Albuterol can make you speed?

[Bear14now]

Hi people. I would really appreciate if somebody could help me a little bit. I am having a pretty severe asthma that it is induced by doing sports. So I need some help regarding this problem. of course, before I decided to post here I went to a specialist, I went to him a while back and I have done a test with viles. After I have finished with the test the doctors there have given me a pretty high dose of albuterol and after that I was what my mother is usually calling “speeding”. So, this is why I have asked you whether it is able Albuterol to make you “speed”. I do know very well what speeding is, however I have been wondering here whether albuterol really can do it to the person who is taking (to me) in case the person is going to take it on a regular basis. Yeah, I do know what I have said, that I am having asthma induced mostly by sports only, however I still would need to take it on a regular basis because we should take in consideration that I am either having practices or games every single day. besides, I am also using it at some other times if it is needed either. however, the problem is that I really do not want to be speeding in case I really do not want to do so. Well, it is mostly a basically a thought that have popped into my mind and I would really appreciate any help in this matter. by the way, I did called my doctor asking him this question but he said that he doesn’t know anything about “speeding” or anything in this matter. thank you all very much in advance for all of your answers!

well, I don’t know what kind of doctor you have if you asked him and he told you that he doesn’t have any idea about what you’re talking about. I assume he must be a new doctor, a young one? at least I personally find it very strange that he could not answer you this question. Very well, yeah, it really does. However, in case you are going to take it often, on a daily basis then you are most likely going to get used to this effect and this is why you are not going to notice it anymore, or at least not as much as you do feel it now. besides, in case you are using it in the time that you are doing sports then I can assume that you already know that your heart rate is already elevated and this is why you most likely are not going to notice it in case it is going to be slightly higher. I mean, you’re going to take it as an effect of doing sports. Nothing unusual.

Hey there. A doctor doesn’t know what you are talking about? WTF? I totally agree with the previous user. What kind of doctor you have? I ask this because the most common side effects that this Albuterol inhaler has are the increased heart rate and the jittery feeling how it is possible for him never to hear about this? did he told you that albuterol, as any other medicine, has side effects and what are they? What did he told you? maybe he did not understood the terminology of “speed”?! usually the medicine it is quite safe and these side effects really may decrease over some time in case you are going to take it on a regular basis as you have said. however, in case it is going to become a too big of a problem, or in case your heart rate is going to consistently or too often stay high (I am talking about 120 or even higher than that) then you might consider about decreasing your albuterol dosage or in case this won’t do anything or too little then there are some other medicines that can be prescribed to you as well. simply, some people do not respond very well to some specific medications, if you find yourself among them then it would be a good idea about thinking to switch them. and I would also re consider the doctor. or maybe we haven’t understood something right.

 

Anyway, talking about other alternatives for you, for example Xopenex (Levalbuterol) it is another pretty commonly used medicine for asthma as well. this is a form of albuterol that it is lasting longer than albuterol and it does not have the side effects that are mentioned above. however, the problem with this medicine it is that it is quite more expensive than albuterol and this is why there are some insurance companies that are either going to make you pay a higher co pay or maybe they might refuse of covering it at all. in case you are still having any concerns regarding this problem then go and talk with your doctor and see what he is going to tell you regarding this problem. I wish you good luck and I hope that in the end you’re going to find whatever you need.

Yeah, I totally agree with other people saying that in case you are going to take often enough then your body is simply going to adjust to this effect and even if it would persist then you’re simply not going to notice it and that’s it. besides, I think that a prescription dose really may not be as high as what the doctor gave you. just take it a couple more days and see what happens. however in case it is really becoming a big problem then yeah, most likely you need to visit a doctor. I wish you good luck.

So well, to be honest, I personally believe that it is not. that’s because my boyfriend is severely asthmatic and he has taken it for some years due to the fact that it is over the counter and now I have asked him what he knows about this question OP asked and he said that he doesn’t know anything about it. he told me that he has never experience anything in this matter so I can’t be sure. Though people are different and maybe he did not but other people might so I can’t be sure. Anyway, I have also taken it myself a couple of times due to the fact that at the time I have been smoking cigarettes and I have had some pretty acute respiratory issue because of my smoking habit. To be honest, I do not think that it has done anything in this matter to me as I surely did not feel anything speedy, any jittery effect and no higher heart beat. It has been doing only, exclusively, what it was meant to do. so I did not experienced anything and nor my boyfriend. However, I did read that this thing can increase your heart rate and I have read that this might happen because of the lack of oxygen in your body to begin with. so well, you are getting only an increased heart rate but due to this condition and not due to the albuterol. So well, most asthmatic medicines out there are usually giving you an weird feeling, or maybe even a tired feeling (since you get your body gets the oxygen) but never a speed. However, as I said, people are different and I don’t know what you’re talking about for sure.

 

Let me tell you a funny thing, I remember that once (a few years ago) I have met a kid who has asked me if I wanted to get fu**ed up on this thing. I think that it has been one of the most hilarious things that I have ever been asked by someone.

 

Honestly, I think that your mother might just be over protective of you and sometimes it may perhaps blame your mood or the way of life as drug related or something in this matter. and this is something that I have seen from a lot of different people that I have met all over my life, over a lot of years, and especially during my high school. Sorry if this offends you in anyway, believe me that this is not what I intend to do.

 

Besides, one more important thing to mention here is that albuterol it is not the best thing for asthma on the market so exactly as all the other people said, in case you are feeling that this product is not doing the trick then I would really speak to your doctor about receiving a better medication, a medication that it is under the counter.
