I am 16 and soon will be turning 17 years old. I have been on 10 mg. Singulair for about six weeks. I am already having side effects. I am on Prozac already, this med was to help calm me down, especially about my dad who will be having his fourth brain surgery. At first, I was really nervous and we thought it was because of my dad. After taking Singulair, things went downhill. It made me feel worse and I've had two sinus infections in these 6 weeks. After 2 weeks of starting this medication, I became really nervous and began to pull out my eyebrows. I haven't stopped and now I hardly have an eyebrow,I wear eyebrow pencil to cover it up, but it feels as if I can't control it, if I don't do it, I'll get really grouchy and irritated. I already have to go to a doctor for my stomach and Singulair has just made it worse. I don't care what my doctor says I WILL NEVER take Singulair again!

Why were you put on an asthma medication to "calm down"? That makes no sense whatsoever!

My daughter is 20 now, and she has taken Singulair for nearly 12 years without any side affects. 10 mg a day, and we THOUGHT it was a miracle drug. Until October 2006 when she had a psychotic episode and was hospitalized for two weeks. She was hallucinating and was not responding to anyone and when she did talk, it didnt make sense. We think it had something to do with her taking herbal supplements containing Hoodia in combination with her singulair. Hopefully with this latest news, more patients will report issues on the FDA site. Prior to Oct 2006, she had no issues for all those years. After her two week hospitalization she never took Hoodia supplements and has never had any problems at all. Make sure that you tell your physician if you are taking any other medications or herbal supplements with your singulair.
