| 1 | Asthma | Depression, moodiness, extreme sensitive, weepy, anxiety, muscle ache, hard time focusing, very tired but could not sleep, when able to sleep vivid dreams that fell right in with my depression and sensitive. | This is sad for me. The drug did wonders for my asthma. I had no use for the inhaler since I started but then one day at work Depression and extreme sensitive just hit me like a freight train. I had to take a 30 min break because I was scared and shaking so bad I could not work. Glad it was Friday. I continued taking it over the weekend and was ok. Then on Monday it hit me again and I was barely able to finish my day. Monday night was the worst I couldnĘt sleep and when I did I had dreams that scared me. In the course of 6 hours I woke up about 20 times. Tuesday I left work early and went home to rest and play with my children and couldnĘt keep from crying all day. That night I stopped taking it and prayed that it was the problem. I write this on Thursday feeling significantly better now. I can work and am only slightly down and sensitive. I like the drug but the depression and sensitive is too much for me to handle. | M | 29 | 14 days | 8/25/2005 | 5 | asthma/sinusititus | None | Prior to using Singulair I was having sinus surgeries approx every 18 months. No surgeries needed since and my sinuses are gerat all the time (wow!). Singulair also allowed me to reduce my inhaled steroids to the minimum levels - asthma flares now only occur when I have a respritory infection. | M | 44 | 3 years | 7/25/2005 | 5 | Asthma | none | This is the greatest medication I've EVER taken! It controls my asthma so well that I have only had to use my inhaler once in the last 6 months...compared to having to use it multiple times a day (like 6 - 8 times per day) prior to taking singulair. PLUS, the singulair helps control my allergies! I have not noticed any side-effects from this medication, which is extremely rare for me. I usually suffer side-effects from every medication I take and/or the medication quits working for me after a short period of time, but | F | 38 | 4 years | 7/11/2005 | 5 | Chronic Rhinitus/Sinusitis | nasal drippage | I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I'm 26 years old and have suffered from sinus infections as long as I can remember for several times a year. These infections used to get so bad that I would get bloody nose several times a week as well. I used to be teased as I would carry a whole box of Kleenex with me to school. I haven't had a sinus infection in the 2 years that I have been on Singulair (10mg). It's heaven. I'm trying to get my dad on it as well. Having a slight runny nose is NOTHING compared to the pain that I used to be in. Thank you Singulair! | F | 26 | 2 years | 7/11/2005 | 4 | Asthma & seasonal allergies | My daughter occasionally complains of a headache, but I suspect that may be from the Flovent because she has been off of it for a couple of months and has not complained. | Does a pretty good job of controlling her allergy symptoms. Helps somewhat with her asthma but not as well as expected; she still has to take her Flovent through out the winter months. | F | 5 | 9 months | 6/24/2005 | 1 | my 5 yo son took it | 2 days after began taking it, started hitting/biting himself, saying he was | Take extreme caution before giving this drug to your child. | M | 5 | 19 days | 6/21/2005 | 1 | asthma, allergies | mood swings, irritailtiy, violent, leg pains, night terrors, depressed, senstive, drinking like crazy | My son was put on singulair when he was 15 months for very bad asthma and allergies, It worked great for him untill things started that i have just linked to the pill. I can't pin point when they started but the last year things where getting worse and then the braking point was it has been 3 months of night terrors everynight, I could not tkae it any ore and took him off, it has been 3 weeks and what a change already, Im so sorry that i waiting so long. | M | 3 | 2 years | 6/12/2005 | 3 | Allergies | After one month on the drug I have experienced stomach problems, diarrhea, irritailtiy, depression, decreased libido, brain fog,fatigue, and muscle aches. Judging from others comments I am not the only one suffering from these side effects. | This drug did wonders for my allergies but it seems for me the cure is worse than the disease. There should be more info available on this drug for it is not cheap. | F | 34 | 30 days | 6/8/2005 | 3 | Allergy | none | I have mild to moderate allergies throught the year. However I Lost completed sense of smell about a year ago, doctor prescribed singulair and after about 2 weeks for the first time I could smell and helped with allergies. Unfortunately have to continue to keep the benefits. | M | 29 | 2 weeks | 6/8/2005 | 1 | seasonal allergies | repeated ear infections, sinus infections (never had problems with any upper respiratory infections before), irritability, weight gain, headaches, sinuses felt like they were closing off if missed a dose | It was great for awhile, the best drug I ever took for allergies..suffered with them all my life, it relieved all symptoms to the point of not even thinking about them. Then the side effects got too bad to continue using. Looking for a replacement! | M | 39 | 2 years | 6/7/2005 | 5 | allergic rhinitis | I take it at night but it still makes me sleepy during the day. However, I'd rather be sleepy than having miserable allergies! I also experience | I am so glad to have discovered this stuff! I gather it either helps you or it doesn't, and am so glad it helps me! I also take a mind-numbing number of other allergy meds -- allegra, sudafed, flonase, atrovent nasal spray, astelin nasal spray -- but this made the most difference! I still take the other stuff, but this gave me the best spring I've had in YEARS! Oh yes, I take shots too! My allergies are to all inhalants, indoors & out. :-( | F | 56 | 44 days | 6/6/2005 | 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 | 5 | Chronic sinus infections | Mild drowsy? I have small kids, so it's hard to distinguish if it's the meds or life in general... other than that, NOTHING!! :o) | I have not enjoyed clear breathing like this in over 4yrs! After two nights of singulair, I felt like a new person. After 6mos of back to back sinus infections, 90days of antibiotics, a CT scan, it amazes me this would be all it would take to feel human again!! Only been on it a week, but I chucked my Afrin!! Yahoo!!! | F | 30 | 7 days | 5/16/2005 | 2 | Asthma | Severe headaches lasting two or more days. | Singulair definitely cleared up my asthma symptoms. I did not need an inhaler during the time I was taking it. However, the severe headaches forced me to discontinue taking it and I am now back on Ventolin on a daily basis. | M | 53 | 6 months | 5/15/2005 | 2 | Asthma | Palpatations, Myalgia, Insomnia, lethargy, weight gain, depression. | Have been on this drug for a long time and the symptoms came on slowly but now the muscle pain has gotten so bad that the Dr. recomended I cut the dose in half for 4 days and then take half every other day for 4 days to help get off it. I will let you know what happens. The pains have gotten better after just 2 days, but I do have tightness in my chest he said that should get better in a few days | F | 20 | 4 years | 5/11/2005 | 1 | Asthma, Allergies, Sinus Infections | My three year old son's behavior changed completely. He turned violent and had really bad nightmares. | He was taking 4 mlg pills. It was so bad that I discontinued it. | M | 3 | 15 days | 5/10/2005 | 3 | Allergy | A lot of mouth sores/boils on the tongue to the extend that I could not even talk, eat and swallow properly. Thinking of discontinuing the medication. Talking to my doctor for advice. | Prescribed for allergic related congestion. | M | 46 | 2 days | 5/9/2005 | 4 | Asthma | None for the first year, then heartburn starting about an hour after taking the pill each night. It worsened with time. | Worked very well, but couldn't take the side effects. Also, not cheap. | F | 22 | 2 years | 4/29/2005 | 5 | asthma | It was great for my asthma but I developed terrible migraines that made me nonfunctional. | F | 50 | 3 months | 4/21/2005 |
