Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Your answer was most helpful.

Because of side-effects (extreme jitteriness and anxiety, G.I. distress, headache, throat irritation, etc) I discontinued treatment about 24 hours ago. I am extremely sensitive to steroids and that was one reason we thought this combination therapy might be better. My breathing did improve, but the other symptoms were severe enough to cause concern. I'm still experiencing anxiety and other side effects.

Now that I'm not taking Dulera, how soon will the residual side effects subside?

Thank you very much.

Brief Answer:
Soon if anxiety caused just by this drug!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This drug is not a steroid and am not exactly sure if this is the medication you refer to when you say you are sensitive to steroids. This drug is more likely to cause anxiety than steroids because it increases the rate of heartbeat.

If this is the sole cause of your anxiety, then you should recover fully within 3-5days. However, there might be other possible symptoms responsible for this other than the drug alone if this fails to happen.

I wish you well and keep me updated as you get over this. Until next, stay healthy.
