11 days ago i posted that i had been put on Trimbow and asked about how good it was, today i am going back on to my Relvar and GENUAIR. over the week my breathing grew steadily worse ,so back to the old ones , i have posted on e consult to my doc( can't get appointments) email back saying he will phone me on monday.

No point in 'persevering' with the Trimbow, when your breathing was getting worse. Hope you get sorted with something more suitable soon.

Trimbow didn’t suit me either.I hope you soon feel better.

I had to go back to my old inhaler after two days on Trimbow. I feel bad for you as every time you try a new one you kinda think "this will be the miracle I'm looking for" Hope you find something that does suit you soon xx

Yep, been there. We are all looking for that brightly coloured bit of plastic and powder to be that silver bullet only to find it gives us headaches, palpitations or whatever. For those with asthma only the treatments are very effective, mine were. Not so much for COPD has been my experience.

Trimbow didn’t work for me which was disappointing as I had heard such good things mainly. 😉

Hi whit. I had a similar prbelm when I tried Trimbow. My breathing got worse so I'm back on my old familiar - Symbicort, It suits me. We have to take control and let the docs know what best suits us.Go well.

I also had problems with Trimbow, ask your copd nurse or Dr to try an alternative

Same happened to me. Just did not seem strong enough. went back to Spirva and Sirdupla.

I tried trimbow and trelegy, both just made my breathing worse . 😥

I found Trimbow better than my previous Fostair plus Genuair powder but since starting in May, along with oxygen therapy, I have gained a lot of weight. Has anyone else found this or am I just using the oxygen as an excuse not to do much and sitting around eating?
