Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

I would be surprised if your Pulmo would recommend restarting Brinsupri after what you experienced. I had to stop after 7 weeks. My mucus had gotten thicker and increased amount before I started Brinsupri but it only got worse and I had the ear plugging feeling and mucus originating in upper airways even more than usual. Also had severe vertigo episodes. And when I took my BP it seemed to jump from high to low. In spite of all this I had considered retrying Brinsupri but my pulmo (who has MANY patients on it) said he was not keen on my doing so. I wish we knew more but it seems a miracle for some and for others quite the opposite.

I just finished 3 months of 10 mg Brinsupri. While my cough and mucus have both decreased, I, too, have had uncomfortable bouts of vertigo with vomiting. I called the Panther pharmacist who said she hadn’t heard that as a side effect and it probably had to do with my blood pressure which is no problem. Now my Mayo doctor switched me to 25mg of Brinsupri which I’m thinking of cutting in half. I wonder if anyone else had any issues with vertigo while on it.
