I used Spiriva for 5 days and felt really awful using it with not much benefit. I just found out yesterday talking with a pharmacist that Spiriva is to dry up the lungs of excess mucus and I am not sure that I have that at this time. Have quit taking it. It did make me feel sad and caused constipation.
