Hi Victoria, don't worry, things will get better for you, but it may take a while for you to get the asthma under control. I have adult onset asthma as well, brought on by kind of uncontrolled allergies. I thought the coughing was probably from pnd, but was eventually diagnosed with asthma. I was taking advair, singulair, maxair, clarinex & nasacort & felt seriously overmedicated. Eventually I started allergy shots & after time was able to stop or reduce some meds. This is a really bad allergy year where I live, so I have had to add some stuff back in, but I hope to reduce again later on. One important things is not to stop the meds just because you're feeling better. Most of the meds are meant to stop you from having asthma attacks, so you have to take them every day as prescribed. Once things have been under control for awhile (3-6 months or so) you may be able to work with your drs to gradually reduce the dose. You may even be lucky enough to go off most of the meds, it hasn't worked for me, but both of my sisters have been able to do it.
