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 took one puff a day of Advair HFA and I thought it was working well but I did have problems sleeping that I noticed after a couple of weeks. I would fall asleep because I was usually tired but I would wake up around 3:00 AM and not be able to fall back to sleep. I felt that my mind was racing. That was last week. This week I will go without Advair and compare my weeks.
