Raoul Posts: 3306 VIP Member	HI Lemere Welcome to the group. I take prednisone right now for a flare up. Also take albuterol, and asmanex. And in the nebulizer I take pulmicort, albuterol and atrovent. I do not like advair - it makes my symptoms escalate. hugs I am not a doctor - and my advice is purely from my personal experience and my opinion!! Previous discussions I participated in: anxiety New to group 10mg Paroxetine (Paxil) side effects?
