I've been taking it for awhile and I haven't had any side effects. I'm still myself. I don't have take hits on my inhaler 8 to 10 times a day since I've started taking it!

I'd been taking Singulair since age 6. Stopped near 16. I knew even as a child that medicine was destroying my head. I didn't know how to describe my symptoms. When my mom heard of these side effects, she made me stop taking it. I didn't need the medicine obviously...

Hey, I like your user name, WTF.

It was r/x'd for my 12 yr old. I have allergy so I tried one and became horribly depressed and had the worst insomnia I've ever had. I just took one pill and it's plunged me into a depression I'm having trouble getting out of. It's been several days since I took it and the depression is sometimes unbearable. I'm afraid to give it to my child.
