★★☆☆☆
If you suffer from anxiety or depression, DO NOT use this product!
TL:DR - Flonase increased my anxiety symptoms from mild to full blown panic attacks almost daily. Completely debilitated me for almost 9 months. AVOID this if you have any underlying anxiety issues that you are being treated for. The long story: So I started taking Flonase just before we entered COVID-19 lockdown. About two weeks into the lockdown I started experiencing full blown panic attacks (which, to the non-sufferer, feel like heart attacks - your heart races, you sweat profusely, you have overwhelming feelings of terror, you cannot function). I assumed the severe anxiety was due to the pandemic lockdown (a natural assumption I'd think) so I just kept on taking the flonase - which was helping with my allergies - and started popping 2-3 xanax a day just to try to make it until bedtime, then rinse/repeat the next day. I cannot stress how crappy this was. Then one day I was about to squirt the flonase into my nose and suddenly had the thought "wait, when did I start taking this stuff?" then I googled "Flonase anxiety" and was suddenly faced with over 200 reviews on another site of people having horrifying anxiety symptoms EXACTLY like I was experiencing after taking this product. It was literally my situation to a T - had mild anxiety before, started having extreme panic attacks immediately after Flonase. I threw the bottle in the trash. Within two weeks I was back to normal. The nightmare has been over for about 2 months now and I feel great, no xanax required. Giving this 2 stars as it did in fact clear up my allergies. -3 stars for literally ruining my life for 9 months.
