I started taking Singulair and the first two days I felt better, but by the 3rd day I started feeling like I was trying to get sick. By day 8 I was in the Emergency Room with a very rapid heartbeat (166 beats per minute), and a severe Upper Respiratory Infection. They did blood and urine work, chest x-rays, CAT Scan, etc. and found nothing wrong with me. I kept telling them that I was having a reaction to the Singulair, and even though they never actually admitted it, they did say it was possible. I KNOW it was Singulair. I will NEVER take it again. They need to take it off the market. I was in the hospital for 3 days because of this dangerous drug!

Froglover,

Was Singulair your only prescription medicine? Everyone here believes you that Singulair does cause adverse drug reactions. One of the biggest problems is that for many people Singulair is one of many prescriptions and it is difficult to determine what medicine is the cause. I read the December FDA reports, there were 147 complaints of people who took Singulair. Unfortunately, Singulair wasn't the only drugs - sometimes the patient was on as many as 10 medications.

Please report this to the FDA. You have hospital reports for three days. Your case is important. Every documented case can save other people. So please make sure that you report your experience with Singulair.

Hi Concernedcitizen:

The only other medicine I was on was Flonase, but I have taken Flonase in the past (with Claritin) and have had no problems at all. I have since stopped taking Singulair, and am continuing to take Flonase without any problems...so it had to be Singulair...pure poison!
