 4  Repeated Pneumonias, Asthma So far, this medication has helped my daughter with her asthma. Not one puff on an inhaler since she started it. She had TERRIBLE side effects from inhaled and topical steroids for pneumonia prevention and eczema. The depressed moods, suicidal talk and meltdowns were contant. On THIS medication, she has an occaisional meltdown, but so far, much more manageable. No more suicidal talk and self-injurous behavior, no moe bed-wetting. I have noticed that she has become a constant sensory seeker. She flips on and off the furniture and asks for a bear hug at least 2 times and hour. She has been enrolled in gymnastics because of this and LOVES it. I have reduced sugar, dairy and gluten in her diet to help with the eczema and general inflamation. I aslo give her EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids), vitamin D, a multivitamin with a probiotic, and extra zinc at signs of a cold. So far she has done well, health-wize. She is aware of what the steroids did to her and feels comforted in knowing F 44 3 months

 4  Asthma and Allergies Withdrawn, Frequent Stomach Aches, Exhaustion, Unexplained sadness/ mood swings This medicine seemed like a godsend when I first started taking it. My asthma was back under control within a week. BUT when I'd take my pill I'd either fall asleep within an hour or turn into a zombie who couldn't function. If my alarm or my nephew woke me up before I'd slept long enough I'd wake up feeling sick, with a terrible headache and basically barely functioning. My boyfriend pointed out that I've been down and not really talking to anyone, which while sadness and mood swings aren't my norm I am usually a bit of a loner, just not to this extreme. I had noticed it and was actually thinking I might be a little depressed before seeing the side effects listed here. I've also had a bit of trouble with my stomach, everything from just a stomach ache to that horrid unsettled feeling, and constipation. I'm not sure if I'll stay on this medicine or not. I think I'm going to talk to the doctor and see what other options I have. I can live with these side effects, but I don't know for how long. F 22 1 months
