My husband was on Singulair for years, along with other meds for his asthma. On January 26, 2009, he woke up and committed suicide. There was no indication that he would ever do such a thing. He was a successful and extremely well respected equestrian. He fought in the Hungarian revolution and was granted political asylum in the US, due to his strong anti-communist stance. He as not a stranger struggle or hardship. The police report indicated a possible link to Singulair.

In march of 2007, I started taking singular due to my doctors advice. I could only handle taking two doses. After the second dose, severe insomnia and anxiety set in. I had to go to urgency care. The doctor put me on anti-depressants and sleep aid. For 4 months, I was on 6 different types of anti-depressants and 3 different types of sleep aides. I had to resign from a good paying job and lost my insurance. For the past 19 months, I cannot find any help and constantly struggle with anxiety and insomnia. Every time I have to deal with a stressful situation, my anxiety is very intense and very overwhelming. When nighttime comes around, the fear of trying to sleep, and falling asleep is excruciating. God bless Merck!!!!

my son has been on it a short while……….and in that short while he has went from a sweet loving 5 yr old to something that looks worse than the exorcist when he has a “fit”, screaming, kicking, covering his ears, fighting with everything he has, trying to hurt someone. so i have taken him off the singulair to see if that was the problem.

I am beyond angry. My daughter was on singulair for years and she came off the medication 2 years ago and has attempted suicide 2 times. They should really study these drugs more.

My son was on Singulair for many years he is now 16 years old. Many times he came to me saying that he was depressed. I put him on B vitamins and kept our communacation open. When I heard out the possible side effects from Singulair I took him off the medicine. I am extremly angry that this was most likely the cause of alot of his problems. I don’t use any other prescrition medications in my home. I trusted that my son truly needed this and was very misled. There were many other symtoms he was experiencing. These drug companies need to be stopped and we need to protect our loved ones.
