I dream constantly every night, the curtian moving in the room could wake me and I have fibromyalgia. Ambien (regular) works wonders for me for about 4 hours. I'm out. Sleep wake rested...just don't know what to do with the rest of my night. Puts my fibromyalgia into remission. I tried CR to see if I could get 8 hours of sleep. OMG, the 4 days I took it around 10pm..up at 7a but I don't remember anything until about 10a and parts of my day after were missing. Drowsy all day, irritable. NO MORE CR.

No one has mentioned very vivid dream at night? I also have the fatigue, and wake up groggy even after 10 hours of sleep, but the dreams...weird.
Anyone else have this?

I was prescribed 500mgs. levaquin x five days. On the 3rd day I developed cotton mouth, bitter taste on my lips and no matter what I eat it tastes bland at best, bitter usually. I also have a very annoying dry cough that drives me and my husband crazy especially during the nighttime. I also have been experiencing insomnia which has left me the knowledge that night time TV sucks. However, when I do fall asleep its like I'm at the movies. My dreams are vivid and long lasting. They are not fragmented as dreams should be as a result of the cyclic nature of human sleep patterns. When I dream it is literally like I'm watching a movie. I have noticed that even though I get minimal hours of sleep, whenever I wake up I feel like I am fully rested. I usually require 7-8 hours to feel this rested. Interesting how this happened. I wonder if a sleep lab might take a look at this phenomena. I have also developed pain in my rt. knee with an accompanying clicking sound which was never there before. I also have blurring of my vision which made me feel like I need a new prescription for my glasses. This seemed strange since I had a new presription only 4months ago.
So let's tally; systems involved
sensory (taste, vision), respiratory, musculoskeletal and CNS. Gee I got all of this just because I had a UTI. On the more serious side, I was never warned of potential side efffects either by my physician nor my pharmacist. This I feel is a great disservice to the public. If anyone had the bitter taste thing how long did it last? Please comment on other side effects with advice for recovery. As patients taking this drug, we should know what the half-life is, how long it takes to metabolize and how long to detox after discontinuing. Let's hope we will be ourselves again soon, Deb

Been on Singulair since 98. I am 53. I too get heart palpitations and difficulty breathing for a short period a few minutes after taking it but only once in a while. It helps my asthma but if I go off of it for a while my breathing is quite impaired for 4 or 5 days then improves but not to the level achieved with the Singulair. I dream more and have some nasty nightmares especially if I take ibuprofin at bed time. The reason I go off of the drug periodically and take Ibuprofin is that I am much more succeptible to muscle cramping, spasms, hip pain and tendonitis while on this drug. I used to be a runner/racer but had to quit race training because my back and neck would cramp up. I get tendonitis easily in my forarms from activities that never bothered me before. I have had back spasms for 2 months that did not improve with ice, heat, Ibuprofin, chiropractic or physical therapy until I remembered the Singulair connection two days ago and stopped taking it. Today I am noticing improvement for the first time. Once my back heals up I think I will try reducing the dosage to 5 mg and see if it is enough to help my breathing without the muscle problems.

I have been on 100 mg of Zoloft for 8 months after a several years of prolonged stressed leading to depression. It has been a life saver. I feel like I have my happy, balanced life back. No weight gain, no anxiety, no mood swings. However, I do have problems recently with my jaw. I feel like I have TMJ. I have jaw pain and my bite doesn't feel right. I also have very vivid dreams, so vivid I sometimes have to stop during the day and ask myself did I dream that or was it real when the dream pertains to daily living. I am wondering if I need to cut back now to 50 mg.
