Montelukast and side effects: What should I do?

Hi @Staitholoostet887 I've never heard of such side effects of montelukast. My brother is on this drug and he has been getting quite a lot of headaches since he started it. His doctor warned him about this and he said he might also get abdominal pain and diarrhea which are common side effects but he never did, only migraines.

HI @Staitholoostet887

I also take montelukast but have not noticed any major side effects.

Works well with me. Been taking it for a very long time

Shygiii5, I have psych issues and I have severe persistent asthma, which is the most life threatening and dangerous asthma of any other type of severe asthma anyone could ever have hun and I see an allergist and he has me on Montelukast and he has had me on it for 4 years and I have never had any side effects with it and my allergist knows what he is doing because he is board certified to treat patients like me with that severe type of asthma. Have any other questions hun, you can either message a comment or private message me okay hun?

I have been on singular for over a decade and experienced no negative symptoms. In my many years in the medical field, I have never encountered a patient that did not express benefits from using the drug.

You have a point of view that I completely agree with. This is a fresh and fresh perspective that is interesting. [This content has been moderated by an administrator.]

I hadn’t realized how common mood-related side effects are with montelukast until my own doctor mentioned it. That made me wonder if we should be tracking these symptoms more systematically rather than only reacting once they show up. Did anyone else find that hard to balance?
