| 3 | allergies and allergy induced asthm | I have recently been having severe joint and muscle pain/I'm not sure if it's related, I've been taking Singulair for a few years. I've had aches and pains and never made a connection but recently aches and pains are everywhere and extreme. Also have had a lot of ear pressure and fullness/fluid in the last year along with vertigo. I'm not sure if there is a connection but I wonder. Also seem to be water retentive. | I think I'll try to get off of this. It's really helped the wheezing. On the other hand, when my mail-delivery meds didn't come on time and I missed doses, my wheezing seems worse than ever. | F | 38 | 3 years | 4/7/2008 | 1 | asthma | depression, extreme anxiety, panic disorder, suicidal thoughts, loss of control over thoughts, paranoia, suicide attempt | I've been on Singulair for 7 years. It did control my asthma. However, during the time I was on it, I slowly spiraled into deep depression. After 6 years of taking it, I developed such extreme anxiety and panic disorder that I was convinced I was going crazy, as schizophrenia runs in my family. I had no control over my thoughts, which were so scary and demented that it was virtually intolerable. I had one suicide attempt year 6 of taking it. Over the 7 years I became agoraphobic. I didn't attribute my troubles to Singulair, instead believing I was mentally ill. My mom told me about the news reports and I discontinued Singulair. My doctor said to give it 1 month to get out of my system. By day 3, I noticed extreme changes for the better. It's day 11, and I haven't felt this normal since before taking Singulair. All anxiety has disappeared. I think normal again, depression has lifted. I'm dumbfounded that my "mental illness" wasn't an illness at all. I can't beli | F | 27 | 7 years | 4/7/2008 | 1 | Asthma, allergies | Depression, mood and behavioral changes | I started taking Singulair in September 2007. It worked great for keeping my asthma and allergies under control. However, the emotional side effects I experienced were horrible. Within a month of taking it I noticed I started to become depressed and lethargic. In December anxiety started. I thought all of these emotional occurances were due to stress. In January I became worse and started lashing out at family and friends. February and March were the worst. I became suicidal and as early as last week contemplated killing myself because I couldn't take it any more. Thank god my friend heard the news reports about Singulair and called me immediately. I have been off the drug for 3 days and I am starting to feel like myself. I urge people not to take this drug. | M | 38 | 7 months | 4/4/2008 | 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 | 2 | allergies/asthma | anger,depressions,hysterical crying,seeing things& people not there,trouble focusing | my daughter has been on this since she was 5. her behavior has changed drastically. mood swings,violent behavior toward her twin, seeing people in her room at night(not really there), headaches, stomach pain,frequent need to urinate,trouble focusing. we thought it was hormones!i feel horrible that she went through all of this.took her to pedi the day after the news report. he said she needs a behavioralist maybe a psycologist. that it was NOT the singulair.having blood tests run and full check up by other doc. took her off med 7 days ago. sleeping better, mood better, focusing better. DO NOT give this to kids!not the wonder drug the docs think it is. | F | 42 | 5 years | 4/3/2008 |
