For Allergic Rhinitis "Shocking side effects: I was prescribed Dymista for dust mite allergies and used it twice a day for 2 weeks, then once a day for another 10 days. Today it ended! I have been feeling dry and sore-eyed (constantly rubbing or asked if I've been crying), and in the past 4 days, have experienced the worst fatigue and worsening exhaustion of my entire life! I've felt like I need to sleep day and night. This, coupled with stabbing pains in my head and constant nausea, I was seriously starting to think I had some real gastric or neural issues going on! Then I came here and read the damning reviews of awful side effects of exhaustion, drowsiness, and upset stomachs. I must say there is some relief knowing I'm not alone, so I urge anyone prescribed this to monitor the side effects closely. Yes, my allergies improved (hence my 2/10 rating), but not at the cost of my overall well-being! Tonight was the last night I'll put this stuff in my body."

For Allergic Rhinitis "From 13 years old, I've suffered allergies, starting with hay fever, then progressing over the years to rhinitis. I'm nearly 37, and everything and anything can irritate my nose, from dust, pets, sprays, and even nasal sprays. Over the years, doctors have prescribed me many nasal sprays, one being Flixonase and now Dymista, although I stress to them it makes no difference as I just sneeze anything out as it irritates my nose so much. Any spray that does get through trickles very slowly over a couple of hours down my throat, making me sick, even though I am following the instructions as stated. I've lost my sense of smell and taste, and I'm at a total loss. My nasal passages are swollen (not sure if it's polyps), and my doctors just don't take it seriously. What else can I try? Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm in the U.K. Thank you."

For Allergic Rhinitis "The first several times of using this nasal spray almost made me barf. Actually, come to think of it, I did barf. However, I will say that this is the MOST effective nasal spray on the market! Most websites with information about Dymista (even their own website) are stating that it takes up to a week for the medication to work. I have not had to wait that long. For me, the spray works within seconds. I have allergies all year round. I visited my allergist and had a skin prick test done...allergic to everything...trees, pollen, dust, cockroach dust, grass...anything you can think of. I am not happy about the price and am very hopeful that soon, the price will drop a little."

For Allergic Rhinitis "There are other medications to treat this! Do NOT accept Dymista from the dr! I cannot describe how utterly DISGUSTING the taste and feeling is afterwards. That bad I was heaving each time I breathed, whether it was through my mouth or my nose! Got to the point where I was constantly being sick. Haven't slept for days, I am absolutely drained from just 1 spray of this stuff. This is much worse than the post-nasal drip in the first place."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I used Dymista for 7 months for chronic rhinitis. I also used prednisone for 10 days a few weeks before I stopped using Dymista. I now feel dizzy, nauseous, have no appetite, have trouble sleeping, feel depressed, and had severe tingling in my hands, face, and feet for a few weeks. It luckily stopped now. Does anyone else feel really bad after stopping Dymista? It never really helped my rhinitis either."

"Fluid in my ear and blockage. ENT put me on Flonase, prescription, and azelastine. Took it for a week. Also Claritin pill, prescription, and amoxicillin. I got very sick from the sprays. Nauseous, sore in the nose, headaches, dry mouth, can't sleep. I weaned myself off the sprays. Now just amoxicillin and pill. Never again. Back to my ocean saline solution and humidifier."

For Allergic Rhinitis "So, the allergist gave me a sample. I have been using Flonase. The aftertaste is awful, but worse is the subsequent coughing, nausea with vomiting shortly afterwards, and slight headache. Did not realize extra tiredness was also from this. It does feel like the nasal passages are opened up more, but the morning porcelain throne is not worth it. And no, not pregnant! Ain't possible. Definitely will inform MD."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Dymista was given to me by my allergist. I used it for about 4 or 5 days straight but was nauseated the whole time, and lost my sense of smell and taste. I do not think this is worth the inability to taste and smell, plus being nauseated."

For Allergic Rhinitis "The taste is awful and does last for hours. I was also given the sample without prior knowledge that I should not be driving after use. I feel so out of it, drowsy, slight nausea. I'm still waiting for my insurance to let me know if this medication is covered and how much it will be even after the coupon card. At this point, it's not worth purchasing. Haven't noticed any positive change either in my sense of smell or nasal breathing ability."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Dymista was recommended by my local GP for sinus congestion. After a week of use, I started feeling extreme fatigue, nausea, and headaches. I literally could not move from my bed, it was horrible. I even went to the emergency room, and no one could figure it out. I started searching for reviews online and read about similar symptoms. I threw the bottle in the bin after 3 days. I've finally started to recover from the fatigue, nausea, and headaches, but I also still have sinus congestion."

For Allergic Rhinitis "An ENT specialist recently prescribed this to me for a sleep apnea workup, I didn't report rhinitis as I don't consider I have it. Yesterday I suffered from severe colon spasms, nausea, and headache. Today I had (unpainful) loose, urgent motion. I have now looked up the adverse effects of Dymista 125/50 and conclude that this was the cause of the ailments. I thought doctors were supposed to warn you of adverse side effects, to keep an eye out for them! Not happy, lost a day's sick leave, and it cost $50."
