Me

I take one every night before bed.

Marvellous stuff.

If I miss a night, I can really feel it .

Asthma is horrid.

Really? IS it really effective then? I'm on seretide but I always feel like I'm not really able to breathe properly if that makes sense. If the singulair works I will be so happy.

Oh yes, it's great.

I take Seretide inhaler, twice daily, plus ventolin as and when, no night time coughing, chest is fine.

Been on them about a year now.

You will not believe how much better you feel, I promise you.

oh my goodness, I took it yesterday and I know the nurse said I might have weird dreams, but Bruce Forsythe with a shotgun was not what I expected. Could be a coincidence though. Not sure if I like it. Should persevere though I suppose.

Anyone else taking these tablets and feel 'weird'?

Anyone had any strange side effects? I've been reading reviews on them from other people and they do not sound good!

Anyone?

My ds has been on it for a about 18 mos now,he's 5.5yrs.

It has literally changed his life,and ours.

Before he was needing nebs and oral steroids on a regular basis ,hasn't needed either since starting singulair!

I haven't noticed any side effects on him and he's a bit young to notice himself.

ds has just been pxd this.
Not used it yet. To be used when he shows signs of URTI.
V few side effects. Apparently.

I've been reading horror stories about them, and I've felt really sick with horrible stomach pains all day. Might be something else, but who knows. Maybe I'll persevere, but if I have another nightmare tonight I'm not taking them again.
