| 1 | allergies | Extreme dizziness, numb fingers, cloudy thinking, so sleepy. | I took this ONE time. Was up all night, the next day, afternoon, I have EXTREME dizziness and my fingers went numb. I'm also sleepy and cannot think straight. I hope this goes away quickly and leaves no damage! | F | 50 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 1 | Sinus Problems | 1 dose = trip to ER and one year of panic disorder. | Look, I realize this drug may have simply been a trigger for an underlying panic disorder waiting to come out, but I lived 41 years without any anxiety at all. Then, I took this drug and my life changed. I'm working on recovering and I WILL recover, but I highly, highly recommend avoiding this drug at all costs. Whatever is wrong with you... find another way to fix it. This is a seriously dangerous medication, imo. It's been investigated for suicide links, among other things. Read up on it. Better yet, just avoid it like the plague. | M | 42 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 7/21/2011 | 1 | asthma | coughing throut hurt along with my one ear,headach | F | 52 | 7 days 10 mg. 1X day | 7/15/2011 | 5 | to improve asthma conditions | i havent really experienced any side effects with singulair. After reading people's comments i really got nervous that i would experience these terrible mood swings, or depression but i did not at all. Singulair is my oxygen. It has helped me cut down tremendosly on my short term inhaler. I take advair and singulair together everyday and they have done wonders for my asthma. The advair alone was not working so my doctor added me on singulair about 4 months ago and it has been the best decision. | F | 28 | 4 months 10 1X day | 7/5/2011 | 1 | allergies and asthma | The nightmares are horrible. I take sleep medicine and I am afraid to sleep because of the horrible dreams that are so vivid. Weight gain-7 lbs in two weeks and I haven't changed my diet. Irritability and agitation. Weepy and emotional. | F | 42 | 2 weeks 10 mg 1X day | 7/3/2011 | 1 | Allergies asthsma | My daughter began taking drug as a replacement to Flonase for allergies. The first night she had night terrors, never had them before in her life. She woke up several times a night screaming and crying while on the drug. During the days she was very emotional, crying at the drop of a pin about everything. | F | 2 | 10 days 4mg 1X day | 6/29/2011 | 1 | allergies | mood swings, aggitation, weird dreams, extreme drowsiness, chest tightness, emotional breakdowns | I already am a bit of an emotional person, but when i was on this it felt intensified x10. I was SO tired i literally could barely drive. I went from eating healthy and working out 3x/wk to just shoving food in my mouth 24/7 and laying on my couch at ALL times possible! very STRANGE dreams, unable to wake up in the morning, felt like i was drugged. allergies were better but experienced chest tightness instead. very easily aggitated and would just completely flip out on people when i normally wouldnt. did not want to be around anyone. stayed secluded and would not conversate with anyone. im a very outgoing talkative run-around type and people seemed shocked when they saw how quiet i was.. had atleast 6 friends ask me whats been wrong with me.. | F | 24 | 2 months 10 1X day | 6/29/2011 | 2 | Fir childhood Asthma | Abnormal leg movements when sleeping, Disturbed sleep and severe itching. | M | 4 | 5 days 4mg 1X day | 6/26/2011 | 5 | Allergies | 4 years. No side effects while taking - that I noticed.. I have decided to stop taking it due to costs and etc, and I am experiencing HORRIBLE side effects. Chest is tight, I feel like I have a huge knot in my chest..pressure, and lots and lots of phlem... | M | 55 | 4 days 10MG 1X day | 6/24/2011 | 3 | Asthma | My Asthma went away but I developed bladder or urthethra spasams. As soon as I went off the Singulair the spasms went away. I'm wondering if the medication brought it on? The Urologist could not find a reason for my pain and discomfort. It was really hard to endure for 3 months! | I wonder if anyone else has had similar symptoms? | F | 64 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 4 | Allergies | Nightmares!! Soooo tired! | So far this has worked for me. I have had severe allergies since I can remember. I mean sneezing for 30+ minutes straight without stopping bad. This has worked well but the nightmares are horrible. I am going to start taking it during the day instead of night. Although it makes me really tired .. I will take tired over nightmares anyday. At least I no longer have to carry a shop towel around anymore to blow my nose on. | M | 37 | 14 days 10 1X day | 6/15/2011 | 1 | allergy related asthma | Extreme depression, bouts of crying, weepiness, agitation. Weight gain. | F | 36 | 1 months 10 mg 1X day | 6/8/2011 | 4 | alleriges | sleepy if taken during the day for me. | i can tell if i stop it because my allergies act up again. | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 1X day | 6/3/2011 | 1 | allergies | My 16 yr old daughter had severe nightmares and numbness in her feet. I took just 2 doses and had severe itching and stopped. | My daughter took singular for about 2 months. It did help her allergies, but she started having very bad dreams and numb feet, didn't make the connection to the drug. I took 2 doses after she had been on those 2 months to see if it would help my allergies and had an immediate reaction. I looked up side effects and was horrified and what I read. We both stopped right away. This was about 3 years ago. Last year I got into a conversation w/a coworker whose 8year old was having having all kinds of problems with behavior. I found out the child was on singular and I told her to look it up. She took her child off singular and then thanked me "for saving my daughter". This stuff is lethal. The FDA is aware of problems. Go to the FDA website: do a search for Merck singular 2008. | F | 47 | 1X day | 6/2/2011 | 3 | Allergy and asthma | Weight gain, bad dreams, hard to stay asleep, anxiety. | I take this sparingly due to side effects. It does help me to clear lungs but I do gain weight without any eating changes and more exercise due to bike season. The drug is the culprit even though big pharma will tell you differently. Thanks to this site for allowing us to post how we really feel on medication. Any way, I started having bad dreams and wake up at 4 in the morning with thoughts and anxiety. When I go off of it , I get better and weight returns to normal. | F | 55 | 3 years 10mg 1X day | 5/31/2011 | 1 | Asthma & Seasonal allergies | I was truly at my wits end with my 7 year old daughter. Her behavior at home was horrible. She'd come in the house from school miserable and fighting with everyone. I felt myselt begining to get nervous as the bus was coming up our hill not knowing what to expect from her. Since we started her on this medication when she was 3 or 4 I was beginning to think there was something "wrong" with her personality. We switched allergy doctors solely b/c our previous DR relocated. The new MD took her off singulair and increased her pulmicort does. I immediately noticed a difference in her disposition, attitude and behavior. We go back in 1 mos for another lung function test. Hopefully it's good but if not I will be looking for other options to relieve the symptoms. We won't be using singulair again. | F | 7 | 4 years 5mg 1X day | 5/31/2011 | 1 | two year old son taking for asthma | severe nightmares | it stopped my sons asthma cough in two days. But the nightmares have been horribile wont ever giver this drug to my son again. | M | 2 | 30 days 4mg 1X day | 5/20/2011 | 5 | Asthma | None | None My son started this at two years old the asthma attacks stopped He finally started sleeping through the night. Without waking screaming beacuse of coughing. He had the terrible twos like anyother but no side effects that I can see he is a happy well adjusted child now in the 4th grade and making honor roll | F | 37 | 6 years 5mg 1X day | 5/17/2011 | 1 | Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria | I have chronic idiopathic urticaria (8 months so far) . Side effects of this Rx were nightmares, night sweats, body rash, swelling of face, eyes, lips and throat. Dry cough and Headache. Chest pain between my breasts. Renal failure. Low grade fever. Inability to concentrate with short term memory loss. This reaction reaction sent me to ER, as I could not breath. Oh, and forget about sleeping. That reaction to Singulair made the hives become angiodemic and worse than ever. I took me days to get it out of my system. | I tried taking this medicine about a month ago off and on and ended up in ER on a drip, but I was taking so many other meds, I did not make the connection. This week I took 2 doses, two nights in a row, the symptoms happened very fast, on the 2nd night, I woke up with my face & lips swelled. This is the fourth day 4 am and I would have gone to the ER again, but I was able to medicate myself per Doctor's advice: 50 mg benadryl, 300 mg zantac, 20 mg hydroxizine, 10 mg zyrtec and .5 mg xanax. My albutarol inhaler aided to open my airway. I did not use the Epi. I am hoping I can get it out of my system by tomorrow because I have to work tomorrow. It's hard to cover a swollen face and lips, looks like I have been beaten up. It's a shame I cannot return the Rx to get my money back at the drug store. | F | 67 | 2 days 10 mg 1X day | 5/17/2011 | 1 | asthma | seperation anxiety, crying, mood swings, nightmares, stomach pains, not listening | Extreamly upset that my Dr. didnt tell me the side effects, I can NOT believe I had my son on this crazy drug! Thank you to everyone who wrote comments so I could really confim that taking him off this medication is the best thing to do!! This drug is NOT for Children!! | M | 5 | 5 weeks 4mg 1X day | 5/17/2011 |
