Posting as a witness to the side effects in my mother who is on the drug. My mother has severe asthma and has tried many different drugs over the last few years to try to control it. Advair is the latest of the bunch. While it works incredibly well to control the asthma her personality is so altered that I wonder if its really a solution. She is high strung and repetative I don't know weither it effects short term memory but its not uncommon for her to repeat the same story three or four times in the space of an hour to me, even the way she talks is frantic and unorganised. To those who would say that it could be something other then advair doing it... While on advair she experianced heart palpatations (another side effect of the drug) so severe she thought she was having a heart attack and went to the emergency. after this experiance she decided to go off the drug. It was amazing I actually had my inteligent articulate relaxed mother back! However the thing about this drug and all steroids really is that once you are on them it is very hard to go off. I think that Advair should only be taken by the people with the most severe asthma and if thats not you... get off before its too late!!!!.
