| 1 | asthma | weakened teeth enamel,70 pounds weight gain,weakened eye sight, sleepiness,depression | it wrecked my life,at first i thought i found what i have wanted my whole life.I could breath again i felt energy and like i could live again.i had 20/20 vision never and cavities I mean never not even as a child.I was always about 130 at the most in weight no i cant move under 190 no matter what i do i am stuck with the weight.6 months off and my life is still messed up.i have no idea how to make myself better now.this med and most other asthma meds need taken off the market.I refuse to do more then take an allergy pill and a black cup of coffee.i am disgusted in the fact doctors give this out and when you tell them the med did this to you they say just eat better it can't be advair. | F | 34 | 5 years 250 1X day | 10/2/2012 | 5 | asthma | none | love it, no problems, only complaint is the cost -- with it I just don't have asthma symptoms | F | 62 | 6 years 100/50 2X day | 4/19/2012 | 1 | acid-reflux induced asthma | major weight gain, asthma worse if dose missed | Quitting Advair can be rough for the first few days, but it DOES get better. I've learned from my own experience that Advair creates a dependency scenario, where if you stop taking it your symptoms get worse than ever--but only for a few days, if you can stick it out. I was put on Advair twice a day for acid reflux-related asthma. I decided to quit it cold turkey, as I gained a lot of weight from the steroids and have never weighed so much in my life. The day after I quit, I got really bad withdrawal symptoms--particularly, my asthma became the WORST it's ever been in my life. My chest felt as if it had concrete poured into it. It got so bad that I was waking up every couple of hours and couldn't get any sleep. I was tempted to go back on the Advair, as I was using my albuterol inhaler every two hours, but I kept reminding myself that it was just the Advair causing extreme withdrawal symptoms and that it would get better. As I was determined to stick it out and quit the steroids, I endured three days of terrible withdrawal symptoms. Now, I'm happy to say that I'm no longer dependent on Advair and I'm back to my normal self. After about 3 days of breathing hell (which is known as "rebound inflammation"), everything normalized and I only use my albuterol as needed. | F | 40 | 30 days 250 mg 2X day | 4/4/2012 | 1 | Asthma | At first I thought it wasa Miracle drug. Yea miracle I'm still alive .. This medicine is horrible and shouldbe taken off the market .. I rinsed my mouth out still got thrush all the time on it , my glands I. My throat were swollen , I couldn't breath ,thinking it was the outdoor allergies . I found this site reasearched this mess and this is the Monster that's been killing me . I stopped it no taper just stopped ...singuliar is the same thing I have bad asthma but not as bad as I thought .. When I stopped this the amount of stuff I was coughing up out of my lungs was unreal ..ease research this stuff I'm stll not 100% better ..this stuff does not deserve a ace on a shelf it's horrible .. To many side effects .. | F | 42 | 6 months 50mg | 4/3/2012 | 1 | asthma/bronchospasms | After only two huffs during a twelve hour period, developed raging thrush - nasty, painful. | This stuff is extremely expensive. It was a shame to throw away 58/60ths of the contents, but there was no way that I could use it and no one I know uses Advair. | M | 55 | 1 days 100/50 1X day | 2/11/2012 | 5 | Asthma | No side effects | F | 69 | 3 years 2X day | 2/8/2012 | 2 | Life long Asthma | Heart palpitations, Tachycardia, Severe Weight Gain, Worsening Asthma, Asthma Sensitivity, Dry Mouth, Dependency, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts | I was given this medicine and for the first month or two it was a miracle. Then the weight gain started and I didn't correlate the problem to the Advair. I went from 130 lbs up to 215 at my highest even with eating good and exercising. My asthma was well controlled and then started declining after taking the drug I couldn't breathe. I started getting rapid heart rates and palpitations that continued even after discontinuing the drug. Upon discontinuing I was given Flovent 110 which worked like a charm after I got over the initial Asthma hypersensitivty that the Advair caused. Within a couple years and even with a pregnancy I went from 215 down to 110 lbs, my normal body weight for my height/size. I will never take Advair again. If this drug works for you without dangerous side effects that is awesome, but for me it didn't :( | F | 27 | 2 years up 250/50 2X day | 1/25/2012 | 1 | asthma | shaking, heart palpatations, sore throat, flushed face | did not help my asthma. singular works much better | F | 11 | 1 days one puff 2X day | 1/2/2012 | 5 | Asthma | This really helped out my asthma. I noticed an immediate effect. It slightly increased my appetite, which I didn't mind. The only reason I am not on it now is because it contains an LABD, which can cause heart failure. At my request, my allergy doctor switched me to Flovent instead (which only has a corticosteroid and not an LABD). | LABD - Long Acting Bronchodilator. An LABD can cause heart failure, so I had my allergy doctor switch me to Flovent instead. Advair Discus has both an LABD and a corticosteroid. | M | 49 | 7 years 250/50 2X day | 10/25/2011 | 3 | asthma | It worked great at first and then I started getting weird heart palpitations... needless to say I found out Advair HAS BEEN RECALLED YEAR AFTER YEAR BECAUSE OF IT'S BLACK BOX WARNING OF SUDDEN DEATH. No Thanks. I went back to trying other methods like juicing for asthma, and natural remedies. To date the safest asthma meds I've found are Flovent and Pulmicort... which isn't saying alot as they all have side effects. :/ GET HEALTHY FROM THE INSIDE OUT IS THE BEST ANSWER. Also try tips from Dr's that would prefer natural meds. Good health to all. | F | 37 | 3 months 1X day | 9/17/2011 | 5 | Asthma | None, | It has been an unbelievable med. I take it along with Spiriva and Singulair. Have had very little asthma. | M | 69 | 10 years 1X day | 7/25/2011 | 5 | Asthma | Basically no side effects, only a few times slight candida, but it goes away | I am very happy with this medication. It has kept my asthma under control, and I live a 'normal' life | M | 49 | 3 years 100/50 1X day | 6/24/2011 | 3 | asthama / sarcoidosis | Advair appears to have helped me BUT if the inhaler is out of medicine it still puffs so if I don't put my glasses on and read the tiny numbers of doses left on the back I can and have run out which resuts in ROID RAGE for me and hell for those around me. | M | 54 | 100 2X day | 5/29/2011 | 5 | Asthma | Weakened enamel. I have had 3 full crowns and an implant since taking this. One day I woke up and literally had a crumbled tooth in my mouth. My dentist says my hygiene is good and the chemicals in inhalers are doing damage. I rinse thoroughly after use now. My teeth have been in good condition for the past two years. | I cannot get a good night sleep without Advair. If I don't take it I wake up wheezing. It's been very helpful for me while living with asthma. I recommended it to my father-in-law and he loves it too. | F | 30 | 7 years 250 1X day | 4/6/2011 | 5 | Asthma | None so far. | My pack is actually 250/50. I was using my rescue inhaler at least 8-10 times per day. The evening I took my first inhalation of Advair it was SUCH a relief! I slept the entire night without using my rescue inhaler! Now I've been on it for over a week and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to use my rescue inhaler! Advair has been a BLESSING to me! | F | 48 | 10 days 1 puff 2X day | 4/6/2011 | 3 | asthma | racing heart | Worked fine for preventing asthma attacks, but the cardiac side effects were scary and potentially dangerous | M | 58 | 3 months strd dose 1X day | 3/6/2011 | 5 | asthma | none | i had so many days of missed school before advair, not anymore 1 | M | 20 | 365 days 100/50 2X day | 12/26/2010 | 4 | asthma | Mild and occasional foot cramps. | Actually taking 250/50 BID and it helps keep my asthma in better control. Nothing cures asthma and there will always be exacerbations for most of us, but this helps day to day and also improves symptoms so I can go camping and hiking. | M | 53 | 2 years 250/50 2X day | 12/7/2010 | 2 | Prescribed for lung irritation | Accelerating symptoms of tightness in chest, "racing heart", difficulty taking a breath, sores developing on tongue, swelling in throat, difficulty swallowing (had to discontinue taking other medicines as they would not go down), diminished strength, difficulty walking, unable to leave home. | In two weeks I changed from being able to leave my house to shop briefly, perform quick errands, go out to eat and other tasks to being unable to leave my home except for important medical appointments. I don't know whether my developing problems resulted from inhaling the vitamin (underwent bronchoscopy for removal) or from using Advair but the first week after the medical procedure I was not using Advair and was recovering much better. I am not being treated for Asthma or COPD problems, only a lung irritation due to vitamin residue remaining in my lungs! I would not advise anyone NOT to take this medicine if it truly will help them, as many people do not experience side effects, but hope doctors will listen to those who have real difficulty, since my doctors don't seem to want to listen to me. | F | 63 | 14 days 100/50 2X day | 12/4/2010 | 3 | wheezing,exercize induced asthma | heart palpatations,extreme bruising, any small bump causes bruising that would take months to go away,tongue swollen so bad could barely swallow when taking more than 1 dose a day | Had asked the dr why I kept on bruising so bad. No idea then checked the side effects and there it was. Went for accupunture and taking vitamin K to help heal the bruises but old marks still there . Wish there was something else to take . Am worried my asthma will get worse and stuck taking this drug. | F | 52 | 5 years 1X day | 11/28/2010 |
