THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENCOURAGING WORDS. Its been 48 hours since I stopped using it.. insomnia and breathlessness has been my worse which caused anxiety now a vicious circle when time for bed.. always worse of night...What did you use for your stuffiness... I don't want to every use flonase again... its been horrible... insomnia, anxiety, feeling breathless can't get deep breath, cough when I try, been off 48 hours and I don't feel as tight in my chest, however still feel very anxious as night approaches and starts the anxiety all over again as nights are so long and can't sleep.. and seem to concentrate on each breath I take. If I do sleep that's if... it is a dose no a good sleep. I never had that problem until Flonase. go to bed out in 5 minutes and wake in the morning. Using nasal flushes, and saline spray, but my allergy season isn't here.. i was treated for rebound congestion from Afrin.

I am prone to anxiety and since taking Flonase over a week, today I had a panic attack. My jaw is tight and I can’t relax.

I had the same problem with Flonase , only it caused other horrible problems like aches and pains swollen mouth and all my teeth hurt and I had trouble with my saliva glands hurting . I had just got out of the hospital for broken ribs and a collapsed lung can’t believe any doctor would prescribe this horrible drug.

I was taking flonase sensimist for 10 days, and now cannot get rid of the anxiety, and panic attacks at night. I also have hypothyroidism and take synthroid. I am wondering if that is causing a prolonged adverse reaction to the flonase. How to stop it?

Happens to me too with just one spray in each nostril. Feeling it right now. I knew this about myself and Flonase and doctors say they don’t see a connection, even the ENT. So I tried Flonase again. Big mistake.

Write to the FDA? What a joke you have got to be kidding they couldn’t give a shot they approved it. People are suffering and they could care less. Doctors and nurses won’t believe you either. They might listen but that’s it

Hey y’all. I am another that is so glad to of found this thread. As there is kind of limited conflicting theories on if Flonase actually has a significant withdrawal or not. I can assure you it is terrible for me as well. I was on two sprays each nostril a day for about two years or so. Worked very well for me I didn’t have any anxiety or issue while on it but I wanted to quit last time I got a severe nose bleed from it so I kicked it cold turkey 5 days ago. Two days into my cold turkey kick I started getting what I perceive to be severe chest pains and non stop chest tightness and fight or flight adrenaline anxiety. I am 5 days in and I will be super tired and lay in bed forever without actually sleeping. There’s that chest and back tightness that feels like a heart issue. Blood pressure is higher than normal. Very very scary. Definitely from the Flonase withdrawal which not everyone believes is real. But it def is. Hoping to be back to my old self sometime soon. Drinking chamomile tea for example will relax me but the chest tightness anxiety will still linger under the relaxation it’s hard to explain. Like others have said it is constant and when you try to sleep you stay in a lingering half sleep mode. Constantly borderline waking up to that jolty adrenaline hormone feeling. Good luck everyone hopefully we find peace here.

How long did it take for your symptoms to go away? I’m almost at three weeks and fill about 65%. Still having mild panic in the morning heart palpitations at night. I’m hoping I’m almost a couple weeks out six weeks.
