I have been taking Pulmicort for quite a few years now and have found that my health has seen a considerable improvement. I no longer have frequent bouts of "minor" illnesses and both my breathing and stamina have improved. I am 68 years old.

I have been taking Zoloft, Neuronton, Seroquel and Rivotril for a few years for treatment of severe anxiety (panic attacks) and they have worked wonders as a combination. recently took Pulmicort for 2 days (2 x 20mg tablets once a day) and feel like I have regressed in terms of capacity to deal with anxiety- is there a likley link between Pulmicort and the onset of Panic Attacks/ increased Anxiety or is it purely a coincidence?
