I took Nasonex because I have a post nasal drip, and allergies. After taking for about 1 week, I had a raw throat and my voice became weak and hoarse. I stopped Nasonex last week and my voice is getting stronger every day. Also, I have the feeling of pressure in my ears. Anyone experience voice problems while on this?

Had mirena inserted Jan '05. Spotting and such for months afterwards but overall have been pretty happy. Love having such light periods, but I said to hubby this morning that I feel like my pmt is getting longer and longer. At the start I had breast tenderness, bloating, and feeling down for a few days. This month breast tenderness, bloating, and mood changes seem to have started 10 days before expected period. In addition I have been seeing a skin specialist for acne for over a year and still can't seem to get on top of it. Most important for me though is that for the past 18 months I have had trouble with my voice (my voice feels deep and thick and talking is often uncomfortable and I can't possibly sing). Have seen heaps of different specialists and had stacks of tests but there doesn't seem to be any physical reason for the problems. Has any one else had voice problems?

I finally know what is wrong with me and I think I can help some other people also...so I felt compelled to post!
I have been on Advair for almost 5 years and have experienced weight gain (35 lbs), heart rate increase, anxiety and just over all restlessness. Now, my asmtha is under control, but I have had voice problems and continuous phlem in the back of my throat.
I have gone to a wonderful speech pathologist that told me that a lot of this was due to Advair. He asked me to cut down and once my pulmonary specialist heard that he was angry. The pathologist told me to drink a lot of water, but in small sips. Don't drink hot liquids, coffee, caffine and to constantly chew gum or have candy to keep your saliva glands working. Don't whisper! It's worse for your voice. Also, if you use albuterol use a dispenser chamber that will slow down the dosage...there you go...about 1000K of advice from a pro!
I am looking into other avenues to treat my asmtha after reading your posts. I am 27 and the symptoms are just not worth the pain they cause. Hopefully Advair will fix these symptoms, but it is pretty powerful stuff!

I was put on Toprol xl after a visit to the Dr. because of a kidney stone. My pressure was extremely high at the time, probably more due to the fact that my kidney wasn't functioning properly with the stone. Anyway, 50 mg of the generic once a day. I was also given lipitor. I stopped the lipitor 2 months after taking it, because I felt like my body was put through a meat grinder....slowly. After 2 months on the Toprol, I have been extremely anxious, tired and my voice has suddenly become very weak. I even went to the ENT to make sure there was nothing else going on. Everything was fine. I cut the dose from 50 mg to 25 and within 2 days my voice returned to normal. The problem is my BP also went up. Anyone else have voice problems with this med?
