For COPD "I was forced to switch from Spiriva capsule to Spiriva Respimat, which I was doing very well on, with few side effects. Spiriva Respimat caused severe dizziness, anxiety, and breathing problems. Then I was forced to try Incruse Ellipta, and this one is even worse. Congestion, severe breathing problems, and extreme fatigue. I have gone from being active to spending most of my time in bed. I don't know what to do."

For COPD "Horrible muscle and joint pain, severe anxiety interfering even with my ability to do job interviews, severe stomach pain, which took me to the ER = gastritis. Do now I have a choice - use Incruse with my Breo so I can breathe and work along with medications to counteract side effects, example: atenolol for blood pressure and anxiety control, and Tylenol #3 for severe pain levels and muscle tightness, as well as Pepcid AC 20 mg twice daily and Carafate between the Pepcid for severe abdominal pain... or I can just quit Incruse and stay home, sit in a chair, not being able to breathe."

For COPD "First couple days was excellent, then all of a sudden I couldn’t breathe well, using my rescue inhaler 3-4 times a day, nonstop coughing, lots of wheezing, anxiety. Seen my doctor, he switched me to Breo, but I’m scared of trying it after reading the reviews on that. Since getting COVID 7 months ago, I’ve been on many different inhalers for the first time in my life for my lungs, and none seem to work."

For COPD "Horrible medicine. Was doing good on Spiriva (sample inhalers), then of course insurance doesn't cover it, so I was put on Incruse. This medicine is horrible. Sore throat, sinus pain, headache. Followed by horrible muscle pain/cramps in my legs and arms, and 'flickering' in my peripheral vision. This medicine also made me feel funny, like a jittery feeling, muscles fluttering in my ribcage. It's awful, absolutely awful. I would highly recommend NOT taking it."
