I was searching for a site with the side effects of Singulair for my son who is 10 and has been taking Singulair since he was 2. It was a life-saving drug for him and his life has been wonderful since then (as far as asthma goes). He is a very athletic boy who plays every sport he can and he is still a little overweight with cellulite and love handles. I had heard that maybe it might be the Singulair so I decided to check it out. Little did I know about all of these other side effects. He's been taking it for so long that I assumed his depressed personality was just the way he was. He has also had such horrific nightmares and he's convinced he has a ghost in his room that shakes his bed that I was really starting to consider that maybe he might. His brother sleeps in the same room and does not have any of these experiences (also on Singulair). I am SHOCKED! I only read about 20 entries but I'm going to read more. Has anyone had the weight gain problem? Thank you for anything you can share.

I just Finally got my IUD out today YAY I have had a ton of S/E's & of course 2 diff docs both deny it But I don't care I just wanted it out doc said the most common S/E is a headache R U Serious??!! I never had headaches only other more scary stuff, floaters in my vision for the last 15 months, muscle aches & joint pain no energy no sex drive anxiety the list goes on & on I posted awhile back
anyways the removal wasn't that bad at all not compared to the placement of it but I did have some cramping & within 1 hr I was bleeding all over the place!! so now I'll probably be bleeding for another 6 months just like after they put it in But it's all worth it If I feel better & feel like I did b4 I had this stupid thing put in me
GL to e/o & I'm so glad I found this place I probably would of never put everything together if it wasn't for all of u sharing your stories
I'll come back in a few weeks & update on how I'm feeling I'm hoping the floaters will be the 1st thing to go away b/c they are really annoying at times

I started taking Topamax for migranes, 220mg daily, and could not tolerate it. I have had all the common problems, including ringing in my ears, right eye pain, and yes for the first time in my life, vison problems. I had no idea this drug could cause all that. I have had back and joint pain as well. I took myself off of it recently. The side effects are not worth it.

After reading all the horrs stories about Lupron I too was very afraid but I discussed it with a family member in the medical field and so I made a decision to try it. I took one 3-month shot of Luprin for firboids. I have several of them, one was the size of a 5month fetus. The hot flashes came fast and furious. Many nights I have slept without clothes. After the shot I continued to have lots of sex. I have seen some blury vison from time to time. I dont know if I should attribute this to the Lupron. But since it is not allergy season as yet it can well be that. I had the shot October of 2004. Did not have another one and still did not have a period. However my blood count have gone up. I have had some headache when I wake in the morning but was able to sleep it off. I All in all I am doing fine, even though from time to time I still have very mild flashes. I sympathize with people out there who have had sever symptoms and still continue to have them.

Well ladies let me tell you what... I must be super sensitive to this crap!! I started the ring because I had used it years ago and LOVED it!! I mean LOVED it! It WAS the only bc that didn't give me any issues... they really must have changed it... I'm gonna list my new symptoms and reasons for taking this crazy thing out...
Nausea,
Headaches,
Visual Migraines... spots in eyes
Dry Mouth
Breast Pain
ALL of my hair is FALLING OUT
in 3 days gained 10lbs!!
Mood swings
Think i'm pregnant every day!
Still get cysts (which was my need for the ring)
Horrible constipation/diarrhea... IBS like
Lack of energy
Itchy scalp
Leg pain
Hip pain
All the symptoms of thyroid issues!!
Circulation issues
Took Sudaphed and almost had a stroke!! BP was 180/110 WOW!!
normally is 117/67
My advise... GET OFF THE NEW RING... The old one was great...this new one is DANGEROUS!! I have worked with doctors for years... they prescribe things that the cute sales reps bring...
Contact me if you have felt the same... It's good to know there is someone out there that has been thought it too!!
