"I started Daliresp 6 weeks ago when I had my first bronchitis inflammation. Still have the wheezing but am breathing better, using the nebulizer less often, still on 5 mg prednisone. Bowel issues are my main concern, chug Pepto Bismol to no avail and did vomit once. This drug is supposed to reduce bronchial flare-ups, so I'll stick with it. Do not wish to stay in the hospital again."

"I've been on Daliresp for 2 weeks now. I've had back to back Flare-up for the last year. The last one put me in the bed for 16 days. My Pulmonarist retired and I went to a new Pulmonarist for the 1st time. He described Daliresp as a miracle drug for COPD. He started me on it. I've seen improvement in 14 days. The only side effect I've had is nausea and a slight headache in the morning. I started taking it at bedtime and the nausea stopped. A couple of Tylenol stops the headache in the morning. I can already see improvement in my breathing. God sent me a miracle! I really thought during this last Flare-up I was going to die. I could stand to loss some weight. I am 30 lbs over weight starting out so I don't forsee being a problem. I go to 500mg after the 1st 30 days. I am thrilled about Daliresp."

"Been on Daliresp 500 mcg for about a week. I have to agree with the majority of reviews - this med will give you stomach pain, but if it keeps me from having an exacerbation of COPD, I'll continue it! For stomach pain, I tried soda crackers and Ginger ale, but the only thing that helped is "Gin Gins" which are a ginger "candy" which is great for stomach pain/upset."

"Reading reviews of people starting with 500mg and getting really sick should talk to their doctor. Mine started me with half dose of 250mg for a week then up to 250mg for 3 weeks before I went to the 500mg maintenance dose. Just a few side effects like diarrhea that really isn’t that bad. Just an idea ."

"I have severe COPD. I cannot walk around. I was coughing up lungers daily, but for the last 2 years with this, I have had maybe 2 or 3 times. Life saver."

"I have been using Daliresp for 1 week now. It appears to have improved my breathing, but I have several of the side effects. Now I'm having problems with diarrhea, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. I've got a call into my doctor now to see if the side effects will go away. If they don't, I'll have to go back to Advair."
