For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I am with this medication for 2 months at 1600 mg twice a day. I don't feel it helps me, and I have a lot of side effects like headache, hot red flashes on my face, eyes, pain in my legs, arms sometimes, diarrhea, and less appetite. I hope continuing this medicine improves my breath because I'm not okay right now. I'm taking Adcirca and nitric oxide, this is a study."

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I started at 200 mcg on 2/7. Side effects escalated, so by the next titration of 400 mcg, I was in so much pain, it hurt to move, and my jaw pain was ridiculously annoying. I never experienced muscle pain like this before. I told my nurse when he came. I was supposed to go to 600 mcg, but they set me back at 200, which is where I still am. If I didn’t have severe side effects, I’d already be at 1200 mcg. The good part is that I found that I breathe a lot better and had more energy. Even my cough wasn’t as bad. The downside is that I began to have diarrhea, and that sucks. The pain of diarrhea, not being able to eat, absolutely no appetite. What do I do? Imodium isn’t working. I’m stuck in the house. Sorry to say the good doesn’t outweigh the bad, and I’d rather not be on this medicine."

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I fought through the headaches and made it to the top 1600 mcg. I have loose stool and occasionally have jaw pain, it's more of a sour pucker pain. One time a day, 2 days a week. I went from severe to moderate in 1 year. I get around much better now."
