Some people love LABAs and claim their asthma symptoms have gone away. But the longer they use them, the more likely they are to report Advair or Symbicort "poop-out" (like "Prozac poop-out") in which the drug stops working and they feel worse than before.
On the drug-rating web site askapatient.com, patients also report feeling "addicted" to the drugs and that their lung capacity is changing. "My lungs feel different than normal, like my lungs are feeling dried out and sticky if that is possible, all at the same time, reports one person about Symbicort. "It seems they are becoming lazy, like now they cannot miss a dose."
"When I sucked it in, it felt like I was collapsing my lungs," says an Advair user in Forbes. The man's doctor told him the drug "couldn't possibly be making him worse," but it was.
Twenty-five patients on Advair Diskus 100/50 also report racing and irregular heart beats, palpitations and the feeling of an imminent heart attack.
