| 1 | Severe Asthma | Bed Wetting Night Sweats Bad Dreams Depression Anger Wants to be alone Not Social Cries that I will leave him for good Lashes out for no reason Somedays no emotion Spacey Lost *** this all started in the last 7 months Bad Moody swings my son is not himself I don't know if its this med or Zyrtec but I'm removing him from this med. I've questioned it 3 yrs ago when a friend told me her daughter was being suicidal | M | 5 | 3 years 4mg | 5/14/2013 | 1 | severe allergies | insomnia | Claritin and Veramyst used to control my allergies. But this year pollen was so bad I developed bronchitis. So the doctor gave me an inhaler and singulair. After the second sleepless night I started reading this site. I have no desire to find out if I will develop other side effects and I am discontinuing. | F | 43 | 2 days 10 mg 1X day | 5/9/2013 | 1 | Sinus | Night mares , crying , mood changes , crying a lot | M | 2 | 2 weeks Granuals | 5/7/2013 | 1 | Allergies | I began having sternum pain. Then my elbows, knees, back, and hips started hurting. I thought I was getting arthritis or fibromyalgia. Finally, I realized I had just started a new medication. Pain subsided less than a week after I stopped taking the medicine. | F | 32 | 3 weeks | 5/4/2013 | 4 | Severe allergies | Absence of stuffy nose. Yay!! | F | 30 | 2 weeks 10mg | 4/26/2013 | 2 | Asthma | Anger, frustration, angst, introversion, depression, fainting | My son began taking Singulair when he was 7. We were warned about behavioral issues (ADD like symptoms, insomnia, irritability, etc.) and didn't really notice any change. We recently noticed that my son was hiding it and not taking it (chalk it up to being 12?). Oddly, this surly, angry, frustrated tween I've been dealing with for 2 years went away and my son is back to his silly, funny, not perfect but fun self. He's not as obsessive and introverted (e.g., hooked on video games) and is back out playing basketball with his brother, volunteering to help with his dad, etc. We thought, for a moment, he grew out of being a surly pre-teen. But no...the day we realized he stopped taking it (mid spring-flowering trees, of course), we asked, and he insisted it was an accident and took it in front of us. He fainted at school. Come to find out that fainting is a rare but side effect of singulair. Meanwhile, I add that together with this "normal" kid who is back in our lives and I realize that something happens pre-puberty where kids just don't process it the same. If your kid is on Singulair and you're noticing the "teen angst" -- consider it might be his meds. | M | 12 | 5 years 5 mg 1X day | 4/26/2013 | 1 | Allergy related asthma | Anxiety, irregular heartbeat, weird dreams. | M | 65 | 21 days 30 1X day | 4/21/2013 | 1 | asthma | Bed wetting, nightmares, mood swings, anger outburst, very sensitive and would cry easily. | My son was prescribed this medication in attempt to help his asthma. He became a different person. After reading the side effects, I decided to stop this medication. I am thankful he was only on it for 3 months. I wish we never started it. | M | 6 | 3 months 1X day | 4/13/2013 | 5 | allergy related asthma | So far so wonderful! | F | 48 | 5 days 10 mg | 4/7/2013 | 1 | Chronic Bronchitis | Irregular heartbeat, heart rate that varies from a low of 68 BPM to 160 over a 24-hour period, weight gain, inability to concentrate | I never connected Singulair to any of these symptoms until I was sent to a cardiologist for high blood pressure (my normal blood pressure is low) and a very high heart rate. After a thorough heart work-up, my cardiologist could not find a reason for the symptoms and suggested that Singulair was the problem. I have now gone off the drug and will see if it makes a difference. | F | 69 | 2 years 10 mg 1X day | 4/4/2013 | 5 | Asthma/allergies | Was on name brand but insurance made me switch. Generic NOT helping. | F | 41 | 4 years 20mg | 3/29/2013 | 2 | asthma and Mast Cell Activation Syn | Weight gain....Insomnia | F | 29 | 30 days 1X day | 3/25/2013 | 5 | severe allergies | Panic Attacks, Severe Anxiety, Depression, Lack of focus,Mood swings. | Worked great for my allergies but the side effects were hellish,stope taking it and got back to normal after three days. Thank God! | M | 51 | 11 days 10mg 1X day | 3/17/2013 | 5 | control asthma | None with brand singulair. Since going on generic, I have had ear pain, headachs, blured vision, and sinus pressure. | Will be contacting Doctor in the morning. | M | 56 | 20 years 5MG 1X day | 3/11/2013 | 1 | Asthma | Dizziness, loss of muscle strength in legs and back, overall pain in joints and headache daily. Well I could breath better but what a cost....plus insomnia, sleeping every 3rd day. No more. | F | 63 | 4 weeks 10 mg. | 3/11/2013 | 5 | COPD w/ exercise-induced asthma | I haven't experienced negative side effects. | I began taking this when my albuterol inhaler (Proventil) and inhaled corticosteroid (Pulmicort) were not adequately treating my shortness of breath. In subsequent years, my pulmonologist added Spriva, and I am now taking my albuterol via nebulizer. A generic equivalent (montelukast) is now available. I've been reluctant to switch, but the cost difference is substantial. Now I've seen some reviews (on this site and elsewhere) from people who, like me, had a good, long-term experience with the brand drug, but began experiencing seriously negative side effects when they switched to the generic. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. | F | 62 | 8 years 10 MG 1X day | 3/10/2013 | 1 | COPD, breathing problems | took 2 different times. wasn't sure what med was my problem. started cortef same time. last time took 3 days. head itching,red spots in scalp,flaking, BP went up, can't sleep, shaking, face red, attention span not good. was in hospital for anxiety befor starting these 2 new meds. Don't like what i read about side effects every1 is having! | M | 62 | 3 days 30mg 1X day | 3/5/2013 | 1 | Asthma/Allergy | nightmares, hair loss, depression, suicidal ideology. | I am posting on behalf of my daughter, age 16. She was on Singulair for approx. 6 years, switching over to the generic form August 2012. Mood changes were gradual and attributed to "teenager". Five weeks ago, the thoughts of suicide were dominant and she was removed from the drug asap - they are unsure if it is her age or the switch to the generic form that triggered this. My question is - how long before the aftereffects of this drug go away? The hair loss has just started improving but the suicidal thoughts are still present. (yes, she is under a doctor's care and seeing a therapist) | F | 16 | 6 years 5-10mgs. 1X day | 2/28/2013 | 1 | Sinusitis | The drug was great at eliminating nasal congestion and reducing my cough but only one pill kept me wake. I took the pill the first day in the morning. At 4:00AM the next morning I was still looking at the clock. I also felt disconnected from myself. | After only one pill I realize I can't tolerate this drug and will not ever take it again. | F | 54 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/24/2013 | 5 | seasonal allergies | None | F | 38 | 10 years 10mg 1X day | 1/24/2013 |
