For Asthma, Maintenance "Inhub dispenser is awkward. Don't feel like I get the same dosage as Advair. Makes me tired, post-nasal drip, and on-and-off cough. Makes me anxious that I'm not getting enough med and fear an attack. Don't want to get sick, especially with Covid-19 about. I'd rather have Advair HFA."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I’ve only been on this inhaler for a week, and I had to stop immediately. It makes me extremely jittery - I feel like I’ve consumed 1000 cokes and coffees. It also gave me muscle spasms in my fingers and made my voice extremely hoarse. That being said, I do feel like my breathing got better, but I cannot deal with the side effects at all. I’ve since switched to another inhaler. Hopefully, that will work out better for me."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Newly diagnosed with allergic asthma; I have no other meds to compare this to. That being said, I can safely say Wixela sucked. I only used it 3 times and quit. I got a strange tight sensation in my forehead after using it, but didn't link it to the med. The 3rd time I used the med, I started to get a burning sensation in my face that wouldn't go away, and I felt woozy and anxious. I woke up the next day with tingling skin and a couple of welts on my legs and ankles. I decided to never take the med again and stick to albuterol until the symptoms went away. I noticed the same sensations would come back every time I used a prescription fluticasone nasal spray, which I used to tolerate before this. I can't really recommend Wixela, even for someone who doesn't have Advair to compare it to. The way you breathe it in makes it hard to tell if you're getting a full dose or not. The powder seems too thick. The only pro is that I didn't use albuterol for those two days."
