Roflumilast 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."

Roflumilast 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 "When I first started using roflumilast, I suffered from brain fog, anxiety, nausea, and a rise in heart rate. I wasn't having a problem with breathing, but I did have frequent flare-ups. I took 250 mg for 8 days, was told by my doctor to stop it, but continued to day 13. I had no flare-ups, but the side effects finally beat me down, so I stopped. However, I started again 4 days later, but the side effects came even harder, though I had no flare-ups. It's great in controlling flare-ups, but the side effects just get to be nagging."
