Levalbuterol for Asthma "I love this kind of Xopenex, it's great, works for me. No side effects cause tremor, shaking, nervousness, heart racing, etc. That's much better than albuterol. Keep this for a great for people suffering from asthma! Stars 10!"

Levalbuterol for Asthma, Maintenance "I was on Xopenex for about a year, and it made me crazy. I have never experienced this with any other asthma drug. By crazy, I mean more anxious and scared than I have ever felt in my life, really unbearable. It took a long time to figure out that it was the drug. It worked fine against asthmatic episodes, but I can't recommend it."

For Asthma "I use Xopenex and like it much better than the only time I tried albuterol. Xopenex doesn’t make me jittery or feel weird, and lately, one inhalation does the trick when I get a continuing cough or wheeze."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I tried this because I was tired of getting bad anxiety and tremors from regular albuterol. It didn’t make my heart race, but it didn’t work as reliably, which was quite scary. Basically, paid twice as much for something that worked half the time."
