| 2 | allergies | My 2 1/2 yr old son became a COMPLETELY different child w/in 3 days of taking this medicine. ANGRY, MEAN, would cry for everything, nothing made him happy. | While his allergy symptoms improved, my sweet little boy turned into a very unhappy child. He fought taking his naps, cried for every little thing such as getting in the car or putting on his shoes. Everything became a battle. I wish I would have found this site before I gave him his LAST dose tonight. | M | 2 | 5 days | 12/31/2006 | 2 | Allergic rhinitis/chronic sinusitis | At first I was thrilled - finally a wonder drug for my allergies! After a few weeks, I started to get really itchy, especially on my hands, around sunset every evening. Large red splotches would appear on my chest and neck. When I would scratch, welts would raise. As I continued to take the medication, I developed increasingly severe welts in response to the slightest skin trauma. It got to the point that I would have huge welts that would leave scars along the waistband of any of my pants, and I couldn't let the edge of a sheet of paper touch me. I stopped taking Singulair, and worst of the symptoms were gone in a few days. It took about six months for the last of them to totally disappear. This stuff SCARES me! Very disappointing. | F | 40 | 3 months | 12/23/2006 | 5 | Asthma/recur Asthmatic Bronchitus | None; however my ears "ring" but that started after more than 2 years of using this drug so I doubt that's it. Did notice I can't eat almonds anymore (mouth hurts), though -- maybe it's the analgesic effect since you can't take asprin with Singulair either! | Wow! Terrific drug that saved my life! First got it when I had four (4) pluersies in my lungs while using Advair prescribed by my regular doc. (Advair/Serovent -- dangerous drugs). The Urgent Care doc suggested I use Singulair instead along with my rescue inhaler for acute stage. Presto! I got better. Now, I'm on it full-time and rarely use my rescue inhaler except if I get standard Bronchitus (from the kids). | F | 47 | 4 years | 12/13/2006 | 4 | asthma | Terrible abdominal pain and constipation. Two visits to the ER, 2 cat scans and a hydoscan later, and I suddenly started to think about this drug, and how the terrible constipation seemed to have started near to when I started taking it. NONE of the many doctors I've seen---my regular doctor, the gastroenterologist, the surgeons---ever considered it could be the singulair. Now that I've read on this site that several others have experienced the same side effect, I'm going to stop it and see if that's the culprit. | I'll be sorry to have to stop it, because it's been very helpful for the asthma and I've had no other side effects. | F | 44 | 3 months | 12/12/2006 | 4 | Asthma/Allergies | My 4yo is taking this and is complaing of her head hurting all the time and not sleeping at night. Now she takes it in the morning. | Has helped her greatly with the wheezing and coughing | F | 4 | 30 days | 12/11/2006 |
