You have to be very, very careful coming off advair (or any other anti-inflammatory/steroid). Advair is a maintenance med for breathing issues like asthma, COPD, and severe bronchitis. If you have asthma or COPD, those issues are not gone even if you feel well...meaning, you probabl still need the advair...it is meant to keep you feeling well/breathing weel. Also, going off something like advair can cause "rebound inflamation"...this is often worse than the inflammation that was present when the advair was prescribed. Again, be very, very careful and do not do this without letting your doctor know.
