On The 4th Week Of Daliresp

Updated

My husband is now on his 4th week of Daliresp. The side effects are still horrible but from what I have read here, they do finally go away and the breathing is much better with no flare ups. It seems like he has had almost every side effect there is from this. His breathing is getting a little better now.

Yes, side effects normally reach their peak of intensity and then start to taper off at around 4 to 6 weeks, that's usually the time that a medication reaches its full level of effectiveness in someone's body.

Learn more Daliresp details here.

However, if they don't start to taper off, or if they get worse, then he should contact his doctor immediately.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I decided to try it for 6 weeks to see if side affects would go away as I have read on here. My worst that hasn't gone away is stomach upsets not wanting to eat but hungry and tremors. I think I should stop taking it at this point. I will cut in half for a couple of weeks then 1/4 for few days. We'll see.

I am now off deliresp after cutting in half for a few weeks. Eating good now no more tremors. Best to wean off always. Feel better but breathing is still the same.

Hi there, just wanted to share my experience with you in hopes to bring an understanding to how this pill worked for me. I am 44 with stage 3 copd. I have a efg at 47%. I have been on every medication that has come out. I am now on singulair and Daliresp. Every so often I get a serious breathing issue and go in for a steroid inj. but for the most part I'm doing ok. Now I been through the no appetite to the severe stomach issues of eating and running to the restroom before I'm even half way through my dinner. I was 227lbs. I'm now down to 188lbs within 8 months yea not good right. Well that's why I think this medication worked for me I lost so much weight my breathing seems easier but it was a battle to get here I mean I had serious issues I was afraid to leave the house cause sometimes I have to go to the bathroom and it's like a right at the moment type thing. Important factor is 6 weeks isn't enough time for your body to adjust and you have to force yourself to eat or the stomach issues are way worse. I have adjusted to the medicine quite well and in my case the weight loss was a plus as I look way better. However if you are underweight I would suggest you find a way to increase your appetite and eat more starchy carbs to maintain a healthy weight level. Those of you that have high mucus build up drink a bottle of water with a fresh squeezed lime or lemon in it but be careful not to drink too much as it lowers blood pressure but it does help loosen up the mucus so you can get it out your body. I drink 16oz of water with a lime squeezed in it daily. Try it and I'd like to hear any feedback positive or negative.
