Advair Diskus and depression

I am very happy I found this website. I used Advair since August 2007. About a month in I was a bit moody and would loose my temper, but at Thanksgiving I went to Bali for a holiday and fell into an awful depression. I had no idea what was wrong but cried and was very irritable. Also thought everyone didn't like me and they were all mad at me. Paranoia I guess. I saw my GP when I came home and she gave me Lexapro, then Wellbutrin. I couldnt sleep, eat, sobbed all the time and never wanted to leave the house. I looked up Advair and saw a lot of others who had went into a depression on it. I have been off a week and I can only say that it has gotten so much better. I came off all the meds and I am eating normally, sleeping a lot better and the sobbing has stopped. I really think that the Advair was the factor. Hope this helps anyone who feels/felt like that.

I am 49 years old and have suffered from asthma since I turned 21. I started taking Advair 100/50 in 2000 and have not had an episode since. I have also gained about 50 pounds, lost whatever sleep pattern I had. I find I am pretty emotional but am not sure it can attributed to Advair. I do experience tingling in my hands (pinky and ringfinger only) and am given to bouts of depression and the blues. Last November I tried to switch to Singulair but since I already was developing a cold/congestion it was very ill timed. Had to switch back to Advair after 3 weeks and take some prednisone for a week.
What have you all replaced Advair with when you stopped taking it? I'd really like to know what the alternatives are. Thank you!
