I couldn't handle Advair for more that 3 weeks!
Had no problem with lower dose, other than voice changes, but prescription was not strong enough.
Higher dose: Couldn't sleep more than 3 hours per night; Indescribable Depression; Weight gain.
Stopped the Advair cold-turkey. Within 2 full days I was feeling almost human again, but still not my normal self.
In 4 full days feeling like myself and needing to use Albuterol inhaler again.
Advair was fantastic for my asthma, but mental health is equally important.

I have been on Advair for the past three years after a severe asthma attack on Oct 2005....what a mistake..I got all the side effects possible...really! Rash, arrhythmia, tachycardia, eye problems, runny nose, shakines, depression, anxiety, sleeping problems, nausea, muscle cramps or muscle spasms, hoarseness or voice changes, sinus infections, abdominal pain, dizziness, etc, etc and it is gatting worse! I am on 100/50 once...every two days! I could not stand all of this anymore- Does anyone know about some other less dangerous medication (Albuterol gives me the worse arrhythmia) Is it sensible to note that Advair and another dangerous medication; Paxil are from the same maker: glaxosmithkline pharmaceuticals? No wonder! Any input/help will be most welcome-A very worry French guy in San Francisco-

Have been on many psych drugs in the past, and was for a week or so on Remeron which gave me significant side effects and so I had to call/visit the doctor and right away got off the Remeron. I do NOT recommend this for anyone. It is too risky.
Remeron gave me significant trouble with my Memory/Concentration. I had a very difficult time working. I could only do the easy things and could barely even drive. I had to tell myself to stop at the stop signs. I need my brain to work, and it affected my ability to remember things, it affected my ability to understand what I was reading. It affected my ability to read written notes. It gave me significant trouble in speaking and walking, it gave me a retarded or lower in intelligence affect. My speech has NOT been the same and this was FIVE years ago that I took it, and only for a week or so! I speak slow and then later my speech changes. Doctors do NOT know how to fix it, and I went to like four doctors and the hospital to fix my voice changes. I am now UNABLE to work. I have worked for about three years. I can't get disability either at least not yet. Remeron caused me to go to the psych hospital as I had difficulty at home with family coping, and dr could not figure out what to do. Do NOT take it!! Do not let it ruin your memory and do not let it ruin your concentration abilities.

My daughter got the gardasil shot ten months ago. She was a normal healthy beautiful active teen before the shot.She had been running about ten miles a day and within none DAYS of getting the shot ( the reaction started sooner) she was in ICU fighting for her life! She has chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, stomach pains, insomnia, hairloss, voice changes, personality changes, auto immune issues, rashes, strange swelling, leg tremors, hand weakness, fatigue general malaise and I could go on and on. This was supposed to be her senior year, but she is so weak and missed so much school, she had to drop out. This has got to stop!
