I have just been started on Advair as of today and now I am concerned.
I have been ill for a month with a upper respiratory bug and my doctor is trying to help ease the breathlessness I have been experiencing with it.
But, after reading all these posts of the side effects, I wonder if there are alternatives I should ask my doctor about?
I don't need the weight gain, dealing with that thanks to Cymbalta (which I am off of now) and the other symptoms don't sound fun either.
The only thing I am having from today is a dry mouth and sore throat.
I say, that's enough!

I would assume you would only need to be on Advair for a month or so. Eventhough I had negative results with my asthma as it made it worse (after 9 months of use) but not side effects I would think you should be OK for a short period. There are thousands of people here who have had bad results, myself included, but for most people who take it the results are good with no or only minor problems. On the other hand if your doctor expects you to be on it for a long period of time I would consider trying something else.
