i wish i looked for info about advair on
the internet before i started using it. it
seems like advair is making my asthma
worse and alot of other peoples worse. i
started taking advair like 7 month ago and
it seemed like for the first few months it
was working but i had to become dependant
on it everyday or else i would start
weezing nonstop. after that my weezing was
worst than ever and i started noticing
that after i used advair my weezing was
much worse. i saw this thread yesterday
and now for a day and a half i havent used
it and i feel alot better. i just started
using sinus rinse today but i dont know if
that had something to do with it also.
other than sinus rinse, can you all
recommend some other type of medications
that i can use instead of advair that gets
rid of inflamation? im gonna call the
pulmanologist in a couple days. i know hes
gonna recommend that i stay on advair but
i want to get an idea about whats been
working with other people so i can mention
it to him.
and another thing i forgot to ask. ive
just been doing some research on singulair
also and it seems like people are having
alot of serious side effects including
suicide. are there any drugs to help
asthma that dont have these crazy side
effects. i mean other than albuteral. it
seems like advair is making alot of
peoples asthma worse and singulair has a
whole list of crazy side effects like
people acting aggresive, suicide, cant
sleep, nightmares, depression. someone
please tell me that there are some drugs
to help asthma without all these side
affects.
A close friend of mine had bad experiences
with both of those medications. Although
Advair has worked for a good number of
people with asthma, I do not know too much
about Singulair. I've heard that mood
swings are a side effect and have seen
such side effects manifest in my friend
who was taking it. He has since stopped
both of these medications and is now on
Asthmanex. He had a very severe case of
asthma and found that adding Vitamin C,
Vitamin B complex, Magnesium, CoEnzyme
Q10, Ginkgo Biloba, and Lycopene to his
diet via supplements has helped him feel
healthier overall. I've read through
various sources (mostly clinical trials)
that these vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants may help those with asthma.
It's a lot of pills to be taking every
day, but it seems to help him, so I'm glad
he's feeling better. I hope you find
something that works for you but perhaps
you might want to look into alternative
treatment that has fewer side effects.
I'm not a doctor, so please talk to your
doctor before starting any new treatments.

I have been on Singulair for almost a year
mainly for allergies and for Asthma as a
side.
I have had 0 side effects from this. None
that I know of at least
I refused to use Advair because of all the
side effects I read about.
Singulair has done a little for my Asthma
I think. I have had only one "attack"
since I have been on it and that was
totally stress related, but I still use by
Albuteral way too much.
I was using Magnisuim also for awhile and
it worked if you can find one that is
asborved quickly.
