| 1 | asthma | Insomnia, muscle aches, daily morning headache, feeling like ants under my skin, irritability (extreme), fatigue not relieved by full night's rest, "brain fog", inability to concentrate on difficult tasks, swelling of ankles, rash on back and legs, dry eyes, dry mouth, extremely dry lips, always thirsty, tinnitus. | I was on this med for five years, prescribed by pulmonary doc for asthma. I had been feeling increasingly tired, achy, irritable and fed up with life in general. I could not seem to concentrate at work and would make errors that I never made before. The swelling and itching and dryness was getting worse. I went to my GP and she told me I was going through menopause and was "depressed" and that I needed anti-anxiety meds. I refused to take the RX, and came home and started researching Singulair as I began to realize that the not feeling well had started the same year I was "diagnosed" with asthma. When I found this website, I knew I had to get off this drug. I have been off it for three weeks now, and I cannot believe how much better I feel already. I am praying that most of my symptoms will abate if I continue to clear my system of this drug. When my allergy symptoms get worse, I take Benadryl, makes me a little sleepy, but at least I don't have the "brain f | F | 51 | 5 years | 5/18/2007 | 1 | Asthma | 3 1/2 year old - Moody, irrational,anxious, tantrums | My 3 1/2 year old has been on this for a little over a week and suddenly stomping her foot in frustration and will not look me in the eye when I try to address anything with her. Her pre-school teacher called me today at her wits end because she could not understand what was going on with her. She would not nap, but she usually is the first asleep. She kept getting up and bothering other children. When I spoke to her she was freaking out that I was in the phone. She knows how phones work and is very intellegent, so I was very concerned. I did not give her any Singulair tonight and will never again because of the research I had done. I wish I had done it before giving it to her. | F | 3 | 7 days | 10/29/2008 | 1 | asthma induced by allergies | irritability,restlessness, night terrors taking minimum of 1 hour to calm daughter down | My daughter is a very happy & active 2 y.o. (a few weeks under 2). She became restless after 2 doses (4mg at night), became irritalbe throughtout the day, and started night terrors (screaming/aggitated) after 4 doses. It would take a minimum of 1 hour to calm her down. This was so beyond her normal temperment & sleeping pattern that I discontinued use. I am a pediatric RN & would be interested to hear if anyone else had similar problems giving their child this med. | F | 2 | 6 days | 5/28/2005 | 1 | Flair up of seasonal allergies | Depression, moodiness, extra sensitive, weepy, anxiety, dry mouth, hard time focusing and was very tired. | I only started taking the drug 12 days ago. It seemed to help with my allergic flairup (seemed like a sinus infection without the coughing). I did experience a very dry mouth at first, but this side effect lessoned and I started feeling anxious, had a hard time focusing, very tired and starting becoming very sensitive, moody and depressed - without any prompting - which made no sense to me. It was like someone was pressing a button inside my head and making me depressed. I do take Wellbutrin for depression, which has worked successfully for me to this point. I read the singulair insert for side-effects and only continued taking the drug because I thought the depressed feelings must be coming from something else - a busy life style? Nothing I haven't handled before. Then I went on line to see if anyone else experienced depression as a side effect and found this site. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will stop taking this drug and am sure the side effects will disappear. This is not the first time I've experienced side effects that weren't on the label. My doctor has told me that if you get a side effect when you start a drug and then you stop it and it stops - well I guess you need to do your own research since we're all individuals with our own chemistry. I could be prone to the depression side effect. I'm just so happy - I thought I was losing my mind! | F | 39 | 12 days | 5/21/2005 | 1 | congestion | moderate to severe itching over torso, legs, back and arms. | F | 8 | 3 days | 3/25/2005 |
