"I contracted COVID, and my oxygen dropped at night. I went to the ER because no one will see a positive COVID patient but the ER. I was put on this med. I do have anxiety and a history of PTSD. It was great on day one. Day two, my left eye swelled up and was tearing all day. I felt manic from the moment I woke up, and it lasted until well into the night. I'm going to stop taking it and just deal with my COVID symptoms."

"Even though this medication helps immensely when my breathing/asthma is restricted beyond control, I wish I never had to take it."

"This is my first line of defense when my allergy-induced asthma is out of control. Rescue inhalers have not worked for me; I cannot pull the medicine into my lungs when I am constricted. By day 2 of the Dosepak, I have significant relief and can usually go off routine nebulized bronchodilators within 6 days. Unfortunately, my doctors do not like to prescribe steroids 3-4 times a year as needed, even though I have shown them it works for me."
