I have been taking one each night. Not sure how effective it is but I probably don’t wake up as much coughing. No side effects except occasional very vivid dreams!

Hello, I actually stopped my montlukast as I found it wasn’t doing anything for. It made no difference and if you feel it’s working then that’s fantastic. I had no side effects from it but it just wasn’t working.

Hi did you have to wean off it or just stop? I don't think its doing much for me either, but not 100 per cent sure.

Hello, I just stopped it, but please please be aware that everyone is different, so listen to your body and if you feel off then try reducing it rather than stopping straight away. I have not noticed any difference since I stopped it, and I don’t think it helped me at all. Good luck with your medication.
