Not feeling good and is it all side-effects

I am taking Tobi approximately five months (on one month n off the next). I know there is a pattern after two weeks approx of Tobi I get hoarse voice-laryngitis to be fact, weakness, upset stomach and ringing in the ear and nausea feeling.
I did discuss with my Consultant and he said "we might have to take you off it". I said I would wait a bit longer to see will things settle down but they are not.
Normally after two-three days of not taking Tobi and introducing it back things settle down. I need to know what you do when on Tobi or am I not being wise and I should stop it.?
On the good side of things Tobi has stopped the increase of infections. Please advice. Thank you.

Tobi does have side-effects that can damage your inner ear, which can lead to hearing loss and vertigo. I myself hear the ringing often enough, but I still hear fine. I get hoarse and lose my voice if I am on Tobramycin and Pulmozyme, but only after yelling or shouting. I've been taking Tobi for longer than I can remember, and the benefits far outweigh the side-effects, although yours sound like they are more noticeable than mine.

INot feeling good and is it all side-effects

I have alot going on that I had to stop it four days now and took one last night and ill this morning.
However, I haven't taking any tonight I want to see how I gotomorrow. But I am so disappointed that I will have to stop it because I know it works but I am too ill.
I can withstand pain, sickness but these symptoms are so terrible. I just needed to find out what other side effects people have when on it. With my consultant on Friday. Thank you for taking time applying to me.

Yeah, if your symptoms are that bad then you'll have to talk to your doctor for alternatives. I've only ever taken Tobramycin, but Cayston is another popular choice.
