Know how you feel. Seretide 250 evidently not working fro ages, pleas for something else fell on deaf ears for something like a year. Last week I jumped up and down and argued with GP. Given months worth of Zafirlukast. Done sod all for the asthma, PF remained at 300. Im weepy in the morning and losing interest in everything I usually like. Heck, DH offered to buy my dream laptop to cheer me up the other day and all I could come up with as an answer was a half-hearted ""Maybe.."" Grr!!!

You only got it a little while a go though didn't you. It may be that it is building up in your system and the effects will become more. They mormally like to give quite a while for a trial of a new medication. Whenever I have new meds they always say 3 months minimum before making a judgement. Hang in there, it may be what you're looking for, is apparently pretty potent.

Steroid inhalers can take around three weeks to build up properly in your system.

So it may take three weeks before any full improvement.

Preventers aren't always the quick fix like relievers!
