I was just changed from albuterol to Xopenex, because the albuterol
make me feel like I had 20 cups of espresso (that is the food
reference that makes this post on topic). I do not know how new it
is, but my doc offered it when I told her about the shakes after
treatments

The Xopenex gives a bit of a buzzy feeling, but nothing like the
albuterol. The only trick is that albuterol is generic, and so it is
much cheaper than Xopenex. If you have good med insurance coverage,
ask your doc about it. It makes a big diff to me in how I feel after
treatment. I am fortunate that my plan covers it. (I also got them to
cover a portable, battery run nebulizer that is way smaller than a can
of soda.)

What about Advair or Singulair? Tried either or both?
