| 1 | allergies | My 4 year old daughter took this medicine. Sleeplessness, nightmares, complaining of monsters in her bedroom, extreme anxiety, mood swings, glazed disconnected look in her eyes at times, anger, aggression, destructiveness. It was like she was possessed. She's been off this for two months. The symptoms have almost all disappeared. | This drug needs to be banned. These dangerous side effects are ruining children and families. This was the only drug my daughter was on. She had no control over her behavior and was diagnosed as having a mood disorder. She was put on antipsychotic medicine at the age of 4! I stopped those medicines shortly after I stopped the Singulair. The behaviors have almost all disappeared. | F | 49 | 11 months 4 mg 1X day | 12/10/2013 | 2 | Allergies | Did give me some relief with the internal swelling in my head and chest. Until the muscular cramping started. | M | 41 | 5 days 30 1X day | 12/3/2013 | 4 | astma chronic coughing | He has less coughing, sleepyness, he ha been using it since he was two. Without it it is non stop coughing. | M | 8 | 1 days 4mg | 11/24/2013 | 1 | Severe allergies | Worked great on allergies from the 1st day Wow I thought great than the ball dropped Severe severe leg and foot and thigh cramps sleep interrupted and nausea Would handle the sleep and the nausea Can NOT handle the cramping | F | 70 | 10 days 10 | 10/26/2013 | 3 | Asthma | Symptoms of allergies and asthma have abated, which is good. However, depression and crying and thoughts of dying or never even being born have come up frequently. This last time has been the most severe and my son will not be taking another dose. | Weighing benefits and side effects is up to the individual. A 9 year old is not mentally strong enough to fight depression. | M | 9 | 3 months 5mg 1X day | 10/7/2013 | 1 | Allergies | My daughter is 3, after 1 week of taking this, she began bed wetting which she had never done, was seeing people who were not there, woke up screaming from nightmares that she said a man was trying to take her away, and worst of all last night she woke up screaming hysterically and was like this 4 hours, saying get them off spiders and other things were crawling on her and were getting her, she is. Ow scared of the dark, won't sleep. Even all day has said things were crawling on her. Scary to think our next 2 weeks may be like this paranoia schizophrenia episodes. And wonder the lasting mental scars it will leave for such a young child. | My daughter has taken Singulair for the last 2 weeks and it has helped her symptoms of allergies greatly, it does not offset the extreme side effects it caused. | F | 3 | 2 weeks 4mg 1X day | 9/25/2013 | 1 | Asthma | Mood swing, depressed, severe joint pain, tendonitis, irritability, easily angered, crazy dreams, insomona, unable to function at times. | F | 26 | 3 years 10 | 9/24/2013 | 5 | rhinitis | Sleeplessness and vivid dreams, switched from night to morning dosing and side effects eliminated probably due to peak serum effect occurring during the day instead at night. Allergies well controlled and sleeping much improved due to a reduction of sleep apnea snoring. | M | 75 | 60 days 10 mg 1X day | 9/12/2013 | 1 | Asthma | Extreme aggression. | On behalf of my son. He stopped this drug nearly 2 years ago, but is still very aggressive. Before singulair, there was no aggression at all. He is being checked out for residual damage from singulair. | M | 8 | 6 months 5mg 1X day | 9/8/2013 | 1 | Itchy eyelids, skin allergies | Within 1 hour of taking 1 pill I became extremely nauseous. It lasted about 2 hours. I was pleased to find this website, but greatly concerned about all the effects others are reporting. I will NOT be taking this drug again. | F | 45 | 1 days 1xD | 9/5/2013 | 4 | Asthma | Works well for my asthma. Recently switched to the generic. Was fine with Teva generic and now experiencing headaches with the Glenmark generic. Don't know what could be different but I get cluster headaches within an hour of the dosage. Want regular Singulair back. | F | 28 | 7 years 10 mg | 9/4/2013 | 1 | Allergies | I experienced weight gain, libido loss, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts(which I've never had before), apathy, angst, distraction, forgetfulness, hate and anger. It severely messed with my marriage and ability to be a good mother. I became unable to function normally. This is the drug from hell. | F | 37 | 3 months 10 mg | 8/31/2013 | 1 | Rhinitis | I am in the UK and was given this drugby my allergist. After taking it for 4 weeks, I began to feel very depressed and asked my allergist if I could stop it. She was quite bullying and insisted I stay on it, which I did. The last 5 months have been sheer hell! I needed emergency care from my GP after becoming suicidal (so bad that I was almost institutionalised for my safety), and was also now having varicella spots breaking out on my arms and side. My GP told me to stop the drug IMMEDIATELY! No amount of rhinitis symptom relief is worth the sheer hell I. have been through on this drug! | F | 44 | 5 months 10mg | 8/19/2013 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma | After 4 days I felt as if I became extremely aggressive, agitated at everything and everyone, verge of losing patience at everyone, for no reason at all. This is not how I behave at all. Scary. Scary. Stay away from this drug. Also had insomnia, and even with a prescription sleeping pill had trouble sleeping, heart racing. awful. | This drug is the worse drug I have ever been prescribed. Awful experience. | F | 44 | 4 days 10 1X day | 8/11/2013 | 5 | asthma and nasal congestion | None | Took the drug for asthma. After taking it for a couple weeks I suddenly noticed I could smell again, chronic nasal congestion was significantly reduced. Use of asthma inhalers reduced dramatically -- I now use an inhaler about a dozen times a year or less. | M | 65 | 6 years 10 mg 1X day | 7/24/2013 | 5 | seasonal allergies | none | wonder drug for me, for my whole life i stayed inside during the late summer until it frosted. singulair is the ONLY medication i have ever taken that has worked for me | M | 63 | 5 years 1X day | 6/2/2013 | 5 | Asthma | None on Brand Singulair. Once switched to generic all symptoms returned. Told by pharmacy that the manufacturer has quit making brand since losing patent. Very frustrating | F | 55 | 6 years 10 mg 1X day | 5/28/2013 | 5 | Seasonal asthma | None | Wonderful medicine. Totally erased my seasonal asthma. I can now breathe! | M | 64 | 1 months 10 MG 1X day | 5/25/2013 | 2 | allergy & exercise induced asthma | Dreams, interrupted sleep, concentration problems, feeling gloomy, feeling disconnected, lack of caring, thoughts of dying, muscle and joint pain. | Though my breathing difficulties and chest tightness did improve with this medication, the side effects started right away and worsened quickly each day. I was willing to keep taking it to see if side effects might subside, but on day 4 the muscle and joint pain during and after exercising was excruciating. I apparently just cannot tolerate this drug. | F | 52 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 1 | COPD and Asthma | Extreme Anger all the time. Was never able to stop feeling mad., became abusive towards my wife, which is totally opposite for me. felt like I had hate in my heart and also became very selfish. Blood pressure ALWAYS higher than before. Insomnia that even sleeping pills couldn't cure. | M | 52 | 9 months | 5/15/2013 |
