Related User Reviews for Side Effects

Its making my heart beat really fast and I'm dizzy,stomach cramps,tightness n my chest,shortness of breath,terribl headaches, and also making me bleed(its been 7days already) I've been taking adipex and its interfering with my weightloss... I really hate this drug it has to many side effects.

For anxiety it has worked wonders. Although it has taken a while to get used to some side effects (which cause anxiety). Physcial anxiety symptoms are gone. Overtime though, I have noticed that it has helped less with migraines, in fact not much at all now. Lack of motivation has increased, and perhaps slight depression has set in. It also causes heart palpitations for me, a few times a year, that can last a few hours or re-occure over days. I have attempted to ween off these twice, with major withdrawls and side effects, so no luck there. I have also increased dosage due to increased migraines, which helped - but caused heart palpitations within a day or two.Be careful with this one. I was once active, playing sport and fairly healthy - but this kills your ability to do any cardio (limits the heart rate) and greatly effects your motivation. Its also very hard to get off this drug.

After reading some of the comments here about extreme anxiety, I have to say it really hit home with me. We recently got Flonase over the counter here, so because I have been a long time sufferer of allergies I tried it a few days ago. Well on top of the extreme anxiety, terrible headache and just overall bad feeling, I started having extreme phantom smell of smoke. It's like a burning dirty ashtray is inside my nose. I feel like I'm going completely insane, and then it doesn't help when I read that it could also mean a brain tumor!! Great! Thanks google! PLEASE can anyone tell me if they have had this strange side effect too, because I'm completely freaking out here, and I don't know what to do - other than obviously stop taking Flonase, which I have done!!

Do not take this. Not worth the side effects, let alone the ER and medicine to fix it expences. It stays in your system for atleast 10 days, im on day 2 right now of not taking it and i have 8 more days to look foward to which 2 docs have told me i could relapse a third time.

My children are in day care and the day care provider must think I am abusing my son and neglecting him medically. He is breaking out with small pin-point sized sores all over his handlsome little face. He picks obsessively causing them to bleed. Also picking his nose (which could just be age related but it has increased since starting the med). It does help his asthma and I give it to him once a day at night because he coughs at night if I don't give it. The Flovent wasn't as helpful as he would wake up at night coughing and even a repeat dose of it wouldn't relieve his cough. This med does help greatly but with a lot of side effects. I am not sure if his hyperactivity is just age-related and being filled with energy and happiness or if it is from this medication. He can sit still and isn't constantly hyper but the way he is breaking out on his face is bothersome to me. I am not sure if those areas are itching causing him to pick. I didn't realize this med causes the acne until I read the leaflet in the box today. Now I am relieved it's not something else and nothing that the day care provider or CPS can blame ME for doing or not doing to care for my child appropriately (bed bugs, etc). I have had "dealings" with CPS in the past (domestic violence victim) and everything is a worry to me when it comes to my children. His asthma is improved with only the one dose but the side effects are concerning. But I have to weigh the pros and cons.
