2 Year Old On Advair And Now Has Insomnia! (Top voted first)

Updated

Our 2 yr old has been taking Advair for about a month and wow, things have changed with his sleep! He only sleeps about 6-7 hrs in a 24 hr span and that's only if he's being held and not in his crib! When he wakes up it seems he's having night terrors. Has anyone else had this experience! If you have then advise, please!

Hello, Patty! How is he doing?

These oral steroids can cause insomnia and excitability, which could explain the problems he's having.

Have you talked to his doctor? You may need to adjust the dosage or try him on a different medication.

Verwon, he goes to the asthma dr tomorrow! I just hope the dr doesn't try to talk us into keeping him on the Advair! We will refuse it! Thanks for your input!
