| 1 | asthma for 2 year old | insomnia, changes in sleep pattern, biting, nightmares | After research have found product's safety never established. Source: www.rxlist/the internet drug index .I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRUG MY WIFE HAD ALSO BEEN USING AND NOW HAS NOTICED COMMON SEVERE SIDE-EFFECTS. I strongly urge the company to do its research before prescribing it for children. I hope they monitor this board. | M | 2 | | 12/21/2005 | 5 | asthma | None at all | I switched from Advair (which made me angry, agressive, have nightmares, have crying fits) and found that Singulair was a dream come true. I have had no side effects, I sleep like a baby with no drowsiness the next day, and I can finally walk the stairs! I noticed where another person had sores in him mouth...I did as well, but it turned out to be a viral infection and not associated with the Singulair at all. | F | 36 | 6 months | 12/13/2005 | 5 | rhinnitis and GERD | initially some mild headaches | This combined with about 3 months of Nexium when it started, has completely resolved a fairly severe case of GERD that had symptoms very similar to heart attack on several occasions. Also, I've been reading these comments and noticing MANY SYMPTOMS THAT ALSO CORRESPOND TO THE SIDE EFFECTS OF ASPARTAME, and I'm wondering how many of these people are taking the chewable variety, and the problem is the Aspartame (see www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html for example of list.) My 8 yr old son has taken singulair for years also, and we cut the adult dose in half to avoid the aspartame - no problems. | F | 49 | 4 years | 12/12/2005 | 1 | for asthma and allergy | My son became more sensitive and very serious.Shortly after falling asleep my son would wake up with night terrors. He was really asleep but could not wake up.He was very scared and acting crazy.This had not happened since he last took the med 3 years ago. I forgot this med was the cause and now took it for 2 days and the results were the same as 3 years ago | After comforting back into bed and telling Him he was OK he eventually fell asleep.3 years ago he was taking for1-2 years and he had many night terrors. After it was out of his system he never had them again. Even if it took all asthma symptoms away it is not worth taking if a person's mind is so affected. | M | 13 | 2 days | 12/11/2005 | 1 | Asthmatic cough | After one brief episode of bad couging in the fall of 2004, my son now age 3 was prescribed Singulair chewable tablets. Around late August/early September this year he began to have atonic seizures consisting of like "head drop" seizures where he would hurt his head and face and his eyes would slightly roll back - these would just last about 2 seconds max. and he would have anywhere between 5 and 24 a day. Despite the reluctancy of our son's pediatrician, we took him off the Singulair on Oct 31st as we suspect the Singulair - also, the aspartame that is in the chewable tabs of Singulair can contribute to seizures. Today he had an EEG and we are awaiting an appointment with a pediatric neurologist tomorrow. | We would encourage all parents to research this drug more closely. | M | 3 | 1 years | 12/6/2005 | 1 | seasonal allergies "Beware" | After taking just one pill in the evening I awoke to numbness in my right side and a feeling of pins and needles.After 4 days I still have numbness in the palm of my hand the fatty part of my upper arm , stomach and thigh all on the right side.Fatty tissue area.Anyone else had this problem? Dr. told me to take 25 mg of Benadril every 4 hours for a day......I hope that this helps !!!!!!!!! | F | 61 | 1 days | 11/23/2005 | 2 | Chronic rhinitis | Increased appetite (I was eating everything in sight and even dreaming about food), panic attacks, lethargy, feeling like I was about to black out, and worst of all, the most severe migraine I've ever had. | It seemed to help the chronic runny nose a little, but not enough to put up with the awful side effects. I stopped taking it after the severe headache began, and haven't tried it since. | F | 57 | 6 days | 11/19/2005 | 1 | sinus infections and allergies | In my son: moodiness, agitation, trouble sleeping, extreme restlessness, and trouble focussing. He got the 'fidgets' to such a degree his teacher is baffled. Also has heightened sensitivity. In myself: A worsening of my asthma, moodiness, anxiety, migraine headaches (the like of which I've never experienced), and sensitivity. | My son and I have both been on Singulair for about two months. My son began to be restless, almost manic. He has a hard time sitting still now, and can't concentrate on what you're saying. His teacher noticed the difference about five weeks ago and said I should take him to the doctor (thinking ADHD, no doubt). I didn't think of the drug correlating with his symptoms until now, when I went over the dates. My side effects were a worsening of my asthma. I was taking it for my allergies, but my asthma had died down to where I had even let my inhalor expire; I never needed it anymore. Soon after being on Singulair I began having asthma attacks again. Lately it seems I'm using my new inhalor every other day. Also, I have noticed a change in my general feeling of wellbeing--I have anxiety and fits of depression that are unusual for me. I am taking both myself and my son off this drug, and hopefully our symptoms will go away. Please, if you have had adverse reactions to this dru | F | 36 | 2 months | 11/18/2005 | 3 | pediatric severe allergies | irritability, restless sleep, "jumping" in sleep, bad dreams, ?ear infections? | Our daughter has been on singulair(along with prevacid and bromphed) for over a year now. She seems to have done O.K. but recently she is not sleeping well and she is keeping an ear infection ALL the time. I can't wait to discuss this with her MD. I had NO IDEA her symptoms fit so well into the catagory of side effects. I'm curious because she has been on the meds for so long without obvious problems. | F | 2.5 | 1.5 years | 11/5/2005 | 1 | asthma and allergies | hypersensitivity, depression, severe anxiety, irritability, muscle aches, inability to sleep. | this drug is horrible for children. if i could give it a negative rating i would. it works on the allergy and asthma symptoms, but turns my son into a completely different person. don't put your kids on it!!!! | M | 3 | 1 years | 10/24/2005 | 5 | asthma | none | wonderful medication,only have to use my inhaler occasionally. I can finally breath with no chest tightness. I can run up and down the stairs with no wheezing and shortness of breath.. | F | 58 | 66 days | 10/22/2005 | 5 | Severe asthma | None whatsoever! | This is a miracle drug if you have severe asthma! I've been on it for 2 years. The past 1 year, I don't even have to use daily inhalers as prevention like Serevent and Flovent! I have my life back thanks to Singulair! | F | 29 | 2 years | 10/21/2005 | 5 | Asthma | None - No rapid heart beats like the other drugs i used to take, like theo something ( theo-dur). | Had a Very bad asthma attacka in 1998. Went to the hospital and the attack was broken , but came back that same nite. This was going on for months for the first time in my life ( I was 39 when this happened). Usually the emergency room visit was all that i needed. Finally was referred to a pulmuary (lung) doctor ( expensive doctor but worht every penny) and he put me on a new drug called Singulair. After taking it for 1 week i was able to breath again, no more tightness and/or suffcation feelings. I still get asthma attacks once or twice every 3-4 years. I take this drug on and off, but i know when to start, when i get a cold. After i get cold or Flu the asthma follows, thats when i start taking it. | M | 4 years | 10/18/2005 | 1 | Asthma | Severe sinusitis. I started taking singulair for asthma which was not that bad. Seasonal. Soon afterwards I developed severe upper respiratory infections. I no longer take singulair but am on 10mgs of prednisone a day to keep my nasal passages unblocked. I've gained 30 pounds and are dealing with the other side effects of being on steroids for 3 years now. | I really dind't need sigulair at all. My doctor just thought it would help me manage my asthma. Now I'm worse off. | M | 47 | 1 years | 10/18/2005 | 2 | occassional asthma | The teachers wanted me to test my child for ADHD b/c he could not sit still, focus or concentrate. He had odd twitches and hand movements during class. He is in the 6th grade and this has never been reported before. He has been on the medicine since the start of school. We are taking him off now but will worry about his health. This is a very powerful drug that works, but at what cost. We were not willing to pay the price. | M | 11 | 3 months | 10/17/2005 | 3 | cough variant asthma | Irritability, extremely hypersensitivity, unable to focus, not able to complete tasks Take time and closely examine the hypersensitivity and the irritability areas. | In the begining I thought it was wonderful. but slowly but surely my son began to suffer in school. unable to focus or complete tasks. He just became irritable and extra hyper. His grades began to suffer Especially in the area of mathematics. It works because he never had to use an inhaler. The problem is the side effects. So I took him and his sister off the meds and am TRUSTING GOD for their complete healing. I'll point out my son has not had to use an inhaler since being off the meds for almost a month. My daughter ,5, has been extremely irritable and angry. that why I took my daughter off the meds. She had only been on them maybe 1 and 1/2 year give or take a few months. | M | 10 | 3 years | 10/7/2005 | 2 | respiratory allergy | This week started seeing, hearing things. Little things. A glance at a thing and I see it wrong, clearly but wrong. A name written down, the time, the sentence someone said I heard completely wrong. She spoke, I heard her voice but the words were not what she said. It was clear too. Am also tired, distracted, just wonkie. | Not that good for allergy but can breathe through my nose. Still feels congested, ears still congested. Eyes and ears itch still. Still had to use inhaler during a cold. No sinus infections, though. A blessing but not enough to be on another planet. I am quitting singulair. Going to get allergy shots and use the steroid spray. | F | 60 | 60 days | 9/24/2005 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma Chronic Rhinitus | Severe Nightmares, Moodiness, Panic Attacks | I was only taking this product for 6 days. I noticed I had a severe nightmare the first night I took the product. I did not realize until the next day that bad dreams/nightmares were a side effect. 5 days later I could not sleep, my mind was racing, and I was having a panic attack and could not keep a clear thought. I will NEVER use this product again and would not recommend it to anyone I know. | F | 28 | 6 days | 9/21/2005 | 5 | Severe Asthma (also allergies) | None | This has been the miracle drug of my life. I haven't been to the hospital ever since I started taking it. I have never had to go to the ER and be put on predisone or anything! Thank the makers of this drug, for it has changed my life forever! I love singulair! | F | 20 | 6.5 years | 9/20/2005 | 1 | allergies | Upper respiratory infection; abdominal pain | Worked well for allergies, but side effects were not worth benefits. | F | 52 | 14 days | 9/5/2005 |
