it is so good to see this! I can't believe I am not the only one suffering with Singulair. I developed what I thought was just bronchitis, and my new doctor put me on a cocktail of respiratory meds... 2 inhalers, antibiotics, steriods, and singulair. Well, I finished the course of antibiotics, and am feeling better. I stopped using one inhaler, because it made my hands shake uncontrollably (I was assured by my doc this was normal). I stopped using the other, because I thought it was making my head feel foggy and making me moody. The only medications I am currently taking are Cymbalta for my panic disorder, and Singulair. I have been on the Cymbalta for long enough to know that I do not suffer side effects from that (unless I miss a dose). But lately I have been more moody, emotional, snippy, and having almost daily panic attacks! I can't concentrate on a thing, my mind almost feels detached. I also suffer periods of numbness in the left side of my face. After reading this site and everyone else's stories, I am not taking Singulair any longer! Hopefully some of these effects subside. And now I know to never let my son take it, either. I am so angry with my doctor for not warning me about these effects, not taking into consideration that I already have an anxiety disorder, and just brushing off my concerns!

I read post like yours and wonder when medical doctors became (degreed) drug dealers! Glad you figured out the Singulair connection. Good luck.

Please tell me if your numbness/tingling has gone away after stopping Singulair!!!.....I feel the same way, I just found out these are symptoms of Singulair and I have the numbness really bad in many areas, keeps getting worse and worse, dr.'s have done blood and imaging test...all were normal and they just said Sorry! I am soo glad I found this info on internet!! I will stop Singulair immediately and hope the numbness/tingling goes away...
