I also wanted to express to anyone that ever wants to try this drug. At first, it worked great for me, and I never had to use my albuterol inhalor. Then, after about 3 weeks, I noticed the weight gain. I couldn't figure out why I was gaining weight, when I NEVER have had a weight problem. I am 39 years old and I have gained about 10-12 pounds in about 3 months. I constantly look pregnant. I cannot seem to get rid of the weight gain either. I work out every single day to fight off the water gain. Nothing I do seems to matter, I cannot get the weight off. I wish I knew what to do to get this drug out of my system. I stopped taking it when I called my Dr. on it.

Shooting pains go down my arms midlength....every single day. I have never been in so much pain DAILY, as I am now. I can only pray that it will leave my system soon and I can feel better.
