| 2 | 2 yr old son's sinus problems | At 4mg doseage, seems more active and aggressive, less satisfied, less able to "play nicely with others", hard time getting to sleep - stops taking naps | Reported this at various times to doctor (son has only taken it for a few days at a time). Raised eyebrows from both nurse and doctor at our concerns and we were told that the medicine is pretty much the best thing available and definately doesn't cause these side effects. Trying to decide whether to follow recommendation to split doseage and try again. | F | 37 | 3 days | 9/26/2006 | 2 | Asthma | Continuous stomach ache, nausea, didn't feel like eating, leg pain, easy to cry, sad, constantly said she wanted her stomach pain to go away. | Our five year old daughter has taken Singulair for just over a month. I was going to call the Dr. because of her constant stomach ache (my husband and I originally thought she was nervous about school, swim lessons, something), but when her aches started every weekend, we knew something wasn't right and she wasn't just "nervous." She has had these symptoms for one month (almost exactly the same time she started Singulair) and luckily a lightbulb went off in my head to check the Singulair side effects. Are we ever so happy to see this website. Effective immediately, we are stopping the medicine. It did help her ashtma conditions, but these negative side effects outweigh the benefits. Thank you so much for this useful information! | F | 37 | 42 days 1X day | 2/8/2011 | 2 | Allergies | Higher blood pressure never had issues before this med!! | Worked grat for allergies though I rather suffer allergies then take bp meds | F | 37 | 2 months 10 mg | 5/28/2016 | 2 | Allergies | Higher blood pressure never had issues before this med!! | Worked grat for allergies though I rather suffer allergies then take bp meds | F | 37 | 2 months 10 mg | 5/28/2016 | 2 | Allergies | Side stitches/pain on my left side, heart palpitations, increased resting heart rate, diarrhea, sinus congestion, becoming more aggressive, less patient, odd muscle and joint pains | I'm sure this works for someone but not for me. I also take levothyroxine and ortho cyclen along with zyrtec, flonase and daily multivitamin and pre/probiotics | F | 37 | 3 days 10mg 1X day | 12/2/2021 | 2 | Asthma | Extreme vaginal dryness, pain in upper left thigh, my typical patience is non existent, crazy dreams, and pelvic pain. | Helped asthma, but I rather take my inhaler. I had no idea this Med caused pelvic/vaginal issues. Wish I was told of these side effects. Do not take if you have pelvic pain! So angry with my dr. | F | 37 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 9/27/2021 | 1 | Asthma and allergies | Hair loss (half of it) Extreme Fatigue Anxiety Trouble sleeping or feeling rested | F | 37 | 3 months 10mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma due to allergies | Moody, depressed, anxiety. Couldn't focus. LEG CRAMPS! I thought I was going insane. Extremely weird dreams. Short of breath. I found this site to see if the leg cramps were a side effect and discovered that Singular was probably the reason for everything else too! My 11 year old son was on it also, and he was having bad dreams and acting very excitable all the time. | It helped my asthma really well week until week 8 and I started feel short of breath. | F | 37 | 60 days | 5/2/2007 | 1 | seasonal allergies; asthma | Prescribed for allergies and slight asthma by our pediatrician for our 5 yr old son. He started acting like a completely different boy-temper tantrums where he would scream and cry uncontrollably-he had such a wild look in his eyes. He became violent and once hit me and bit his older brother. He said he didn't understand why he was so angry or crying so much. He also became afraid of the dark and wanted to sleep with the light on. After 2-3 weeks I couldn't take the emotional rollercoaster anymore. His mood would change so rapidly all I could think of was Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde at which point I remembered the news report that the FDA was investigating the connection between singulair and teen suicide. I decided to check for other side effects too. When I found this website it was like reading about my own son's erratic behavior. I just wanted my sweet boy back and I got him back within a week of being off singulair-the difference was amazing. I just wish doctors would infor | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 6/20/2008 | 1 | asthma | Couldn't stand inhaling it, hurt my lungs and made me not feel right. | isn't there a law suit about this drug right now???? | F | 37 | 1 days | 5/8/2008 | 1 | Allergies | I experienced weight gain, libido loss, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts(which I've never had before), apathy, angst, distraction, forgetfulness, hate and anger. It severely messed with my marriage and ability to be a good mother. I became unable to function normally. This is the drug from hell. | F | 37 | 3 months 10 mg | 8/31/2013 | 1 | asthma/allergies | Both of my children were on this medicine. It did not help either. My 11 yr old started having lots of emotional outbursts, crying easily, anger at small things. A totally different kid. I did some research and found that common in children taking Singulair. He stopped taking it and within a couple of weeks things were getting better. | You are your childs advocate. Don't always go with the first thing a Dr. tells you. Do research, listen to other peoples stories. If you notice changes in your child, talk with their Dr., if they arn't supportive of your concerns find someone who is. Good luck. | F | 37 | 5 months | 5/3/2007 | 1 | allergies | daughter was very physical, hitting, biting, yelling - a very unhappy child. 180 degree turn around after stopping this medicine, went back to her happy self. Would not recommend this drug AT ALL to ANYONE. I regret giving it to my child. | F | 37 | 2 years | 8/6/2008 | 5 | Chronic sinus infection, | None | My 7 year old daughter has been on singulair for chronic sinus infections and post nasal drip for about a year. It has helped her greatly, and the symptoms return as soon as she stops the Singulair. I can't help thinking that many of these so called side effects that parents are seeing are merely behavior issues. As a teacher, I often hear parents blaming medication for their child's behavioral issues. These parents may want to look beyond the medicine to see if there are other reasons for their child's issues. | F | 36 | 1 years | 2/17/2008 | 5 | asthma | None at all | I switched from Advair (which made me angry, agressive, have nightmares, have crying fits) and found that Singulair was a dream come true. I have had no side effects, I sleep like a baby with no drowsiness the next day, and I can finally walk the stairs! I noticed where another person had sores in him mouth...I did as well, but it turned out to be a viral infection and not associated with the Singulair at all. | F | 36 | 6 months | 12/13/2005 | 5 | Asthma | None | This has been a 'miracle' drug for me. I spent my entire childhood and early adulthood struggling to breathe. Now, with Singulair, it's like I don't have asthma. I can do anything without any asthma problems. | F | 36 | 14 years 10mg 1X day | 3/8/2011 | 4 | alleriges | sleepy if taken during the day for me. | i can tell if i stop it because my allergies act up again. | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 1X day | 6/3/2011 | 4 | Allergies | Vivid dreams but nothing horrible. I guess it all depends on what skeletons are in your closet. | Seems to work fine. my 6 year old daughter has taken it with no side effects. As with all new medication theres a bit of anxiety about taking it. I see alot of bizarre psychological issues on this board like aggression and even masturbation but those sound more like behavioraly issues. Ive never seen a drug force someone to do anything any. Can it make you irritable ? sure, some may but Ive seen no side effect from it yet. | M | 36 | 1 months 10MG 1X day | 4/19/2010 | 4 | Allergies (runny nose & sneezing) | The first year I had none. However I recently clued in that the past 3 years of fighting itchy, dry skin is a side effect of this drug. I never thought it could be because I had no side effects the first year I was on it. It started my joints were itchy, then it developed into raised little bumps/hives, if you scratched it would leave little red dots on your skin for a day. My arms, waist and legs have dry scaley patches. It obviously got worst as time went on. My background is I have asthma and environmental allergies. | The itchy red dried skin took over my life and it is worst then having a constant runny nose and sneezing my head off. I loved this drug because it gave me a life again just wish I hadn't been so sensitive to the side effects. I went to a few specialist to help and again no one clued in that it was the drug I was taking. | F | 36 | 4 years 5 mg 1X day | 12/27/2012 | 4 | Asthma/allergies | Vaginal dryness | This is a wonder drug, it helped my asthma and allergies so much. I could breathe freely. HOWEVER, it dries me out completely, causing vaginal dryness, causing painful sex. I can't believe I"m the only one who has had this side effect. | F | 36 | 3 years | 6/24/2006 |
