The doctor just prescribed Spiriva for my asthma last Wednesday, and I've noticed that there are times when I feel like one of those punch clowns. Before today, I only felt like someone was pushing in the backs of my knees on occasion. This afternoon, I felt a little strange. I have been giggly, which is the opposite of the depression side effect. I also got very lost in listening to Tina Turner on my ipod. And I cannot walk a straight line. I had almost gotten to walking a straight line.
Another side effect is constipation, so I've increased my water, and I'm thinking about increasing magnesium.
I have both a nurses drug handbook and a pdr, which states nothing about what I am feeling. I must admit that the punchy clown effect happened only once, but I was wondering...?
I am not feeling any more pain than normal.
