Wow - thank you all for your comments - you've certainly opened my eyes - I've been on Advair 250 for 5 months and I've been working out like crazy and my belly is as fat as ever. I too am an insomniac, and have been taking Ambien now and can't sleep without it. My skin is unimaginably dry and I can't concentrate at work - this all makes sense now - I'm going to talk to my doctor on MOnday. I was hospitalized for severe asthma months ago ... but there has got to be another way. Thank you allllll for your sharing your experiences -
