Symbicort side effects

Anyone with hair loss since they started Symbicort?

been on symbicort since around April ,im 14 normal teenage girl with severe asthma. we've been noticing since ive been taking symbicort im having mood swings, depression, anxiety and a lot of weight gain. im now been taken off this and feel great never taking it again.

Severe breathing problems during the night. Had dreams while I was half awake. Insomnia. Blood oxygenation went down. Numbness in face since taking med six months ago.

On October 18, 2007 I started taking Symbicort. It worked GREAT!! As far as breathing better. About a week later I noticed upper back pain, dizziness, and nausea. I continued to take this inhaler. Then on November 5, 2007 I was rushed to the emergency room with a collapsed lung. (Spontaneous Pneumothorax) Still even after surgery I continued to use this inhaler until June 2008. When I finally thought may be it was this inhaler. I don't know to this day. I still feel strange from time to time. At the time of surgery I was only 35 years old.

I was using Advair, but kept getting sick. My doctor gave me a script for Symbicort, the 160/4.5. Worked awesome.......till the migraines started. Quit using it for a week, no headaches. Started using it again on Monday and bam headaches are back. Told my doctor, he said, that not a normal side affect. What's next?

I HAD BEEN ONLY TAKING SYMBICORT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND MY FACE SWELLED UP LOOKING ALMOST LIKE A SUMU WRESTLER , OR A BLOW FISH. IT WAS AWFUL SEVERAL DAYS AFTER I QUIT TAKING IT I WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AS MUCH AS THIS MEDICINE COST THEY SHOULD OFFER A REIMBURSEMENT FOR SIDE -EFFECT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $180 INHALER THAT I CANNOT USE. VERY UPSETTING.

My nine-year-old daughter has headaches every 2 days on Symbicort. But with Flovent and other things we have tried, she has ended up taking 3 courses of prednisone over the winter.

Any other ideas? We are about to let the doctor know about the headaches. I don't know if it's worth it to continue on the Symbicort.

Maybe back to Flovent. We are hesitant to try Singulair or Advair, have already tried Pulmicort.

I started taking Symbicort 4 weeks ago. I'm an active person, eat well and I'm in good shape. I caught a cold a week after taking symibort. It seems that as my cold got better, I didn't feel like I could breathe any easier. Since I starte taking it, I've been real fatigued. I wake up very tired and I'm sleepy all day. I stopped taking it yesterday. I fell better today. I went back on Advair until I can see the Doctor to try another medicane.
