| 4 | Asthma-related cough | Trembling all over after use, for up to half an hour, accompanied by slight dizziness and disorientation. | F | 21 | 1 months | 1/4/2007 | 1 | bronchitis | I took it a few times and it gave me horrible fevers, tremors, and hallucinations for years. It nearly killed me. | I would not recommend this for small children. | F | 20 | 3 days | 10/7/2006 | 1 | Astma | Rapid heart-beat. Also I feel that although it gives an "instant fix", overall Ventolin makes my condition worse & I have to take more steroids & it takes longer to recover from an attack. I manage my condition much better without it. | Ventolin mistakenly gives patients the feeling that they are instantly "cured". This is dangerous, as they then continue with energetic activity. The best thing to do is to rest as much as possible to allow your body to recover. Other drugs, such as Becotide, work more slowly, but the results last longer. Using Becotide, with resting as much as possible during an attack, means I have less attacks & recover much more quickly. Ventolin is very dangerous, as it quickly builds up a dependece, which means high profits for the drug companies, but is very bad for the asthma sufferer. | F | 46 | 10 days | 9/29/2006 | 2 | asthma | terrible palpitations | I've been taking ventolin since I was a kid, but it stopped working for me. I spent a year with terrible asthma attacks before the doctors realized the ventolin just wasn't helping me. I've switched to Atrovent (as needed), and that's working much better. | F | 33 | 27 years | 5/20/2006 | 3 | Asthma | All over trembling, dizzyness & weakness. | M | 26 | 26 years | 4/6/2006 | 4 | Asthma | Shaky hands | F | 29 | 26 years | 7/21/2005 | 5 | asthma | shakiness (Only when taking more than 2 puffs at a time) | Love this brand, seems to be the best out there. | F | 22 | 20 years | 4/29/2005 | 4 | ASTHMA | SHAKING HANDS A FEW MINUTES AFTER USE | F | 37 | 22 years | 2/11/2005 | 4 | Asthma | Agitation, mania, anxiety | Side-effects may have been from the combination anti-hsitamine - nasal drops - Ventolin - anti-cough medicine | M | 33 | 14 days | 6/21/2004 | 4 | asthma | shaky hands | M | 33 | 21 years | 9/18/2002 |
