Ok...now I am really angry. I posted in early June. I am 7-8 weeks out from stopping the drug (only took for 2 weeks) and, while I feel better in the am, I continue to have "attacks" mostly at the end of the day after work or when going to sleep. I have minimal dry mouth/cough (keep drinking water/peeing constantly but ok because I am eating foods to dump water which is why doc wanted me on this poison to begin with). The feeling woozy and nausea has subsided. I continue to have racing heart (happens when about to fall asleep and causes anxiety/insomnia), sharp pains all over the chest and in left arm (constantly think I am having a heart attack/stroke), tingling/burning in hands/feet, and to top it off shooting warm burning pain (very annoying) up and down legs (this is new). My doc told me to get off all my supplements (because he knows nothing about them and thinks they are complicating the picture...now I think he is ignorant). I restarted my CoQ10 which is protective for the heart and the racing has stopped so far (been a few days). In my research, most of the symptoms fall under "peripheral neuropathy" which can be caused by toxicity from drugs. Natural treatments suggest making the body more alkaline and detoxing the organs by eating nutritious foods (organic when you can), exercise, drinking lots of water (with lemon and cucumber slices which make the body alkaline and purify the organs) and taking alpha lipoic acid. To treat the neuropathy make sure you are getting enough vitamin C, E, and B complex with B6, B12 and folate/folic acid (I take B100 caps). Please research these before taking anything and make sure its right for you. I used to say check with your doc but, in my experience, most don't know about natural treatments. I will post again in a week to let you guys know how its going. Best of luck to all.

My 5 year old daughter was prescribed this med in late November for asthma. After about 3 weeks I started noticing some unusual behavior patterns - waking up in at night, waking up earlier, complaining of being tired, not listening, aggressive behaviors. Upon going back to school after the holiday her teacher said that she's not listening, is not 'herself', not doing her work. Yesterday her teacher called me at home to describe her uncooperative behavior. I made the connection to Singulair and found this web site. Boy, do I feel sick and angry at the myself, the pharmaceutical industry, and my pediatrician who called this 'the perfect drug with no side effects' when I asked her what the side effects are. I will not continue this medication and will not put my children on any meds without fully researching them first. I intend to look into alternative and natural treatments for her asthma.
