Hi All! So glad to read of all the "happiness" since off of singulair. My 2 sons and I are off for a week now and what a difference. My 6 year old is back to his old self. He is much happier and is laughing a lot and not throwing angry tantrums. My 8 year old feels much better as well. He is much calmer and has had only one outburst in a week compared to daily. I can't wait to see if he can come off of ADHD meds too. I feel much more laid back. I thought my mood swings were hormonal but since I have had a hysterectomy, I thought they should subside. My estrogen level seems good but I just thought I was being female! I can tell a difference now and I feel better. I am getting along with just my asmanex for now. I wonder if the singulair really even helped me at all. I had a little tightness the first few days but now I feel just like I did on the singulair. To me this med is just not worth the risk. We have no family history of ADHD or depression so I wondered why my boys had the thoughts and symptoms they did. Singulair was the only drug my youngest was on so I know his symptoms came from that. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the posts!

I am new to Asmanex, two days and I am exausted. Slept 4 hours in the afternnoon the first day, three hour nap the second. My face feels puffy, my period started 6 days early, and I am just feeling really tired...but my lungs feel good!. I am an active 50 year old who was having to use my abuterol more and more and Singular was making me feel really angry and agressive...I dont think I can can take the asmanex the way it is prescribed, I am afraid I will not be able to drive, let alone stay awake!!

Everyone has different reactions to different meds. If these symptoms developed as soon as you started the meds, I would call the doctor. There are other drugs you can try. I did not have any of these side effects. I think I would try something else, your quality of life is important! Good Luck!
