Hello, I have been taking Montelukast for a while now and I discovered by chance that it can have effects on the psyche.

I don't feel concerned or I'm not aware of it, who also takes it and has experienced side effects of this type.

Have a good day

Hi @shygiii5 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.

@Prmami39 , my allergist has me on a brand new rescue inhaler that just came out this year because nothing has ever helped me, all of the years I have had asthma and tried multiple rescue inhalers so it's called Airsupra and talk about is it the best for me! Has it helped my asthma tremendously and he also has me on Breztri 2 puffs 2 daily now too and boy,has that helped tremendously as well.

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.]
