Day 4..... migraine today..eating....hardly in 2 days, and have had anxiety bouts for last 3. I will give this 2 weeks maybe 3 and then that's it.

When I first started Effexor (at 37.5mg), it was like a Godsend. I felt immediately like things were going to change with my life.

My personal experience the w/ProAir HFA, is not a favorable one. I am 39 yrs old and have been a life-long Asthma suffferer / survisor! However, within the past few months, my Asthma has gone into what I call an 'active / non-reactive' phase. Very active on the Asthma side and non-reactive to my normal Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler or Solution for my Nebulizer. My Pharmacy interchanged the Albuterol Inh and dispensed the subject inhaler...I was reluctant to use this inhaler, but also wanted t... View full comment
