Avatar n tn He takes Singulair daily and takes Pulmicort and Xopenex as needed via nebulizer when he starts to show signs of coughing. My husband and I went to his parent-teacher conference yesterday - for pre-school - and we were advised by his team (speech therapist, psychologist, etc.) that we should discuss his behavior with our pediatrician. The other item that kept coming up was his attention span. Most of his intellectual skills - cutting, drawing, writing, etc - were up to par.
Avatar f tn He also has reflux although he takes zantac for this im not sure if that could be the cause of his stomache pain or not.

460830 tn?1347219306 What was the problem with Singulair a while back? I heard something about it, but I never heard what the problem was with it.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Singulair for a few months now and I haven't noticed any negative side effect. I take it along with a daily inhaler for my asthma and it really has helped me a lot.
Avatar n tn I tapered off the medication and immediately afterwards began experiencing super-sensitive allergic reactions to the environment. This was not a withdrawal symptom - I experienced the normal withdrawal symptoms during the tapering phase, and they all stopped once I had completely stopped taking the medication. However, in the two years since, the acuity of my allergies has increased at least threefold, if not more.

Avatar n tn 2 years ago he was put on Advair disk inhaler, Singulair, and Allegra D as his regimen. After about a month he started having a problem with his legs and groin itching. He took himself off the Singulair as that is what he decided was the problem. He has gotten by with just the Advair inhaler. In the past month he's really been struggling with breathing problems.
Avatar n tn I have been taking singulair for a couple of years now and have all of a sudden developed a head tremor.
Avatar m tn after an organ transplant) whose bodies might take up to 3 or 6 months to make a detectable amount of antibodies. The CDC will recommend a 3 month window period for a number of reasons, one being that it will ensure that the test is accurate for everyone, including that small group of people who need to wait longer than 6 weeks. The only STDs that are transmitted through blood-to-blood contact are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
370736 tn?1247242917 When I was preg. in May ( I had a m/c) I was taking singulair and albuterol inhaler. I was told by my general practioner not to take Advair b/c of the steroids in it. Recently I went to see a genetic counselor and he said that I should stop taking the singulair b/c their hasn't been a lot of studies done on the effects it has on preg. women. He said I should take Advair instead.
Avatar n tn Her Pulmonary dr. put her on Singulair for a month and gave her an inhaler for emergencies. The Singulair has given her a stomach ache, nausea, for over 2 weeks now. We are waiting on a visit to a different Pulmonologist, as requested by the pediatrician. It doesn't sound like allergies or asthma that I have heard other people describe. Her pediatrician said it could be sinus drip or reflux, yet again she has no other symptoms. Any thoughts?
920032 tn?1550680156 However, it seems to me that a pill taken once a day over a nasal spray that has to be used every 4 hours would be a better choice to try. However, atrovent is very cheap compared to Singulair. OH - I just assumed you were talking about the nasal spray Atrovent, but you could be using a neb or for now an MDI (will be off the market soon with the CFC ban). Which are you using? You could also try NasalCrom. That is an OTC nasal mast cell stabilizer which works really well.
Avatar m tn i just wanted to post a warning to other parents. my son was on singulair for over 3 years. he was taking the drug for treatment of mild asthma and allergies. he suffered from undetected side effects for 3 years. the side effects were sneaky and subtle and i did not pick up on the cause. at the age of 7, his physician increased his dosage to 5mg due to his age. after that increase, his side effects became loud and clear.
Avatar m tn I have mild asthma. I do not use inhalers at this time. I'm a singer, age 62 in generally good health. My allergy season is January through March in Arizona. It causes asthma (Arizona Cypress, Mesquite and Palo Verde are the culprits.) Singulair has helped me very successfully in the past. However, I also take a very low dose blood pressure medication (Lisinopril 20mg). I do not have health insurance and have an alternative source for medications.
Avatar f tn JazzyMom, There is a relationship between lowering or stopping prednisone and taking Singulair that can cause Chung-Strauss-LIKE symptoms. Your daughter should not take Singulair is she has developed these symptoms because they can be dangerous. She needs to get her medication switched from Singulair (Leukotriene Inhibitor) to another med (not a leukotriene inhibitor) depending on what she is using it for..whether it's asthma or allergies.
Avatar n tn m on a controller med (Symbicort) plus singulair for over a year and it has worked fantastically. Also on singulair and a rescue. Lately I try to take a deep breath and it feels like there is something blocking it, like I literally just can't get past it, my rescue doesn't help it and this has never happened before. Nothing makes it happen, just at random (trying to fall asleep, watching TV, at work, etc).
Avatar f tn html) On the other hand, singulair is a medicine called a leukotriene receptor antagonist and prescribed for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis:The most common side effects include: stomach pain, heartburn, stuffy nose, flu, dizziness, headache or rash. (ref:http://www.singulair.com/montelukast_sodium/singulair/consumer/allergies/for_parents/product_information/ppi/what_is_singulair.jsp) Your rash may be a side effect of the medications you are taking.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Prednisone is a bad medicine and can cause lots of bad side effects. You are on a relatively low dose. 1 month at 10 mg should not cause any major problems. You shouldn't have any issues with withdrawal when you go off that dose suddenly. I know people who are 5 mg every day for life. I do question the effectiveness of this dosage though. I think you would benefit fro an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) more than oral pred for long term use. Take care and feel better.
Avatar f tn The Dr gave me antibiotic (amox) and singulair to take along with Clariton D. I took a 5mg dose of the Singulair but have now read a listing of side effects a mile long. My hands and feet sweaty and I am on edge. I should have read before I took the pill bc now I am worse than I was before. I cant find how long it stays in your system but I do see half life is 2.7-5.5 hrs. Does anyone know what "half life" means...and would that mean in 5.4-11hrs it will no longer be effective?
Avatar n tn Well, the only medication that has a side effect that may be causing your white tongue is the Rhinocort. It says that is has a rare side effect of oral candidiasis (thrush). It may be whats causing your tongue to be white and irritable. If its a white, wipe-able plaque on your tongue, a course of anti-fungals may work. If it isn't wipe-able, I would still stick with geographic tongue and try a course of steroids. Hope that helps. Its probably not an STD.
1128565 tn?1316721143 First of all it is not quite clear what is causing all the symptoms but an important and proven factor from a neurobiological point of view is called an anticholinergic rebound. When you stop a antidepressant drug it is very likely to cause interruption of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (involved in memory and learning and other cognitive function as well widely used when a person is under stress, it's depletion cause a variety of symptoms).
Avatar m tn I was told to discontinue it after 8 weeks over a 2 week period and substitute it with atarax. I had very bad withdrawal symptoms ( electric shock feelings,extreme anxiety, muscle spasms and have still got tinnitus). I have been off the ativan for 9weeks now and currently take 25mg x 3 xp/day of atarax. As i still have bad anxiety i would like to know if i took valerian and passion flower would it help my aniety and withdrawal symptoms off the ativan or worsen them.?
Avatar f tn There is a lot of information about Effexor withdrawal on this site. I suggest you look it all up. The withdrawal time varies. Took me three weeks. Others shorter, and others longer. Not easy. Look up all the information on Effexor withdrawal. It is a bit question on this site.
