I was given Singulair about three months ago. The first few months I hadn't noticed anything extreme as far as side affects. However gradually my moods began to change. I became sullen and agitated at first. I thought perhaps I was coming down with something. Then as time went on I began to hate life. Everything was irritating me. I had unusual outbursts. I began to feel as if I just didn't want to live anymore, but really didn't have any type of justified reason. I even had begun planning things, what I'd leave to my family, how I should go about it, etcetera. My husband even commented a few times that I just didn't seem like myself. I know he had no clue as to just how bad it had become. After an extreme outburst targeted toward my 6 year old grandson I knew something was NOT right. I took myself off the Singulair and am beginning to feel like my old self again. It may work fine for some, but for me, I'm afraid much longer and I may have truly ended my own life. Good luck with your story. Keep us posted!

I am glad to hear you made the connection to Singulair and are feeling better. Please help us raise awareness of Singulair's side effects: file an adverse event report with the FDA: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm and visit us at www.parentsforsafety.org for important information you can share with others.
