I am 47-year old, male. I started taking Singulair about 4 months ago to treat my allergy. I had very bad running nose and itchy eyes and was sneezing a lot. None of the antihistamines were effective. Amazingly Singulair has been very helpful. I stopped taking it few days ago thinking my allergy has gone as the season has gone. But everything is back. After reading these much about the side effects of Cingulair, I am scared that it might be dangerous to continue taking it. I have not experienced any bad effects, but don’t know to tolerate the allergy symptoms or keep taking Cingulair. Is there anyone who has had no bad experience with it after taking it for a long time? Please advise. Thanks.

The forum where I first learned of it has many people who take it with no trouble. Here you are reading about people who HAVE problems with it, this doesn't mean everyone has problems with it. If it works and you have no (or minor) side effect I would keep using it. I love what it did for me -- well, the good stuff any way.

My daughter has seasonal allergies. Most allergy medications make her hyper. She has taken Cingulair for three years only during allergy season. She is now twelve. We have never seen any mood changes in her. Our pediatrician is very conservative about what he prescribes and he is still prescribing Cingulair. I will continue to give it to my daughter.
