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.

Hi and Welcome to HealingWell, BOBBYBOY! tongue
 
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. yeah
 
Hugs, Teri tongue

Thank you for your input as well here, Lyn!! tongue   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.
 
Hope you are feeling a bit better??
