Has anyone had any side effects from Montelukast tablets?

I'm not sure , but after several weeks will post

[Carriejen]

They give me really wild, realistic and vivid dreams. But otherwise nothing really for me

[hattonvilla in reply to Carriejen]

Thanks for the reply Carriejen,I will get back to you regarding really wild vivid dreams shortly ...very interesting

[Carriejen in reply to hattonvilla]

It’s rarely bad dreams. I dream a lot anyway, I just noticed that when I started montelukast my dreams got a little bit more realistic

[hattonvilla in reply to Carriejen]

I also dream a lot,I know the feeling when you want to return and go back into a dream

Personally I've not had any obvious side-effects, but I know some people do. They are mildly sedative I think which might explain the dreams.

I did have a dream the other night that our water had been cut off...& woke up, went in the bathroom & found out that indeed our water had been cut off (a leak up the road I'd emphasise, not me skimping on the bill). This dream disturbed me a lot, as I couldn't help wondering why, if I am having prophetic dreams, they can't be about the winner of the 3.30 at Haydock Park or next week's lottery numbers, rather than not being able to clean my teeth.

Asthma nurse wants me to start on montelukust but I opted to see the doctor first.

I have taken them for years. One of the side effects is agitation and I am rather agitated. Is it the montelukast? After so long I can't really say but I do wonder.

[TJRN1959]

Montelukast can have what are called neuropsychiatric effects - it's very well documented if you look. These side effects can range from disturbed sleep and nightmares through to clinical depression and even what's quaintly termed suicidal 'ideation'. I started taking Montelukast about a year ago, and within a month or so the full impact of the worst of the side effects hit me very hard indeed. I wouldn't say that you shouldn't take Montelukast, but I would suggest that if you notice any mood changes or agitation then you should get back to the prescribing doctor as soon as possible.

I took these for 10 days. By then I had vivid dreams to point of super real and truly truly terrible.

Real like being at a trendy afternoon party at a house several stories swimming pool green grass and an alive young man with partially severed limbs.used for organs..

so after some months tried the pills again and dreams within 3 days.

Almost flicking in when I was awake. I think these should never be given to young people who cannot refuse them.

I have told my doctor her response was you don’t like them.

No. None whatsoever.
