I started taking advair 250 because of coughing and some wheezing at night. It stopped the coughing and improved seasonal allergies, initially. Could not get into a deep sleep. Advair caused me to have an incredibly dry mouth. It lowered my immune system. I rarely get sick. I was sick constantly, I would just get better and would get sick again immediately. I finally put it together and weaned myself off advair. It was not easy, the coughing was worse than before. That improved after... View full comment

55 year old male, married 32 years and who could not get himself to consistently excercise and when the economy collapsed - it was a great excuse not to work out because i need to work. Problem was that i was not really working - just showing up to work. As the economy was in the tank and my business suffering horrible financial losses, I knew my life and my physical and mental health were all out of balance and fragile. Who wouldn't with everything collapsing around me, a natural conclus... View full comment

I have had simular issues. I first started taking chantix Oct 29, 2008. I had terrible abdominal pain and severe nausea. So, I convinced myself to continue taking the drug because I thought nausea and abdominal pain was better than continuing to smoke. Boy was I wrong. I quit smoking on Nov 15, 2008 AND quit taking chantix 3 days later. I knew I had to because chantix was making me very ill. Shortly after stopping, I had terrible gas, a very sensitive and nausea stomach 24/7. Unusual weight l... View full comment
