"I started Daliresp 6 weeks ago when I had my first bronchitis inflammation. Still have the wheezing but am breathing better, using nebulizer less often, still on 5 mg. prednisone. Bowel issues are my main concern, chug pepto bismol to no avail and did vomit once. This drug is supposed to reduce bronchial flareups so I'll stick with it. Do not wish to stay in the hospital again."

"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" which is great for stomach pain/upset."

"I've been on Daliresp for 2 weeks now. I've had back to back Flare-up for the last year. The last one put me in the bed for 16 days. My Pulmonarist retired and I went to a new Pulmonarist for the 1st 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 loss some weight. I am 30 lbs over weight starting out so I don't forsee being a problem. I go to 500mg after the 1st 30 days. I am thrilled about Daliresp."

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

"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."
