For Asthma, Maintenance "Have been on this for 6 weeks and have to discontinue due to severe insomnia, heart pounding, and chest pain. Very effectively reduced my need for albuterol (went from using it daily down to once or twice a week), but the side effects are bad."

For Asthma "Dulera works great, and I have noticed it has improved my breathing by 100%. It seems to work better than my rescue inhaler. The downside of it is that I have gotten infections in the tonsils and sinusitis. Also, I've been having blood clots in my mucus, and when I cough, I notice it's a dark brown reddish color. Frequent migraines and insomnia some nights. Feeling of unconsciousness when laying down."

For Asthma "I tried Dulera for a week and did not like it. I was diagnosed with mild asthma at age 30 but probably had it most of my life-just assumed everyone felt like they couldn't breathe sometimes. :) Doctor prescribed the 100 mcg dose, two puffs in the morning and two in the evening. I did that the first day, and that night, I felt very agitated, couldn't sleep, felt depressed, and had depressing thoughts. I struggled a bit with depression as a teen, but I hadn't felt that way in 5-10 years before taking Dulera. I cut down to 1 puff in the morning and felt much better on days 2-5, but by day 6, I was starting to feel depressed again. Stopped the Dulera and feeling back to normal like myself. Maybe I am more prone to these side effects because I've had a history of depression, but these were very scary side effects. I also felt like I was losing my voice by day 6. To be fair, it did reduce my nighttime coughing... but not worth the side effects for my mild asthma."

For Asthma "Took Dulera for a year for pretty bad asthma, which it controlled very nicely. After one year, the Dulera started giving me awful palpitations, severe pounding pulse, shakiness, and insomnia. I had to give it up. I feel better now after 3 weeks without it, but still cannot find a good replacement."
