I took Singulair for over two years. On my second year, I began having severe depression and attempted suicide once. I began seeing a therapist and began taking Ritalin. As a result I had was taking a total of four different drugs and about six pills a day. =(

A year later, I stopped Singulair and was prescribed an alternate medicine. I'm quite fine now. hmm.

I am taking it and since then have had more mood swings(was diagnosed with Bipolar II), tried to commit suicide and did self injury. Can I sue if it doesn't say on my perscripition those are the possible side effects?

Maybe she's wrong, it's sad and no one should ever have to experience their own child committing suicide, but I doubt it was singulair's fault. Chances are their were some hidden problems with the kid that he kept from his parents, children especially teenagers are masters of hiding their emotional well-being. He may of looked fine on the outside and acted so, but maybe he was buulyed at school or some other cause that is the culprit.

My wife took this medicine and within weeks was spiraling out of control she had crying spells she couldn't control, thoughts of suicide and had told me she felt as if she were outside looking in. it took 2-weeks of being off of this medication to feel normal again. her allegist kept telling her there was no way the medicine could make her feel like that. obviously he was wrong

last summer i took tht b4 i went to bed and i almost commited suicide and i dont evn know why. i am scared cuz im being depressed and mood changes.

[billisfly]

I think that it's a coincidence that a few people commited suicide after they took the medicen, i mean, if you look at how many people who have taken it and been okay vs. people who took it and commited suicide, it's probably no more astronomical than any other random medicen.

Intresting, I gave up taking the drug because of the nightmares, I also gave up dairy products and don't take any medication at all and have been symptom free for 2 years.
