I have been taking Singulair for a few years now and have noticed very few side effects. I do recall that in the beginning I had to take it at night cause it would knock me out but as time went on I began to take it in the morning with no problems. Between my asthma and my seasonal allergies it has been wonderful in treating them both. I do consider myself very fortunate that I haven't had any pro ... Show Full Comment

Between my asthma and my seasonal allergies it has been wonderful in treating them both. I do consider myself very fortunate that I haven't had any problems with the meds and if I had noticed any adverse reactions I would have discontinued it immediately.

My 7 yr old daughter took this for a month & while it worked wonders for her, the side effects are just not worth it, so I took her off of it. She was terribly moody & cried or screamed all the time. I have never seen such a dramatic or sudden change in someone.

When my daughter first started taking this medicine, she would complain about nightmares. It took months for her to stop complaining about nightmares. I didn't make the connection then. But I had to take it and had paralyzed nightmares. Thta's when I made the connection. It has helped my daughter with her cough but doesn't always prevent allergies.

I am a 56 year old female, manage a surgical practice for 20 years. PCP put me on this Oct 2011. In Dec, had a brain MRI, thought I had a brain tumor or early onset alzheimers. I finally decided to stop the Singular, no help from PCP at all. I had developed loss of short term memory, blanking out like your mind was a chalk board that had been erased, constant pain behind my eyeballs, felt like someone was pulling on the back of the them especially when I would look up, sharp stabbing pains that were disabling (behind eyes)-only would last 10-20 seconds but was having 30-50 a day. When the MRI was normal-Thank God! my PCP was of no help to further diagnose my symptoms. Anxiety began to alter my life. When I stopped the Singular, the sharp head pains immediately decreased to 10 or less a day and were gone completely in 3 weeks, as were the other symptoms. I still, cannot recall things I did during December. Gifts I bought, letters & cards I wrote. I see them & have absolutely no recall of them. It is very scary. I'm sure everyone won't have these side effects, but if only I had known it could be this med(I blame my PCP for that) I would not have had a brain MRI ($980 out of pocket) before stopping the med. I hope no one else has this experience, it was a true nightmare!
