I have long suspected that Advair has contributed to my weight gain of 30 pounds, the achiness in my back and muscles and the cramping in the middle of the night in my legs and feet. Apparently, it depletes your potassium and that causes the cramping.
I'm off of it now and I am starting to feel better after a few weeks. My breathing is worse and I will say it did help my asthma. But the side effects have just been adding up. If your doctor doesn't believe you - get a new doctor. I've read many blogs and people are writing in with the same symptoms.
I've just started taking Spiriva and hoping that will help with the asthma.
If your asthma is afflicting you daily, don't neglect to find the right medication for you. Though good to get off medication that makes you feel bad you don't want to put your life at risk and go without treatment.
