I was given Singulair a week ago when I went in for bronchitis. I have noticed I do stay tired all the time & that I've become more disconnected from emotions. I am normally a very sensitive person, and it's not that its been an extreme change, but the change is there and I don't like it. I also have had to continue using my inhaler due to tightness that the Singulair does not completely get rid of for me. Yesterday, I was having dinner when my head just spun. I grabbed my composure and was ok as long as I stayed more relaxed & didn't talk a lot. I have terrible allergies and I knew that my bronchial tubes were constricted very tight & that was the cause for dizziness. This morning, my lips were starting to swell and I was starting to feel the puffiness in my eyes. I wanted to know if I could take benadryl w/ Singulair & came across this site. I took the benadryl I feel much, much better. Seems to me that if Singulair is supposed to control the tightness I would be getting better, Not worse. I have made up my mind to stop the Singulair & will contacting my doctor for something different to help with bronchial contrition.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
