| 3 | asthma due to stress and dog allerg | Dreams, sadness, anxiety, bad lower back pain, jaw pain, extremely tire during first few weeks of usage | Worked well at decreasing my asthma and nasal congestion symptoms due to dog allergy but not worth the joint pains (back, jaw and knees) | F | 44 | 2 months 10mg | 3/21/2016 | 3 | Allergies/flushing | Deep muscle aches, joint pains, muscle cramps, pronounced weakness, poor coordination, mental 'fog', bruising. | Darn stuff works like a charm. I was THRILLED to have found it, nothing helps like this does. But the side effects have become too much -- they have taken over and I've got no quality of life on the stuff. Too bad, for me. | F | 44 | 2 months | 9/4/2007 | 2 | Asthma | Nightmares/ night terrors, insomnia, depression, anxiety, irritability, suicidal thoughts, cramps, tremors, dry mouth, sore throat, headache, | It did do wonders for my asthma, so I stopped and restarted it several times. When I stopped, the side effects went away, but returned as soon as I restarted. | F | 44 | 1 years 10mg 1X day | 2/12/2014 | 2 | post pneumonia asthma | I am agitated, cannot sleep, worked on the coughing but caused me to feel very weird, I just don't like it...not taking anymore. | F | 44 | 3 days 10 1X day | 4/24/2015 | 1 | Allergies | I have done nothing but cry and feel anxiety attacks for the past few weeks. Plus tremors and I haven't slept a decent night in over a week. I suddenly remembered a comment my Dr made when he prescribed it. "It might cause depression...but it is rare." I didn't expect any side effects because I rarely have problems with medications...but I think what I am experiencing is a side effect of this med. I cannot remember feeling so sad and hopeless in years...and the anxiety attacks are awful. I'm done taking this pill...back to benedryl for me. | F | 44 | 3 months 10 MG | 1/24/2016 | 1 | Acute rhinitis | Depression, thoughts about death, anxiety, sweats, heart pounding to just name a few! I know it is this drug as I didn't have ANY of these symptoms before I took that one pill. I am so glad I found this site. I thought I was loosing my mind. I will never take it again. | F | 44 | 1 days | 3/9/2014 | 1 | na | No, it is not the substance for sweetness - Singulair causes all the symptoms and more in some people, regardless of the type of dosage. Please visit parentsforsafety.org for more information. | F | 44 | 0 days | 2/18/2009 | 1 | Allergies | anxiety,mood swings,severe depression, severe crying episodes,parnoia,insomnia, irritability,inpatient | I began taking this medication for allergies. It took me a few days to figure out what was going on. I have been taking the same anti-depressant for 16 years and all of the sudden it was not working. Could not figure out what the problem was. One morning I was trying to figure out what was different and this medication was the only new med I was taking. I quit taking it and the symptoms began to subside and I have been off of it for 2 weeks and feel like a different person. I would recommend anyone talking to their doctor about any of these symptoms you are having. I am so glad I found this site. I thought I was loosing my mind! The brochure that you receive with the prescription did not have any of these side effects listed! | F | 44 | 1 months | 5/3/2009 | 1 | Rhinitis | Lethargy, grogginess, buzzing in head, dizziness, horrible ringing in ears, poor sleep. | I took only 2 pills and felt like I had been drugged. I would sleep for 1.5 to 2 hours, wake up, then sleep again. In the morning, I almost couldn't get out of bed. The head buzz was awful. I have a permanent ringing in the ears but it was about triple the normal volume. I took my pills in the evening. The day after my second pill, I eventually got enough strength to start exercising in an attempt to get the drug out of my system. It pretty much worked. It is now 2 days beyond that and I seem to be back to normal. Unfortunately, my rhinitis is coming back along with its attendant problems. It's too bad because the Singulair actually removed all of my rhinitis for those 2-3 days. However, it is not worth the side effects as they make me feel worse than my condition does in the first place. | M | 44 | 2 days | 7/17/2007 | 1 | 1 | itchy legs ,sore legs mood swings, anxiety,agitation,hopelessness, oveheating | our son took it for 17 days and took his life after 2to 3 days of incredible anxiety he was a happy healthy boy had a physical for football and the doctor suggested he try it for seasonal allergies.We have reported it to FDA He was 15 years old and this drug took his mind | M | 44 | 17 days | 9/12/2007 | 1 | asthma/allergies/sinus problems | I have experienced headaches,weight gain,and severe swelling in both feet and ankles. My supervisor at work asked me if I had broken my left foot and not known it. My knees are also swollen and I have started experiencing lower back pain. | As seems to be the case, my allergist does not feel the Singulair is the problem. I stopped taking all meds because I could not get into my shoes because of the swelling. | F | 44 | 5 weeks | 5/15/2007 | 1 | M | 44 | 1 days | 5/31/2012 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma | After 4 days I felt as if I became extremely aggressive, agitated at everything and everyone, verge of losing patience at everyone, for no reason at all. This is not how I behave at all. Scary. Scary. Stay away from this drug. Also had insomnia, and even with a prescription sleeping pill had trouble sleeping, heart racing. awful. | This drug is the worse drug I have ever been prescribed. Awful experience. | F | 44 | 4 days 10 1X day | 8/11/2013 | 1 | Rhinitis | I am in the UK and was given this drugby my allergist. After taking it for 4 weeks, I began to feel very depressed and asked my allergist if I could stop it. She was quite bullying and insisted I stay on it, which I did. The last 5 months have been sheer hell! I needed emergency care from my GP after becoming suicidal (so bad that I was almost institutionalised for my safety), and was also now having varicella spots breaking out on my arms and side. My GP told me to stop the drug IMMEDIATELY! No amount of rhinitis symptom relief is worth the sheer hell I. have been through on this drug! | F | 44 | 5 months 10mg | 8/19/2013 | 1 | Chronic Rhinitis | This is by far the scariest med I have ever taken. On the positive side, it did give a minor improvement to sinus and bronchial congestion, but the side effects were enormous: headaches, nausea, strange adrenaline rushes, muscle cramps/aches, insomnia, OCD, major depression, and probably 5-10 more I can't remember. After describing my symptoms to my GP, he told me to stop it immediately and throw the rest away. I did and guess what: all the problems stopped within about 1-2 days. As I said...scary. | M | 44 | 3 months 10 mg? 1X day | 2/10/2011 | 1 | asthma | I posted a rating earlier this week about feeling depressed, anxious and even suicidal while on this medicine. I have not taken the medicine for 3 days and the suicidal thoughts are completely gone. The last 2 nights I slept through the night instead of waking up numerous times. I am so glad I am off this medicine. | My brother-in-law has taken Singulair for quite a while now and has not had any bad side effects. So it does work for some people. | F | 44 | 2 months 10mg 1X day | 7/9/2010 | 1 | asthma | I was not to tell any difference in my asthma. However, my thoughts and emotions were greatly affected. I have been having suicidal thoughts and even planning it. I have been having terrible mood swings. I snap at the least little thing. I am glad I finally realize it's this medication. | F | 44 | 2 months 10mg 1X day | 7/6/2010 | 5 | For my asthma | none | Have had severe asthma all of my life. I was on a ton of other old-school asthma drugs at very high doses before taking Singular. Now all I take is 10mg at night. I am symptom free. | F | 45 | 9 years 10mg 1X day | 4/7/2010 | 5 | Athsma/Allergies | No side affects. I don't have mood swings or nightmares. Nothing. | I started taking singulair because I would get so sick and my nasel congestion due to allergies 2x a year (fall/spring). What a difference. It's like I never get "colds" anymore. I used to feel I had a cold all year long, but after singulair I have no more colds. It's great! My life has changed. I used to loose my voice completely, and I have it all the time now. People should know that my allergies get worse with humidity/heat. When it's cold and very little humidity, I'm great. Unfortunately I still live where it is very humid. I also take claritin D with my singulair. I NEVER have to use my inhalers anymore!! These are the ONLY 2 drugs I take. If I forget to take them, I start with head aches and nasel congestion. Even people at my work notice if I forget to take them. I should mention that I get very tired if I DON"T take these meds. It's hard to breath without singulair and I get very tired. I'm definately more awake and alert. I have year-around allergies and exersiesed induced athsma. I'm also dyslexic. | F | 45 | 10 years 10 mg 1X day | 10/28/2011 | 5 | Asthma | Allergy testing came back negative but when I kept having cold weather induced asthma my doctor wanted me to try this. I'm already on symbicort & was doing good except cold weather. Well, the montelukestat helped it completely. We had a very cold winter this year & I was totally fine outdoors. Also I don't have any of the side effects some people mentioned, I feel great!!! | F | 45 | 9 months 10 mg | 2/19/2017 |
