I was just prescribed Spiriva Handihaler 18mcg Caps 90s for my COPD. I've heard mixed things about it. Has anyone else had experience with this? The side effects list is scary, and I'm wondering if the benefits outweigh the risks. My doctor said it would help open up my airways, but I've also heard horror stories about severe reactions and worsening breathing problems. I guess I'm just looking for some real-life experiences and advice.
