I have been on Singulair for just over a year now and i never thought I had any side effects from it until my fiance told me I shouldnt stay on a tablet for too long and to check on the net for the dangers, so i found this site. I said i have not had any side effects but having read a number of side effects experienced from other people I can now recall within the last year telling my fiance:
1) Lately I feel like i am nearly going to have a panic attack, only sometimes and I don't know what brings on this thought.
2) Sometimes I stop eating something because I get this sudden thought in my head that i am allergic to it and my throat will swell up, and i start convincing myself my throat is swelling a little bit, and then I feel like i am going to have a panic attack
3) I experience the itchy hands every few months, and itchy eyes
4) Two weeks ago i took two days off work because i was so lethargic and so unmotivated, went to the doctor and he could not explain why i felt like that. The same week I was feeling very depressed.
5) I had a huge row a few months back with my fiance and for the first time in my life the thought came into my head about what it would be like to commit suicide, i wouldnt do it, but the fact i was curious is scary
6) I have strange dreams all the time, and now i recall that when i started singularity i knew this was a side effect and accepted it
7) Here is a new one, not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but in the last year i have suddenly become allergic to things i was never allergic to before. Or perhaps i always was with no symptoms but suddenly i have symptoms which involve swelling of the eyelids and red patchs on my face, caused by cherries, or a rice i bought in marks and spencers. Never had allergies like this before and these two arose in the last two years. Also every time i take a shower i have a temporary red rash on my legs afterwards, doesnt matter what shower gel i use, its like i have an allergy to hot water.
8) And finally, has anyone else suddenly developed psoriasis, i developed it just 6 months ago, couldnt link it to anything but now i am writing all this down it comes to mind maybe its the singulair two.
I cannot believe 10 minutes ago i just told my fiance i can take this tablet forever, its completely natural.
I am so sorry to hear this happened to you, too =(. I am also 27 and turned into a sickly, depressed, suicidal, overweight, sorry excuse for a human being on this drug. I am so glad I found this site! My psychiatrist and I did some careful experiments with my drugs once we started to suspect the Singulair, and sure enough, I was able to go off all my psych meds and return to normal once I got off the Singulair. I hope things work out for you!
