• QVA...
• Taken for 1 to 6 months

For Asthma, Maintenance "I did not have a good experience with this inhaler. Within 1 week, I was suffering from severe depression. I suspected it was caused by the inhaler, so I stopped taking it. 1 week later, I was much better. Waited a week and tried to ease into it, taking one puff every other day. Depressed, badly. The frustrating thing was this inhaler worked better than any other I’ve had… Fast forward a few months of no use, I started taking Concerta, was not happy with the quality of my breathing, nothing to do with Concerta, took one puff and almost went off the cliff within 7 hours. This one almost caused issues between me and my wife of 22 years. I could not control what was coming out of my mouth. Extremely depressed, was better the next day while the Concerta was active, the minute it wore off, the depression from Qvar set right back in. This medicine, for me, is absolutely scary. I threw the inhaler in the garbage. For the record, I am not on antidepressants, nor do I require them."
