have been on tracleer since early 2004 and have had no problems with or from it. i was put on tracleer after being on flolan since feb 1998 when diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. it is a lot easier to take just two pills a day instead of having a 24 hour pump that you have to carry around. my pressures have been normal since put on flolan and have been healthy ever since. i'm hopi...

It seems as if I am breathing a little better . I seem to have regressed after taking 125mg. for a year and 1/2 now. At first I fainted while walking around my yard and had like little head rushes. I had had some nausea. And mush joint pain all over. I feel like I am trading one problem for many others. Overall what R U going to do...........Sure wish there was a better resolution to this disease.... :)

I am in my third month. I am taking 125 mgs.Started at 62.5 mgs. I have been on oxygen for 12 yrs. Am now at 6 liters - 24/7. I'm in my third year of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. I believe the medication has helped me. I can walk more and longer. I've had headaches, flushing, fever like feelings, coughing, sinus like problems. I have my liver tested every month,so far so good. I also have asthma and am on allergy shots. Some of my problems could be related to the asthma. Over all I beleive this medication will prolong my life span.Read More Read Less

I've been on this medication for about 5 going on 6 months now in the first month i had headaches but they stopped. about half way thru the second month i started getting head rushes every time i stood up and if going from sitting on the floor to standing i would have to do it in stages or i would have fainted however this has now also stopped. Was reading another post that mentioned heartburn...I too have been getting way more heartburn then before and also a lot more gas causing burps. The pills seemed to be doing more for my breathing in the the first 2 or 3 months and i feel as though they have lost some effectiveness however i could have just forgotten how much worse my breathing really was before am still hopeful for a bit more improvement of symptoms as the Doc said it may take up to 8+ months for full effectiveness of this treatment. overall i have to say its has made activities easier to accomplish.Read More Read Less

I did not want to take this medication because I did not feel I was that bad and I did not like the side effects. My doctors convinced me I needed to take it. After about two months, I feel much stronger over all, and I do not get short of breath as quickly. I can do things it was very hard to do before.
