My husband has been on Singulair for ten years now. It was a miracle drug for us as his asthma and allergies were ruining his quality of life. Little did I know that the Singulair would have such drastic effects as well. He is a police officer who has been through some traumatic events in his career. I attributed his irritability, depression, anger, severe nightmares, heartburn, weight gain, and puffy swollen eyes to post traumatic stress disorder. He stopped taking the medication about two weeks ago after his prescription ran out and he saw the FDA report. He is once again the man I fell in love with. Now I know what has been causing all of the changes in him, and we have decided he will never take Singulair again.

This is an ongoing investigation,please report to the FDA,have your doctor report also if you can,i know that one is hard.Children as young as 6 months are prescribed this drug,their side effects blown off as teething,etc etcYou have witnessed first hand how hard it is to pinpoint the behaviours,so please report and tell all you know we must make a difference

Hey, just read what you posted. I'm a fairly new asthma/allergy sufferer. I was given advair, and singulair. Had to stop advair.(bad side effects). Have albuterol & singulair now. Thinking about stopping the singulair as well. Curious what your husband is doing to control his asthma since he stopped singulair
