| 1 | Allergies/Asthma | Feelings of anger, depression,distance, exhausted, lack of focus and concentration. | On/Off 2 yrs. Only take when asthma really bad-(it is a "tempting drug" works wonders for asthma. Side effects horrendous. Took because Pro-Air which is all I can get now - does not seem to work real well replaced Albuterol because of the harm to the ozone layer - RIGHT. I am Coming off 5 mg. 1/2 pill 48 hrs. now sneezing again, but can't sleep but exhausted. Like crashing from an illegal drug. Take your little ones off this drug immed. if you see any symptoms in their personality. They may not be able to communicate what they are feeling. Merk should be sued. SINGULAIR IS A DANGEROUS DRUG. and expensive too. | F | 51 | 2 years | 1/6/2009 | 1 | constant allergies | Extreme rage, inability to focus, profoundly upsetting nightmares/dreams | Took this once. Just once. I have been on allergy meds for years and never experienced this kind of reaction, or any reaction really. My adult brother was very scared for/of me, and we just talked on the phone. Lucky for me I took it on a day off or who knows what would have happened. This took a couple of days to get out of my system. Will never take it again. | F | 51 | 1 days | 4/9/2009 | 4 | Asthma | Outstanding product for me - rarely use rescue inhaler after living on one for 20 years! - maybe very slight depression but not sure if related to Singulair - maybe moody - just me I think! | M | 52 | 4 years | 4/20/2005 | 3 | chronic sinusitis/allergies | fatigue, lethargy, muscle weakness | I have been taking it for a week at bedtime. It does reduce allergy symptoms but does not work well enough to make up for the drawbacks. Although I yawn quite a bit through the morning, I generally do okay until mid-afternoon, when the real fatigue hits and I have trouble dragging through the rest of the day. This is upsetting because I've always been an active person. I am going to stop taking it as of today because of this. | F | 52 | 8 days | 7/7/2006 | 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 | 2 | severe rhinitis, post nasal drip | RAPID WEIGHT GAIN, bloated feeling, lethargy, loss of mental clarity, mild or occasionally moderate depression and anxiety. | Singulair was prescribed, along with Nassonex (mometasone) to treat severe chronic rhinitis, as an alternative to continual use of pseudephedrine. Things went OK for the first three months, after which I experienced an increase in lethargy, moodiness/mild depression, loss of concentration, moderate anxiety, muscular weakness, and weight gain. I did not notice much relief for the rhinitis (an issue because I cannot mouth-breathe, and end up hypoxic) - in fact, I had to go back to decongestant nasal sprays, most especially at night, and gained more relief from regular twice-daily use of a NeilMed nasal rinse than from SIngulair. More recently, I've had a constant feeling of being bloated, especially in the hands and feet, and mental "fuzziness" similar to that which many people experience with antihistamines. All of these have been increasing. The weight gain was 12 pounds in 4 months. -- Other medications (used for a very long time with excellent result and no side effe | M | 52 | 8 months | 11/3/2007 | 2 | allergy & exercise induced asthma | Dreams, interrupted sleep, concentration problems, feeling gloomy, feeling disconnected, lack of caring, thoughts of dying, muscle and joint pain. | Though my breathing difficulties and chest tightness did improve with this medication, the side effects started right away and worsened quickly each day. I was willing to keep taking it to see if side effects might subside, but on day 4 the muscle and joint pain during and after exercising was excruciating. I apparently just cannot tolerate this drug. | F | 52 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 1 | COPD and Asthma | Extreme Anger all the time. Was never able to stop feeling mad., became abusive towards my wife, which is totally opposite for me. felt like I had hate in my heart and also became very selfish. Blood pressure ALWAYS higher than before. Insomnia that even sleeping pills couldn't cure. | M | 52 | 9 months | 5/15/2013 | 1 | For Asthma | I am an Australian woman in my early 50's. I was prescribed Singulair by my doctor about 2 years ago. I have suffered from severe depression, nausea, muscle aches and pains, aggression and the list goes on...... I have asked my doctor about these problems over the last 2 years and she says "I'm menopausal". I have just read an article in a magazine about the shocking side effects of Singulair and this product should be taken off the market immediately. | Because of the dangerous side effects of this drug, no doctor should be prescribing this medication to children. I have stopped taking Singulair about 3 weeks now and I feel like my old self again. My asthma is bad and I'm allergic to all puffers but I'm not depressed anymore and that's a blessing. | F | 52 | 2 years | 6/23/2008 | 1 | allergies | Upper respiratory infection; abdominal pain | Worked well for allergies, but side effects were not worth benefits. | F | 52 | 14 days | 9/5/2005 | 1 | asthma | coughing throut hurt along with my one ear,headach | F | 52 | 7 days 10 mg. 1X day | 7/15/2011 | 1 | Yes | Hot flashes cold flashes mood swings cranky Light had can’t sleep constantly awake either too hot or too cold | F | 52 | 29 days 4 | 9/20/2018 | 1 | Allergies | Severe mood swings and agitation. Headaches and fogginess. Runny nose | Terrible! Not advised on side effects | F | 52 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 12/9/2020 | 1 | allergies/asthma | severe stomach pain, vomitting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, mental confusion, brain fog, memory issues, word retrieval issues, depression, lack of empathy, no desires(sexual and physical touch), isolation, fatigued, no sleep, nightmares, and hopelessness. | Do not take this medicine!!!! It changes your quality of life and you don't even know why or how it happened. I found out when I was checking singulair's interaction with supplements I was going to take to help with my brain issues and found this site and saw the same symptoms happened to other people. I have since stopped this med and in 2 days my brain issues started improving in addition I'm happy again....... | F | 52 | 8 months 10 1X day | 11/5/2020 | 5 | asthma | None. | This drug gave me my life back. I was in a clinical trials study for it over 20 yrs ago, and have been on it ever since. A wonderful side-effect was the lose of all allergy symptoms as well. | F | 53 | 10 years 10 mg | 4/26/2016 | 5 | asthma | at first, i had strange dreams, but not nightmares. i have not noticed any other side effects except good ones..this helped remarkably with stuffy nose, runny nose etc. It cured my sudafed addition. and it worked great for my asthma. it works much better than any inhalor i ever tried. | i have had hip bursitis problems the past year. no idea if related to singular ..thats why i came out to this website. i always take mine in the morning. instructions said to take at night, but i switched due to the vivid dreams, no issues once i swithed to taking it in the day... | F | 53 | 2 years 1X day | 2/16/2015 | 5 | Asthma and Allergies | None that I am aware of | Helps, along with some other meds. I take to keep symptoms minimized. | M | 53 | 3 years 10 MG 1X day | 12/7/2010 | 5 | asthma | Bad breath. But it's the only long term med that helps my asthma and allows me to sleep horizontally. Steroids inhaled were worthless and a huge waste of money. | F | 53 | 3 years 10 | 9/5/2012 | 3 | asthma | Increased anxiety; depression; heart palpitations; nightmares;stomach aches | F | 53 | 6 months | 4/7/2009 | 3 | to control inflammation from asthma | insomnia, weight gain, hot flashes | although I didn't have any flairups with my asthma, this drug was not worth all the side effects. I gained weight tremendously fast in the belly area. Also under my arms and chest area. I had no idea that it was this drug causing this. | F | 53 | 4 months 1X day | 8/20/2015 |
