I have been using Foradil for over 2 years. It is by far the best asthma medication I've ever taken. However, I notice a gradual shortness of breath and chest pressure if I miss a dose or it's longer than 12 hrs. since my last inhilation. I'm wondering if it's addictive ! Also, I just read that it shouldn't be taken as the only treatment for asthma. I only have to use my albuterol inhaler on occasion, mostly when I forget to take the Foradil. I'm getting a bit concerned about continuing to use this medication.

Foradil changed my life! One inhaled capsule in the morning, and I'm symptom-free all day. Another one before bed if needed. A lifetime of meds and regimens replaced by these little capsules. I haven't noticed blood sugar or fatigue issues, like some users. I tell everyone I know how wonderful this drug is!

I have taken theophylline pills twice a day for twenty years. I was put on Foradil along with Asthmanex to replace the theophylline and I can't believe the effects. I can breathe better than when I was only taking the theophylline. I was very skeptical about stopping the theophylline "cold turkey". However, I have had no withdrawal symptoms and my breathing is great.

hAVE COPD AND THIS ALONG WITH ATROVENT SEEMED TO RELIEVE MY SYMPTOMS.

This medication, combined with Qvar, works much better for me than the advair I was formerly taking. I dont wake up short of breath like I did while taking advair.

has worked wonders for my ability to breathe.

This medication hasraised my blood sugars to 300 plus and had to stop using it to control my sugars back to normal

I have been taking this med about 1 week and I am so exhausted it is all I can do to stay awake all day. I am a very high energy person, not anymore I am half asleep all day does anyone have a remedity for this problem? Other than that it is great.

easier on my throat than Advair. Still too expensive for a maintenance drug. Has anyone experienced weight gain with this?

Easy to use and to monitor to be sure that I got the full dose. No irritation of the throat. Much less expensive than Advair!

While I experiences relief from asthma symptoms, I experienced tremors and nervousness. I discontinued after three days.

I am taking this med for COPD in leiu of the albuteral treatment by mask. I no longer have to use the albuteral treatments. It along with Spiriva appears to be working for me. Shortness of breath continues to be a problem when exercising. Also, I am experencing some dizziness occassionally.
