Mountain Reader, you were on the exact same regimen I was on. Advair diskus 500/50...singulair and prevacid twice a day.
My new pulmonologist took me off Advair Diskus, put me on ASMANEX...twice a day. And...uh..not singulair...come on brain...I can't remember it. My prevacid quit working and I went to something, then something else, then I went to Nexium, but my formulary changed, so they wouldn't pay for it. I have tried 3 others since then. But I drink a LOT of Mylanta.
I wish you luck....3 pulmonary doctors told me to find another doctor. I pass every test at the lowest end of normal. I don't know. I am on sleep apnea treatment or I couldn't breathe at night.
In fairness to my asthma meds, I am also on heavy doses of morphine for my back pain. Morphine depresses our respiratory systems. Depresses me too.
Good luck with it.........
