I started out on Advair Discus 500/50 years ago and for some reason just quit working as well as it had so we changed over to Symbicort 160/4.5. It also worked well for a few years but then I started getting bad leg and foot cramps at night and it didn't work as well anymore. Now I take Anoro and 200mcg Asmanex. I'll add more to this later.
What do you guys use?

Had to quit Anoro. Even though the trial results said Anoro was better than Stiolto, (the trial was funded by the makers of Anoro! Go figure!)
I started taking Stiolto, Stopped Anoro, and continued asmanex 200mcg per puff/ 2 puffs twice a day and started breathing better almost immediately.
At first I was afraid that the Stiolto wouldn't last 24 hours till the next time I was supposed to take it but surprisingly my chest stayed open the whole time.
My problem with the Anoro was it seemed to work when I was at rest but my chest would tighten up on exertion and make it harder to breathe.
