For myself, I had a bad withdrawal agter prednisone was discontinued. I was on 4 other meds at that time. 3.5 years of Symbicort contributed to a serious fungal infection I have now that one Dr wants to remove my RUL. I have stopped the symbicort, symptoms are slowly getting better and I switch Dr.s

For ACTS, we do not want to use bromides (Tiotropium or Ipratropium), long-acting bronchodilators, rescue doses, or steroids:
✔️ Bromides, steroids or any immune suppression encourages infections and makes sputum thicker and less mobile. If someone posts about frustration with ACTs, my first suspicion is ongoing bromide or steroid use in any form.
