| 2 | allergies | red,raised,blistery,itchy,rash and soreness in teeth and jaws. Nausea, weakness and unsteadiness. | I took this medication once before back in February and did not notice any side effects but the prescription ran out. But when I got it refilled this month I immediately rashed and felt ill but did not consider the Singulair until I realized that I did not have the rash upon awakening each morning and it reappeared after I took the next dose, and went outside, however briefly. I am now considering if my moods were perhaps negatively affected over these past weeks as well. I may never know. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 6/9/2009 | 5 | asthma and allergies | no side effects | i love singulair, it's a wonder drug that helps with my asthma and bad allergies. it doesn't work perfectly 100% of the time, but for the most part, i love it. and i know it works cuz when i stop taking it, usually cuz i don't have the money for it, it gets harder for me to breathe, and i sneeze constantly and have a runny nose | M | 27 | 4 years | 6/8/2009 | 3 | allergy related asthma attacks | drymouth, stomach pains, drowsiness (even when taken at night it stays with me most of the day), some leg cramping | Was perscribed this medication to help with hay fever that was causing asthma attacks and heard from many people that it was a miracle drug for those with similar issues. The first week I was on the medicine I was also on Predisone, which had its own terrible side effects. I can definitely breathe easier now, but my stomach pains have become worse adding to my issues with acid reflux. | F | 24 | 60 days | 6/8/2009 | 4 | Cold induced Asthma | My 10 year old son has been taking Singulair for about 6 weeks to control stuffy, drippy nose and cold induced asthma. We usually make a trip to Emergency in the fall and in the spring. One of those visits usually involves a stay for 3 to 4 days. He just broke out into a rash the last 2 days. It is only on his skin that appears to be exposed to the sun. It looks like a sunburn, but has bumps and blotches all over it. I have given him benadryl and it is gone in the morning, but comes back when he comes home from school. No other symptoms seem to be present. He is still a very sweet, quiet and loving boy. No mood swings, but after reading all of these comments, I am somewhat concerned. He has a wet cough right now and has had it for the last week, but the stuffy, drippy nose is gone. We have an appointment to see a child allergist in a couple of weeks and I will ask him what his thoughts are on this topic, but don't expect him to admit any connection. My experiences with doctors tell me | The insert with the medication does not mention anything about photosensitivity or sun exposure. That is the only thing that seems to make sense. We have only had some good sunny weather this past week and that is when the rash started. | M | 10 | 6 weeks | 6/4/2009 | 1 | Asthma, allergies | Out-of-control behavior, hyperactivity, tantrums | We are stopping Singulair TODAY! My son's behavior has been completely out of control since starting this medicine, I'm so tired of disciplining him, because he was very well behaved before. He has no control of his actions, he talks for hours non-stop and is extremely hyper. He also just got over being sick with the same asthma/allergy problems and an ear infection, which can be a side effect...so not worth it!! | M | 4 | 1 months | 6/4/2009 |
