My husband is 24 and has been on Advair for about a month now since he started using it he has experienced horrible headaches,worse asthma symptoms then ever before,constant mucus buildup,severe stomach cramps,chest pains,cramps like a tightening sensation in his pinky,not able to sleep,tired all the time,bad mood swings,and worst of all he used to have 20/20 vision but within the last 2 weeks had to see an eye doctor for blurred vision now he has glasses.When he asked his doctor about side effects this drug may have he was told by the doctor none at all is that legal for your doctor to lie to you?THIS DRUG HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE PLEASE PLEASE FOR YOUR SAKE AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAKE DO NOT TAKE THIS CRAP!!! If anyone knows if his eye sight will get better please post your experience and let us know.THIS MEDICATION IS DEATH IN A DISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
I am not sure why your husband would experience such reactions to advair Diskus.I have taken it for years and have done great on it. My sister takes it and her daughter in law does with no side effects as you have had.Does he rinse his mouth out after using it? You are not suppose to swallow it. Doctor told me that. I did once and didnt feel well afterward. Perhapes give that a try. Or maybe he has something other then that going on or having a severe allergic reaction to one of the ingredients. Good luck to him !

Hello thank you so much for your reply.I am glad to hear that it is working for you, but for us I think (well I know) that he will just stick to his inhaler from now on.Yes he always rinsed his mouth after use but to no avail it was all the same.We read on here nothing but bad things about Advair and at first we thought well I thought that my husband was losing his mind about some of the sypmtoms but after I got on here and read what other people experienced and their symptoms I had alot of apologizing to do LOL. I even noticed for myself the change in his attitude he has always been a happy and calm person but while he was on this he turned into someone else completly different Dr.Jekyl & Mr. Hyde I would have to say. We know that for him this was not the right medication and he will never try it again. As far as you and your family I wish you all continued success with this medication and all long happy healthy lives.Thanx for the reply!
