| 5 | Asthma | No side effects whatsoever. | My son who is now 15 began taking 10mg of Singulair daily in combination with Zyrtec. His asthma has been completely in control but it took us years to get the right drug combination that worked for him. The drugs that contained steroids consistently resulted in significant mood and behavior changes. Fortunately we have not seen any of these types of symptoms with Singular. | M | 15 | 6 years 10MG 1X day | 1/13/2011 | 4 | allegies | hyperactiity, depression,agression, mood swings, headaches, | M | 15 | 5 years 10mg 1X day | 7/6/2010 | 4 | asthma, allergies | headache, hallucination, insomnia, irritability, anxiety/paranoid | I'm 15 years old, and I've been taking Singulair since late February of this year, so about 4 months. My asthma and allergy symptoms seemed to have almost disappeared, but just recently, I've had headaches, and I've been irritable and moody according to my mom. After reading these posts, I've discovered that some weird things I've been experiencing may be linked to taking this medication. I've had weird hallucinations, in which I've been seeing and hearing things that aren't there. At first I thought it was just because I was tired and/or dreaming, but reading these other experiences, I'm starting to think otherwise. I don't think these symptoms are bad enough to quit taking it, but its starting to worry me a bit. I've told my mom about all the posts I've read on here, and that I've been experiencing many of them, but she think I'm just a hypochondriac. Any suggestions or anyone with similar symptoms? | F | 15 | 4 months | 6/26/2007 | 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 | 2 | seasonal asthma from allergies | depression, mood swings, anxiety | I took Singulair last year when i was 14, and it was a 5mg pill. I had a lot of anxiety and ADD like symptoms, i couldn't focus in school and my grades had a drastic drop. The anxiety and depression like moods would switch off, where I could go from being running around anxious one second to sitting just wanting to be by myself the next. This year I'm now 15, and so the dosage was upped to 10mg. I didn't know this, and so I started taking it again hoping there would be no side effects. It was so much worse this time, I started having panic attacks and crying spells and wouldn't know what to do with myself. Singulair does help with my allergy and asthma symptoms but I think I'm going to stop taking it because of the side effects. | F | 15 | 1 years | 5/3/2009 | 1 | allergies | depression insomnia anxiety panic | this drug is pure poison,passed out to small children who suffer from its effects,but the medical community turns a blind eye | M | 15 | 3 years | 2/25/2009 | 1 | asthma | anxiety, aggresive, insomnia, loss of motivation, mood swings | F | 15 | 10 years | 10/19/2009 | 1 | seasonal allergy | my son took his life after 17 days on this drug he went into a rapid depression and terrible anxiety attacks.The drug caused all of these side effects and none were listed on the pharmacy sheet.This drug should not be given to children or adolescent patients it is dangerous and needs to have the proper warnings! | This drug is no good and caused my sons death it is like giving poison or a psychological altering drug to a person | M | 15 | 17 days | 12/5/2007 | 1 | Asthma | loss of concentration, anxious,nightmares, wired, unreasonable, argumentative, stomach pains | same issue everyone else has had.

While taking this medicine I experienced deperession and anxiety, which in return caused my grades to suffer. I do not recommend this drug to anyone. | M | 15 | 9 months | 8/10/2006 | 1 | allergy | irrability, focus on suicide, self harm, change in mood, nose bleeds | We have a 16 year old son, who has no history of depression or unhealthy ways of coping. Started a downward spiral, we did not know what was going on. He could not explain it,"I don't know" Took him to counseling for help, they did not have an answer, or see something we couldn't. Read an article on singlair, and was outraged and shocked, never Knew there was a possible connection. Stopped the medication. Waited... THe next day, our son was back. Each day was brighter and brighter. Would not have believed it, unless lived it. Have it documented by counseling as well. Hoping to follow up with someone who can get the word out. Our son's life was saved, and we would like to help others. Thank you | M | 15 | 1 years 10mg 2X day | 6/12/2010 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | 1 MONTH AFTER DOSE INCREASE: auditory hallucinations, suicidal ideation, intrusive, disturbing and violent thoughts. Night terrors, death obsession, fear, OCD. | withdrawal from the drug is worse than the side effects while on it. THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED WITHDRAWAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. | M | 15 | 13 years 10 | 10/15/2019 | 3 | Asthma, Allergies | Depression, anxiety, a studder, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, fear, lonliness, mood swings, anger | I have taken Singulair my entire life. I wish I could have my childhood back without fear, without anxiety, without depression, I dont exactly know how this drug has helped me with my asthma, nor do I know if me as a person will be different if I ever get taken off of it. I fear I am who I am today beacuse of Singulair.a All I do is stress and fear everything, I even fear talking to people. I fear telling my doctor, if I get taken off the drug, will my asthma be controllable? Will I be a different person. Maybe I'll never know. I wonder who I would be today if I didn't have asthma, if I didnt have to take singulair. All I ever want is to be accepted by people but I fear there is no one on this earth as unfortunate as me. Every day I contemplate suicide, I fear it so much I con't do it. | M | 16 | 16 years 10mg 1X day | 12/2/2011 | 1 | Allergy induced asthma | My 16 year old daughter took the pill and the very next day she was over the top angry, aggressive and full of rage. | She was put on singular on a Wednesday and I took her back to the doctor on Monday and they immediatly took her off singular. I did not make the connection immediately but her behavior made me take a second look at the presicription side effect label from the pharmacy. | F | 16 | 5 days 30mg 1X day | 5/5/2011 | 1 | To prevent reaction to allergy shot | SEIZURE | My daughter took this once the night before going for her weekly allergy shots. I woke up to her have a seizure while taking a shower. First time ever seizure and never and no neurological history. Do not give so quickly. Read all side effects! | F | 16 | 1 days | 8/27/2006 | 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 | Asthma, environmental allergies | severe depression, weight gain, irratability | this drug did not work for anything, i still got respritory colds, bad allergies, and the mental effects werent worth it, even if i cured the asthma and allergies | F | 16 | 3 months | 11/5/2009 | 1 | Asthma | This drug caused nightmares/night terrors, hallucinations, suicidal thinking, aggression & extreme anxiety to the point my son would not leave the house. After 3 years off, he still suffers severe anxiety & sleep problems. | It worked well for asthma but the neuropsychiatric side effects were horrific. Would not recommend it especially as some side effects last long after stopping. | M | 16 | 2 years 10mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma | My son started taking singulair when he was very young. I took him off of it for a while but his asthma flared up. He started back on it and he began to get depressed, moody, and was waking up hearing screams. He also heard someone calling his name and said he felt something touching him. He had anxiety and didnt understand what was happening to him. I spoke to his Dr. and they said to keep giving it to him. Thank goodness I didn't listen He has been off of it about one month and the side effects have decreased but aren't completely gone. I would never use this med It needs to be off the market. | M | 16 | 0 years 10mg | 6/18/2017 |
