My nasal allergy symptoms were no longer controlled by daily Allegra D. The doc prescribed Singulair and told me to take it at night. I asked about side effects and she said, "none". After the first dose I had mild diarrhea the next morning. After the second dose I developed a bit of a cough and had more diarrhea. I took the third dose last night and shortly after began wheezing and coughing (I do NOT have asthma). I could hardly breathe all night because of the phlegmy cough. Also felt nauseous. I don't feel sick like with a cold or anything, just can't breathe. I'm so glad I found this site! I will not be taking any more Singulair. I hope I have not caused lasting damage to my lungs. Wondering if anyone of you who had a similar reaction could tell me how long before this self-caused cough clears up?

The FDA is conducting a safety reveiw of Singulair. Please report your adverse reactions as soon as you can. This is the link to the FDA online reporting site:

Thank you!
