Disclose symptoms and conditions

Oh MY LORD! I can NOT believe what I am reading. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have been taking Singulair for approximately 3 months. I went to a local doctor concerning yet another sinus infection when my doctor was out of town - she prescribed Singular for my allergies and I have been praising her ever since... until this past week. My allergies were non-existent and, until recently, I hadn't noticed any side effects.

I did not get my refill on time and went a couple of days without my Singulair, when I refilled it and started up again the INSANE side effects began. It wasn't until this morning that it occurred to me that these two things coincided and I should check the side effects online. Thank you ALL for writing here!

I have been EXTREMELY depressed, anxious and having terrible nightmares. I nearly had what I can best describe as a panic attack on the way to work this morning, for NO REASON. I actually began talking to my family about seeking therapy because I could see no reason for feeling the way that I did! It has been about a week of this and I was really becoming frightened. It was really only the suddenness of all of these symptoms that helped me make the connection.

I also haven't been wearing my contact lenses because my eyes have been so itchy! My goodness! Is this all from this drug?? I have not taken anything else. I am 31 years old and otherwise healthy - I can't believe I am going through all of this to avoid a sinus infection!

Goodbye, Singulair! Sweet dreams and happy wakings to me!!

Thank you again to all that wrote here - and for any readers - BE AWARE - all that glitters is NOT gold. While this may seem like the GREATEST thing ever for allergies, please take note of your other behaviors. When Singulair turns on you it takes no prisoners!

I am so thankful that I found this website! My 9 year old daughter has been taking Singulair for 2 1/2 months now. At first we were so relieved that she was hardly ever having to use her inhaler for asthma and thought this medicaton was a God sent blessing. Previous to taking Singulair she was a bit spoiled, but much easier to control and I don't recall her having an 'outburst' of anger before the medication. She is normally a very outgoing, likeable child. As of lately however she yells, throws things, cries, hates everyone most of the time (lately even says she hates herself), is scared to death to go ANYWHERE with just me and her without any apparent reason and just acts miserable. My husband and I finally broke down this week and admitted there was without a doubt a change that had to be taken in her attitude. We went to the therapist for an evaluation and a referral to a child physiologist. We are just getting more and more afraid that there is truly a problem that isn't going away. We just couldn't seem to get her under control no matter what we did. We took things away, spanked her, put her in time out and grounded her. Nothing worked. She has been totally unemotional when it comes to punishment. We had convinced ourselves she was a spoiled brat and didn't know where to begin in unspoiling her. When, discussing her behavior we let them know it started getting A LOT worse 2 1/2 months or so ago. Later in the interview, they asked what medications she was on and how long she had been taking them. It was then that it clicked that it was about the same time. I came home and started researching Singulair, since obviously they don't disclose this at this time. I am shocked at the number of people reporting the same side effects, greatful to have this website and hopeful this is our main problem. Today is Monday and she has not taken it since Friday, so it's just been a few days. She has had a couple of instances of 'brattiness', but hasn't had an explosive fit, throwing things, yelling, etc. since Thursday night. I'll keep a close eye on things and re-post once I see how she does. Usually her fits are every day or every other day. She even called me at work today to complain her dad wasn't being fair and wasn't yelling like she has been. I was off of the phone with her within 2-3 minutes and haven't heard from her again. This is VERY unusual for her as of the last couple of months, so maybe we're on the road to recovery!

ITS ONLY BEEN 5 DAYS SINCE I GOT A SHOT OF KENALOG FOR ECZEMA ON 7 OF MY FINGERS. THE BLISTERING AND OOZING WAS PRETTY BAD AND WAS SPREADING FAST(IT ONLY STARTED WITH ONE FINGER) THE SHOT IMMEDIATELY CLEARED IT UP AND WAS LOOKING BETTER WITHIN 3-4 DAYS...NO DISCOLORATION OR INDENTS ON THE HIP....A LITTLE IRRITABLE....I THANK GOD THE SHOT WORKED, BUT AFTER READING SOME OF THE SIDE EFFECTS, I THINK I'D THINK TWICE ABOUT DOING IT AGAIN....BY THE WAY, MY DERMATOLOGIST DID NOT DISCLOSE THE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE DRUG....I DID ASK HIM PRIOR TO HIM GIVING IT TO ME BUT..HIS RESPONSE WAS VERY VAGUE AND PRETTY MUCH SAID THAT I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS BECAUSE I PROBABLY WON'T GET ANY BECAUSE THE DOSAGE WAS LOW .....30MG
