Flixotide (fluticasone) Side Effects

Flixotide was prescribed for me and by the 3rd day I was experiencing stomach pain, weight gain, and nausea. Anybody else experience this?

REPORT

Fluticasone is a steroid class medication, so those can be normal side effects, you may also experience headache, acne, nervousness, and insomnia.

How long will you be taking it? How are you doing, now?

Re: VerFree (# 1)

I've been on flixotide about a month. Before that pulmicort turbohaler for 2 mths. Seems both corticosteroids make me bloated, makes breathing worse than when I was just taking ultibro once a day as preventer plus my Ventolin when needed. Only reason the new dr I have put me on corticosteroids was he thought I was using my Ventolin too often. I explained to him that my house is in bush fire area and smoke was making it hard plus keeping windows doors closed didn't help. He just didn't seem to understand. Every time I mentioned bloating nausea from corticosteroids he says give it bit longer. I really don't want to. Would I get withdrawal symptoms after taking them for this short time and just go back to my Ventolin an continue with ultibro once a day now that smoke and fires are gone? My dr is on holiday for 6 weeks now. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
