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 shouldn't 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 experience 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 wouldn't 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 patches on my face, caused by cherries, or a rice I bought in marks and spenders. 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, doesn't 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.

Also recently had an eye that swelled up, the eyelid was swollen almost shut, the Dr. said it was an eye infection, but I have never had this before. Been gtaking singulair for a bout 2 monts now.

I know your add was awhile ago but if you are still having reactions to water, my daughter has developed cold urticaria. Hives when your body temperature is rewarming. She gets hives when she swims, out side in the cold and any other situation where her skin is chilled and has to rewarm. If this sounds somewhat familiar, talk to your allergy specialist. I have researched online with some studies and it sounds like it can be very dangerous. I have discussed this with her allergy specialist and she said she would grow out of it in a year. After 2 and a half years it is still prevelent. She has to swim in 85 degree water only and be extremely bundled up in cold weather. I am not sure if this may be related to singulair or not, but I am definately looking into it. I don't want to scare you, but be careful. I have read about anaphylactic shock and drowning in some cases. Please contact me if you have any questions.
