| 4 | non-specif resp. issues, allergies | Increased blood pressure, massive weight gain | I was prescribed 10 mg/day, but after watching my BP rise, cut back to 5. Six months and 40 pounds later, I found out that it causes weight gain. I quit taking it the next day. /May/ have helped the breathing, but not worth the weight. | M | 51 | 6 months 5 mg 1X D | 4/11/2012 | 5 | Frequent Sinus Infections/Asthma | Vivid dreams | I can breathe. For the first time in a long time I didnt wake up with a stuffy nose. | F | 41 | 7 days 10 MG 1X D | 4/4/2012 | 5 | Hay fever and asthma | None that I noticed. I was going through menopause at the time so if there were any initial mood/mental changes I probably attributed them to menopausal mood swings. | Both myself and my 21 year old daughter have been on Sinulair for 10 years. It's been a wonder drug for us. Totally controls our severe nasal allergies and asthma symptoms. If I miss a pill for a day I can already feel my asthma wheezing returning. Luckily, neither of us have had problems with nightmares, depression, or any other type of mental/mood changes. Our allergist said that he has had patients on Singulair for decades with no complaints of negative side effects. | F | 59 | 10 years 10 mg 1X D | 3/30/2012 | 2 | asthma | Son commenced singulair 4mg a day when he about 3 years old for asthma that was getting very severe. Great at first, asthma cleared right up so we could put the inhaler away almost completely. Slow but progressive behavioural problems in preschool and kindergarten to point we took him out of school as disrupting other students and teachers. He seemed so angry, touchy, hypersensitive and miserable. Didn't consider Singulair to be the cause until we revisited the medi info as we were at wits end. Also son has preexisting problems with ears which we misinterpreted as being partial cause of problems.. Been off Singulair for over 3 weeks now with doctor's consent with management and he has really lifted in mood and has improved dramatically at school. The doctor does not seem to rate the side affect very seriously. The longer term affect of the drug seems to have altered our son's overall perceptions of his world. He's much happier already but he still draws things that worry his teacher f | Works great on the asthma symptoms but be absolutely vigilant for side effects on mood. I would say only to prescribe this to children old enough to realise and be able to communicate that they are getting depressed or moody etc. My son was still learning to speak when he started on singulair, coupled with hearing difficultes which clouded our view of what was happening to him. | M | 6 | 2 years 4mg 1X D | 3/29/2012 | 1 | My two yr old son for allergies | My son went from being a cuddly, affectionate child to being a complete terror. He throws things, he smacks people, he deliberately does things repeatedly with you standing right there even though he was told know, then he laughs when you yell. | My son is not this child and I'm glad that I caught it when I did. I feel sorry for those parents whose children have suffered longer and worse than my son, but knowing this, he's off effective immediately. Why don't they warn you about these symptoms??? | M | 2 | 3 days 4mg 1X D | 3/29/2012 |
