Long Term Symbicort Use
I am new here. I have had asthma for like 25 years. I have been on.Symbicort for like seven years at one puff a day of 80/4.5. It seems to have turned on me Formoterol? Every time I use it, I can’t sit still or sleep. It’s unbearable. Does anybody have a recommendation for inhalers that don’t cause anxiety?
Thanks,
John
Hi there! Welcome to the community! We are so happy that you have joined us. We hope that you find this a safe place to ask questions and learn! Why did your doctor switch you to Formoterol if Symbicort was working so well? Are you able to check with your doctor and request the Symbicort? -Lauren (Team member) I was on symbicort for a while. One dose could be too much for you. I am now on breztri. It is divided into two times a day at two puffs each, so if it is too much, you can cut the dosage down.
Hi Ken, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad that Breztri works well for you. How long have you been using it? -Lauren (team member)
Thank you both Ken and Lauren!
