Clenil inhaler: headaches, restless legs, insomnia, hunger.

Post covid I have a chronic mucus cough so my GP has switched me to Clenil from Flixotide. Having never previously had any side effects from Flixotide, I now have headaches, restless legs, insomnia and hunger from the Clenil. Thoughts?

I actually went onto Flixotide from Clenil, as it was giving me asthma, thought allergy. Are you sure all your other problems are from Clenil? I think I'd want to talk to GP or someone in the know. Good luck.🤞

Yes - definitely Clenil related - started as soon as I started it!

So you’re better on Flixotide?

I agree with @fraid - are you sure the side effects are all Clenil-related? There are lots of things that can cause these symptoms - e.g. I'm plagued with them since peri-menopause kicked in!

My menopause is controlled - this is definitely Clenil related as started with starting the medication.
