He had issues at school and listening to me.

Recently noticed a spike In needing my rescue inhaler so went to Dr to get back on singular. This summer - my first on montelukast - I have had no hay fever symptoms at all and my allergic reaction to those insect bites has been markedly reduced. But at least reading these reviews puts me at ease that I’m not going to go insane cause that’s literally where I felt I was heading after just 3 weeks into taking these without realising it was these. It was not a generic and I was able to get off steroids by taking it. I’m going to stop the medication and keep it for acute episodes but unfortunately for me I don’t seem able to handle it long term. It makes me aggressive. Today will be his first and will be the last day on this medication!!!! He is always happy and this was not like him at all. He hated his own face

It has been a miracle drug for me. My son is 3 and a half old. Within the past 3 months when I started taking one of the new generics, made by Camber Pharmaceutical and my wheezing and coughing started again. Unichem worked outstandingly, my CVS switched to Torrent and it was like it didn't work at all. I haven’t had a single urgent care visit since this med came on the market.” The only (minor) thing I had was some irritability when I first started taking it, but it didn’t last for long.”

My child has been having terrible episodes since she was a baby. “I have mild late onset asthma. I go on it every spring and fall and it completely keeps me from needing steroids and usually rescue inhalers. I found Montelukaskt absolutely amazing for her, it has literally kept her out of hospital but I thought I was imagining the terrible side effects until I read this thread. I feel this drug needs more labels of warning and should not be prescribed until more research into the medical effects has been done.” Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?” Select one or more newsletters to continue. See also the Camber Pharma generic Montelukast recall in 2018, they mistakenly bottled a high blood pressure medicine and sold it as Montelukast...in short BUYER BEWARE....” On the first day, his nose was bleeding. “Singular has been a lifesaver for me. Memory loss where I can't recall words and I have a good vocabulary, now I can't think of words. Shortly after waking up I can usually remember parts of some silly dream and I welcome that because it means I was able to reach a deeper level of sleep.” The easiest way to lookup drug information, identify pills, check interactions and set up your own personal medication records.

He spoke about death all the time. I was in a terrible snappy mood with my kids over the weekend and couldn’t figure out why. I took it for a month and the cough went.

These side effects are dying down but far from normal yet, clearly the reviews here speak volumes. Every time I take a break from it I find myself feeling better but as I begin to take it again I have another mental episode. Have had great results, especially with my stomach issues. After the first pill I noticed that I got much more infection symptoms my phlegm turn back to yellow and I started getting burning in my belly liver pain throbbing headache and neck ache. Has night terrors and hyperactivity. Well he wrote me a prescription for singular but at pharmacy thru substituted it wit montelukast and it's making me have fatigue, I can't sleep at night due to coughing.

No side affects. I find myself having severe mood swings. Is always thirsty and the list goes on and on.

Never in my life have I experienced mental issues before taking this, and all of a sudden on montelukast I was having a panic attacks, feeling anxious and depressed, getting tremors just the most horrible things that I never understood before I felt this! PLEASE DON’T TAKE THIS DRUG My son was on this medication from the age of 3-7 years old.

I was told by the asthma nurse that it works for 50% of people and does nothing for the other 50%, I would know within a week. He came off 10 months ago when we finally made the connection with the troubles he was having. She becomes very angry quickly, having random outbursts.

!” I really thought that after short term treatment my asthma would subside. My doctor prescribed antibiotics - they didn't do anything then finally I was prescribed the Singulair. Montelukast (Singulair and generics) already includes warnings about mental health side effects but the FDA decided to implement a boxed warning following continued reports of neuropsychiatric events such as agitation, depression, sleeping problems and suicidal thoughts and actions. “I’ve been taking this medication montelukast since I was 7 and I am now 19. If I could get those four years back for him I would in a heart beat. I wish I could.” I read the leaflet again and again and all the symptoms she was getting were in the “uncommon” section so I naturally thought I had got it wrong. Singulair (montelukast) for Allergic Rhinitis: “Medication works well but has some crazy bad side effects’ First time I took it my allergies was from high pollen counts and mold and I was coughing ever second. Horrible horrible drug, Stay clear of montelukast!!!!! dose for MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). 90 reviews submitted with a 6.1 average score.

If you are using the chewable tablets, chew them thoroughly before swallowing. But this drug causes these effects and apparently it’s not that uncommon either if you read the instructions, 1 in 100 will experience these side affects, in the scale of things that isn’t that rare at all I think.

Within 3 days of starting the drug I slept through the night without being woken by a tight chest.

Since taking it my asthma has been average.
