| 4 | moderate asthma | none that I'm aware of | F | 18 | 3 years | 3/31/2005 | 4 | asthma | I took Singulair for 3 years and have finally stopped it. I will say it did help, but the side effects were scary once I realized what the med was doing to me. At first, I thought there were no side effects and the medication DOES work very well for asthma. After 3 years, I finally realized that it caused panic attacks an anxiety. I also believe it has caused me to gain about 10-15 lbs. Once getting off, my body went through withdrawal (allergies flared up and I felt tired). I'm taking Allegra until those symptoms clear. Also, for you ladies out there, I really believe that my Loestrin (low dose birth control pill) is helping my breathing. We'll see what happens. | Works well, but has hidden side effects. | F | 26 | 3 years | 8/15/2007 | 4 | Asthma | Intolerence to any type of heat or humidity | I was diagnosed with asthma in December 2004. Through out my childhood I always developed bronchitis on a yearly basis so this did not shock me. My doctor is a lung specialist so I felt comfortable with his diagnosis. He tried me for 2 weeks on Advair which did nothing for the feeling like a rock was sitting on my chest. The next step was trying Singulair. I noticed an immediate improvement. No side affects at all. Since 2004, when I develop a cold, it always turns into a lung infection which requires me to go on predisone temporarily. One thing I have noticed since being on Singulair is that I have absolutely no tolerence for heat or humidity. I immediately get clammy and sweaty and have almost passed out on occassion when I have to be outside in those conditions. The only other medication that I am on is a 28 day birth control pill but have been assured by the pharmacist that there are no side affects between that and the Singulair. I have never had this type of reaction b | F | 32 | 2 years | 8/2/2007 | 4 | seasonal allergies | Gave me some relief...I've NEVER experienced constipation...I started thinking about when I noticed this change in myself, and thought it was about the time I started Singulair. I thought I would do a little research online and found this sight. WOW. What a wake up call. I'm stopping tonight to see what happens, and I'm taking my 15 year old daughter off as well, she was moody enough to begin with! | If you begin this medication, closely monitor yourself or your kids for side effects...I just now realized that my weight gain was a recent occurance as well! | F | 34 | 1 months | 9/14/2007 | 4 | asthma, allergies | Potentially, weight gain and hair loss | I read all the comments on this site and can't believe all of the small children who are taking this med. READ THE LABEL! This is not recommended for children.....but I digress. I'm researching this med as an adult and am reading all of these horror stories but can only find negative comments on side effects with children. I am 35 and have taken this med for approx. 3 months. I am wondering if this nagging itch in the back of my throat (especially at night) and hair loss are symptoms that have been experienced by ADULTS. People, doctors are people too! They are humans. You are capable of making your own decisions and doing your own research before giving your helpless child a medication. They even make it easy for you! They put it right in the side effects paperwork they give you when prescribed! I digress again. I like this medicine. It has helped the symptoms I took it for but have seen one or two comments on hair loss and weight gain on this drug. I'm looking for any ot | F | 35 | 3 months | 11/2/2007 |
