I started at 2.5mg 4 x a day and then was introduced to 1 mg of liquid when the slow release didn't work that fast ,just for a booster. I started on this for breathing easier and pain. Now I'm on 10ng 3 x a day and 2ml 4times a day. I was surprised at how well it works for breathing and energy. My pain is next to nothing now. I am very grateful to my pulmonary Dr for starting me on it. Who would have thought??!!!!! 😸😸

@ jean. It was suggest that I may
want to use it as I was having difficulty with sob on exertion at times. Otherwise I don't experience any issues. I am not on oxegen and my levels run between 97/98.No one has ever said I was end stage. What does that look like? I appreciate your answers Jean. They are very informative.

It's often done at end stage; it doesn't reduce the air hunger one can feel, but it does reduce the anxiety that goes with it. I have several friends who have had it prescribed toward the end of their lives.
