For COPD "I've been on Daliresp for five days. Sick to my tummy and diarrhea is really bad. Tremors and headache. But going to give it a month or two and see if side effects go away. I take Imodium for poops and a nausea pill. It helps."

For COPD "I started Daliresp 6 weeks ago when I had my first bronchitis inflammation. Still have the wheezing but am breathing better, using the 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 flare-ups, so I'll stick with it. Do not wish to stay in the hospital again."

For COPD "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."

For COPD "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."

For COPD, Maintenance "Started taking Daliresp 3 months ago. Noticed improvement in breathing in 1st week. Then started having nausea and loss of appetite. I also started having other reactions, insomnia, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bad thoughts about death. Over the last 2 months, it's gotten worse. I didn't know it could be the Daliresp. This morning I woke up at 1 am, couldn't go back to sleep because of thoughts of dying. It's 2 pm, I'm still awake (I can't sleep during the day). Got so bad I went to the ER today. The doctor told me to stop the Daliresp. OK! I never had mental health issues before. I don't have any clue how long it will take to recover from the mental health issues I'm having."

For COPD, Maintenance "Same as previous comment. Made me sick to my stomach, serious diarrhea. Only took for 4 days and felt terrible, like I had the flu. It did help the breathing, but not enough to put up with the side effects."

For COPD, Maintenance "Love what this does to improve my breathing, but the diarrhea just won't go away, and that is the worst side effect for me. I tried taking it in the morning and got headaches and felt nauseous, as well as having the diarrhea, so I took it at night, but the diarrhea has persisted. If I can't take something to counter this side effect, I will stop taking it, as I can't go anywhere with the diarrhea."

For COPD "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."

For COPD "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."

For COPD "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."

For COPD, Maintenance "I just started taking Daliresp again 10-23-16. The only problem that I have is I can't sleep. I can't go to sleep or stay asleep. And when I do go to sleep, it's only for a few hours. Then I am awake again. I take it before and stop taking it because I could sleep. I really don't know at this time if it works or not. Haven't been on it long enough to know. That's one of the side effects. So what can you do to stay asleep?"

For COPD, Maintenance "I have COPD with mild bronchitis. I got the flu pretty bad this past flu season with lots of congestion and wheezing. Once the flu was gone, my doctor suggested Daliresp 500 mcg to prevent future flare-ups. That was on a Monday, 5 days ago. I took my 1st dose on Monday night. Tuesday morning, I woke up feeling very tired. I took the 2nd dose Tuesday night. Woke up Wednesday feeling worse... a flu-ish feeling with exhaustion, body aches, and diarrhea. For some reason, I gave it another chance Wednesday night, and when I woke up Thursday morning, forget it. I was so sick -- almost felt like I was poisoned. Could barely get up. No strength, no appetite, body aches, lightheaded. So I did not take it Thursday night. It is now Friday night (48 hours since my last dose), and I still feel very sick. I read that it can take around 4 days for Daliresp to leave your body. I'm hoping for a quick recovery. Needless to say, Daliresp is not for me."

For COPD, Maintenance "It hasn't helped my severe COPD and acute exacerbations. My doctor gave me samples to try, but so far, nothing. I will continue to take until all is gone, then I have to call the doctor about the results. I have extreme sweating and was sick to my stomach the first week, but now it's just every so often."

For COPD, Maintenance "Use Daliresp and have no difference in breathing. I do have side effects of insomnia, severe stomach pain, and having bowel movements every time I go to the bathroom, whether that's what I went in there for or not. Been on it a couple of weeks and took my last dose this morning. It's bad."

For COPD "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."
