Insomnia...from Advair

I usually sleep great due to lexapro, but after being on advair 250/50 for just a few days, I can hardly sleep ! I am exhausted but it is so hard to fall asleep. This is getting rediculous, but the advair is helping my asthma a lot and I hate to quit it. Any suggestions?

Hello, Adelyn! How are you?

One of the active ingredients in it is a steroid, so it can cause insomnia, but it should wear off in a few weeks, once your body adjusts to the medication.

If it doesn't, you'll need to consult the prescribing physician. You may also experience an oral yeast infection as a side effect.

Is there anything else I can help with?
