| 5 | for severe asthma | None that I know of.Am tired during the day but not sure if that is due to Singulair. Will taking it at night decrease its effectiveness during the day? | I take Pulmicort every morning but was using Maxair, the rescue inhaler, as often as 12 times EVERY DAY and sometimes more often. Since taking Singulair for the past few years, I use the rescue inhaler maybe once a month, often less! Singulair has greatly improved my life. | F | 64 | 4 years | 3/13/2006 | 5 | severe asthma | None | It has changed my life for the better. I can now breathe and be active, walk, play golf etc. I was steroid dependent prior to taking Singulair. It has been a miracle drug for me. | F | 64 | 11 years 10 mg 1X day | 4/12/2010 | 5 | Seasonal asthma | None | Wonderful medicine. Totally erased my seasonal asthma. I can now breathe! | M | 64 | 1 months 10 MG 1X day | 5/25/2013 | 4 | asthma | Had headaches at first but after about 5 days they went away Sinus inflammation | Regular use of singulair keeps me from having to use my rescue inhaler as often. It reduces my lungs' reaction to triggers that usually bring on an asthma attack. I do think it causes my sinuses to be slightly inflamed most of the time but it's a good trade-off. | 64 | 10 years 10 1X day | 10/11/2017 | 3 | Asthma | I have been taking Singulair for 15 days. For the past 10 days, I have noticed that I often have strange headaches and constipation. Also, I no longer sleep soundly and often wake up around 1:30 am. I have not had any mood changes or nightmares. But, the wear and tear of constipation and sleep deprivation will soon become intollerable and I will ask my doctor to take me off this medication. | Singulair has done a great job in helping reduce my asthma symptoms. But, I don't think I will be able to tolerate it over the long term. | M | 64 | 15 days 10 mg/day 1X day | 10/4/2011 | 3 | Asthma | My Asthma went away but I developed bladder or urthethra spasams. As soon as I went off the Singulair the spasms went away. I'm wondering if the medication brought it on? The Urologist could not find a reason for my pain and discomfort. It was really hard to endure for 3 months! | I wonder if anyone else has had similar symptoms? | F | 64 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 2 | Allergic asthma, chronic rhinitis | Restlessness and irritability, mood change (frequent feelings of anger), nausea, mild swelling of lips and tongue, sudden fatigue/sleepiness. | Began taking Sigulair because of allergy induced bronchitis and chronic rhinitis. Also took Asmanex. Within a couple of days the bronchitis cleared up, breathing improved and the nasal symptoms improved. Stopped coughing and sneezing, reduced itchy eyes and nose. Almost immediately I experienced nausea and mild swelling of lips and tongue. After a week I began to notice sleepiness, fatigue, and irritability. Stopped taking the Asmanex. After two or three weeks I noticed that I felt a pervasive sense of anger and sometimes sudden rage in addition to the other symptoms. I am rarely angry and almost never rageful. I have decided to stop taking Singulair even though it has really helped me. | F | 64 | 4 weeks | 3/4/2007 | 2 | Allergies | It does help with PND. But the side effects of the tingling and numbness are just not worth taking it. It also makes you feel like you are choking and gives you an extremely dry mouth and throat. | F | 64 | 30 days 1 1X day | 8/8/2015 | 1 | asthma | pins and needles, especially facial; pain in fingers, feet and knees (worst in knees) | F | 64 | 5 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/1/2015 | 1 | Asthma | Very tired and dizzy.Falling asleep throughout the day. Got up dizzy, fell breaking my wrist and foot. | F | 64 | 7 days 10mg. 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 1 | sinus infections/allergies | Since starting 4 months ago, my shoulders and upper body muscles have become so terribly painful that I can barely turn over in bed. I also have a dry cough. | I do think it helped with my allergies | F | 64 | 4 months | 2/24/2007 | 1 | general allergic reaction | Knee pain that made me fear having a tumor in my knee, arthritis or a knee injury; gross water retention after a week | Instead of reducing inflammation, it caused pain so severe in the knee that it hurt to walk | F | 64 | 15 days 39 1X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | Allergic rhinitis | Shortly after starting this drug, I developed a rash on my arms and legs. My eyelids became puffy and felt as if a rash had developed on the inside. I attributed the problems to my working in the yard, so I focused on taking the Singulair more regularly, as my NP had advised when she gave me samples. I also began to feel mildly nauseated. My problems got really bad on Mother's Day and the next day when I had to leave work because of the nausea. I finally realized that taking Singulair was the only real medication change I had made in the past month, so I called my allergist to ask if the rash and nausea could be side effects. They said yes, told me to stop taking it, and to take an antihistamine. I still feel miserable. | F | 64 | 30 days | 5/14/2009 | 1 | Chronis sinusitis and Asthma | sadness,mood swings | I thought the enveloping sadness and sudden mood swings were a sign of aging until reading an article from a Canadian medical research team that indicated that those same symptoms were often side effects of Singulair. | F | 64 | 1 years | 3/31/2008 | 5 | Asthma | none | You have to make sure you follow directions and take every night. | F | 63 | 15 months | 12/8/2002 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none | wonder drug for me, for my whole life i stayed inside during the late summer until it frosted. singulair is the ONLY medication i have ever taken that has worked for me | M | 63 | 5 years 1X day | 6/2/2013 | 4 | excercise induced asthma | extreme fatigue,unexplained depression, mood swings | M | 63 | 6 months | 7/3/2006 | 2 | Allergic rhinitis, TMD | Extreme lethargy, dry mouth, sleepiness, depressed mood, increased appetite, weight gain. | Does get rid of backdrip for a few hours, but it quickly returns. The downside is barely being able to function or stay awake. If you suffer from mild depression, this will make it much worse. I was on it for 2 days and gained 2 pounds. If I'm willing to put up with the weight gain, Benadryl works much better. | F | 63 | 2 days | 3/14/2016 | 1 | Chronic Cough/Bronchitis | Loss of appetite, nausea, couldn't fall asleep,lay awake for hours,very anxious/hyper, changes in breathing pattern, faster heart rate,palpitations. | This drug has way too many side effects. Would rather cope with my cough than all these other maladies. Will not take again. Pharmacist & Dr should be more aware & warn people. I suffer with anxiety & depression already; this drug made it 10 times worse. | F | 63 | 4 weeks 10 1X day | 2/8/2016 | 1 | Asthma | Dizziness, loss of muscle strength in legs and back, overall pain in joints and headache daily. Well I could breath better but what a cost....plus insomnia, sleeping every 3rd day. No more. | F | 63 | 4 weeks 10 mg. | 3/11/2013 |
