SINGULAIR, your experiences

The Crusader · #1 06-25-2008, 10:13 AM

just wondering how many of you have used Singulair and what your experiences with it have been. I've been using it for about 3 years now, but have decided to pull myself off of it for numerous reasons, but the main reason being, I believe that it affects my mood, behaviour and especially might have something to do with the panic attacks that I've had over the last 6 months. I remember hearing something on the news regarding Singulair/suicide/depression about 3 months ago so I did a Google search on Sunday (singulair+anxiety) and what do you know; things that doctors don't tell you, but probably should.
so what's your experience? I'm happy to spill more....

I took it for a while and it caused me to experience severe muscle cramps at the smallest physical exertion. I mean wickedly miserable cramps that could not be stretched/worked out. I went off it as soon as I did some research and found that it was a reported side effect and the cramps went away.

It did nothing for me, didn't help my allergies at all.

I take bromelain/quercetin which is natural and works really well! No side effects!

was it anything like a muscle spasm? I've noticed that I tend to get these every now and then in my left rib cage, feels like someone fileting my muscle off the bone (not my heart, I had it checked)

No. No spasms. Just cramps.
