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?

I started taking Singulair for moderate to severe nasal allergies about 2 to 3 weeks ago. I found this site because I googled "Singulair" and "dreams." For the past week or so, I've been having some of the most bizaare dreams I've ever had. I wouldn't really call them nightmares, though. Also, last night, I felt odd all night, couldn't sleep well - atea half a bagel in the middle of the night, reminding myself to really chew and swallow (since I was half a sleep) so I wouldn't choke- felt like I'd taken Sudafed or a lot of caffeine or some amphetamine or other mind-altering drug...or like I was in the middle of a high fever and not myself....

So far, I haven't seen any effect with the allergies, but I've heard it could take a month. I take Zyrtec daily, but it makes me drowsy, so I was looking for something else. Did the shots for years and years...last time was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Probably helped, but now I need antihistamine every day again...The nasal steroid sprays make my nose bleed...

I think all these central nervous system affects mentioned on this site are really scary....Anything that messes with my head like that..I don't want...Thanks for posting, everyone.

I've also had more trouble seeing after using 1 spritz of Nasonex in each nostril once a day (for several months). I've also felt progressively more tired. Most concerning, and my reason for being here, is that I developed a Rosacea-like condition. My dermatologist dx'd me with mild Rosacea, which is unbelievable to me, as my family line has nothing like this in it. When I did a Net search on Rosacea, it mentioned that steroids can cause this condition. Also, Rosacea is progressive and can damage the eyes and even cause loss of vision. So, if you suspect that this nasal steroid is affecting your vision, I'd recommend getting off of it. Oral and nasal steroids can become systemic if taken for long periods of time. This is common knowlege in medical circles. I took myself off of Nasonex today and am already starting to feel better.
