Advair HFA and clue

I am a 47 year old female that has had asthma all of my life. I was wanting to stop taking Advair and looked up this website, boy am I glad I did. I have all of these side effects. I have been taking Advair 500/50 twice daily for 7 yrs. I have all of the side affects and more. I have experienced hair lose, depression ( I also take Wellburtin XL) since I have started the Advair, I have pain in my legs that make me feel older than I am. I have gain 40 lbs in the past 7 yrs. I now wear reading glasses because my vision is blurry. People always say my face looks rounder. I hate the drug. My doctor said the none of the side effects are caused for the Advair. As of yesterday I stopped taking the Advair. I have cut down my does slowly for the past 2 months. Can someone who has stopped the Adavir tell me what to expect now that I have stopped. Advair is a crazy drug and I refuse to keep taking it.

I have been taking advair for under a month now. I was diagnosed with cardiocondritis, (I am also asthmatic) and was prescribed prednisone for the chest pain. I did the run of prednisone, ( nasty little pills) and my chest pain eased a little. I started taking prevacid and advair at the same time and now I have this lingering pain right behind my nipple. I stopped using the advair and it's gotten alittle better, but it's still there. Has anyone gone through this? I'm 26 and I don't want to be medicated forever so any help you could give would be great cause my doctor doesn't have a clue. Another thing is I'm not even sure I have asthma, I was never tested for it and have never even had an attack. I used to smoke so I attributed my wheezing to that. Please help

Please remove the ignorant comment from the July 11th entry. People like that should not be kept on this site, she has no clue that the issues that are being discussed are actually true side effects that are now being written in medical journals. She should keep her opinions to herself.
