I had been feeling increasingly tired, achy, irritable and fed up with life in general. I could not seem to concentrate at work and would make errors that I never made before. The swelling and itching and dryness was getting worse. I went to my GP and she told me I was going through menopause and was "depressed" and that I needed anti-anxiety meds. I refused to take the RX, and came home and started researching Singulair as I began to realize that the not feeling well had started the same year I was "diagnosed" with asthma. When I found this website, I knew I had to get off this drug. I have been off it for three weeks now, and I cannot believe how much better I feel already. I am praying that most of my symptoms will abate if I continue to clear my system of this drug.
