| 1 | Asthma | Extreme irritability and tetchiness, mood swings, memory loss/forgetting words, hives, patches of eczema on eyelids, disturbed sleep, vivid dreams, depression. | Noticed some of the side effects but it took a while to join the dots. Very scary drug - frightens me to think of what children must go through when they experience these side effects. Very thankful that I have now discontinued use and will feel normal and happy again soon. | F | 27 | 40 days | 3/16/2006 | 5 | Chronic Rhinitus/Sinusitis | nasal drippage | I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I'm 26 years old and have suffered from sinus infections as long as I can remember for several times a year. These infections used to get so bad that I would get bloody nose several times a week as well. I used to be teased as I would carry a whole box of Kleenex with me to school. I haven't had a sinus infection in the 2 years that I have been on Singulair (10mg). It's heaven. I'm trying to get my dad on it as well. Having a slight runny nose is NOTHING compared to the pain that I used to be in. Thank you Singulair! | F | 26 | 2 years | 7/11/2005 | 5 | Asthma | No side effects. | I have taken this drug for asthma for 10+ Years and it's the easiest medicine to tolerate. Has never bothered me. | F | 26 | 10 years 10 MG | 6/25/2016 | 4 | asthma | I haven't noticed any side effects | Works alright, but I need additional medication to control my asthma. Advair's worked best for me. | F | 26 | 15 years | 11/16/2006 | 4 | asthma | I took Singulair for 3 years and have finally stopped it. I will say it did help, but the side effects were scary once I realized what the med was doing to me. At first, I thought there were no side effects and the medication DOES work very well for asthma. After 3 years, I finally realized that it caused panic attacks an anxiety. I also believe it has caused me to gain about 10-15 lbs. Once getting off, my body went through withdrawal (allergies flared up and I felt tired). I'm taking Allegra until those symptoms clear. Also, for you ladies out there, I really believe that my Loestrin (low dose birth control pill) is helping my breathing. We'll see what happens. | Works well, but has hidden side effects. | F | 26 | 3 years | 8/15/2007 | 3 | Asthma | I was on this drug for 18 years. Never had any side effects until the last two years. I had tremors for 2-3 years and doctors weren't sure why. Finally, last year, my doctor and I deduced that it might be from Singulair. I decided to stop taking this medication after being on it for 18 years. Within a few days, my tremors subsided. I have been off Singulair for a year now and I haven't had any tremors ever since. It is very strange that after 18 years, I developed tremors from this medication. | F | 26 | 18 years 10 mg 1X day | 10/19/2017 | 2 | Severe asthma | heart palpitations, anxiety, achy muscles, restless, awoke at night every hour, fear of the worst happening. | Asthma symptoms improved greatly, but side effects are intolerable. This is what it must feel like to do cocaine. Very upsetting to hear about the children that are having terrible side effects, heart goes out to you parents for your children. | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 7/13/2007 | 2 | asthma | night terrors, depression, anxiety, WEAKNESS, FATIGUE, headahces, abdominal pain, and ACID REFLUX (in all caps are the worst symptoms) | feel better on asthma, but i get bronchitis if I stop the medication; but its not worth all the symptoms | F | 26 | 2 years 30 mg 1X day | 9/22/2011 | 1 | asthma,allergies | my wife started taking singulair to control her asthma and allergies. at first she told me about her vivid nightmares. and i thought that was it. then i noticed her mood changes. last night she tried to kill her self and was telling me how depress she has been and how the world would be so much better with out her. why would this drug be put on the market. i'm sure after so many complaints another alternative has got to be created. or is it prescribed by doctors because the company that produces it gives them a piece of the profits? | this drug, does help control asthma and allergies, but the down side is that if patient taking it is left unattended, will probably attempt to commit suicide | F | 26 | 30 days 10 mg 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 1 | Asthma | Anxiety, racing heart, breathlessness, leg spasms | I take Singulair only as needed, and had recenlty taken it after not having taken it in a few months. All day I was short of breath. When I went to lay down to sleep that night, my heart rate skyrocketed. We went to the ER and my resting heart-rate was 180. I could barely talk and my legs were convlusing. The Dr said it was a caffiene induced anxiety attack. I didn't have caffiene or anything for 4 days. On the 4th day I took my singulair and the same thing happened when I laid down for bed that night. These attacks are scary. I was concrned I would go into cardiac arrest. I have never been so scared. My allergist discontinued my use if Singulair and said that anxiety attacks is a very rare side effect. Be warned, it is not inside your head, it is an actual reaction to the chemicals. | F | 26 | 2.5 years 10mg 1X day | 12/23/2010 | 1 | Asthma due to pet allergies | Hallucinations, obsessive thoughts | The first night I took this, I woke up yelling at my husband that I was coughing up blood. He flicked on the light and I was fine, but I couldn't shake the feeling. The exact same thing happened once every few days. Last night, I started having OCD thoughts about how I was bleeding out of my mouth. I was pacing back and forth, running to the bathroom to check on the "blood", waking up my husband to tell him I couldn't stop bleeding.. It was like I was on LSD. I spent two hours pacing back and forth, just seeing the "blood" that I knew wasn't actually there. It was the scariest thing in my entire life. I have never been diagnosed with any mental illness and have NEVER had anything like this happen. I am getting off this drug IMMEDIATELY! | F | 26 | 2 weeks 1X day | 12/25/2011 | 1 | Asthma | Panic attacks, suicidal thoughts which are out of character for me. | Asthma did improve. Psychological side effects too strong and scary. | M | 26 | 2 months | 1/12/2009 | 1 | terrible allergies and asthma | Works great for allergy and asthma syptoms, but after 1 pill (child 5mg) dose, I am anxious and have a hair trigger temper which is not normal for me at all. Luckily I am an adult and can see that it is definately without a doubt the Singulair, so I will not take it again. I have tried the adult 10 mg dose before and it caused me to have the same emotional problems, so my doctor thought the child dose may not be that bad, well I can tell you that it is. Please listed to your children if they are acting out, and try taking them off Singulair for a few days to notice a change. It is not worth the side effects. Does anyone recommend another allergy medicine that really works for chronic sinuitus? | The longest I could stand to take this drug was 14 days, and every day was worse than the last. | F | 26 | 14 days | 3/17/2009 | 1 | Asthma | Mood swing, depressed, severe joint pain, tendonitis, irritability, easily angered, crazy dreams, insomona, unable to function at times. | F | 26 | 3 years 10 | 9/24/2013 | 1 | Possible Asthma | Insane weight gain, I'm in the military and have to sustain a strict physical fitness and this is not possible while on Singulair, gained 12 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks, absolutely ridiculous. Also experienced gastrointestinal distress and bizarre dreams. | M | 26 | 18 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/6/2016 | 1 | Allergy/tingling cheeks | DO NOT TAKE THIS &#!@. Cant believe this crap is out there. I developed uncontrollable muscle twitching and pins an needles all over my body an aches everywhere not taking anymor of this crap. Twitching as I type this. | M | 26 | 2 weeks 10mg | 6/5/2014 | 5 | Severe allergies | None | I love singulair. It has saved my life. I'm severely allergic to dust mites, mold, cat and dog dander. I couldn't breathe at night. I was always wheezing and coughing. I could never go to my sisters house because she has 2 dogs and Every time I went my allergies would flare up and I would wheeze and sneeze . I take Zyrtec and singulair every night before bed and I just can't complain. I sleep well now! At first I did get strange dreams but never nightmares and the best thing is I can finally breathe!! I've not had any wheezing or sneezing episodes since then. | F | 25 | 6 months 10mg | 5/6/2015 | 5 | Asthma/Allergies | None | Completely unblocked my nose so I could breathe again. Asthma issues were gone, never had to use rescue inhaler. Helped tremendously with allergy issues. | F | 25 | 1 years 10MG 1X day | 1/18/2014 | 5 | Asthma | Nothing but good things. This has been a life changing drug on my part. I almost never have attacks, I can exercise and have lost 5 pounds already because i am able to exercise. I have a raised libido and have miraculously been in the greatest of moods. | My only worry is long term affects. I wonder if i will truly be able to not worry about my asthma for as long as i am on this medication. | M | 25 | 45 days 10mg 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 5 | asthma | Greatly improved asthma symptoms. I went from needing albuterol daily to barely at all. Allergic rhinitis improved too. I can definitely tell how well it works since when I forget it for a few days, I become a wheezy, snotty mess with itchy eyes. | Wonder drug for me. Completely changed my life. | F | 25 | 12 years 10mg 1X day | 3/16/2011 |
