I am on montelukast too. At first I had very vivid dreams, but these stopped after about a week.

Hi I take these tablets and have never had a problem with them. I take mine at night. My 5 year old grandson takes them as well. It he takes his in morning because they gave him nightmares. He's ok on them now. Best wishes xx

My niece takes montelukast and at first she was a little sick (this could be due to other medications) now after 5 years nothing has worked better for her she no longer needs her nebulisers and the only aide effects she has are vivid dreams. sometimes we hear her laughing in her sleep.

Im also on this medication and they work brilliant for me no side affects

My son tried these recently. We were warned of night terrors etc but he never had any just a sense of feeling sad all the time and after 2 1/2 weeks terrible leg pains started so we stopped them and he has been fine since. Mood improved straight away and no leg pains.
