Experiences with

Xopenex

She is on 6 hour duonebs, xopenex as needed, prednisone, all her regular inhalers and allergy meds. We want to start Xolair but know it won't really give us short term relief. Our lives are fairly consumed at this point with worry and anxiety, which of course just makes things worse.

Xopenex for a rescue inhaler and a nebulizer as well. Any advice or comments are welcome! Thanks!

Then a rescure inhailer called Xopenex HFA.. Since Mom hasen't been in a hospital since she had me 63 yrs ago, she is doing better than I am! And I am glad too!

My doctor told me to take xopenex (my rescue inhaler) with a spacer every time. I already do most times. Kind of aqward at work if you know what I mean. But I've been taking xopenex a lot the last three weeks, I also have a sinus infection though.

I still take singulair, and some allergy meds, and I've used my xopenex (levabuterol) during a few weeks where I've had a cough, but other than some very mild asthma, I'm very pleased. It is coming up on my major Fall allergy season though, and I've been having a bit more trouble.

I'm in the U.S. so I take xopenex (which is very similar to albuterol). Sometimes when I take 2 puffs of my rescue inhaler, it helps quickly (usually when I'm not sick). But when I take it when I'm sick, sometimes the wheezing gets worse for a while before it gets better.

At the moment I'm taking singulair, a steroid inhaler, and xopenex/atrovent nebs. The problem is I feel fine, and then I miss the nebs, because technically they are ""as needed"" and they speed my heart up, and then I have to take extra heart meds. Grrr.

I also take xopenex. How do you guys deal with the uncertainty of when you might have an attack, or in another way...the certainty that you WILL have an attack. I find it kind of depressing sometimes. Bee
