I am 40-years-old and took Singulair for about two months. I first took it for about two weeks and got horrible symptoms and then stopped for a week and then tried it again for about a month. Never again will I put Singulair into my body. My symptoms were chronic and severe muscle cramps and twitching, restless legs, body aches, numbness, tingling, hair loss, weight gain, and skin changes (urticaria and angioedema). I also used to suffer from menorrhagia to where now I barely get a cycle. I cannot blame Singulair for the headaches/migraines because I have been a headache/migraine suffering for many years.

When I first stopped taking Singulair the symptoms calm down. But since then they have come back with a vengence. I have been to several specialty doctors (family doctor first, endocrinologist, neurologist, allergist and rheumatologist). Now please let me defend myself by saying I see my family doctor and gynecologist yearly for a physical and also when I am sick and I have always been basically a very healthy, and slender woman with thick hair. I was on no other medications other than ibuprofen and acetaminophen for the headaches/migraines. What they have found so far is that I have secondary autoimmune hypothyroidism (only my TPO antibody and thryoglobulin are extremely elevated, but my TSH, T3 and T4 are completely normal), and allergies to everything outside (no food or pet allergies) and idiopathic lupus (because my skin has developed urticaria and angioedema).

I am going for an EMG and MRI of the brain in one week because they are trying to rule out MS. They have been saying that my symptoms look like MS or lupus. They have ruled out lupus because my blood tests do not show lupus only my skin is acting like lupus. My allergist put me on doxepin for my skin and twitching symptoms. This medication has helped my skin and slowed down the twitching.

I am not trying to blame Singulair, but it is very strange that I was a basically healthy person with some outdoor allergies and mild asthma. I would get pneumonia once a year also (always around the holidays). Now, I feel like crap since taking Singulair. My legs are the worst of all the symptoms along with the constant twitch under my right eye. This can drive a person insane, especially when you are trying to relax and your body cannot.

Thanks for listening,

I have only been taking Yasmin for a month and a half, but after reading this laundry list of side effects, I think it's safe to say that it may be the cause of some of the problems I've been having. I have never, ever had a yeast infection and I believe I had my first one shortly after my first menstrual cycle while on Yasmin (a plus -- my usually lengthy period only lasted a week and there were only 2 heavy days). I find it so difficult to get up in the morning, and when I get home from work (even the many days I only work part-time), I'm exhausted. I'm so irritable even *I* don't want to be around me most of the time, and I knew there was a problem when I found myself just wanting to get away from my precious and well-behaved 9-month-old daughter. I have a call into my doctor's office and hopefully this will be the last month I'm on this pill. It had such great word-of-mouth, I was really surprised to read all of these negatives -- however, the only change in my lifestyle over the past month and a half has been taking Yasmin, and that's when all these negatives began occurring for me.
