Is It True That The Breathing Will Improve By Being Off Advair?

Hi. I have been on Advair for 2o years and decide dto try and ween off of it. I went from 2 puffs a day to one puff for 10 days and now I am off it. I have been off for two days and have been using my albuterol every 3-4 hours. I was told after 3 04 days, my breathing will improve. It is just the withdrawals. Is this true?

Dear Sir,

It cannot be predicted whether your breathing will improve with it or not ,every patient reacts differently so nothing can be said but generally improvement occurs .
