advair and spiriva good or bad?

by Talon23, Oct 18, 2008 01:56PM
I have been taking advair 500/50 and spiriva 18mg for over a year now in combination with each other.  When I get a chest infection, guess what?  can't breathe.  When I do not have a cold I can breathe just fine.  I recently had a full physical with my family doctor and just about died when I hit the scales.  He is telling me that as long as I am taking steriods (prednisone included at times) I will have weight problems.  I have managed 44 years of no daily schedule for breathing aids, and am at day 3 now without the above meds.  I am tired but overall it feels like my body is itself again.  How good can regularly taken medication be for you that inhibits the natural production of adrenalin ands slows down the metabolic rate yet can wire you for sound at the same time.  What if any side effects can I expect from quitting these meds so quickly
