Flovent Withdrawal -- Anxiety?

I've been on a Flovent schedule of 880mcg to 1760mcg per day for the last three months as prescribed by my doctor. I had a three month supply, and I ran out of medication this past week. Over the last few days, I've had absolutely debilitating anxiety, mood swings, and depression-like symptoms. That's in no way normal for me. Does anyone know if these could be withdrawal symptoms related to high doses of Flovent?

    Flovent has a steriod in it and you could certainly be having a withdrawal from it. Sounds like the symptoms.

    Before taking this medicine

    You should not use Flovent if you are allergic to fluticasone. Do not use the inhalation powder (Arnuity Ellipta or Flovent Diskus) if you are allergic to milk proteins.

    Do not use Flovent to treat an asthma attack that has already begun.

    To make sure Flovent is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

    - any type of infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal);

    - an infection caused by parasites (such as giardia, malaria, leishmaniasis, hookworm, pinworm, toxoplasmosis, and many others);

    - tuberculosis;

    - herpes infection of the eyes;

    - glaucoma or cataracts;

    - liver disease;

    - low bone mineral density; or

    - a weak immune system.

    Long-term use of steroids may lead to bone loss (osteoporosis), especially if you smoke, if you do not exercise, if you do not get enough vitamin D or calcium in your diet, or if you have a family history of osteoporosis. Talk with your doctor about your risk of osteoporosis.

    It is not known whether Flovent will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medicine.

    It is not known whether fluticasone inhalation passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

    Do not give Flovent to a child younger than 4 years old without the advice of a doctor. Fluticasone can affect growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using Flovent.
