Hi all! I've had asthma and an albuterol inhalor for about twelve years. It works really well for me, but i get all shaky and weak after i take it. Running and writing are out of the question for at least half an hour afterwords. What can i do to counteract the affects?
That's pretty typical....I use it before I jog but have found that I really don't have much of a reaction if I start jogging at 15 minutes after...if I wait much longer I'll start having the shakes....but that's the only time I use it unless some odd aberation occurs...like this spring a couple of times at night I woke up having trouble breathing. And then I did have shakes, etc after using the albuterol...was not realistic to go job at 3;30 AM! good look...
My mom was the same way, they switched her to the generic brand and that helped enough for her to be happy. The doctor told her if it didnt work or if it started back up again that they would start a trial and error thing in finding something else for her.
She never needed to do that. But that would mean other meds are available for you and your doctor to look into.
albuterol works but i get weak and shake
