Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Spiriva

I m just started Spiriva a week ago. I feel like I m crawling out of my skin and I m having difficulty breathing. I am not going to take it anymore but want to know when these symptoms will pass. I feel horrible!! If there anything I can do get rid of these horrible side effects sooner? I can t afford to go to the ER. Thanks!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Breathlessness is one of the serious side effect of taking Spiriva (Tiotropium Bromide). Stopping th drug immediately and A visit to ER is absolutely recommended if you are feeling breathless.
You can try taking Benadryl, but I would still persist on a visit to the ER.
Hope you get well soon. thank you.
