Tobramycin Inhalation

I'm on the 28 days on 28 days off "Toby" and inhale once a day . (Twice a day was too much for me.) I use a numbing throat spray to make the inhale sessions tolerable. The spasm coughing associated with the treatment is bad. Are others experiencing this also? Any treatments other than Toby?

I could not tolerate tobramycin because it caused my lungs to spasm. It is also possible to nebulise ceftazidime, colamycin or meropenem. You might tolerate one of these better.
