I've been taking Theophylline 450mg ER Tablets for about a year now to manage my asthma. My doctor prescribed it after trying a few other medications that didn't work as well.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? The side effects listed are quite extensive, and I'm curious if others have experienced any of these. I’ve only had minor issues like trouble sleeping and a persistent headache, but nothing too severe. I want to get a better understanding of the long-term effects and any tips for managing side effects.
