I've been diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks since Nov. 15 2007 ended at the hospital emergency room, after using Xopenex been using Advair and Singulair due to my asthma once my Doctor increased my Advair from 250mg to 500mg twice a day on Sept. 5th 2007 noticed fast palpitations and overwhelming. Knew and complained for quite sometime that I wasn't feeling like myself. Since Nov. 26th 2007 I stopped taking Advair, Albuterol inhalers,Nebulizers due to the fact of my new Anxieties that I never had. Continued taking my Singulair medication thinking that it was safe. Only been on Singulair a little over a year. Still continued to experience Anxiety and Panic attacks. Due to this I've been seeing a therapist since Dec. of 07.Has affected myself, my children who have witnessed my episodes of Anxiety attacks and know thats not me.Also has affected my performance at my job and attendance. Just took two MRI's of the brain just last week thinking there maybe something wrong with my brain.My side affects have been Dizzy spells,feeling faint,blurry vision,extremely tired,muscle spasms,loss of concentration, and not being focused. These are my experiences with Singulair and I believe that the FDA should further investigate these allegations. I know for a fact I've been experiencing this for quite sometime and my Doctors tell me I'm just depressed. Ignoring the fact they prescribed me so many medications that trigger Anxiety depression and God knows what. Thank you Cita

I posted last week. My 16 year old has been taking singular for 4.5 years and has been off singulair 8 days now. She was given Fluoxetine by her Psychiatrist 2 years after starting singulair. This did not help her. Her grades had droped, she was depressed all the time, missing school because of stomach pains and headach (she had to be taken to the emergency room and given medicine for this and for anxiety attacks), She had tremors of the hands and feet, so,so sad all the time. Never smiled. It was nothing we talked about to family and friends (just her Doctor, Psychiatrist, and Hospital emergency room). She even started cutting her legs with razors. 3 days off of singulair she came into the livinging room and watched a movie with us. Her little sister said that sissy is getting nicer. I have not mentioned the singulair to her litter sister. 5 days off she came and sat with me in my oversized chair and showed me a very colorful purse (not dark) that she would like to order (which I did). She has not sat beside me in four years or allowed me to touch her willingly for almost that amount of time. She has eaten diner with us the past 5 days and smiles sometimes. I love her so much and am wondering if her life path has been forever altered by this medication or will she be able to recover from all this . TKU
