Re: dependence NOT ALWAYS addiction-- different/Melody

[Guest guest]

Melody,

You didn't miss any posts...lol....

I had initially been on advair, first the slightest dosage then the

max. Unfornately, it did not have the desired effects my doc was

looking for with me so I was switched to asmanex and had been on that

until recently, when I got the COPD tag too and they switched me to

symbicort to take at night.

I'm worse when I have a bronchitis flare; hopefully the shot I got

last night and the new stuff for my nebulizer will help. We've been

having ultra weird weather here in Georgia which I'm sure is NOT

helping my case!

I am glad that your DH is having success with it. I'll just keep

being patient; they'll come out with something else.....

(((Hugs)))
