| 5 | Frequent Sinus Infections/Asthma | Vivid dreams | I can breathe. For the first time in a long time I didnt wake up with a stuffy nose. | F | 41 | 7 days 10 MG 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 5 | asthma | none | This medicine is awesome. I am breathing better now than ever. It has increased my stamina greatly!!! I love it. | F | 41 | 6 months | 5/27/2009 | 4 | To control asthma symptons | singulair definitely helps with my allergy and asthma symptons. I did notice I had increased ear infections. What i have come to realize is that I have increased anxiety and mood swings. Family members commented on my mood swings and short temper. I stopped taking singulair for 3 months. Unfortunately my asthma symptoms reoccurred within a week and I had an increased use of my ventolin inhaler. However, my mood swings and anxiety returned subsided completely. Singulair works well in relieving asthma and allergies but it is not worth this side effect. | F | 41 | 4 years | 5/24/2009 | 4 | Asthma & Allergies | Possible Sinus infections, ear congestion | I have been on it for a year (previously for a 2 year period). I have been of the opinion that it was a "wonder drug" for my asthma and allergies. I've used my rescue inhaler once or twice since taking it, but for the past few months I have been having sinus and ear issues. I found this site as I was searching to see if this could be related. After reading the posts, I also have been feeling uninterested, a bit depressed and I already suffered from panic attacks - so I'm a bit concerned to see how many people complain of anxiety issues on it. I've also had mental fog - inability to complete sentences, and looking back at when this started was after going on this drug. I am going to go on a med holiday and see if things clear up and will report back. | F | 41 | 1 years | 3/19/2009 | 3 | asthma/ allergies | Noticed leg cramps first, then vivid and often scary dreams. Then angry, aggressive, defiant behaviours with increased social anxiety, difficulty getting to work (or anywhere) on time. I'm more easily frustrated. Tingling in extremeties. Lack of motivation. | I've been on Singulair for about a month, although I do not take it every night (I forget). At first I loved it b/c it made me sleepy; I have bouts of insomnia but cant take Ambien, etc. because those side effects are worse than Singulair. I'm not sure if I'm going to stay on it. It does really, really help my allergies, the best relief I've ever experienced. | F | 41 | 60 days 10MG 1X day | 11/16/2010 | 3 | Allergy related ashtma | My mouth has been getting dry, and vaginal dryness | F | 41 | 30 days 1X day | 9/25/2021 | 2 | for adult asthma | Within days of starting Singulair granules: full-body edema (swelling), feverish for 18 hrs after taking med, sweating in sleep, weird dreams, poor sleep, legs so swollen they would ache, gained 1 lb week of fluid per week, asthma worse due to boggy tissues, muscle aches & stiffness. In the 2-3 days after stopping, all side effects are resolving and I have been peeing out this extra fluid endlessly. | F | 41 | 21 days 8 mg 1X day | 5/22/2010 | 2 | Allergies | Migraines, nightmares, weightgain, constipation, irritability/hostility. | Not worth it. It did nothing for my severe allergies to dogs/cats/dustmites - taken during immunotherapy. | F | 41 | 1 months | 11/24/2006 | 2 | recurring bronchitis, allergies | heavy quick heart beat,severe headache, nausea, dizziness, trouble sleeping. | From the moment I took this drug I felt weird.Zyrtec was not helping anymore and I was getting chronic bronchitis from allergies. Singulair has helped my breathing and inflammation so much,I haven't had to do breathing treatments much since starting it.The thing is though I have to go off it because the side effects are too tough to handle.Anyone know of a medication that works just as well without the side effects? | F | 41 | 8 days | 4/27/2008 | 2 | Allergies | Did give me some relief with the internal swelling in my head and chest. Until the muscular cramping started. | M | 41 | 5 days 30 1X day | 12/3/2013 | 2 | allergic rhinitis | I started my 4 yrs old daughter on singulair 4 days ago. Since the first day she has shown extreme mood swings, leg pain and face rash. She also refuses to eat because she says all the food taste horrible. She used to be very happy and singing child but, with the medication she is shouting and crying most of the time. I stopped the medication for one day to corroborate, and she had an excellent day (singing and playing) but the runny nose returned. I gave the medication last night again and today I have an unhappy child again. No more singulair for her | F | 41 | 5 days | 6/24/2009 | 1 | Asthma and allergies | Gross edema (swelling) pain, Uncoordination and tremors. Mainly swelling. Still having it 5 days after stopping. It's significant though slightly better today (I've been taking Lasix to get rid of the swelling). I had a major work project (show) during this and I was swollen everywhere. Only had swelling twice in my life, both from allergic reactions. Three drs said this is not an allergic reaction but a side effect | F | 41 | 4 days Once a day | 5/1/2014 | 1 | Allergic asthma | I had fatigue; I took medication at night, but grogginess carries over into next day. Just wanted to sleep all day. Discontinued on 5th day. | F | 41 | 5 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/29/2010 | 1 | asthma | panic attacks, depression, irrational and extreme anger, mood swings, increased bleeding during periods, tremors, derealization, anxiety | I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone and it should be taken off the market, or Dr's should be strongly cautioned to try everything else first before prescribing it. | F | 41 | 35 days 10mg 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 1 | Asmtha | Anxiety, night terrors, depression, isolation | Side effects worsened over time. I would never let a child take this medication! | F | 41 | 4 years 5 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | Anxiety, Depression, suicidal thoughts, poor concentration, personality change. | I've never been depressed or had any kind of mental problems in my life. This past month has been strange and confusing. I'm very glad I put two and two together and realized it's this stupid drug making me lose my marbles. | M | 41 | 45 days 10 mg 1X day | 7/21/2015 | 5 | Allergy related asthma | None | Working great. I have cat and dust severe allergies which brings on asthma but these pills seem to be working wonderfully, touch wood!! | F | 40 | 2 weeks 10mg | 11/11/2015 | 5 | Severe Asthma & Angioedema | Within the 1st week, crazy vivid dreams. Then, after 3 months of consistently taking meds: insomnia (restlessness in bed, jumpy legs), severe irratibility (snapping at people over minor issues, total loss of patience), and scary agression (almost reached out & slapped someone in anger - i have never hit anyone in my life & rarely raise my voice). | This drug is a miracle for me, it was the only med to completely fix my severe recurring angioadema and athsma allowing me to return to work (in truth, to hold a job) and sleep at night without waking up b/c I couldn't breathe. I'm so saddened these side effects have started. I don't know what to do; no other medication has so effectively helped, but I can't imagine continuing with this severe change in my personality - it scares me and it's not fair to my family. | F | 40 | 3 months 10 1X day | 1/7/2013 | 5 | Asthma/allergies | Vivid dreams | A godsend for me! My breathing is SO much better; I didn't realize how bad it was until I started taking Singulair and felt the immediate difference. Have only had to use rescue inhaler three times since starting it. It doesn't eliminate my nasal allergies or itchy eyes completely (I take Zyrtec, as well, which does help), but I no longer have the constant low-grade sinus infection (no more yellow, um, boogers; no boogers at all, in fact), don't get sinus headaches anymore, and have noticed (oddly) that mosquito bites don't swell up like they used to. Wish I'd taken doctor's advice earlier to try Singulair. | F | 40 | 3 months | 7/18/2008 | 4 | uncontrolled asthma/allergies | I am having major mood swings.I could bite your head off and cry about it the next second.I thought it was just me.?I am SOO tired all the time,too.I am having WEIRD spasms and pains that I have never had before takng this.and I too am having a mental fog..I am glad to know this is not just me..thanks for this sight.I am afraid to quit taking it,though..because it seems like it is really helping..Oh man what to do.. | It is soo expensive too and no generic yet.. | F | 40 | 9 days | 3/26/2009 |
