[quote=Anonymous]OP- my son is 6 and was diagnosed with asthma at age 2. Our first preventative med was Qvar (started at age 3) and he was exactly as you are describing your child. Went from an easy going, happy, care free kid to an absolute terror overnight. Super emotional, very agitated, angry, irrational. We took him off Qvar (and all meds except for rescue Albuterol as needed) for one year. He managed fine but once he started Kindergarten he started having a lot more asthma flair ups (virus, exercise, allergy induced). We recently started seeing a pediatric pulmonologist (we too used to just see a pediatric allergist) who prescribed Asmanex. We just started him on that last week...and unfortunately we are seeing similar side effects. Feeling very discouraged right now because I know he needs the meds, but the behavior change is just horrible and I feel so bad for him! No advice for you but total commiseration. I'll let you know if we find a corticosteroid that doesn't have the negative behavioral side effects! [/quote]
