I tried flonase a bunch of times, it never worked for me so I stoped every time. Sometimes docs would give it to me and I would throw it away. Afrin that nasal spray is a killer, plz never use afrin. thats a otc

Yes...flonase dried my nose out but I figure it is better than filling my sinuses with fluid. Wondering what you mean about inability to lay down at night? I have insomnia, is that what you are talking about?

the only thing I have noticed is a cough. I just getlayed down and it starts. one side of my nose stops up, depending on which way I lay, then I turn over and here I go again. Then the tickle coughing. Ugh, I hate nights.

I just started this today. My allergies have been really bad this fall. I currently have an ear infection, and bad cough and have completly lost my voice. I will let you know how it works for me.

My son, when he first started treatments for allergies, was given Flonase. He was 6 or 7, can't remember right now. Anyway, the Flonase caused really bad nose bleeds with him. He would wake up in the morning and his pillow covered in blood. He had to go off of it. He has taken Zyrtec for years now.

Have you tried anything else for your allergies or seen a specialist? I never had this problem with flonase but something definately needs to be done for you. I hope you get some answers soon.

I have now been on this since the end of Oct. I wasn't sure if it was doing anything since its cold out now and my allergies should not be bothering me as much...although I seem to be very allergic to the heat in our house..don't know if the ducts need to be cleaned or what but I wake up with a cough a lot. Anyways....my script ran out and I haven't gotten it refilled yet. I can really see a difference. I haven't been feeling well and have been congested...although it could be a cold...never know with that post nasal drip stuff...not to mention I work with a bunch of germ ridden tots all day.

Flonase has alcohol in it! YIKES. Nasacort and Rhinocort has Hydrochloric acid added YIKES! I am in pharma and won't even take my company's own product...ONLY take Nasonex it is the best. Won't dry you out and doesn't burn. You will soooo thank me.
