I'm 43. Started taking Singular about 10 years ago. I think that's when it came out. Over time, I've developed panic attacks, mild depression, mood swings, panic disorder, muscle twitches and cramps, and agoraphobia. I finally slowly took myself off of all medications after doing The Allergy and Asthma Cure - a great book and it helps tremendously! After being off of the Singular, my symptoms listed started going away. i stay have agoraphobia because that's a learned issue from fear of having a panic attack. All doctors and pharmacists say there's no link. I know lots of adults who have gone through this only to get put on Xanax and antidepressants. Try to go as natural as you can. All of these meds have fried my body. Diet is huge to! I've substituted goat's milk for cow, Try it!

Just out of curiosity were you on any other drugs and did you experience these adverse events before taking Singulair?
If I were you I would ask your doctors to fill out an adverse event report with Merck and the FDA. If they don't believe these side effects can be cause by Singulair they don't belong practicing medicine. It should be well known information at this point that Singulair CAN and DOES cause these exact types of adverse events.

Just to clarify, I would DEMAND that your doctors report these adverse events....it is their duty.

I hear you about getting put on Xanax and other antidipressants.....this seems to be "the plan" in a lot of cases. Singulair seems to be the "entry" drug that will cause these side effects which are misdiagnosed, then they put you on something you need to take for the rest of your life. What a racket.

Same w/me (age, years on meds, side effects.) Did you notice your asthma and severity of attacks (initially got worse and then) improved once you ceased singulair?
