| 1 | allergies | loss of appetite, nausea, stomach pains, insomnia, interrupted sleep, anxiety, pain and weakness in arm, fatigue, headaches, feeling disconnected, heat flashes, dizziness, aggression, deppression | It's working wonders for my allergies, but with my side effects and seeing all these negative reviews I think I'll see about switching to something else! | F | 20 | 6 days 10 mg 1X day | 5/21/2014 | 1 | Asthma | Loss of bladder control, shaking, tremors, extreme eczema flare, hives | I have mild eczema on my arms and legs and it flared over my entire body and became extremely painful hives. Creams, ointments only slightly work to ease the pain. The shaking started almost from the first day and progressed to muscle jerking. I have never had any issues with bladder control and there are times I feel like I will not make it to the bathroom. I have stopped taking it and hope all this stops soon. | F | 20 | 30 days | 4/15/2020 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | None | It really allieviated all my nasal drainage and cough- It worked wondefully! | F | 19 | 6 months | 2/16/2005 | 4 | asthma | vivid dreams, insomnia, slight anxiety | I've taken this medicine for most of my life and it has made my asthma so much better. Before I started taking it I had to use my inhaler a couple times a day. Now I use it less than once a month. The vivid dreams are really interesting so they don't bother me. I feel anxious even when I'm not taking it, so I don't know if I can blame that on the medicine. As for the insomnia, I'll definately take not sleeping through the night over felling like I am being suffocated. Luckily this medicine works really well for me, and I feel bad for all the people who have had negative side effects because it makes breathing so much easier. | F | 19 | 12 years 10 mg 1X day | 8/2/2010 | 3 | Asthma, irregular sinus problems. | Depression, anxiety. | Taking singulair did help my breathing, but caused me to become extremely moodly, depressed and anxious. Not just the odd bad day which everyone experiences, but full blown depression. I have tried being on and off the medication to see the difference a few times, and being off it has helped me relax significantly. Not worth taking for me - it didn't do anything my puffers couldn't. | M | 19 | 5 months 10mg 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 2 | Allergies | Heart palpitations, increased heart rate, mood swings, depression, irritability. | It worked very well for allergies, but the moods and heart rate were not worth it to me. | F | 19 | 8 months | 3/31/2008 | 2 | Chronic sinus infections | Extreme anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors, extreme hypochondria. | I have always been an anxious person, but never to the point of having negative thoughts about myself and those around me. I suffer from extreme hypochondria now, to the point where I am going to the doctor once a week for even a small, minor pain. I still have sinus infections! | F | 19 | 2 years | 4/1/2008 | 1 | asthma | Increased anxiety, panic attacks lasting for hours, ringing in ears, and intense pins and needles in my face and all over my body (especially after drinking). | F | 19 | 5 months | 2/24/2008 | 1 | Asthma | seizures | I never had a seizure in my life until I started on singulair. I would wake up and my body would start spazzing out and even randomly at night time. I had multiple tests done and the doctors didn't know what was causing this. I stopped plaquenil and I've been seizure free for over 2 years. | F | 19 | 1 years 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 5 | Asthma attack | I'm guessing that combining it with reactine caused my marks to drop in school(85%-72%) but thats just a guess. It works great though( I'm a teen) | M | 18 | 2 years | 12/2/2007 | 4 | moderate asthma | none that I'm aware of | F | 18 | 3 years | 3/31/2005 | 4 | Asthma | None | I used to take a rescue inhaler every day. Now, from only ten mg./day, I only have to take my inhaler once every month or two. | F | 18 | 1 years | 8/31/2004 | 2 | Allergies & Asthma | Depression & Anxiety | Took Singulair on and off from age 13-16. I never really took the meds consistently until my sophomore year of high school. I was also depressed and anxious that year. I would break down crying twice a week to almost every day. I don't think it was 100% because of the medicine, but it may have contributed to the problem. I stopped taking it and the depression went away around the same time. | F | 18 | 3 years 10mg 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 2 | Severe Allergies | Extreme depression, anxiety, panic attacks, heart racing, extreme fear, complete change in personality, insomnia, hopelessness, tingling in legs | I started taking Singulair last year after I was treated for a horrible sinus infection that lasted about 2 months. I have had allergies all my life, but they got very severe since last year. I began to feel severely depressed and anxious all the time, as if the world was ending or something horrible would happen. I have always been a happy, extremely positive person and all of the sudden my whole personality changed. I experienced extreme fear everyday, extreme anxiety, excessive crying, and my heart was racing. I had a sinus infection a month ago that I was treated for and my allergist thought that now I was still feeling horrible from the infection, as well as my horrible seasonal allergies. My mom took me to the doctor yesterday after I got home from school because I was still experiencing horrible emotional symptoms. My allergist said to stop taking Singulair. We had no idea this could cause me to feel soo horrible!!! I stopped taking it last night and I am already starting to feel like myself again. DO NOT TAKE SINGULAIR! Epecially do not prescirbe this drug to children, I've never felt so horrible or so scared in my life. They should be sued! | F | 18 | 1 years 10 1X day | 12/3/2011 | 2 | First time seasonal allergies | Increased anxiety; nausea, made worse by anxiety, which caused decreased appetite; itchy/scratchy throat which I believe was from Singulair, not allergies. | I had never had seasonal allergies much before that I was aware of, but I had been having a lot of "colds" where I'd feel run down and have sinus issues. My doctor told me they were seasonal allergies, and prescribed me Singulair. I did notice a little decrease in sinus issues, especially at first, but not even an amazing improvement. I have a history of mild anxiety, but the past 5 days it's been way worse and different than my anxiety before. I'm 99% sure it's from the Singulair. My throat has also been really scratchy, which I don't think is from the allergies since it didn't start until I started Singulair. I'm stopping Singulair and for now I guess I'll just stick to using a neti pot, which I would recommend to anyone with sinus issues by the way. | F | 18 | 7 days 10 MG 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis, Mild Asthma | Worked well after two weeks. It was like my allergies were suddenly cured. Just as quickly it altered my mood and I went into deep emotional distress. I become increasingly irritable and started panicking. I couldn’t go into a busy store without having an overload of my senses and needing to flee. No one really understood me and when I brought this up to my allergist she looked at me like I had five heads and said that she usually sees agitation in young children. Nonetheless I was off of it immediately and side effects were gone quickly. | Be careful and do your research. It is said that people who already have a history of anxiety disorder or have had depression should beware this medication; it can quicken these problems and some even become suicidal. | F | 18 | 1 months 10 MG | 11/10/2019 | 1 | shortness of breath/ asthma | This kicked in for my asthma right away, but the side effects were NOT worth it. It started with diarrhea but nothing major. Then i woke up every morning feeling fatigued and hung out as if i didn’t get any sleep at all. Then my mood changed, i was snapping at people and becoming irritable so easy, i got depressed. I already have anxiety and it was under control but this just sent it into over drive. Panic attacks all the time, everyday was a blur. DO NOT TAKE THIS! i don’t know why it’s even on the market especially for children and teens. i took it for a month and stopped and i feel better but i’m still recovering. Research what this drug does to people before you take it don’t make my mistake. Had some strange vivid dreams also. | F | 18 | 1 months 10MG | 7/25/2019 | 1 | Allergies | Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal thoughts, aggression, nightmares | I knew the side effects even before I started taking this, and I'm glad I knew because I would have stayed taking this medicine and it would've been torture. I quickly began to feel sad and it was a constant feeling. I couldn't even be around family or friends because I would just begin to cry. I also have been fighting more recently with my boyfriend. The first 3 days I took this medicine I have had the worst nightmares of my life. Keep in mind that I have never suffered from any mental illnesses, but this pill really changed the way I viewed my life and I will never be taking this again. | F | 18 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 1/9/2023 | 1 | Asthma and Allergies | Increased allergy attacks, morning asthma, mood swings, weight gain. | I started taking singular when I was a child around the age of 6-9. When I was younger I would tell my mom about my symptoms and she would tell me that it wasn't the singular and I had to keep taking it. Eventually my doctor wrote a new prescription and I didn't tell my mom about it because I hated taking it. Recently I started taking it again, I've been on it for about a week and all my symptoms have come back plus weight gain. I thought I would give it another try but I think I'm going off it again. This is a horrible drug and no child should ever be forced to take it. | F | 18 | 3 years | 5/17/2017 | 1 | athsma | moodyness increased apitite puffiness in the face insomnia | did not help my asthma at all | M | 18 | 3 weeks | 8/20/2006 |
