Yep, I'm taking the pharmaceutical commoner, moclobemide. I don't think it's sedating, I take it morning and night. Same with lithium.

Just took a nighttime-early evening shot of morphine, a couple of chlormethiazole caps (antiseizure med) and 3x5mg nitrazepam (benzo sedative, fairly damn strong one, long acting) 1 earlier and 2 just now.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

Since I have had the Symbicort puffer, I have had a weird problem - the spray hits the back of my throat and I gag. Over and over until I nearly throw up and my eyes are streaming. Not pleasant. So my doctor recommended a spacer, which I bought today. I have used it once and it works without a problem!

  That's excellent.  I wonder how many other inhaler users have that problem!  :orly:

Is that the dry powder combined steroid/long acting bronchodilator type, the round disk like things that open sections, like a round magazine of bullets almost, containing a small quantity of powder? or the ones that squirt a rapidly vaporising propellant?

Never used the former type since I am not asthmatic, but the latter, ordinary 'reliever' types I've used and they use (in my experience, both one scripted from this country and when I couldn't remember where I put that, used one containing the same active drug, but from the US) absolute ethanol (pure alcohol) as the solvent remaining when whatever is in there to generate the pressure evaporates, and its nasty, you can taste the alcohol. Had to use one for a while after a gas mask temporary failure whilst working with something rather nasty, one of the interhalogen compounds, got a tiny whiff of it in escaping, and even the least reactive of them does NOT play nice. Hated using the inhaler, although did need it for 3-4 days after or so.

It's the propellant sort that sprays, Symbicort. Budesonide and eformoterol fumerate dihydrate. I used to have the round disk-like inhaler, Seretide. But it wasn't enough recently. I needed something stronger. Symbicort is both a preventer and reliever. I am a bit peeved that I still have to take about 8 puffs a day, maybe it will get better once the weather warms up and people stop using their wood fires. ;)

Maybe you used Ventolin? I don't know what that's called in the UK.
