I just wanted to know if anyone has this side effect or maybe just in my head since I been taking dulera daily I noticed I sleep less but more alert maybe due to feeling better or maybe dulera and other similar inhalers give you energy just curious if this happens to u. Take care everyone and enjoy ur summer

For me, I think the asthma meds speed up my nervous system which causes some insomnia. The meds do make some more alert, but it can also cause me to be a bit lightheaded. Everyone is different as to response to the meds, but I think your symptoms are normal. Hope this helps!

They're a steroid inhaler , and yes they jack you up a bit.. dulera has many undesirable effects for me, I guess they all do... I need a steady diet of bee stings again...... that's the best I've ever felt in my life
