^[6] This should be kept in mind when treating patients with optic neuritis. There is experimental and clinical evidence that, at least in optic neuritis, the speed of initiation of treatment is important. nine0006 [7]

Risks and side effects of the coronavirus vaccine – DW – 01/07/2021

Are coronavirus vaccines developed in record time really safe? What post-vaccination reactions and what side effects await the patient - in the DW review.

https://p.dw.com/p/3nZQl

Millions of people around the world are hoping to get vaccinated against the coronavirus soon. At the same time, many have doubts, because, on the one hand, they would like to protect themselves from infection, and, on the other hand, they are afraid of side effects from vaccination. People are worried about whether the vaccines developed in such a short time are safe enough, and whether the possible side effects are sufficiently studied. nine0009

What reactions to the vaccine are considered normal, what side effects can occur? And do you need to be vaccinated at all?

Common reaction to a vaccine

It is normal for the body to react to a vaccine in a certain way: the injection site may become red, swollen, or painful. In the first three days after vaccination, a person may feel weak, have a fever, have a headache and joints. These symptoms are mild and disappear after a couple of days. They show that the vaccine works, it stimulates the immune system and encourages the body to defend itself against the "false" infection for which the injected drug is taken. nine0009

Similar body reactions have been reported with the use of vaccines from the German company BioNTech and the American Pfizer, the British AstraZeneca, the American Moderna and the Russian Sputnik V.

Rare cases of severe side effects

In some rare cases, the vaccine has caused severe side effects, such as allergic shock. In general, certified vaccines are considered safe by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the FDA, and the World Health Organization (WHO), otherwise they would not approve them. nine0009 Headquarters of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in Amsterdam Photo: Robin Utrecht/picture alliance

Some of the new vaccines differ significantly from the classical ones, these are the so-called mRNA vaccines (mRNA), which generate an immune response at the gene level. Such vaccines contain a viral molecule - messenger RNA (mRNA) enclosed in a lipid nanoparticle. Once in the body, mRNA enters the cell and begins to synthesize pathogen-specific antigens that cause an immune response. nine0009

Other so-called live recombinant (vector) vaccines use human-safe or attenuated viruses (vectors). A gene is embedded in their composition - a small section of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. Vectors serve as a kind of carriers of pathogenic organisms for delivery to cells. Once there, the genetically engineered viruses replicate inside cells and elicit an immune response against SARS-CoV-2 proteins.

BioNTech and Pfizer vaccine risks and side effects

The BNT162b2 vaccine did not cause any serious side effects in clinical trials. Such a typical reaction to the vaccine as weakness and headache in elderly patients was rare and mostly in a mild form. nine0009 BioNTech and Pfizer vaccine first registered in the European Union Photo: Jacob King/REUTERS

Since vaccination with this drug began, the vaccine has caused a severe allergic reaction in a small number of patients. One American and two Britons experienced anaphylactic shock (a state of acute hypersensitivity of the body), accompanied by reddening of the skin and shortness of breath. Therefore, the British health authorities have warned allergy sufferers about the dangers for them of vaccination. nine0009

Moderna vaccine risks and side effects

Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine also contains a viral molecule, its composition is very similar to that of BioNTech and Pfizer. During clinical studies, its participants, according to the manufacturer and control authorities, tolerated the vaccination well. The post-vaccination reaction was mild and short-lived. At the same time, weakness was registered in 9.7% of people vaccinated with mRNA-1273.

A small number of study participants had an allergic reaction to the vaccine, and in isolated cases, facial paralysis. However, it is not known whether this reaction is directly related to the vaccine. There is an assumption that the side reaction is caused not by mRNA, but by a lipid nanoparticle, which serves as a transporter of pathogenic organisms for delivery to cells and is later excreted from the body.

Risks and side effects of AstraZeneca

During clinical trials of a vaccine by the British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, an incident occurred: one of the participants developed inflammation of the spinal cord after vaccination. The study was interrupted until a panel of independent experts determined that the inflammation was not related to the vaccine.

The AstraZeneca vaccine caused typical reactions in patients: pain at the injection site, headache and muscle pain. Post-vaccination reactions in elderly patients were less frequent and milder. In this case, we are talking about a vector vaccine. nine0009

Risks and side effects of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine

The Sputnik V vaccine was registered in Russia as early as August 2020, before the third phase of clinical trials involving tens of thousands of people. Sputnik V uses two modified adenoviruses rAd26-S and rAd5-S.

The expert community was critical of the development of the Moscow National Research Center named after N. Gamaleya, because in the results of the study published in the scientific journal Lancet, scientists identified suspicious repetitions that could indicate manipulation. nine0009

Despite this, Sputnik V is already in use in a number of countries, not only in Russia, but also in Belarus, the United Arab Emirates, as well as in Brazil, India and Argentina.

Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko announced on January 2 that 1.5 million doses of the vaccine had been delivered to the Russian regions, more than 800 had already been vaccinated thousands of people. According to the Russian Ministry of Health, patients report only the usual post-vaccination reactions, such as headache and fever. In Argentina, according to health authorities, such reactions to the vaccine were detected in 317 out of 32,000 people who received the vaccine. nine0009

There are no reports of serious side effects from the Sputnik V vaccination. However, in Russia, a significant number of people are distrustful of this vaccine. According to Reuters, a survey among 3,040 doctors and people working in the healthcare system showed that 52% of them do not want to be vaccinated due to lack of information.

Should I put myself at risk by getting vaccinated?

Everyone must answer this question for himself, weighing all the risks and benefits. Is it more important for me to be able to protect myself and others from contracting coronavirus and return to normal life - or do they outweigh the risks associated with new and not yet fully researched vaccines? nine0009

All reported side effects so far are only a reflection of knowledge accumulated in just a few months. This needs to be recognized with all the euphoria from the rapid development of vaccines. Nothing is known about possible long-term side effects of individual vaccines. Knowledge of this will come from the long-term studies that accompany vaccination campaigns in many countries. At the moment, there are no reports of rare, possibly severe side effects, for example, in rare chronic diseases, in certain risk groups, and in allergy sufferers. nine0009 Everyone should decide for themselves whether to get vaccinated against coronavirus Photo: Steve Parsons/empics/picture alliance

Such side effects can only be identified and studied in a large number of people who have been vaccinated and over a long period of observation. "Therefore, there is a residual risk," says Christian Bogdan, director of the Institute for Clinical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene at the Erlangen University Hospital.

What is more - benefits or risks? nine0118

The decision to vaccinate or not should be made after weighing the possible benefits and risks, says Bogdan, who is also a member of the Standing Committee on Vaccination at the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI). “If an elderly person has a 20 percent chance of dying from coronavirus infection, and the risk of severe side effects from a vaccine is 1:50,000 or less, then I would take such a risk,” the expert says.

Christian Bogdan does not advise children to be vaccinated, as there is a risk of dying from COVID-19theirs is close to zero - and besides, they still have their whole life ahead of them. The expert also advises against vaccinating pregnant women and nursing mothers. At the same time, the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not exclude the possibility of their vaccination with mRNA preparations after a medical examination and consultation with doctors.
