has anyone had hallucinations while on these asthma inhalers, I have had this happen 2x in 2 weeks, I was on prednisole for 3 weeks and for teh first time in my life I had a strange hallucination, i thought it was teh prednisole, so i stopped it, but all the sudden today I was washing dishes and I heard a voice in my head, then I panicked and started crying, and my husband calmed me down,this has NEVER ever happened before I started taking
prednisole,albuterol,advair, am I losing my mind, i found info online that says that albuterol can cause hallucinations and I was very shocked, I am so worried never have I heard voices in my head like this, any advice let me know please since I have been using albuterol more than usual because our house had mold, and there is still some in teh air ducts which we didnt know about and are getting changed, the guy did half the work and has not come back to finish it,I am so scared I also read mold causes hallucinations? my goodness I need advice please.

Well, you could be taking too much albuterol due to the mold - which personally makes me more jumpy and anxious. However, mold has a similar effect on me - and the combination of the two is terrible with me. With me, though, it takes a lot of albuterol to get me to that point now since I've been on albuterol inhalers for the last 20+ years. Actually, I would recommend that you get someone there to finish fixing the ducts ASAP - in the long run it will be worth it even if it costs more even to do have someone else do it. Then you could consult with your doctor and hopefully cut down on some of your meds, which would help a lot, too.

I am not a doctor - just someone with nearly life-long asthma - who is also extremely sensitive to mold (I am the mold meter for my parents' house which sometimes has problems in the basement - when I visit their house - I tell them when it's getting bad - and then they try to do something about it.)
