| 4 | asthma & allergies | None that we are aware of. | My 14 year old daughter has been taking Singulair for about four years for asthma and allergies. She had a life-threatening event 1 1/2 years ago and was resuscitated at local hospital and transferred to regional children's hospital. The event, which is believed to have been "Sudden Asphyxic Athsma" had come on very suddenly while we were at a family event, luckily near the hospital. Prior to this event she had not been regular in taking Pulmicort or Singulair and had been relying heavily on albuterol emergency inhaler and Benydryl (which makes her very sleepy). She now religiously takes Flovent twice a day and Singulair 5mg and carries an emergency epi-pen at all times. She seldom needs the emergency inhaler and almost never has itchy eyes and hives, even though her blood work shows a very heavy allergic load. Either the Flovent works for everything or a combination with Singulair is working well for her. The allergist changed the children's hospital's RX back down to | F | 14 | 4 days | 12/19/2008 | 4 | Chronic sinusitis | pins & needles in my hands and feet, anxiety | It really cleared my sinuses, and for the first time in years I can breathe in the morning. However, the side effects are not worth it, and I can't wait for my hands and feet to feel normal again. | F | 33 | 3 months | 9/8/2009 | 4 | Chronic sinisitis | None. | I have been taking this drug for 2 weeks and I have not noticed one thing yet. I have had sinus infections forever and constanly stuffy. I hada infection and went on this instead and I honestly can't say anything bad about it yet. I have been reading through all of these comments and I find it hard to believe it has such large side effects for some people. however, Everyone reacts differently!! | F | 23 | 12 days | 1/23/2010 | 4 | allergies/asthma | I have taken Singulair and Serevent in combination now for 10 years and they seemed to really keep things in control. I am one of these people who doesn't like to take meds everyday though. I don't want to be dependant on any drug. So I've done some research and discovered Cordyceps Sinensis (a type of mushroom)which you can take in capsule form. I purchased some at a reasonable price from Swanson Health Products online. I took it for 5 days and after some trial and error, discovered that I could go without the Singulair. Going on 3 wks now with no Singulair yippy!!! If you try this, make sure you let the Cordyceps get in your system for 5-7 days first! Good luck | F | 37 | 10 years | 3/12/2009 | 4 | Asthma & Allergies | Possible Sinus infections, ear congestion | I have been on it for a year (previously for a 2 year period). I have been of the opinion that it was a "wonder drug" for my asthma and allergies. I've used my rescue inhaler once or twice since taking it, but for the past few months I have been having sinus and ear issues. I found this site as I was searching to see if this could be related. After reading the posts, I also have been feeling uninterested, a bit depressed and I already suffered from panic attacks - so I'm a bit concerned to see how many people complain of anxiety issues on it. I've also had mental fog - inability to complete sentences, and looking back at when this started was after going on this drug. I am going to go on a med holiday and see if things clear up and will report back. | F | 41 | 1 years | 3/19/2009 |
