| 2 | allergies | I just took my first dose of singulair. I took it at night as prescribed. I cannot sleep at all. I feel wide awake. I am not taking it again. I am a school teacher and I can't be having sleepless nights. | F | 43 | 1 days | 3/22/2009 | 1 | Allergies | Depression, Temper tantrums, night sweats, gagging/vomiting, nose bleeds, eczema, no energy | My son has been on and off singulair since he was 2.5 to prevent ear infections. After his Dr. increased his dose to 5 mg and told me how important it was for him to take it everyday to prevent allergy symptoms we lost our son. If not for a very special pharmacist giving me warning about possible depression when refiling his Rx I think my son's life could have been altered forever without us even knowing why. He has now been off for 2 weeks. I have my son back. His energy level is back and he is smiling and happy with no other strange symptoms. Medical providers should really think twice about giving this med to children. | F | 33 | 3 years | 3/21/2009 | 4 | Asthma & Allergies | Possible Sinus infections, ear congestion | I have been on it for a year (previously for a 2 year period). I have been of the opinion that it was a "wonder drug" for my asthma and allergies. I've used my rescue inhaler once or twice since taking it, but for the past few months I have been having sinus and ear issues. I found this site as I was searching to see if this could be related. After reading the posts, I also have been feeling uninterested, a bit depressed and I already suffered from panic attacks - so I'm a bit concerned to see how many people complain of anxiety issues on it. I've also had mental fog - inability to complete sentences, and looking back at when this started was after going on this drug. I am going to go on a med holiday and see if things clear up and will report back. | F | 41 | 1 years | 3/19/2009 | 1 | Asthma and Allergies | -night sweats -nightmares -increased thirst -uncontrolled eczema -stuttering -odd periods of sadness and crying | My 2 yr old daughter was prescribed this medication by an out of town doctor who said it would get her allergies under control and help her sleep better and make her calmer. I'll say she's had less periods of runny noses but the side effects are not worth it. It's hard when my happy go lucky girl comes to me and suddenly says "Mommy I'm sad". I recommend that everyone go to FDA's website and complete their form for all of these negative effects so they will take it off the market as it's highly unfair to small childlren. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm | F | 2 | 3 months | 3/19/2009 | 1 | asthma | my 6 year old daughter just started this medicine 3 weeks ago and at first told me she felt leg pains..i thought nothing of it,maybe it was growing pains. She was acting a little weird and fighting with her 2 year old brother and us. Then just yesterday she looked very down and when i asked her what was wrong she said that "she was born". This totally shocked me and my heart broke. Why would she say that? Was she having trouble in school? Feeling neglected at home? We always have fun with the kids. Then she said she has been feeling really sad lately and she didn't know why. When I went to give her the dose last night, I realize it was the medicine!!The label with small writing on the side said to call doctor if you experience mood changes, sadness, depression.. She had been acting out of her normal because of it! Of course I didn't give it to her and will never give it to her again!!!! | M | 27 | 21 days | 3/19/2009 |
