 I'm taking pulmicort, serevent and singulair as preventative. Adding singulair has helped alot with getting my asthma back under control.

 Hi, I take singulair for asthma/allergies and allegra for allergies. I have an albuterol inhaler for flare ups, but things have been pretty good as far as asthma goes so I haven't been needing it recently. I think that is more because of avoiding triggers than anything, though I do find the singulair helpful.

 i used to take singular but stopped recently. I saw that a side effect was depression which can be a problem for me. My doctor said singular is a miracle for some ppl. and just ok for others. it was just ok for me so i stopped taking it. now i take:

Advair 500

Flovent

Pulmicort

Allegra

Nasonex

Prilosec

Trazadone

IS ANYONE ELSE WORRIED ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS FROM TAKING TO MUCH MEDICINE?

what's sad is that after taking all these medicines (and others) i am still very sick.

 I am probably naive as my son has only just been diagnosed at 2 yrs old but why so many different meds at the same time?

I would be concerned about side effects as well.
