If you don't want to kiss and cuddle it every time you use it (or at least almost every time), something is wrong, and you need to go back to the doctor and harass him until he figures out why you aren't responding normally and which other medicine you need.
It shouldn't be "kinda helping" for a hour or so, then leaving you feeling as bad or worse. It should relieve all the major symptoms, not only tightness and wheezing but chest pain as well, and the improvement should last several hours. You should be able to use it and get on with your day.
If you take it when your lungs are feeling good, (go on, try it!) the only bad thing that should happen is that you feel a little wired.
I knew that other people with asthma didn't feel as arabivalent about their rescue inhaler as I did about mine, but I had no idea what the right drug would feel like. I can do anything I want now, and if the asthma starts acting up, that's okay, the day isn't a loss.
I'm so ticked off at myself for not pursuing this more aggressively and sooner.
