Hi, first time here....I am taking spiriva respimat and Dule

Hi, first time here....I am taking spiriva respimat and Dulera with albuterol as needed. (All meds at highest level..I am stage 3 copd - emphysema and asthma). Just wondering what would happen if I stop taking my meds or even just one med?? Has anyone tried this?

My doc just switched me to Brio for insurance reasons....has anyone tried this med and is it effective?

@vikingqueen - I stopped Anoro (non steroid) inhaled once daily, to be honest I noticed no difference though I did continue excerising 3x’s per week & on really bad days would march in place during commercials. Anoro is a relatively new drug on the market yet like you said if my Insurance stops paying for it then I don’t know whats next. Am told I’m stage 3 though not on o2 so after 1month I started it again, still not sure if its mind over matter, hummm

@vikingqueen - I also take blood pressure once daily Lisnopril though am working (excerising, good healthy food) to change that.

@April my husband took lisinopril and started to get a nasty cough…once he went to a different med the cough quit, also know of one other person with same issue. So be careful…that’s a nasty med.
