Well, the only thing I've really noticed is that I get the shakes after I take it. I wasn't sure at first if it was the Symbicort or just my tremors. I was noticing it in the morning so I thought it could be the tremors. To make sure I started taking two doses before bed and none in the mornings, and sure enough I got the shakes really bad. I can counteract the SE by taking my beta blocker for the tremors, but that makes me REALLY hot :blob_fire , so I don't want to take it unless I really have to.

I wanted to see if anyone else experienced the shakes on Symbicort. That's one of my problems with Ventolin, too; add to that nausea and headache and they're the reasons why I use Atrovent instead of Ventolin. The doctor I work for gave me the Symbicort so I wouldn't have to use Atrovent so often.

Thanks for your response! :wave:

Oh no :eek: ! That sucks. I actually haven't been using it regularly ( :nono: bad girl). I still have to ask if it's okay to just take it at night, too.

Another doctor I work for said that his patients really like Symbicort...maybe they don't notice the side effects.

What about Advair? Have any of you tried that? I didn't have much luck with Flovent (kept forgetting to take it :p ) and that is the only other controller I've tried. I really like Atrovent though :D ! Only problem is it's not a controller.
