| 4 | Asthma | Phantom smell. Wood, mildew smell that was always present. | Vivid dreams, did not notice any increase in depression. | M | 49 | 1 months 30 | 12/30/2019 | 1 | Chronic cough | Afraid to sleep alone possible night terrors. Obsessed with not letting anyone around her close their eyes. She did not want anyone going to sleep or take naps. She couldn’t express why but it was causing her so much anxiety. She always had a little stutter that she most likely will grow out of but seemed to be magnified this week. With the stutter she started blinking her left eye which is new. | Last night was her last dose and I’m hoping she will get back to normal. | F | 3.5 | 7 days 5mg | 12/5/2019 | 2 | Allergic Rhinitis, Mild Asthma | Worked well after two weeks. It was like my allergies were suddenly cured. Just as quickly it altered my mood and I went into deep emotional distress. I become increasingly irritable and started panicking. I couldn’t go into a busy store without having an overload of my senses and needing to flee. No one really understood me and when I brought this up to my allergist she looked at me like I had five heads and said that she usually sees agitation in young children. Nonetheless I was off of it immediately and side effects were gone quickly. | Be careful and do your research. It is said that people who already have a history of anxiety disorder or have had depression should beware this medication; it can quicken these problems and some even become suicidal. | F | 18 | 1 months 10 MG | 11/10/2019 | 1 | Allergies and Asthma | Gastrointestinal distress daily. Upper respiratory and sinus congestion and mucus. Disturbed sleep patterns with frightening vivid dreams. Mood changes including anxiety and depression. Severe neuropsychiatric adverse reaction - paranoia and severe and chronic auditory hallucinations. | Stopped med one year ago and withdrawal period was very difficult. No doctors were of assistance in diagnosing connection to Montelukast. Most side effects decreased or completely resolved within several months of stopping the medication. There is a withdrawal period. Do not stop and start this med! We tapered off slowly. Dangerous medication for adults and children. | M | 30 | 20 years 10 MG 1X day | 11/2/2019 | 1 | allergic rhinitis | 1 MONTH AFTER DOSE INCREASE: auditory hallucinations, suicidal ideation, intrusive, disturbing and violent thoughts. Night terrors, death obsession, fear, OCD. | withdrawal from the drug is worse than the side effects while on it. THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED WITHDRAWAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. | M | 15 | 13 years 10 | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma | This drug caused nightmares/night terrors, hallucinations, suicidal thinking, aggression & extreme anxiety to the point my son would not leave the house. After 3 years off, he still suffers severe anxiety & sleep problems. | It worked well for asthma but the neuropsychiatric side effects were horrific. Would not recommend it especially as some side effects last long after stopping. | M | 16 | 2 years 10mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma | Severe anxiety and OCD with intrusive thoughts | Mental problems diagnosed by psychiatrist, completely went after discontinuing Montelukast. A very scary drug. | M | 11 | 28 days 5mgs | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma | Suicide attempts, depression, OCD. | Watch for changes in mood or personality. | F | 14 | 6 months 10mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | nasal polyps | Depression, Suicidal thoughts/self harm, anxiety the list goes on | if you get any side effects - stop taking it | F | 22 | 8 years 10 | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Rhinitis | Headache, leg & arm cramps & tingling, nausea, upset stomach, very yellow urine, neurological Psychiatric episodes, nightmares,severe anxiety which caused O.C.D., sensitive to light - over dialated pupils, behavioral issues, confusion, unable to learn properly reception to grade one, could not concentrate, mouth tic developed, dry mouth - thirsty, suicidal thoughts. | Needs Authority Prescription, Specialist regulation prescribing only with Patient/Caregiver strict guidance of what side effects to look out for. Packaging requires external mandatory warnings of side effects. | M | 5 | 18 months 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma and allergies | Hair loss (half of it) Extreme Fatigue Anxiety Trouble sleeping or feeling rested | F | 37 | 3 months 10mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Allergies and Asthma | Sleep disturbance, vivid dreams, night terrors, anxiety, depression, auditory hallucinations, hair loss, sinus congestion... | Neuropsychiatric/mental health side effects do not simply go away once stopping the medication. Stopping and starting the med is not a good idea and there is a long period of withdrawal issues post Montelukast. | M | 31 | 17 years 10 MG | 10/15/2019 | 1 | ALLERGY INDUCED ASTHMA | EXTREME ANXIETY THAT INTERFERED WITH DAILY FUNCTIONING (UNCHARACTERISTIC OF TYPICAL BEHAVIOR.) | F | 8 | 3 years 30MG | 10/15/2019 | 1 | CHEST CONGESTION | HALLUCINATIONS AND VIVID NIGHTMARES AFTER JUST ONE DAILY DOSE. | F | 7 | 1 days 30MG | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Allergy | Suicide ideation, extreme anxiety, hallucinations, extreme nightmares (couldn’t be woken up from) extreme melt downs & anger outbursts, self harm, extreme fear of sleep & being alone & many more unfortunately | Doctors & pharmacists need to be educated on the high risks associated with this medication. There also needs to be more research in how to help & support those experiencing side effects & long term withdrawal | M | 5 | 2 years 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Asthma | Suicidal Ideation, severe anxiety | This should NOT be prescribed for children!! | 9 | 2 years 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | My daughter had asthma. | Neuropsychiatric meltdown. OCD, ADHD, nightmares, seizures, hallucinations. The anxiety and ADHD was during the medication, the rest of the symptoms came as Post Acute Withdrawl Syndrome. We literally lost our daughter for a little over four months to the side effects. Horrifying. | Medical professionals are either woefully unaware or willfully ignorant of how this medication affects the human brain. Unfortunately you have to be a freelance pharmacist to protect yourself these days. We still get vaccines and take Advil and whatnot, but my GOD this drug destroys lives. I've seen it in hundreds of other cases firsthand. | F | 8 | 5 years 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | My then 2 year old was on this drug for mild allergies for 18 months she suffered extreme fear, anxiety, depression, memory loss, confusion, agression, self harm, tummy aches and pains in all parts of her body, always sad and scared, loss of communication and emotion, agression towards others and herself, bed wetting, Hallucinations, hearing voices, could not sleep or sleep alone. We were not informed of these neurospsychiatric side effects or any of these others we assumed it was a toddler and the terrible 2 and 3s but we now know it wasnt. We took her off and her recovery began with withdrawals and intensified side effects slowly she become the little girl I knew she always was. 6 months on and she has recovered but we dont know what damage that drug did to my little girl. | This should not be given to children who cannot explain themselves or their emotions | F | 3 | 18 months 4mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Pediatric mild asthma | Night terrors hallucinations agression emotional imbalance anxiety crying waking up screaming no refusing to go back to sleep for hours | My 21m old daughter was prescribed for mild exercise induced asthma. After a week on this monster she did not resemble my child anymore. Extreme irritibility waking up with night terrors followed by hallucinations screaming no in her sleep. Heartbreaking experience. She stopped taking it a week ago. The sleep is going back to normal but her emotional state is a wreck. | F | 1 | 21 days 5mg | 10/15/2019 | 1 | Seasonal allergies | HORRIFIC neuropsychiatric side effects that lasted months after ceasing drug. This drug is very dangerous and should NEVER be prescribed to children for seasonal allergies. The benefits do not outweigh the risks. | Although the FDA has issued warning issues and listed neuropsychiatric side effects in the packaging, the medical community is generally unaware of these side effects and consider them rare. Unfortunately, they are not rare. | M | 12 | 3 weeks 5mg | 10/15/2019 |
