She is also on 10mg of Zyrtec. The Zyrtec has never given her any problems. It just was not working on it's own. Once she started taking Singular, it helped almost instantly. But, then, she changed. She started having a nasty attitude. She was going out of her way to disobey us. She was becoming very aggressive. This is nothing like her normal self. She is now extremely scared to be in another part of the house without someone with her. She started getting up and standing in her floor peeing. She would be asleep and not know what was going on. At first I had blamed it on her no longer taking naps at preschool. But she had stopped them a few months ago. What clicked was tonight. She had gotten out of bed. Walked over to her dresser. Peed in the floor. Then, climbed back in bed. My husband woke her up to change. She had no clue she was even wet. She swore she did not pee her pants. She had no memory of getting out of bed. She has only done this since being on Singular. She has been dry through the night for several years before this. She has also been complaining of her stomach bothering her on several occasions. She has also had quite a few meltdowns over nothing. She had one again tonight right before bed. She is normally a very laid back happy smart little girl. But, since being in Singular, she is completely different. I am not giving her anymore of this medicine. I was afraid to give it to her to begin with. | F | 5 | 2 weeks 5mg 1X day | 5/14/2012 | 3 | Asthma & Allergies | Weight Gain | Love what it does for my allergies and asthma, but not the weight gain. No other life style change at all to explain the 5 pounds I've gained in 3 weeks since starting Singulair. How can they claim weight gain is not a side effect of Singulair with all these posts? | F | 46 | 3 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 5/8/2012 | 3 | for allergy-induced asthma | Completely strung out, exhausted, fatigued, nervous, anxious, headache | I cut dosage to 5 mg. a day; still had strong side effects. Have stopped taking it for two days and already, more relaxed, calm, no headache. I don't take drug in evening as I don't want a hellish night, so i take it during day and muddle through. May stop entirely, but it does seem to help somewhat with asthmatic reaction to allergies. Still, is it really worth it with other drug options out there? Singulair degrades my sense of quality of life--enjoying life and being present to oneself, family and friends. | F | 62 | 2 weeks 10 mg 1X day | 5/4/2012 | 5 | Asthma | I don't think I've had any side effects. | Singulair has worked exceptionally well for me. I had mild asthma when it came to physical activity. My asthma was much worse when triggered by hay fever or animals (I couldn't have a pet until I took singulair). After reading all the negative comments I was trying to figure out if I had any side effects. I might have one or two nightmares a year. I probably had that many before. I do get irritable sometimes, but I used to get irritable sometimes as well. I don't think singulair really had any negative effects on me. | M | 34 | 13 years 10mg 1X day | 4/25/2012 | 1 | Allergies | before i found this site i was wondering what was going on. the doctor prescribed me singulair nasonex and allegra D for my allergies. None of the drugs helped my sinus. i took singulair for 7 days last month and it didnt work so i stopped taking it. this month i decided to give it another shot since my sinus congestion has been horrible. As i started to take it again i noticed following: i have a huge anxiety attacks, panic attacks and mood swings. i though it may be just because i have been stressed out. well as my wife says i became hypercandriac (however you spell it). talked to the doctor he said anxiety is common prescribed me XANAX and some anti depressant. by no means i am depressed and sideeffect of antidepressant are insane. so untill i looked at this site i never made a connection between singulair and my attacks. i will keep everyone posted in 1 week from now how it goes. | stopped taking singulair april 23, 2012 giving it a week and seeing if my anxiety/panic attacks will go away. Xanax will not be used unless in case of major attack | M | 25 | 7 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/23/2012 | 2 | severe asthma | First month-Very bad vivid dreams. Second month-Rash-like hard skin bumps. Third month-cough, flu-like symptoms, nausea, migraine, incontinence, severe muscular pain in back and neck, drop in body temperature that lasted an hour or more in the evening, tiredness, weak muscles. I'm putting down all of my symptoms even they haven't been listed in the usual places in case other people experience the same. | It helped my asthma but the symptoms I got from it were much worse. I'm pretty sure that I have an allergy to it because my symptoms became so bad. I finally stopped taking it but I haven't talked with my doctor about it yet. | F | 52 | 3 months 30 1X day | 4/21/2012 | 3 | Exercise Induced Asthma, Allergies | Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal thoughts, insomnia, loss of appetite, and many more | Once I started taking it, I got the side effects pretty quickly. Now, I cry every night for no reason and have really bad thoughts that I can't control. I barely sleep at night; Going to bed almost every night around 4 or 5 in the morning and sleeping throughout school which is causing my grades to drop. My friends notice my mood always changing. Sometime, I get random attacks and break down crying and not wanting to talk to anyone. it's only been 3 weeks and I hope it doesn't get worst because I don't plan on stopping. | F | 15 | 3 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 4/18/2012 | 1 | Allergies | headache, mild stomach pain, nausea, fatigue, tremor, trouble sleeping, itching | Singulair works well, but side effects made it not worth taking. | M | 61 | 2 days 10mg 1X day | 4/14/2012 | 4 | non-specif resp. issues, allergies | Increased blood pressure, massive weight gain | I was prescribed 10 mg/day, but after watching my BP rise, cut back to 5. Six months and 40 pounds later, I found out that it causes weight gain. I quit taking it the next day. /May/ have helped the breathing, but not worth the weight. | M | 51 | 6 months 5 mg 1X day | 4/11/2012 | 5 | Frequent Sinus Infections/Asthma | Vivid dreams | I can breathe. For the first time in a long time I didnt wake up with a stuffy nose. | F | 41 | 7 days 10 MG 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 5 | Hay fever and asthma | None that I noticed. I was going through menopause at the time so if there were any initial mood/mental changes I probably attributed them to menopausal mood swings. | Both myself and my 21 year old daughter have been on Sinulair for 10 years. It's been a wonder drug for us. Totally controls our severe nasal allergies and asthma symptoms. If I miss a pill for a day I can already feel my asthma wheezing returning. Luckily, neither of us have had problems with nightmares, depression, or any other type of mental/mood changes. Our allergist said that he has had patients on Singulair for decades with no complaints of negative side effects. | F | 59 | 10 years 10 mg 1X day | 3/30/2012 | 2 | asthma | Son commenced singulair 4mg a day when he about 3 years old for asthma that was getting very severe. Great at first, asthma cleared right up so we could put the inhaler away almost completely. Slow but progressive behavioural problems in preschool and kindergarten to point we took him out of school as disrupting other students and teachers. He seemed so angry, touchy, hypersensitive and miserable. Didn't consider Singulair to be the cause until we revisited the medi info as we were at wits end. Also son has preexisting problems with ears which we misinterpreted as being partial cause of problems.. Been off Singulair for over 3 weeks now with doctor's consent with management and he has really lifted in mood and has improved dramatically at school. The doctor does not seem to rate the side affect very seriously. The longer term affect of the drug seems to have altered our son's overall perceptions of his world. He's much happier already but he still draws things that worry his teacher f | Works great on the asthma symptoms but be absolutely vigilant for side effects on mood. I would say only to prescribe this to children old enough to realise and be able to communicate that they are getting depressed or moody etc. My son was still learning to speak when he started on singulair, coupled with hearing difficultes which clouded our view of what was happening to him. | M | 6 | 2 years 4mg 1X day | 3/29/2012 | 1 | My two yr old son for allergies | My son went from being a cuddly, affectionate child to being a complete terror. He throws things, he smacks people, he deliberately does things repeatedly with you standing right there even though he was told know, then he laughs when you yell. | My son is not this child and I'm glad that I caught it when I did. I feel sorry for those parents whose children have suffered longer and worse than my son, but knowing this, he's off effective immediately. Why don't they warn you about these symptoms??? | M | 2 | 3 days 4mg 1X day | 3/29/2012 | 1 | Asthma/allergies | Arm numbness, dry cough, stomach pain and flu symptoms. | F | 33 | 6 days 10mg 1X day | 3/28/2012 | 1 | Allergies | Nose bleeds and gums bleeding. | I stop taking the drug 10 days ago and I am still bleeding from the nose and the mouth. I have no history of any ailments that could cause this and I regularly visit the dentist and have good oral hygiene. I hope the bleeding stops soon as not I have to deal with 2 problems instead of just one. | M | 35 | 30 days 1X day | 3/26/2012 | 1 | complete craziness I had read the side effects but didnt start to realize what was happening until about the 3rd month and cotinued to take this medication but less frequently and for the past 2 months I have been having serious mood swings and coo-coo thoughts/dreams after reading the reviews I flushed those horrid pills down the toilet I would much rather use my inhaler than to go through these terrible conditions please do not allow your doctor prescribe you these things | M | 17 | 5 months 1X day | 3/17/2012 | 1 | Allergies | My 2 year old was prescribed Singular along with Nasonex and allergy shots for allergies. She has experienced horrible night terrors, mood changes, hitting and slapping episodes. I discounted these behaviors to change in routine (moving from a crib to bed)and bad behavior picked up at daycare. It wasn't until I was at a social gathering and a group of Mothers were talking about allergies. Several Mothers were discribing side effects of Singular and why they stopped giving it to their children..I was shocked...they just described my daughter for the past 6 months! I feel horrible that I didn't research myself! I answered the allergist's questions when asked how my daughter was doing with the medication..."she's doing great, no more running noses and cold are less frequent"..I didn't know what to ask or what to report on.Shame on me for not doing research, Shame on the doctors for not warning! | F | 2.5 | 6 months 4mg 1X day | 3/11/2012 | 3 | Asthma | My son has been on Singlair for nearly a month. It's such a relief that he is not having asthma attacks anymore. However, most days I don't feel like I know my son anymore. He is moody and snaps at me for the smallest things. He gets very aggressive and very Hypa. I'm going to take him off the tablets and see my doctor if we can prevent his asthma another way. | M | 5 | 12 months 5 1X day | 3/10/2012 |
