I took my daughter (14yrs old) off of Singulair 2 nights ago after being in the ER. She's been taking this drug for 3 years off and on. We were told she had asthma 3yrs ago and now yesterday after taking the Methacholine challenge test, she doesn't have asthma. Talk about being confused and angry. Over the last three years my daughter changed into a very anxious person, couldn't sleep at nights, very vivid dreams that made her surround herself with pillows thinking her dreams were real, sadness, chest pains, tingling in hands, arms & legs, knee pain (could be sport related?) and a very short fuse. I came across another website and then this one about the side effects of this drug and immediately took her off. She has slept better the last two nights but still has a little chest pain (indigestion), which I hope subsides soon. This has been a terrible stress for her and the whole family and I'm praying being off this drug will help my daughter restore her self confidence and happiness in her life. A.
