| 1 | allergies/ashtma | My 2 yr. old nephew was on the med. for one month. He had extreme spells of irritability and nightmares, banging head on floor, hurting self, bloody nose, crying for hours and hours. Total change in personality. | VERY scary for entire family. It angers me that this company says this med. is safe for children. It is most definitely not, especially when it takes parents about 30 days or so to connect the dots. | F | 32 | 30 days | 5/3/2006 | 1 | asthma | unexplained weight gain. jittery. tightness in chest. insomnia | F | 43 | 5 months | 5/2/2006 | 2 | allergies | weight gain and nightmares | Singulair seems to work pretty well for my allergies -- better than other oral medications. But the side effects are not worth it. Gained 10 pounds in 30 days (clothes are fitting much tighter), even though I continued my regular workouts with a personal trainer and did not change my eating habits. The only thing that has changed about my routine the past 30 days is taking Singulair -- so it is the only explanation for the weight gain. It also has been causing horrible and vivid nightmares -- the type that stay with you and bother you for days after. I'm stopping the Singulair as of last night and looking into immunotherapy. | F | 33 | 30 days | 5/1/2006 | 3 | allergic rhiniti/mild intermittnt a | wt gain, craving food all the time increased need for sleep, difficulty starting tasks | I would take this again for a short period of time during a fierce allergy week or a brochitis, because it works well, but I gained 10-15 pounds. I'm craving food all the time. I'm needing more sleep and having a terrible time waking up. I'm having trouble getting thins done and I am more irritable. | F | 40 | 2.5 months | 4/27/2006 | 1 | Allergies | My 4 year old son has been taking Singulair for three weeks. We immediately saw a behavior change. He became hyper and aggressive at school. He had an episode where ittook three teachers an hour and a half to calm him down. He said he doesn't know why he got so upset. He has been competely out of character for the past couple of weeks. I am so glad I started to research this medication. Last night was his last and final dose. My son is somewhat excited anyway, this took him over the top. | I wish healthcare providers would let parents know the possible side effects of this medication. | M | 4 | 3 weeks | 4/26/2006 |
