    I haven't been on this medication for very long but it has already helped me with my breathing problems. Of course, I have to use it alongside my Ventolin rescue inhaler for it to be effective. If I can get it down to just using one inhaler, that would be great.

    Cannot believe the FDA approved this "new" med. Hard to put together, hard to turn, and stupid way to keep track of the doses..and the PRICE...really disgusting!! Very dissatisfied.

    I have been using Spiriva for a couple of years, switched to the easier use about a year ago. The medication works well for me. But even with a prescription drug plan I find the cost to be out site. Medicare allows a set amount of drug cost per year, I find myself in the donut hole by August each year. MD looking for a drug I can afford.

    Spirva Respimat is working for me but occasionally causes me to cough and I'm afraid I'm losing some of the dose. Is this common and is it o.k.? I have used Spirva Capsules for several years and just started the Respimat.

    I used this product for years before they changed thedelivery system. Being older and with arthritis in my hands it is difficult for me to open and I feel that I get too much of the medication in my mouth. Prefer the handihaler.
