I have been on Pulmicort for about 8 months. I am going off it so far 1 day. Any problem just stopping abruptly. The reason for the stop, I recently had a number of infections and i think my immune system is off.

You should know that going off of any asthma medication, especially steroid inhalors can cause an increase in your asthma, which could be dangerous!

You could be right about the problems you are having - but please just check with your Dr. first.

It's always helpful when someone else has been there before to share experiences or knows someone else who has! I'm glad that you found the link helpful as well.
