SINGULAIR  (MONTELUKAST SODIUM):  Montelukast is used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma and decrease the number of asthma attacks. Montelukast is also used before exercise to prevent breathing problems during exercise (bronchospasm). This medication can help decrease the number of times you need to use your rescue inhaler. This medication is also used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, stuffy/runny/itchy nose). This medication does not work right away and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks or other breathing problems. This drug works by blocking certain natural substances (leukotrienes) that may cause or worsen asthma and allergies. It helps make breathing easier by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the airways.   FDA Approval Date: 1998-02-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  asthma It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY, however, I can't get off it anymore without issues. I started taking it for occasional bad episodes, and would ween myself off it. However, now it seems like my lungs cannot breath well without it. Aside from that I consider it a miracle drug. It allows me to spend time, hours, in homes with cats. Truly a phenomenon for me.

 1  asthma/allergies I noticed that after about 2 months I started having really terrible nightmares, became very restless at night and unable to lay still in bed. I took 10mg last night before bed like usual and had the most horrific experience ever. I had an overwhelming feeling of fear, felt like someone was in the room with me when I was alone, and stared seeing things move in the shadows. I could not sleep, I was too scared to close my eyes. I stopped taking the pill cold turkey tonight, and I am hoping all of these side effects go away. I will post an update after a week. F 29 3 months

 1  non allergic rhinitis The worst anxiety I have ever experienced. I took one pill of the generic (Montelukast Sodium 10 Mg) around 11pm, by 12am I started experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and severe palpitations. Another weird side-effect, my sinuses got so inflamed that not even Afrin was able to bring the inflammation down. I was not able to sleep at all after taking that poison. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this medication. M 43 1 days

 1  Sinus/Allergies My 11 year old son taking for 3 weeks. Last night in ER for severe body tremor and double vision. This is the ONLY medication he is on. Dr. said this drug may cause these side effects. I would use extreme caution using this drug in children. Informed prescribing physician and will insist on letting Merck know this happened. This drug should be used with EXTREME CAUTION. Never again for my son. Merck needs to be upfront about these potential side effects. I am hearing this more and more with this drug. M 11 3 weeks

 1  Son taking it Worsened depression horrible anxiety doesn't want to leave house. Made his sleep issues worsen. In the last year he gained a lot of weight while having insomnia which turned into an eating disorder. He was always so thin. This is the worst medication for anyone in hides the real problems of what is making him have allergies , sinus infections and asthma. It has helped his sinus infection. But he still needs inhaler. I am trying to convince him of the true facts of this medication and what it is doing to his life and state of mind. Now I'm afraid the side effects regarding his heart when he goes off of it. Please discontinue use of this medication. Please have a site on how to discontinue use of this medication without side effects. M 24 3

 1  Asthma & allergies I felt Singulair worked very well for my asthma and allergies, however I had 3 seperate increasingly violent nighttime episodes where I believed someone had entered my room while I slept and I attacked them. It turns out I was only attacking my lamp, and a wall. The 3rd time I hurt myself so bad that I am still unable to walk on my swollen knee. I recommend making sure you aren't prone to sleep walking or nightmares before taking this medication. I have stopped taking singulair after realizing these instances began after I started taking this med 6 months ago. I recall terrible dreams as well. I was a sleepwalker/talker as a child and have always had some issues around sleep but these episodes were extremely out of the ordinary and obviously well out of my childhood F 39 6 months

 1  Allergies I took montkelust for several days and I cried, had anxiety, lost my temper and contemplated suicide. I am a happy, stable person and was baffled at the irrationality of my thoughts. Then I forgot to take it for a few days. I felt better, took it again and the symptoms returned. I am so glad i finally read the warning label and put two and two together. What an awful experience.

 1  To help with asthma/allergies Sleepless nights, depression, quick to anger and most importantly violent voices yelling in my daughters head. She was terrified. We stopped after 7 days and the side effects are going away. Our pediatrician dismissed this as we called her and recommended a psychiatrist. No one took the extra step to help till the Walgreens pharmacist pointed the side effects out to us. We're not alone and the side effects are real. F 11 7 days
