I've been using Inbrija 42mg Oral Inhalation Caps for a few months now to manage my Parkinson's 'OFF' episodes, and I've found it to be a lifesaver. The medication contains levodopa and delivers it directly to the lungs, which helps me regain mobility much faster than traditional oral medications. However, I've also experienced some side effects, and I wanted to share my experience and hear from others who might be using this as well. The most common issues I've encountered include a cough and a change in sputum color, which can be a bit unsettling. But so far, nothing too severe. What has your experience been like? Have you noticed any significant side effects or benefits? I'm also curious about how others handle the potential for serious, rare side effects. Does anyone have any tips for managing these risks?

Been using Inbrija for about a year now, and it’s been a godsend. The only issue was a cough that came with it. Things seem to be well so far.

I’ve never felt so in control of my symptoms until I started using Inbrija. It's a bit of a bummer that you can't take it with food or drink for 30 minutes before or after, but if it means I don’t have to worry about severe stiffness or tremors getting in the way of my activities, then it's a fair trade.

I'm curious to hear from anyone who has had trouble with excessive sweating while using Inbrija. I started experiencing it after a few weeks, and it's been really challenging to manage. I'm wondering if there are any ways to mitigate this, besides talking to my doctor about it. I've heard of some people experiencing changes in eyesight, eye pain, and other health issues.

Next time I visit my doctor, I think I’m going to ask about the possibility of Inbrija for my 'OFF' episodes. I’m also having trouble with dizziness and fainting spells. I wonder if that will make my symptoms worse.

Does anyone know if Inbrija can be used in conjunction with other Parkinson's medications? I’m currently on a combination of drugs, and I’m not sure if adding Inbrija to the mix will be beneficial or potentially harmful. I’ve seen some choking issues too.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the issue of hallucinations. A family member of mine who's been on Inbrija experienced some mild hallucinations, and it was really scary. Just something to be aware of. Hallucinations were a very common side effect in the clinical trials.

I started using Inbrija a few weeks ago, and it's been a game-changer for me. I no longer dread my 'OFF' episodes as much because I know I can quickly get relief. The only thing I worry about is the risk of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Has anyone else considered this?

I tried this one, but it made me have strange dreams. I’ve had some vivid, odd dreams and it made it hard to fall asleep. I was getting really uncomfortable when I started feeling restless in the night.

I've been on this med for a while and I've had no issues with the serious side effects. However, I did have a mild case of restless legs when I first started taking it. Just want to say to anyone who is considering it, it's a bit daunting to start using something new when you're already dealing with a lot of symptoms, but it's been worth it for me.
