"I have been using Daliresp for 1 week now. It appears to have improved my breathing, but I have several of the side effects. Now I'm having problems with diarrhea, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. I've got a call into my doctor now to see if the side effects will go away. If they don't, I'll have to go back to Advair."

"I've been on Daliresp for 2 weeks now. I've had back-to-back flare-ups for the last year. The last one put me in bed for 16 days. My pulmonologist retired and I went to a new pulmonologist for the first time. He described Daliresp as a miracle drug for COPD. He started me on it. I've seen improvement in 14 days. The only side effect I've had is nausea and a slight headache in the morning. I started taking it at bedtime and the nausea stopped. A couple of Tylenol stops the headache in the morning. I can already see improvement in my breathing. God sent me a miracle! I really thought during this last flare-up I was going to die. I could stand to lose some weight. I am 30 lbs overweight starting out, so I don't foresee being a problem. I go to 500 mg after the first 30 days. I am thrilled about Daliresp."

"Been on Daliresp 500 mcg for about a week. I have to agree with the majority of reviews - this med will give you stomach pain, but if it keeps me from having an exacerbation of COPD, I'll continue it! For stomach pain, I tried soda crackers and ginger ale, but the only thing that helped is 'Gin Gins,' which are a ginger 'candy' that is great for stomach pain/upset."

"Reading reviews of people starting with 500 mg and getting really sick should talk to their doctor. Mine started me with half the dose of 250 mg for a week, then up to 250 mg for 3 weeks before I went to the 500 mg maintenance dose. Just a few side effects like diarrhea that really isn’t that bad. Just an idea."

"I've been on Daliresp 500 mcg for 3 days. My breathing was clear and good until I took my first dose of this medication. My breathing went plum out and had to put oxygen on. Inhalers and nebulizer treatments weren't helping. Ended up in the ER. The ER doctor ran lots of tests because of my COPD, and he told me to stop the Daliresp. I was having an allergic reaction to it and to see my lung doctor ASAP."

"I have severe COPD. I cannot walk around. I was coughing up lungers daily, but for the last 2 years with this, I have had maybe 2 or 3 times. Life saver."

"I started taking Daliresp in July 2016. I have to quit taking it. I’ve lost 30 lbs. in 1 1/2 years. Also, I haven’t noticed any change in my breathing. Daliresp just didn’t work for me. Now that I quit taking it, my appetite is back and I’m sleeping better. I wish I had quit it sooner."
