| 2 | First time seasonal allergies | Increased anxiety; nausea, made worse by anxiety, which caused decreased appetite; itchy/scratchy throat which I believe was from Singulair, not allergies. | I had never had seasonal allergies much before that I was aware of, but I had been having a lot of "colds" where I'd feel run down and have sinus issues. My doctor told me they were seasonal allergies, and prescribed me Singulair. I did notice a little decrease in sinus issues, especially at first, but not even an amazing improvement. I have a history of mild anxiety, but the past 5 days it's been way worse and different than my anxiety before. I'm 99% sure it's from the Singulair. My throat has also been really scratchy, which I don't think is from the allergies since it didn't start until I started Singulair. I'm stopping Singulair and for now I guess I'll just stick to using a neti pot, which I would recommend to anyone with sinus issues by the way. | F | 18 | 7 days 10 MG 1X D | 4/28/2011 | 1 | allergies/asthma | facial tic/numbness of legs | this medication should not be given to children,with all the complaints I've read I don't understand why nothings been done about this!My 5yr old was only on this med 3 days,developed eye twitching and numbness in the legs,he could just about walk.I have never been so scared and felt so guilty for putting my son through this.It made me angry to come on this site and see all the similiar complaints and it's still on the market! | M | 5 | 3 days 4mg 1X D | 4/27/2011 | 1 | Allergies | Acid Reflux, Nightmares, Eye Twitching, Nervousness, Anxiety | The very first night I took it, I experienced several different vivid, bad dreams. I looked up side effects and found that bad dreams were a potential side effect, although the pharmacist tried to assure me that it must have been a coincidence. I have had several restless nights and bad dreams since. The acid reflux has been horrible and doesn't stop even though I've taken Nexxium, Tums, and Maalox all at the same time! The eye twitching has also been very annoying because it's non stop! I will stop taking Singulair. | F | 46 | 3 weeks 10 MG 1X D | 4/20/2011 | 1 | Asthma | Mood swings not listening to a word we say, strange behaviour experienced after just 2 days of taking the medication. Kicking, hitting out of character behaviour | M | 4 | 7 days 1X D | 4/19/2011 | 1 | Asthma | I tried giving Singulair to my 7 year old daughter twice and both times she woke up in the night with severe hallucinations. She was screaming at the top of her lungs, as though she were tied to a railway track and a train was coming. She said that the bed was flipping around and that the blanket was flying all around the room. She was holding her ears and pointing at things in the room (that weren't there) and screaming "Mommy make it stop!!!!". Her heart was pounding out of her chest....it was just terrifying. From this experience and from what I've read, it seems very mind altering. It has only been around since 1998, so the long term effects are unknown. Very scary. I will never give it to my child again. Her brain is much too precious. | F | 7 | 3 days 5 mg 1X D | 4/15/2011 |
