I really don't know if Advair (or leaving Advair) is causing my symptoms. I was on Advair for 2 years (on and off for allergic asthma) and the only side effect that I had was weight gain. I started to get slight rash on my face that wouldn't go away in Sept. 04 so I stopped taking the Advair sometime around the end of the month. The second week of October I was very stressed for several days and ended up getting a fungal infection of the mouth. The doc gave me antibiotics and it cleared up. I got another mouth fungal infection on November 9 and it hasn't cleared up yet. Could this possibly still be from Advair use? I am very worried and don't know where else to look.

I was diagnosed with adult allergic asthma one year ago at 38 years old. I started having problems breathing ONLY AT NIGHT on occasion and palpitations. Had a physical and ekg, totally normal. Went to allergist and they said I have alot of allergies and diagnosed me with the asthma. Funny thing, weeks before I niked 20 miles, hiked 12 miles, canoed 3 miles, played golf in a 3 day span and no problems. Since they told me this and started me on advair I haven't been able to jog more than 2 miles or bike more than 8 to 10.
Its very strange indeed, I have gotten more paranoid feelings when just get a little out of breath, and sometimes cant keep still in a car or sitting down.
I cut back on sugar, sodium and started exercising a little every day, only 15 minutes. But came down with a cold recently and back to square one. I am trying to take the advair only ONCE a day instead of twice and almost feel withdrawal symptoms like shakiness, paranoia, irritability. Does anyone have any idea about this? I am really confused! Thanks... J
