Symbicort Long Term Use

I have had asthma starting at 41 and I am now just turning 67. I have been on Sybicort for like 6-7 years at one puff of 80/4.5.
It seems to have turned on me and everytime I use it I have extreme anxiety to where I cannot sleep or even sit still. I can’t live like this it’s unbearable. Does anyone have a recommendation for inhalers that don’t cause anxiety? Thanks, John

  1. Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that after 6+ years, Symbicort is causing you extreme anxiety. How long have you been experiencing this new side effect? Have you had a chance to check in with your doctor? Let us know what your doctor has to say. Best of luck, Lauren (team member)
