I've been using Flovent 100mcg Diskus for a few months now to manage my asthma, and while it's been helpful, I've been experiencing some side effects that are a bit concerning. I've had some throat irritation and a few headaches, which I guess are common, but I've also experienced some dizziness and mood changes. I'm not sure if these are normal or if I should be worried. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Any advice or insights would be much appreciated. I've been taking it regularly as prescribed, but these side effects are starting to get to me. Has anyone had success with managing these symptoms?

I've been on Flovent for years and haven't had any major issues. Maybe try rinsing your mouth after using it to reduce throat irritation? Also, headaches can be common, but dizziness and mood changes are a bit unusual. You should definitely talk to your doctor about that.

I've had some headaches, but not the dizziness. Maybe it's something else causing that. Keep a diary of your symptoms and talk to your doctor.

I had similar side effects when I started using Flovent. My doctor adjusted the dosage and it helped a lot. Might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

I've had some throat irritation too, but nothing too bad. I rinse my mouth with water after each use and that seems to help. As for the dizziness and mood changes, that's concerning. Definitely worth a call to your doctor.

I've had some weird side effects too, but I'm not sure if they're from the Flovent or something else. It's hard to tell with asthma meds sometimes. Just keep an eye on it and talk to your doctor if it gets worse.

Dizziness and mood changes sound serious. You should definitely talk to your doctor about that. Maybe it's not the Flovent, but something else going on. Don't wait too long, though.
