Question/Comment:
I am on albuterol but for my breathng machine only until my pneumonia clears up. I'll be going back to my Ventolin inhaller as soon as possible. They put me on the Z pak generic for the pneumonia and that is limited to 5 days thank goodness.

Question/Comment:
If you use the albuterol more than once a day, it may be very advantageous for you to try advair (if you can afford it) and breathe easier all day long. It made the biggest difference for me, almost like I was before I developed asthma at age 7.
ALERT: It is very easy to get hooked on albuterol. My body's trained response is to relax after I take it because, mentally, I know it will help me breathe better. It actually lowers my heart rate (my allergist tested the generic on me and monitored my heart rate for 30 minutes since I had a bad reaction to the generic of another inhaler) instead of raising it as the side effects suggest. I have to be really careful that, after a long hard day when I can't get to sleep at night, I don't just 'think' I need it but that I am actually having asthma symptoms so I should take it. But then again, when I was without advair for 2 weeks I became irritable, cranky and depressed so any asthma medication could be addictive. However, breathing easy is nicer than not.
