| 1 | Allergy induced asthma | Extream pressure in ears, vertigo, achey joints mostly hips and shoulders. Horrible indigestion with heart burn and acid reflux. Anxiety, feeling like I was going to die (which I have never had my entire life). Heart pounding and heart palpitations. Numbness with pins and needles, on face, left arm and left calf. Brain fog, forgetfulness, no get up and go. Two lung infections and I've had lung inflammation once. I believe these are all side effects of singular. Side effects came on gradually and I never thought it could be because of singular. I stopped taking it by accident ( forgot to pick up my rx) and realized my hips weren't hurting. I continued from there cold turkey. | I've been off for two months now and I'm so much better. It didn't happen for me right away. Joint pain and indigestion went away first with in a few days. Palpitations were next to go.. Brain fog and numbness took about a month to get better (pin and needles went away with in a week of stopping singular) anxiety is SO much better, still have little episodes and heart pounding every once in a while. My symptoms (now I know side effects) were really bad for two years I'm hoping they continue to go completely away. Singular has ruined the last two years of my life! I thought I was going crazy. I've been to my Dr eight times in the past two years, I've been to a neurologist, and I've had a treadmill test. All because of singular. Don't take it, it will kill you or ruin your life!! I can't get these years back thank God for my husband that is absolutely amazing and just kept telling me we'll figure this out. If anyone can say how long it took them to feel 100% normal again please say how long it took. I'm praying this is not my new normal, these little bouts of anxiety and heart pounding just keep reminding me I'm not quite back to my normal. | F | 47 | 4 years | 5/14/2016 | 1 | Exercise asthma | Horrible side effects emotionally and mentally. I have allergy to steroids. They cause depression etc. Doctor stated no steroid in singular and I asked about psychiatric side effects as I had looked up. It took me 3 weeks on medication to realize once again deeper depression. Fatigue..yet restlessness to initiate a chore and then couldn't motivate myself to do it. Self centered fear. Almost a phobic feeling of going places. Hopelessness. Which with my spirituality never experienced so strong. Isolation due to how I felt internally and didn't want to interact with people because I felt so low. I am a very outgoing person. Which changed taking singular. I almost thought of going into a mental health facility because I couldn't understand what had given me such a turn or a change in my thoughts and behaviors. I stopped last night. Still feeling the after effects. But I said to Doctor about side effects depression etc. he said minuscule. Actually feel he didn't believe that steroid inhalers caused depression . I will never go near steroid inhalers and it singular or drugs similar. I felt like I was almost having a breakdown | I would never suggest anyone taking this medicine singular. Or at least having a lengthy conversation of side effects. Not minimizing so. Even then I would say. It's not worth it. The drug is evil and if you don't connect psychiatric side effects if present ..to this drug. Singular. You might destroy your mental health. Even give you thoughts of suicide. Many people may say. Oh I have no side effects and singular works good. I suggest you read many testimonies of people whose life fell apart | F | 65 | 3 weeks 10 mg | 5/12/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Headaches emotional. I would sleep good and wake up tired. Bad dreams. Tremors nervousness,body aches, itching and couldn't stay awake. Oh numbness. Thoughts of suicide. This was in a two day ( 2 dosage) period. | I would not recommend this medication. I took the generic brand montelukast. | F | 50 | 1 days 10mg | 4/28/2016 | 5 | asthma | None. | This drug gave me my life back. I was in a clinical trials study for it over 20 yrs ago, and have been on it ever since. A wonderful side-effect was the lose of all allergy symptoms as well. | F | 53 | 10 years 10 mg | 4/26/2016 | 1 | Allergies | Fear, terrible anxiety, crying, complete mood change for my son. He was the happiest boy and then went to the saddest, most fearful child. WORST DRUG EVER! | I would NEVER give this to a child. The doctor took no responsibility for my son't reaction to the medication. | M | 6 | 6 weeks 5 mg 1X day | 4/8/2016 | 3 | asthma due to stress and dog allerg | Dreams, sadness, anxiety, bad lower back pain, jaw pain, extremely tire during first few weeks of usage | Worked well at decreasing my asthma and nasal congestion symptoms due to dog allergy but not worth the joint pains (back, jaw and knees) | F | 44 | 2 months 10mg | 3/21/2016 | 1 | Urticaria | Dark circles and became flat,glum and tearful and also very tired. | Horrible medication. Seeing the change in my daughter was very upsetting. Medicine now stopped but have be warned that it could take a while to leave her system. | F | 12 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 3/18/2016 | 2 | sinus infection | Dark circles | F | 30 | 1 weeks 10mg | 3/15/2016 | 2 | sinus infection | Dark circles | F | 30 | 1 weeks 10mg | 3/15/2016 | 2 | Allergic rhinitis, TMD | Extreme lethargy, dry mouth, sleepiness, depressed mood, increased appetite, weight gain. | Does get rid of backdrip for a few hours, but it quickly returns. The downside is barely being able to function or stay awake. If you suffer from mild depression, this will make it much worse. I was on it for 2 days and gained 2 pounds. If I'm willing to put up with the weight gain, Benadryl works much better. | F | 63 | 2 days | 3/14/2016 | 5 | Asthma allergies | Did not notice any | I had no wheezing, no itching of the throat | F | 64 | 1 years | 3/9/2016 | 3 | asthma | WEIGHT GAIN!!! The weight gain was evident and uncontrollable. I gained 17 lbs in 7 weeks with eating less and exercising more. There were times when there was extreme urgency to move my bowels. Intense Diarrhea. The diarrhea wasn't a constant when on the med but when I had it the intensity was worse then a stomach virus and URGENT. Again the most obvious side effect was weight gain. I was shocked when it wasn't listed as a side effect. If it wasn't for being in touch with my body and being fit this weight gain could of went on for a while. I'm thankful for the people on the internet that supported and voiced this very same side effect. | M | 39 | 2 months 10 MG 1X day | 3/8/2016 | 1 | Sinus congestion | Extreme depression, suicidal thoughts, aggressive | Really hateful drug | F | 48 | 1 years 30 | 2/29/2016 | 1 | My son for breathing/asthma/allergies | Awful, awful drug! Sent my son into a tailspin. Terrified of everything, anxious, crying, certain he was dying, wouldn't leave my side. Said to me, "I can't control my brain! I don't know how to!" | Terrible drug. Do not use. | M | 8 | 1 months 10 mg | 2/11/2016 | 2 | Still taking | Diarreha, moodswings, all of the serious side effects, have mood swings with out it because of hypoxia, from Asthma and sleep apnea.caused by liver failure which causes high stomach acid the sets and eats away at my bronchial tubes ,lungs ,and sinis cavity and esophagitis Esophegal Airway. | Dying from this. | M | 54 | 1 years 20 | 2/10/2016 | 1 | Asthma and allergies | My son was on this for one day and he had horrible panic and anxiety attacks. Poor thing didn’t even want to go outside and he loves playing outside. He cant stand dog noises either when he loves our dog at home. NOT RECCOMENDED AT ALL! NOT WORTH IT! | M | 1 | 1 days 4 mg | 2/10/2016 | 1 | Chronic Cough/Bronchitis | Loss of appetite, nausea, couldn't fall asleep,lay awake for hours,very anxious/hyper, changes in breathing pattern, faster heart rate,palpitations. | This drug has way too many side effects. Would rather cope with my cough than all these other maladies. Will not take again. Pharmacist & Dr should be more aware & warn people. I suffer with anxiety & depression already; this drug made it 10 times worse. | F | 63 | 4 weeks 10 1X day | 2/8/2016 | 3 | Dog/cat allergies | I am extremely allergic to dogs/cats but I live with 3 dogs and am involved in animal welfare. I have tried other OTC and prescription medications with not much relief. I researched Singulair and read the reviews. I asked my doctor to write me a prescription and mentioned all of the reviews where I had read about the side effects of nightmares and suicidal thoughts. He laughed it off and asked me if I believed everything I read on the internet (I will not be seeing him again). I told him no, but that there were so many people saying the same things. I began taking Singulair and could finally breathe again and not spend my days blowing my nose and sneezing. Almost immediately I started having crazy dreams and they felt like they went on all night so I was exhausted in the morning. After several months I wasn't dreaming as much but now my whole body seems sore all of the time. I'm 45 and feel like an old woman when I get up after I've been sitting a while. I don't take any other medications | F | 45 | 8 months 1X day | 1/26/2016 | 1 | Allergies | I have done nothing but cry and feel anxiety attacks for the past few weeks. Plus tremors and I haven't slept a decent night in over a week. I suddenly remembered a comment my Dr made when he prescribed it. "It might cause depression...but it is rare." I didn't expect any side effects because I rarely have problems with medications...but I think what I am experiencing is a side effect of this med. I cannot remember feeling so sad and hopeless in years...and the anxiety attacks are awful. I'm done taking this pill...back to benedryl for me. | F | 44 | 3 months 10 MG | 1/24/2016 | 1 | allergies | My son developed uncontrollable anxiety, crying, irrational fears and thoughts, body pains, muscle twitches. I feel horrible that I allowed him to be put on this medication. I will NEVER trust big pharma. They know | M | 11 | 3 weeks 5 | 1/4/2016 |
