i think it is time for a public awareness effort about this drug....

I took Singular about 1 year ago for severe a severe allergy. What was strange was when I would go to bed at night it inhibitited my breathing; I couldn't lay flat and I had to elevate my head in order to breath. Needless to say, the doctors tell me there is no corilation with the med. Singular and my breathing problem that night. So - 2 days later I tired it again and bammo!! Same breathing problem that scared the _____ out of me. Goodbye Singular - I wish it worked because my allergy is almost dangerous.

Hi,

Just sent you an email, as requested.Full suport to your intention regarding petition!

Thank you for organizing this. I took Singulair for 10 days, and my breathing which had been terrible, vastly improved. Wheezing and tightness in lungs stopped. However, yesterday, I awoke with severe cramp in my left calf, today have had cramping in toes on right foot. Yesterday, too, upon awakening, I felt weird in my head and then I felt like I was being pushed backwards. I was so scared. A bit later, anxiety began, and I also realized that since being on Singular I was feel more irritable and aggressive. Yesterday I also had bad dry mouth and no matter how much water I drank, dry mouth was bad. I took a magnsium table, and later in day dry mouth went away. Yesterday, an irritation of my rectal area began, also from the Singulair. Why can they not make medications without side effects. How can they say "side effects may be mild." This is not mild.

I just replied to your posting a min. ago but forgot to indicate my name, etc.
(I was the reply about dry mouth, cramping, weird feeling in my head, and irritated rectal area.
Thanks.
