I took Zicam once, a year ago, it gave me so much nausea I had to leave work and go home to lie down. It was the equvalent of being really sea sick. I tossed the bottle that day. I was feeling ill for the last 3 weeks and thought I had an infection, but doctor told me it was a really bad allergy. I never had allergies which effected my breathing before, only my sinuses(30 years). Oh great, my allergies have become worse. So she gave me Flonase, I spoke to the pharmacist, and told him about my bad experience with Zicam for allergies, he told me it was the Zinc component which made me ill. Taken Flonase 3 times, got a very light headache, but not sure if its Flonase, or the inhaler medicine...still testing it out. May use the inhaler spray with my regular allergy medicine, but I forgot to ask if it was okay.
