| 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 | 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 | 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 | 5 | asthma | It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY, however, I can't get off it anymore without issues. I started taking it for occasional bad episodes, and would ween myself off it. However, now it seems like my lungs cannot breath well without it. Aside from that I consider it a miracle drug. It allows me to spend time, hours, in homes with cats. Truly a phenomenon for me. | F | 51 | 3 years 10 mg 1X day | 12/26/2015 | 5 | Asthma | No side effects at all on Singulair. Generics cause wheezing and allergies | This drug has changed my life. Half an hour after taking the first tablet, I actually felt my lungs opening up, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I don't think about my breathing. I can laugh, run, climb stairs, I've dropped my use of inhalers by half, and rarely need ventolin. The difference has been noticed by all my friends and colleagues. On the rare occasions I miss a tablet, I am wheezing within a few hours. Amazing, life changing drug. And although I didn't take it for allergic rhinitis/sinusitis, it has cleared that up too, and I have a sense of smell for the first time in eleven years. | F | 51 | 10mg 1X day | 12/16/2014 | 5 | Vertigo | None | I was having episodes of terrible vertigo. My doctor prescribed Singulair for me. I have COPD but take Advair for that. I'm not sure how this medicine works for vertigo for me, but it does. I stopped taking it for a few nights because I ran out. The vertigo came back. I will never stop taking this medicine it is a God send! | F | 51 | 8 months 30mg | 9/1/2019 | 5 | severe allergies | Panic Attacks, Severe Anxiety, Depression, Lack of focus,Mood swings. | Worked great for my allergies but the side effects were hellish,stope taking it and got back to normal after three days. Thank God! | M | 51 | 11 days 10mg 1X day | 3/17/2013 | 5 | asthma | none, zero, zip | It's a wonderdrug for my mild asthma. I have some allergies and also cold weather/exercise induced asthma. I used to have to use my inhaler after walking or shoveling snow in the winter, and before exercising every day year round inside. Since beginning this drug I have had to use an inhaler maybe 3 times when I have had a respiratory bug....that's 3 times over the last 12 years; as opposed to daily use of the inhaler prior to beginning this drug. Zero complaints!!! | F | 51 | 12 years | 10/27/2007 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | none | I've come to the conclusion that I must have had a mild form of asthma along with allergic rhinitis because within a day of taking Singulair my breathing, consequently my running, was significantly better. I took deeper breaths and had more endurance than ever before. It's amazing how one can exercise when you can breathe :) | F | 51 | 2 months | 7/7/2006 | 5 | allergies | None | This is like a miracle drug for me! I lived constantly with symptoms of chronic allergies: runny, stuffy nose; sinus headaches; chronic cough, etc. I've been taking Singulair for just about a year and have been 100% allergy-symptom free for all of that time. A+++++ | F | 51 | 1 years | 11/22/2006 | 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 | 3 | Asthma and allergies | Headaches and itching | It seems to help with my sinuses but I noticed everyday I get sinus headaches at the same time. Not sure if this is because of the medicine or not | F | 51 | 5 days 1X day | 8/23/2012 | 3 | allergies and sinus infection | Initially I went to sleep but awakened and couldn't sleep for hours | F | 51 | 4 days | 6/3/2014 | 3 | I have severe asthma | My feet were swollen have been off of it for 3 days still swollen. Hives all over my feet. | F | 51 | 5 days 1X day | 2/27/2015 | 2 | Allergies/asthma | After 8 days, I was experiencing stomach pains and mild diarrhea. After 10 days, I woke up with extreme abdominal pain. By midday of day 10 I had join pain, headache, chills......flu like symptoms. I was already concerned the Singulair might be causing the stomach issues, so I did not take it that night. I woke up in the morning feeling about 75% better. Just a mild stomach ache remained. I also had an eye appt that next day. During the glaucoma screen I pressented with high pressure readings which I had never had before. I looked it up and found there's a link to Singulair and Glaucoma. I have completely stopped taking this medication. | F | 51 | 10 days 10 mg | 3/26/2018 |
