After a long time with asthma I have been doing better these last few months my doctor asked if I wanted to stop medication and only have a emergency inhaler. When should I stop it?

      Hi just read your post that's really good that your Asthma is well controlled but I wouldn't recommend stopping because the reason it's so stable is because of the medication what strength is yours mine is 200 of clenil modulite 2 puffs in morning and night. Take care šŸ¤—

      If your medication comes in a lower dose, Iā€™d suggest going down to that first just for a bit and seeing how your lungs react, considering the type of problem asthma is. Unfortunately, asthma doesnā€™t necessarily go away for good, but it does go into remission where just an emergency inhaler is fine. Depending on your asthma triggers, itā€™s possible to avoid flare-ups once it goes into remission, but thatā€™s dependent on controlling your exposure to them. I know someone whose asthma has been fine for 20+ years because of that. Regardless, Iā€™m happy your asthma has been better! I think itā€™s worth a shot to see how stopping the medication works out. But I do think it would be good to hold on to what you have left for a little while in case you need to go back on it suddenly.
