Singulair helped my asthma symptoms tremendously. i started on it about 4 years ago when my breathing was assessed as that of a 90 year old!!! ok i was 50 at the time.... My problem is that it does cause me to experience anxiety and makes me overly emphatic and aggresive when discussing/arguing a difference of opinion. When i stop using it, the anxiety and aggresivness go away. I use my regular steroidal type inhalers most of the time, but absolutely need singulair at times of the year (Winter) when my breathing gets bad; so i do have experience of going on and off the drug and how it effects me.
