Just wanted to let everyone know that you can get Intal Inhaler overseas. It is simple the best asthma med I've ever used and it has been around for 30 years. You can ask you doctor for a prescription. I got the 5 mg. I take 2 puffs 4 times a day, but you can take it up to 8 times a day if you need to.

Did the Singulair, Flovent, Flonase and I developed panic attacks, panic disorder, agoraphobia, depression and ulcerative colitis. Slowly got off of all of them and not only am I almost back to my normal self, I can breathe!

I get my Intal Inhaler at Panther Meds, butotherplaces offer it too. It takes about 3 weeks to get as it's coming from overseas. Please note - Europe's drug process is much more severe than ours. The prescribed Intal more than any other asthma medication. They say the corticosteroids should only be used with extreme, uncontrollable asthma due to all of the side effects.

I am 44 years old and have been taking singulair for about 4 years. 3 months ago I started experiencing crushing chest pain, tingling in my lower limbs, and felt very stressed out. I went to the ER last Thursday and was checked out for angina - the ER doctor told me I was suffering from chronic severe anxiety. I took Ativan for 4 days and felt better, but now the drigs are gone and I again having constant chest pain. In doing some research I found that anxiety can be caused by imbalance in adrenaline, and so started looking online to see if any of the allergy/asthma meds I am taking (adviar, singulair, allegra) can affect adrenaline. That';s when I found this website. Although i find the testimony compelling, I wish more folks would have poted about how their symptoms improved (or didn't) AFTER discontinuing singulair. Also I've noticed many of the stories are about children not adults; many people are taking more than one med for asthma, and most people's symptoms seem to come on right away whereas I have been taking sinulair for years and only recently have anxiety. I will stop singulair tonight and see what happens, but am wondering if anyone has come across further research that correlates singiulair with anxiety? My job life is really peaceful, I am otherwise happy, work can get hectic but that's true of any job, and I am out of ideas as to why suddenly at age 44, when I eat right and exercise - why get anxiety? Thanks for the posts, I'll try to remember to follow up after I am off Singulair for a few weeks.

I've been on Advair 500/50 for about five years now. Nothing seemed to control my adult onset asthma before then. Singulair worked great but caused shin pain. I seem to tolerate the Advair well in most regards. About 3-4 years ago, I started having a productive cough. It is not all day long, but usually upon first rising and occasional bouts during the evening. I am also hoarse, but it could be due to other meds. I have had pulmonary workup which was great. I have recent cardiac workup, also great. Breathing is fine, better than ever. It is this cough that makes me sound worse than tv's Felix Unger. I am beginning to think it is caused by the Advair, as no other diagnosis is forthcoming.

I can not believe what I'm reading. My 5 year old was also given Singulair to treat asthma/allergies. He began having night terrors that increased in intensity over the past year. I stopped the Singulair on July 1 and the night terrors have reduced greatly. I am concerned about his asthma though. He has a consistent cough at night and I feel like he needs some type of treatment. Any suggestions?

Hello asthmatics,
I've taken Advair for about 10 years and have had a problem with bone and muscle pain since I've been on it. I started taking it because it was the only med. that enabled me to breathe, as I have severe asthma. Back in the day before Advair, I used nebulizers all the time. After reading the side effects of Advair (decreased bone density), I realize I need to stop taking it. I take a calcium substitute every day and this helps to eliminate the pain, but I feel like I have the body of a 90 year old and I'm only 24! Screw Advair, I don't need to mess around with bone density issues! I wish my doctor had told me that, or I had thought to look it up years ago. Only recently have I eliminated all other Rx drugs (except the occasional nasal spray) as well as most everything over the counter. I hope I'll still be able to breathe without it! If not I'll just have to find something else to take. Any thoughts on Intal? It seems like it might have less side-effects. Take care and good luck to all.

i have suffered from Chronic ASthma and Allergies since I was two weeks old and have been on and off Prednisone ever since. The first 6 years of life were in and out of the hospital, recieving ventolin, intal, beclifort, and prednisone treatments. at times I would be on up to 10 meds 5 times a day. My doctor who is still my Doctor today (Im 22) said that they didnt know how i survived. Im assuming it was the above list of meds, my wicked parents and faith. I remember as a kid , my mom would have to crush the prednisone up and put it in jam and i would cry becasue it is honestly the tiniest and wort tasting pill I have ever ingested! I shoul dhave known i was in for trouble.
the thing of it is that by grade 1 I was moonfaced and gained excessive weight in my stomach and back. my brothers were thin and active adn parents the same. but i was a real case, couldnt swim or skate or stay outside too long or go on sleepovers without my "machine" as i called my nebulizer. Frankly it sucked, bu i only say that now, becasue i realize that not everyone had to live this way. up until like teo years ago i just assumed that most people dealt with the same stuff.
anyway, im 22, my legs and arms are ridiculously strong, like we are talking hard. but since im 5'2 on the best of days , my rather large leg muscles make me look even stouter. I have had most fo the symptoms, my hair is a lot thinner, swelling etc, but the worst is the weight in my middle. I CANNOT get rid of it. I feeel like im clogged full of cortisone and steroid byproduct and that it is making weightloss in my middle , nonexistent. this really has affected my emotionally because og course i grew up in a country town and was fat and it scared me for life and now i have trouble being touch by men becasue i feel like they are just feeling my fat. which isnt my damn fault. I wish i had at least had the pleaseure of eating all my favourite foods in order ot become more than 60 pounds overweight. it scares me too because of course fat around the middle is the worse place to have ti and leads to all sorts of lovely things.. and my parents feel so bad becasue i had to go through the mental torture from kids and adults alike but like they say , it was either prednisone or death. i am also now a narcoleptic, and take effexor and alertec for that whcih has its own set of side effects, but none as severe as prednisone. I suppose we all have our crosses to bear though.

I have been taking Advair for several years with no apparent side effects at all. For me it seems to work great. I take one inhalation of Advair in the morning and one at night along with two inhalations of Intal. I work out vigorously five times a week and have plenty of energy throughout the day at work. My heart rate and blood pressure are normal and I am rarely sick.

I am a 33YO female diagnosed with asthma since 2 years old. I have been through the ringer with every medication known to man to treat asthma. I have tried , ventolin, intal,singular,becatide, blah blah blah!!!. I was a 2 puffs a day , never leave home without it albuteral user. I couldnt dance, run or have "fun" with my husband without an attack. ADVAIR CHANGED MY LIFE. I AM A NEW PERSON. I am living life without my crutch of my albuteral. I NEVER gets attacks except maybe once a year. I am a firefighter and work like I never thought my lungs would let me. I feel like my lungs are soooo much stronger now. HOWEVER, if I do not take my advair I will notice within 12 hours a slight tightness in my chest. I take 250/50 once each night. my doctor prescribed it twice morning and night, but I eventually weened myself down to once a night. I have put weight on, but who cares, I can breath. Hope you all can feel the relief I can from this lifechanging medication. thank you
