 3  Asthma and allergies My doctor started me on Singular because I would wake up every night about 3 am gasping for air. He prescribed this more for my asthma then my allergies. Within days, I was sleeping through the night and my allergy symptoms disappeared. It was like I never had asthma. A few months later, I started having panic attacks in ramdom places where I was not under stress. My dreams and nightmares became more vivid and pretty distressing. I started seeing things move out of the corner of my eye when there was nothing there. My sex drive disappeared entirely. Then, I started hearing voices in my head tell me to kill myself. (At this point in my life, I had a good job, was going back to school partime, and had the most wonderful boyfriend. There was no reason for me to be unhappy) I had enough sense to realize that this behavior was unlike me and then found this site and saw that I was not crazy. I went off the pill and all of the side effects went away in 2 weeks. I took it once after having an asthma attack and had a panic attack within an hour. That was all the validation I needed. I've been off of it half a year and am back to normal except for my sex drive. I hope it comes back. Did anyone else have problems with their libido? The doctor cannot find anything wrong with me but I suspect Singulair. This is ruining my relationship. Help! F 28 1 years

 2  for asthma my son who is 6 was put on this medication. He has a mild case of asthma which usually result in hard time breathing a few times a month. We used this medication for about a month and a half and the case of his asthma increased dramatically. We took him off of it and he was having breathing problem almost daily if not every other day for a month or so. We did not want to put him back on this medicine any longer and we treated his breathing problem with nebulizer which usually took only one treatment per case. Eventually his daily breathing stopped and now he's back to where he was before. It has been close to a month that he has not had a case of breathing problem so far. 1.5 months

 1  mild asthma, allergy symptoms ok where do I start, My son started taking Singular 4 mg after second birthday. I never really thought that his behavior could be caused by singular(the wonder drug). I think back now and I have chills on my arms after reading the stories. They sound so much like my son. It has always been hard for him to make friends and he was hyper and distracted, ADD symptoms, was amazed over death and grave yards, would cry at the drop of a hat and would never followed directions. I just thought it was part of him and we all accepted it. At 6 the Dr. put him on 6 mg singular chewables. I would have never known about this if it hadn't been for me taking him to the dr for his constant itching and rashes and the Dr. suggested we see an allergist. We went to the allergist and they did all the stick tests and found his allergies and then told me to keep him on the singular 6 mg. and he prescribed zyrtec and flonase. After taking 2 days along with the singular 6 mg he was already taking he begain to ta Please don't give your child this medication, the side effects are really scary and children are suppose to be children not little zombies. I have since gotten and really nice humidifier and I will use that instead of drugs. M 6 4 years
