| 2 | Asthma | Loss of appetite, waking 10-15 times a night, extremely irritable - having meltdowns over nothing, very clingy, chewing on her fingers constantly | My daughter (20 months) was put on this medication to try to control her viral induced asthma. 1 week after starting the medication, her appetite began to dwindle. A couple of days later, she started waking many times a night (previously a very good sleeper) and became really aggressive, miserable and clingy. We took her off Singulair at the recommendation of her nurse and just 1 day off it, I am seeing a huge improvement. She only woke twice during the night, ate all her lunch and is happy and no longer clingy. My little girl is back! We are restarting Singulair on Friday just to see if the same side effects flare up - if they do, she will stop treatment completely. | F | 1 | 14 days 4mg 1X day | 6/12/2012 | 2 | allergies/asthmatic bronchitis | sensitivity, mood swings | My son has been taking this for about 6 months now and is very moody. He cries over everything. I am going to stop this med. and see what happens. | M | 1 | 6 months | 4/30/2007 | 1 | Asthma & Allergies | We tried my daughter on this twice, at 6 months and 15 months. Both times she became extremely crabby, screaming, throwing herself on the floor, holding her breath, freaking out!! She didn't sleep well, screamed out at night in her sleep. It seemed to help her symptoms tremendously, but the side effects were terrible. | I was afraid to try this for my daughter the second time and rightfully so. My husband and I agreed this will be the last time and we will be much more cautious with the trials of allergy medication in the future. | F | 1 | 7 days | 4/17/2006 | 1 | Gerd | gave this to my son for gerd he would wake up every night in the middle of the night crying like he had pain. We tried changing diet and other things finally went without medicine and he slept great. Wish I had found this site earlier, I had researched but not found anything about stomach pain. He is 19 months | M | 1 | 30 days 7.5 2X day | 8/5/2011 | 1 | asthma | body aches, vomiting, night terros, moody, | He only took the medication for a week. He first started spitting up a little bit of his food while having meals. Then he started with a little cough that led into vomiting. Then he started waking up at night with stomach aches. Then he started crying like if everything hurt. He did not wanted to be picked up. I found him pulling his hair and his ear lobe. I believe his ears were either ringing or hurting. All this in just a matter of days. He is not taking it today. I just called his Pediatrician. | M | 1 | 7 days | 3/3/2008 | 1 | exercised induced asthma | it was for my son who was 1 1/2 at the time, within minutes of taking the granulants he began projectile vomiting. He began acting in what I can only describe as a bad trip. He was running back in forth from myself to my husband screaming in terror as if he didnt know us. he would look around like he was seeing things flying through the air. I told his doctor who said to try it one more time to see if it was the "Nausia" so we did and got the same results. We immediatley took our son off of this prescription. | M | 1 | 2 days | 4/4/2008 | 1 | Asthma and allergies | My son was on this for one day and he had horrible panic and anxiety attacks. Poor thing didn’t even want to go outside and he loves playing outside. He cant stand dog noises either when he loves our dog at home. NOT RECCOMENDED AT ALL! NOT WORTH IT! | M | 1 | 1 days 4 mg | 2/10/2016 | 1 | Pediatric mild asthma | Night terrors hallucinations agression emotional imbalance anxiety crying waking up screaming no refusing to go back to sleep for hours | My 21m old daughter was prescribed for mild exercise induced asthma. After a week on this monster she did not resemble my child anymore. Extreme irritibility waking up with night terrors followed by hallucinations screaming no in her sleep. Heartbreaking experience. She stopped taking it a week ago. The sleep is going back to normal but her emotional state is a wreck. | F | 1 | 21 days 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | severe runny nose, night congestion | twitching of head, lifting shoulders, arms shaking badly, body tremors, waking at night for hours, vocalizing became piercing screams | Our pediatrician prescribed Singulair to our 7 month old son after two failed rounds of antibiotics (amoxicillin and bactrim) were unable to control his severe nasal congestion and and clear mucuos that poured continuously from his nose. He was taking 4 mg of oral granules mixed with his vegetables/fruit. The drug completely cleared up the runny nose, and the nasal congestion was almost non-existent. We thought it was a wonder drug. Two days later we noticed our son was twitching his head as if he had an ear infection which was ruled out. He would raise his shoulders and drop them in what appeared to be involuntary movements. If his arms were outstretched they would shake badly so that he would drop toys in his hands. When we held him after noticing these very disturbing movements, he would still shake and tremble. He is a normally a very happy little guy who suddenly started shrieking with these high-pitched, very loud screams. His behaviour was hyper. We have stopped this medicine af | M | 0 | 3 days | 2/26/2007 | 5 | | 2/12/2006 | 5 | Asthma | None - No rapid heart beats like the other drugs i used to take, like theo something ( theo-dur). | Had a Very bad asthma attacka in 1998. Went to the hospital and the attack was broken , but came back that same nite. This was going on for months for the first time in my life ( I was 39 when this happened). Usually the emergency room visit was all that i needed. Finally was referred to a pulmuary (lung) doctor ( expensive doctor but worht every penny) and he put me on a new drug called Singulair. After taking it for 1 week i was able to breath again, no more tightness and/or suffcation feelings. I still get asthma attacks once or twice every 3-4 years. I take this drug on and off, but i know when to start, when i get a cold. After i get cold or Flu the asthma follows, thats when i start taking it. | M | 4 years | 10/18/2005 | 5 | Chronic sinusitis; allergies | None | Perhaps this isn't a medication for kids, but it has worked great for me (54 y/o M). Additionally, I have had difficulty sleeping in the past and now sleep much better (perhaps due to clearer nasal passages and easier breathing). | M | 2 months | 4/19/2007 | 4 | Allergy | Taken at night, none. Missed dosage, severe hiccups. | M | 2 years | 10/2/2004 | 4 | Allergies to pets | Total lack of focus, very tired all the time. Knowingly feeling that I'm not myself - quiet, withdrawn, inactive, depressed about nothing. People asking if everything is all right etc. Product worked well on allergies but I just don't feel the same and its not worth it. I'd rather suffer with allergies. | M | 4 months | 6/15/2009 | 4 | Asthma | Sleepy, dizzy. Transient. I was told to take this drug at bedtime for those reasons. I haven't noticed anxiety, depression. Or any more nightmares than my usual, what I do experience is the tightness in my chest disappears within about an hour. The inhaled steroid beclomethasone doesn't seem to do much for me. I'm told to use it anyway, which I do. I'm 60, working nurse, have cats and a dog. I walk every day in the woods near me. So, my experience with singulair has been pos! I use albuterol once a month. Montelukast has been kind of a miracle drug for me. | F | 2 years 10 1X day | 9/23/2014 | 3 | | 7/7/2009 | 3 | Allergies | My eighteen month old son has been taking the chewable form of this medicine for three weeks. This weekend he developed a head to toe raised pink rash. He is very uncomfortable - as if the rash is more painful that itchy. He had a fever for five days last week so the Dr. said his rash was viral (the last phase of the virus that caused the fever). However, I am reading these and other reviews and worrying that it is the Singulair. If so, I will be very disappointed as his sinus issues have seemingly improved over this time. | M | 3 weeks | 5/2/2009 | 3 | F | | 5/7/2006 | 2 | for asthma | my son who is 6 was put on this medication. He has a mild case of asthma which usually result in hard time breathing a few times a month. We used this medication for about a month and a half and the case of his asthma increased dramatically. We took him off of it and he was having breathing problem almost daily if not every other day for a month or so. We did not want to put him back on this medicine any longer and we treated his breathing problem with nebulizer which usually took only one treatment per case. Eventually his daily breathing stopped and now he's back to where he was before. It has been close to a month that he has not had a case of breathing problem so far. | 1.5 months | 7/17/2009 | 2 | asthma | My 4-year old son became depressed, anxious, aggressive. The medicine did relieve his asthma symptoms but the side effects were too severe and life-altering. | Our pediatrician doubted the link but our son's preschool teacher and my husband and I saw it to be true based on our empirical observations. | M | 8 days | 4/9/2008 |
