Hi: I have had asthma for many years and up until last November it was under good control with Azmacort and Ventolin inhaler. During the last several months the Azmacort stopped working. My pulmonologist prescribed Seravent and Singular; the catch is that I am very afraid of new medications as I sometimes get dizzy and am afraid new meds will make me dizzy or worse. I have read the Seravent can cause paradoxical irreversible bronchospasm and while it doesn't happen to everyone, if it happens to you, you can die from inability to breathe. I am thinking of trying Singular pills, perhaps I will take a half and see what happens- I would like to know your experiences with Singular. I think my asthma is worse lately because of allergies and I have alot of crap in my lungs which is audible when I try to clear my lungs by coughing.
