Singulair and restful sleep

I just started Singulair about a month ago. Before I started taking the tablets I remember hearing some negative information on the news about the medicine. I found this web site and read about all the side effects before taking my first tablet. Even though there was so much negative information I thought I would give the medicine a try anyway. I have always been in good health and only needed this medicine for seasonal allergies. Part of me said "I know the side effects wont affect me!" Well I was WRONG! I have had the worst nightmares!!!

The nightmares started the first night I started taking Singulair. I continued taking the medicine hoping the nightmares would pass. Well, they have only got worse. However, last night was horrible. Not only did I have my nightly nightmares I had a hallucination! It started when I heard my 2 year old son wake up. He first opened his bedroom door then drank some water that was on his night stand, then was on his way over to my room. I got up to put him back in bed just to find out his bedroom door was closed and he was sound asleep in his bed. I haven't had any other side effects, but I think this is a good enough reason to stop taking the medicine. Does anyone have any other suggestions for another allergy medicine I can take. I've already tried Nasonex and Flonase they don't work nearly as good as Singulair. Any suggestions would be great thanks!

I have had asthma all my life. Over the last couple of years I had been relying more and more on inhalers to the point where I was going through two and three cartridges in a week's time. Singulair was what my doctor prescribed along with Flovent, an inhaled steroid. I have to admit, I avoided the Flovent, because I hate the idea of steroids.

At any rate, I have started to have very wierd dreams. They are not nightmares per se, but they definitely are not what I would call restful sleep. I am seeing other side effects here and I am hoping that this won't happen to me. I have only been on it for about three weeks now and for the first time I can actually exercise or sleep through the night without having to hit an inhaler four and five times a night.
