| 1 | Throat infection | Irritability Anger Depression Brain fog Confusion Feeling out of my body | This drug is horrible!!!!! I already have mental issues and I'm on meds and I have been stable for years on my meds. And this drug made me relapse so bad. | F | 31 | 5 days 10 1X day | 9/24/2020 | 5 | chronic sinitis,night time coughing | none | better than claritin,bendryl.no more night time coughing,its been just 5 days taking it and i feel great. | F | 32 | 5 days | 7/13/2009 | 4 | Asthma | Intolerence to any type of heat or humidity | I was diagnosed with asthma in December 2004. Through out my childhood I always developed bronchitis on a yearly basis so this did not shock me. My doctor is a lung specialist so I felt comfortable with his diagnosis. He tried me for 2 weeks on Advair which did nothing for the feeling like a rock was sitting on my chest. The next step was trying Singulair. I noticed an immediate improvement. No side affects at all. Since 2004, when I develop a cold, it always turns into a lung infection which requires me to go on predisone temporarily. One thing I have noticed since being on Singulair is that I have absolutely no tolerence for heat or humidity. I immediately get clammy and sweaty and have almost passed out on occassion when I have to be outside in those conditions. The only other medication that I am on is a 28 day birth control pill but have been assured by the pharmacist that there are no side affects between that and the Singulair. I have never had this type of reaction b | F | 32 | 2 years | 8/2/2007 | 4 | allegies and asthma | I take the medication at night. It makes me extremely sleepy. I have noticed a slight change in mood,I am a little more emotional and I have very vivid emotional dreams. | But at this point the improvement in both my asthma and allegies has been so significant that I will continue taking it. I would like to note that My doctor wants to wean me off in a few months to see how my body will do on it's own. Since I have almost no need for my rescue inhaler and I honestly feel better. I have been on lookout for the negative side effects since day one but so far so good. I seem to tolerate this medication quite well. | F | 32 | 37 days 10mg 1X day | 3/18/2011 | 3 | Allergies | Agitation, Irritability, Hypertension, Heartburn | Singulair worked better than anything else I've tried for allergies hands down; however after about a week I noticed that I was getting very agitated and irritable all the time, my blood pressure was suddenly about 20 points higher than normal, and I was getting constant low-grade heartburn. Taking Singulair was the only thing that had changed, so I stopped taking it and within a week was completely back to normal (albeit with allergies again). | M | 32 | 14 days | 8/8/2009 | 2 | Allergies | Hot flashes. Tingling sensation in my feet, arms and right side of face. Tightness of breath. Diziness and sharp headaches. Unable to focus. Anxious and just the general feeling that I was not myself. | M | 32 | 4 months | 4/10/2007 | 1 | seasonal allergies / sinus infectio | headache, hives, rash, trembling, fatigue | It seems as though I had an allergic reaction to an allergy medication - imagine that! I had an itchy rash that spread from my face to my scalp, neck, back and shoulders before good ol' Benadryl fixed it. I'd take this medication with extremem caution. | F | 32 | 14 days | 2/13/2007 | 1 | I just have to say that after reading all of these reviews...WHY WOULD A DR STILL PRESCRIBE THIS TO ANY CHILD????? This drug should be taken off the market!!! My friend has her son on this and as I am reading this it is exactly what she is telling me he is doing....This is absolutely insane...No mother or father should have to go through any of this...Singulair is NOT for children...As it shows in most all of these reviews that it affects the persons whole being...Seriously think long and hard before you put your child on this medication. | F | 32 | | 1/23/2009 | 1 | asthma symptoms for 4.5 year old | emotional, irritable, tantrums, crying over everything, angry, extreme hyperactivity | our pediatrician prescribed this for our daughter's mild asthma symptoms to be taken as needed. she was on it for 4 days and they were unbearable. it took me a while to put it together...i kept wondering what was going on. i did more screaming in those 4 days than i have done in her lifetime. she was completely out of control and angry about everything, throwing tantrums, and was completely disobedient. on the 4th day i called the dr. and asked if her behavior could be at all related to the medication and was told "absolutely not." i was not satisfied, so i searched and found 14 pages of people describing the same thing. i feel vindicated, but also very sad that i gave her this medication in the first place. it needs to be taken off the market for children. | F | 32 | 4 days | 9/19/2009 | 1 | asthma; wheezing, night cough | Nightmares. | I gave my son one pill. After he went to bed I searched for side effects. I saw all the terrible reviews and hoped for the best. I won't put him on steriods because he is very small for his age and I don't want his growth delayed. He woke up with nightmares all night. He whimpered and shook as he lay beside me sleeping. My heart broke. I'm so glad I knew this was a side effect so I could immediately stop giving it to him. We're looking into alternative treatment (traditional chinese medicine). | F | 32 | 1 days | 1/22/2010 | 1 | allergies | serious depression, and suicidal thoughts | took it for three months and couldn't figure out why I was so unhappy. have a great life and wrote that I wished I were dead one night. completely out of character. stopped using because I ran out, heard of the warning and stopped all together. depression and thoughts were gone within a week. allergies also not so bad either. | F | 32 | 3 months | 9/20/2008 | 1 | Asthma | joint pain, mood swings, weight gain, unexplained phobies | It took a lot of research and over a year to determine the side effects were from the medication as all the side effects were so different. eventually after many trips to sports medicine for my joints and the doctor for my unfounded new fears i traced everything back to the same time i started the medicine. ALL side effects were gone within 2 months of stopping use. Please, do not take this medicine. it is scary what it does to people. | M | 32 | 1.5 years 1X day | 3/24/2011 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma | Nervousness, inability to concentrate, emotional outbursts, mood swings, anger, depression, lower back ache, headache, waking up a few times a night, shooting pains in my feet, problems getting to sleep because my mind is racing. | I had a bad bout with asthma that led to pneumonia and was prescribed this to get things under control. It worked well to control the breathing problems but the side effects are not worth it! I saw the warning about depression on the pill bottle but didn't think much of it at first. Be careful taking this drug! | F | 32 | 40 days 10 MG 1X day | 11/16/2010 | 1 | allergies | This medicine should be banned. It caused panic,anxiety, confusion and depression. I woke up several times in the night with a racing heartbeat. | M | 32 | 28 days 1X day | 11/16/2010 | 1 | allergy/exercise induced asthma | weight gain/obsession with food, constipation/abdominal discomfort, extreme daytime fatigue and nighttime sleeplessness, itchy back and skin, vaginal dryness, trouble with contact lenses/eye dryness | None of my symptoms were listed in Rx package inserts. I had convinced myself that my symptoms were abstract...never connected to recently beginning Singulair until I found these posts! Don't second guess yourself, trust your instinct! This may not be the right Rx for some of us! | F | 32 | 3 weeks | 6/28/2006 | 1 | allergies/ashtma | My 2 yr. old nephew was on the med. for one month. He had extreme spells of irritability and nightmares, banging head on floor, hurting self, bloody nose, crying for hours and hours. Total change in personality. | VERY scary for entire family. It angers me that this company says this med. is safe for children. It is most definitely not, especially when it takes parents about 30 days or so to connect the dots. | F | 32 | 30 days | 5/3/2006 | 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 | 5 | asthma | very slight tremor in my hands sometimes | The slight hand tremor was the only side effect I noticed. Otherwise,I am very happy with it. | F | 33 | 5 years | 1/26/2010 | 5 | Severe dishydrosis, mild asthma | none | Singulair worked wonders for my dishydrosis. After almost two years of intense suffering I could finally walk without pain and use my hands again. I've been almost symptom free for over 12 months. | F | 33 | 14 months | 1/25/2008 | 4 | Chronic sinusitis | pins & needles in my hands and feet, anxiety | It really cleared my sinuses, and for the first time in years I can breathe in the morning. However, the side effects are not worth it, and I can't wait for my hands and feet to feel normal again. | F | 33 | 3 months | 9/8/2009 |
