Started taking Advair 7/27/07. Since then I have alot of twitching. In my legs, my arms and sometimes even my head twitches suddenly. I used to be able to sleep late in the morning, but now the twitching wakes me up.
Have also experienced some chest tightness.

I had been taking Singulair for about 18 months and it did help my allergy and asthma symptoms alot. However, for over a year I have been experiencing extreme body fatique for no apparent reason. It would come and go a bit, but never fully go away. I went to several different doctors and got blood tests done which always showed everything pretty much normal. I finally started looking more closely at the side effects of my pharmaceutical meds. Years ago I discovered that the steroid based inhalants and nose sprays made me very moody and depressed over time. So, I looked on this site for effects for Singulair and noticed that some adults mentioned fatigue. (By the way, I was appalled at the side effects in some children.) I have been off Singulair now for over a month and have felt great! My energy level is back up to normal and I don't have any more of that heavy body fatigue. Be aware that some side effects creep up on you so that you don't automatically make the connection between the drug and what's going on in your body. I won't make this mistake a third time.

I've only been on singulair for 6 days and it is now 4:23am. I just couldn't sleep tonight. I've been having the strangest dreams and I commented to my wife about them. We just laughed it off. Anyway, at this time of the morning, my EARS are "Hissing" so loudly, not ringing, however I do detect a slight pulsating tonal sound in my left ear, that I just couldn't sleep anymore. I've a history of Tinnitus but something has exacerbated my tinnitus dramatically, so much so it is keeping me awake. I think I'll be needing something to help me sleep now. Perhaps I will stay off the Singulair for now just to see if life returns to some kind of normalcy. Could it be a side effect of Singulair. I don't know but I felt like driving something through my head to stop all the loud noise. Has anyone else experienced elevated levels, or a new development of "Ringing in the Ears", commonly known as Tinnitus?
