I am soooo happy I found this site. I marked it on my Favorites. I am an active 57 year old woman and have been on singulair since 11/2002. I have also gained over 20 pounds. I can't fit into any clothes and I just can't seem to get the weight off no matter what I do. I would stop taking singulair for several days and noticed I could shed a few pounds. Then I would go back on it because I thought I would have trouble breathing. I only have a mild case of asthma. I did a Find on the word "weight" on this site and I was absolutely amazed at how many hits I got. Singulair is the culprit. Most of my weight gain is in my middle area. My dr. now says I am pre-diabetic and put me on another medication to help lose the weight...NOT working though. I am stopping this medication as of tonight 2/22/2005. What triggered me looking online was the montelukast "sodium" Sodium (salt) is a water retainer...makes perfect sense.
