I was first given Singulair at the age of 21. At which time, I quit a job in which I have yet (at 28) to match its income. My doctor continued to give me samples as I could not afford the medication. During this time, I was very depressed, contemplated suicide often and was given a serious of antidepressants-non of which helped. For one reason or another, I stopped taking everything. At which time, it seemed I had a new lease on life. I went back to college, finished my degree, and got a job in decorating. My asthma began acting up again, and again I took singulair and again had to be given antidepressants. I wound up quiting that job too and worked a serious of low paying jobs. Again, I quit, and again found the urge to "live" again. I never connected the two, until this past week. I was given singulair again by another doctor on Wednesday. Thursday I had nightmares, Friday I spent the day crying, Saturday night I began to think of leaving my husband (I also did that ALL the other times I took the drug and we've been together 14 years-I love him). Today is Sunday, I normally go to bed around 12 or 1 a.m., but I am making myself stay awake and have all day. This drug has ruined a large part of my life, please, if anyone notices even a little depression with this drug, Stop!!!! It is not in your head, it is this drug!!!!

I am so glad you made the connection between your symptoms and your medication. My son suffered for 5 years with behavioral issues which I never connected to Singulair, until he became depressed this past summer. Please file an Adverse Event Report with the FDA. They are currently investigating this drug and consumer feedback is vital. Please visit the Parents United for Pharmaceutical Safety and Accountability website at www.parentsforsafety.org for the link, sign our petition for labeling changes, and help us raise awareness of the horrible side effects of this drug. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Hi have you tried giving up MILK, and any milk products, I heard, haven't verified for myself that MILK is a huge producer of MUCUS in human body.
