I have had symbicort for years Bobby but have never noticed side effects. Inhaled steroids are far, far milder than oral steroids.

Here is a link to NHS website which details some side effects that may happen:-

I have been on Symbicort for about five years now and about a year ago I noticed I was getting fidgety. I mentioned it to my consultant, but he passed no comment. Has anyone else experienced this?

Merry Christmas Bobbyfloyd!

Stay well, Tamara

I got restless legs,cramps (day and night) sore throat, horse voice and a general jumpy feeling after only a couple of months on symbicort. I changed inhaler and the symptoms vanished.

I got all your symptoms when I was on Seritide so changed to Symbicort. You can't win!

Merry Christmas,

Tamara
