Symbicort

[gremlin1]

Has anyone noticed when daily dosing with symbicort in the am and the pm, if anyone experienced any numbness, tingling or weakness in their leg(s) or feet. It has happened to me and I'm not sure if it is because of the drug or something else. If you look up possible side effects of symbicort, it often comes up in the list. Anyway, I decided to go back on Breo which is one puff once a day to see if I notice a difference. Thank you.

I have sever COPD and sever ASTHMA so I se Spiriva and Symbicort. There are 2 strains of Symbicort mine is the 80 . To me it works great I dont mind the tingling in my legs in the am tells me it's working. Twice a day is ok for me to as long as it works well and it does. I feel great because of it. Last time I talked to my doctor I told him please dont take me off the Symbicort as I feel great.

I take two puffs of Symbicort in the morning which gets me through the day. Occasionally, if it's a bad day and can't breathe well, I will take one puff at night. So far the morning two puffs get me through but it's tiring since I have to do a lot of walking and need to stop at times to get my breath. COPD is not fun.

Symbicort is mainly for ASTHMA, if you have COPD you need something else. I have sever COPD and sever ASTHMA and my doctor has me on Spiriva for my COPD and Symbicort for my ASTHMA it works well have no effects and have my energy back with no heavy breathing.

Good luck and God Bless

Hello

I have sever COPD and sever ASTHMA and the inhalers I use is Spiriva and Symbicort but my dosage on the Symbicort is a low dosage 80 I think. I have no effect except great relief of my illness. I think the 2 inhalers are great I told my doctor please dont change my inhalers there working. I use to use Albuteral for emergency and the doctor said I was using it to much but since he changed me to the Spiriva and Symbicort I haven't used the Albuteral at all and he said that was great.

Good luck and God Bless
