This medication made me feel like I was dying. I had every symptom of the flu but much worse with severe head pain and diahhrea. I could not leave my house for two weeks after taking only three pills.

I have been taking the brand name drug for about three years and have found it very effective. It does take a while to build up in the blood levels. I stopped when my provider could not obtain the name brand (trade embargo) so I was switched to this, rough ride in between but this works as well as the name brand. Side effects: little dizzy when standing up to fast, have to pay attention to balance and a small effect on sleeping patterns.

Experienced appetite loss and the more serious side effects of nervousness, thoughts of suicide, depression and trouble sleeping. Less severe each day but would not take them again if prescribed. I Rated it ineffective because of side effects. Felt horrible with the feelings it left me with. I also had flu like symptoms of body aches. Medication was only prescribed for a month so I Continued to take them to give my body time to adjust to it. Waking each day with the suicidal thoughts that I experienced are the real reason for the review. I will never take this medication again.Read More Read Less

I feel as if I'm more short of breath than without it.

How do you know how to answer? I don't notice any difference since I have been taking the pill.

COPD-Emphysema No side effects noted. Since taking this I have been able to more than what I was doing prior to taking it. My exercise routine is no longer a chore. I am no longer dreading the thought of having to go shopping or any other chores that where a dreaded task.
