I am a 32 year old female diagnosed with asthma and allergies as a child. This is very reassuring for me, all these posts, because I thought there was something really wrong with me. Maybe it will be as simple as not taking Singulair anymore. Today is day one. I have been taking 10 mg a day for the past 7 years. I have had increasing thoughts of suicide, have terrible moods swings, am paranoid and suspicious of everything, and a rash that comes and goes. I am severely depressed and have absolutely no interest in activities I once enjoyed. I saw the news a few days ago and there was some talk of singulair linked to suicide and I felt so relieved. I was so uncomfortable telling anyone about how I was feeling because it didn't make any sense. I was always blowing things way out of proportion in my head and couldn't talk myself out of it. I used to exercise, read, paint, and socialize. I never do any of those things anymore. I'm happy at work because I have to be, and am distracted by my clients. But as soon as the workday ends I drive home feeling empty and when I get home I get the bare minimum of chores done. I used to go walking with my IPOD and rollerblade in the park. Now I sit and watch TV for hours and have significant trouble sleeping.

The reason is when you stop taking the Lipitor, and your symptoms don't go away is this: Lipitor cause hearing loss, which is what causes the Tinnitus! I have been having severe tinnitus for months now, seen all kinds of Dr.s who didn't have a clue. And I finally went to the House Ear Clinic, and they told me what it was, but they didn't know how I got it. I got Tinnitus a few months after my Dr. upped my dose. It's taken me this long to put the puzzle together. The Physician's Desk Reference lists hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness as side effects of Lipitor. I am appalled that not one Dr. asked me what kind of medication I was taking!
