Hi, I'm a 38 year old woman who went on Singulair in September of 2006. By December of that year I started experiencing heart palpitations,dizziness,and nightmares that stayed with me in my waking hours. By January of 2007 I was having full blown anxiety attacks. My doctor ran every test under the sun and I went to several therapists. By the end of January my doctor had me on Effexor, and several other short term aids such as atavan. The summer of 2007 I started experiencing stomach pains and sever diarrhea. As much as I loved my 20 pound weight loss, it was not a lot of fun. Again every test under the sun showed nothing. This spring I heard of the concerns of Singulair and immediately went off of it. Within a few weeks I felt like my old self. I am still weaning off of the Effexor and my asthma is not as good as it was on the Singular, but it is worth having my health and my life back. I feel that Singular almost ruined 2 years of my life. It should be taken off of the market.

Glad you made the connection,dont you wish your doctor had,January 2007 anxiety was added to the list of side effects by Merck to patient leaflets and yet doctors didnt get the note.Thats what we are fighting for,the lack of letting people know the documented side effects of this drug.The moneies that were wasted on needless tests,the qualities of life denied,because nobody is getting or reading the updates.Pharmacies continue to print off the old leaflets because their info in their comps are not updated.suffering could have should have been avoided.Shout out for change
