I'm a 45 yr old female, I've been on Singular for many years (originally for allergies and then asthma too) and have quit three times due to "possible" side effects and tried other asthma medicines. Inhalers make my GERD worse and I'm anxious all the time. I have to say Singular is the only thing that really works for my asthma and I keep going back to it because it does work. Also, I found that when I quit and expected my depression, headaches or fibromyalgia to go away they didn't... so I own these symptoms now regardless of Singular. I've always had mild depression and anxiety and all the prescription drugs for this I find are really too strong and are made worse then by Singular. For mild depression I find taking SAMe and St. John's Wort to really help me. Can't say if it would help others but you might look into it. I think it's important that doctors understand a link with depression and Singular but for some of us there's not another choice.

As a pediatrician I write for singulair every day.
The medication is for allergies.
Allergies cause adenoidal swelling, which cause sleep disturbances which makes the child tired the next day with makes him over weight, less attentive, hyper and eventually act out.
This in turn makes the child experience parental, peers and teachers criticism/ abuse, with leads to the child feel inadequate, embarrassed, frustrated and eventually depressed and suicidal.

Yes, singulair does cause behavioral change but they appear within the first couple of peels, the rest is due to allergies, lack of medical care, i.e. sleep, singulair, and zyrtec deficiency.
Allergy shots cause 4 times the incidence of suicidally than singulair, and Ritalin 10 times more.
They say in hebrew "once a stone is thrown into a well, thousands of smart people won't find it".
Check it, it's true.

After a stay in the hospital for my asthma 18 months ago, my doctor prescribed Singulair. I had already been taking Zyrtec for a long time. It finally dawned on me a few days ago, that it's primarily at night that I have difficulty breathing. Come to find out, this sensation starts not long after taking my Singulair. And even though I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, I've noticed that the pain and aching have become so much worse - now that I think about it, since I've started taking Singulair. And the hair loss that I was attributing to getting older - the same thing, since around the time I started taking Singulair. I'm going to try not taking it for awhile and just hope my asthma doesn't get worse, because I've not had to use my puffer or be in the hospital since I started taking the Singulair. Wish some scientists would get working on this.
