All meds have side effects and always vary by user, but there seems to be significantly scary side effects experienced by many who use Flonase.
It has been a horror movie inside my body..aches and pains from head to feet..stiffness in joints and neck..weight gain..no energy what so ever..kidney problems..back aches...I'm so tired of all the side effects...
I originally commented on 12/21/09 (see below) and, at that time, had only recognized insomnia as a negative side effect. But after 3 months I realized that the fact that I had gained 15 pounds and was ravenously hungry all day was probably another side effect. Then I began noticing severe tremors in my right hand and muscle spasms in my legs (which still continue, although lessening, 6 months after discontinuing use). So I stopped taking it, because I have a great fear of type II diabetes. I did not realize until later that the muscle problems were also probably related to my use of Abilify. I would recommend that anyone taking Abilify pay very, very close attention to side effects from the first day. I admit that it lessens depression, but for me, the cost in negative side effects was much too high.
I have no side effects while wearing the patch; however, if I attempt to stop wearing the patch, within 10 hours I am completely dizzy, cannot stand light, noise or smells. and I begin vomiting and am totally unable to move. At this point an ambulance is called.
No side effects, works beautifully, no scare stories like I've read about.
