Flonase and sense of smell

Sense of smell is lost.

It made me bloated, excitable, moody, depressed, angry and most of all, lost my sense of smell. Not to mention, 2 weeks after I stared taking it I caught a horrible cold and I never get sick, accept for my allergies. I only took this medicine for about 3 weeks. I cannot wait until it is out of my system. I know it has steroids in it and they are powerful drugs and it can stay in your system for a long time.

I used in the past Flonase and worked. This time, I used the "generic" by other laboratory. I used it only once.
Developed a headache, felt virus-like symptoms and blisters on my lips. The most uncomfortable side effect ... 12 days and counting, everything with an aroma (or smell), smells the same, like some chemical. Even coffee, food. Have not used it again but side effects continue. Have tried saline spray to clean nostrils ... nothing has worked. Just wait??

I have used flonase for several years now. It is apparent to me that I have lost my sense of smell. I know that Zicam is being sued for a side effect that causes the loss of sense of smell. Has anyone else experienced this with Flonase?

While using Flonase I lost 90 per cent of my sense of taste and smell. Very unsettling, but resolved quickly after I discontinued the medication.
