Hay fever is giving me many troubles, lately. Runny nose and all that itching and headache is really too much. Therefore, I got Flonase to help me dealing with these problems. Somehow, in the same time I started to feel anxious. I am not sure if this anxiety is related to Flonase or not.
According to my knowledge, Flonase is corticosteroid used as nasal spray to treat inflammation. Among side effects that could be found of Flonase anxiety is not mentioned. Maybe your anxiety feelings are more related to your hay fever, than to Flonase. One thing is sure; this question is for the doctor who prescribed you Flonase.

I have bad allergies and have used flonase frequently...however recently I started realizing that I've been extremely anxious and I've tested whether or not it is the flonase. Usually, when I go to bed I will inhale 2 sprays right before bed and in the middle of the night lately I wake up with my heart pounding and start having an anxiety attack. The nights I go to bed without using flonase right before bed I sleep like a baby. I didn't realize the direct correlation to Flonase until I stopped using it for a while and felt great...although my allergies were still there. Please talk to your doctor because I keep doing research and finding more and more cases of FLonase being the cause of anxiety in patients.
