Hi Jean,   This was an interesting question and case study you present. Perhaps one of the doctor experts here will chime in, but I did do a little research on this. The Accolate (not Accolade) prescribing materials do not specify any withdrawal symptoms for stopping Accolate. But, as with any asthma medicine, a sudden stopping or reduction of the dose could have adverse effects simply from loss of asthma control.   However, you seem to be having the opposite effect, which is intriguing, as your asthma seems to be getting better when off the Accolate. Your comment about Accolate and Churg Strauss syndrome got me researching too. I found an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that indicated there is some suspicion of Accolate causing Churg Strauss syndrome in some people, but that has not been definitely proved at this point.   So I don't really have any answers for you, but I would encourage you strongly to bring these questions to your own doctor. And if you can't get answers, then you have the right to seek a second opinion. You owe it to yourself to advocate for your own good health.   Good luck! Kathi
