Bronchial spasms symptoms and conditions

I started taking advair 3 days ago when I had bronchial spasms and started having horrendous leg and foot cramps. I googled the two symptoms along with the new medication and came across this site. I am relieved that I am not the only one surprised by the side effects but now wonder if I should continue on my new breathing regimen or cut the advair and just use the xopenex and singulair. Anyone else cut back without major asthma return?

After 12 days, my bronchial spasms and cough were gone for three days. On the fourth day, spasms and cough returned, this time with clear or white phlegm. After a few days, I developed dysphonia, which persists, along with a less productive cough. It has been 23 days since the first dose, and I didn't use it today.
I used Advair for one month about a year ago for the same condition, and the only side effect I had was loss of taste, and that dissipated after I finished the medication.

Changed from Atenolol to Lisinoprol because of the new guidelines about beta blockers versus ACE inhibitors. Within 24 hours I was dizzy, weak, pains in my abdomen, tight chest, heart pounding, breathless, could not run for the bus. I persevered and took 3 doses (5 mgs each) but eventually felt so bad I stopped and after 24 hours went back on Atenolo. Within 1 hour I was much improved. In spite of the guidelines and the long term dangers of beta blockers, I feel I have no choice but to stick with them as my quality of life on Lininopril was unacceptable.

I have suffered with aAsthma all my life. My brothers we all were premature and have bronchial issues. I have had allergies and shot along with acute asthma attacks that sent me to the hospital. One of my siblings almost died from his bronchial spasms. My mother was a smoker and she continued smoking while she was pregnant. We are living proof that smoking is devastating to your unborn child. Well, moving on foward I have taken Advair for about approxiamately three years. I was reluctant at first but my constant bronchial infections and asthma led my doctor to send me to an asthma specialist. I had taken steroid injections and steriod pills in the past when needed. Now this time it was different I had to follow the "program" according to my physcian.Now every day I would inhale into the purple disk my dosage was 500mg. and so started the drug induced trip of a lifetime ! The side effects for me were small at first but gradually they grew and even gained momentum! There was the hoarseness, weight gain, nervouseness, heart palpitations, depression, extreme bruising, asthma attacks, growths, complex endometrial cysts on my ovaries ( I attribute to the steriods my periods became irregular and light when I was taking the disk) . I also, developed sebacious cysts on my back and face. Three yars and it took a trip to Vegas over the summer to make me realize the connection!! I was leaving through photographs from the trip. I did not recognize my self. My face was round, my legs swollen and bruised. I am a health nut and even with the astma continued a regular routine to this day of runniong and weight training. I was irritable all the time, I had boughts of insomnia and woke up sometimes in a cold sweats. The steriod inhanced the hormonal changes. I am in my forties and expected some degree of flucuations but not to this degree. NONE of the woman in my family had ever experinced this before. I truley beleive the steriods interuppted my monthly cycle which effected the hormonal balance to a far higher degree than what should of happened to me. I stopped taking Advair approxiamtely 3 1/2 months ago. Since then my periods are back to normal ( I have not missed one yet ). Since, I stopped in August by October no more bruising, normal menstural flow, my face has go down, no more nervouseness..ect. I am currently taking Spivera with very few side affects..sometimes I develop a rash on face... big deal ( I will be closely watching side effects from now on) It still beats the harmful side effects of Advair. I will never take the purple disk again !!!

I had an allergic reaction to lamisil tablets. After an extreme round of skin rash and sores came the wheezing and coughing from bronchial spasms. The doctor prescribed advair and albuteral. I actually got worse! Muscle pain, coughing jags every morning with green mucus, dry cough and general malaise. I looked for warnings with the advair box and found none. I had to go to the internet to find out that this stuff CAUSES bronchitis. It's been 3 months now. Two months of inhaling that junk and one month off. I'm still coughing up green chunks every morning and cough all through the day. There should have been warnings in the box and the doctor should not have prescribed this stuff for me.
