MY SON WAS A VERY ENERGETIC TEN YEAR OLD UNTIL HE STARTED THE ADVAIR DISKUS NOT EVEN A MONTH AGO. ALL OF A SUDDEN HE IS HAVING CRYING SPELLS AND IT SEEMS THAT HE IS STRUGGLING WITH WORRY. JUST TODAY HE HAD TO TALK TO THE COUNSELLOR AT SCHOOL. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HIM. HE USUALLY HAS NO PROBLEM WITH GOING TO SCHOOL. HE IS AFRAID SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIS FATHER. ALSO, HE HAS STARTED ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER- EVEN THOUGH WE ANSWER HIM VERY CLEARLY. THUS HE STARTS TO WORRY AND BECOME UPSET. IT IS AS IF HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. COULD HE BE STARTING TO STRUGGLE WITH OCD ALSO? WHATEVER IT MAY BE, I AM STOPPING HIS ADVAIR IMMEDIATELY. THIS MEDECINE IS DRAGGING MY SON DOWN.

much easier to blame a medicine than to believe something may actually be wrong with your son isn't it? I have the same fears you just discribed and I have also taken advair on and off for the last ten years or so. There is no relation. Before you say there is a relation because I'm on the same meds and have the same problem.. mine started at a time when I was not even on the medicine. You need to get our son to a phycologist NOW or it will just continue to get worse. The earlier you start treating something like this the better!

Please do not worry that your son has OCD. I have been experiencing exactly the same symptoms, and all from the Advair. The past couple weeks I have been suffering from severe crying spells and intense anxiety / fear that someone close to me may die. I have never had these symptoms before, and I am 48 years old. Today, I called my doctor and told her I am stopping the Advair. Your son will be in my prayers.
