For Asthma, Maintenance "It works, but every time I use it, it causes my heart to speed up really fast and my hands to shake. I avoid it, and I won't use it even if I know I should. I've used it between or during classes and had a hard time note taking because my hands would not stay still. Of course, the important thing is being able to breathe..."

For Asthma, acute "I took Proventil for my asthma, but it caused me to experience heart palpitations, headaches, muscle pain in my neck and shoulders, and anxiety. These side effects lasted for several days and began approximately 12 hours after my first puff. It was a horrible and scary experience. I will never take Proventil again."

For Asthma, acute "The worst medicine ever. I feel very bad when I take this medicine. I also get welts and bruise like sores on my back and arms after I inhale this medicine. It appears every time. I don’t feel better at all. This medicine makes me sicker."
