[teddyd]

I have been on them for a long time .Dont have any issues with them. I am sure others will have their own experiences of them.

[B0xermad]

hi yes I take 1 at night,they work for me but maybe give it time to see how you respond to them a few weeks before seeing the results

[Warrior4104]

Yes I have been on it since last 5 years. If your brain fog is severe maybe check your SpO2 or oxygen saturation which might be the cause.

Try deep breathing and see if it improves.

Montelukast is to be taken for more than a week consistently to see its benefits.

If you are on some cough syrups along montelukast, maybe they are causing it. Most importantly consult with your doctor if it prolongs.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Have taken montelucast for many years -have not had any issues with them.It may be worth speaking with a health care professional to get some advice.Good luck and let us know how you get on

[helenlw7]

I’ve been on them for a long time and don’t have any side effects. When my asthma was first diagnosed in 2012 I coughed continually and the montelukast stopped the night time coughing.

hello i am on them at first awful headaches tummy upset , but had to carry on with them as i have COPD , NOW getting used to them for about 2 weeks now

Hi, I too have been on them for a long time with no adverse side effects. Recently I trialled not using them at the request of my Consultant, but lasted only 4 days before my nighttime cough and wheeze returned with a vengeance. Your brain fog could be due to many things, mine seems to be linked to my Bronchiectasis. Try them for a few weeks before deciding, with advice, if they are right for you. Get well soon.

I've taken 1 at night since 2013 with no issues. I now take it about 8pm in the evenings. When 1st prescribed it I asked what it was for and if it was a safe medication he said 'yes, we give it to young children as well in syrup form. It's for the allergic aspect of asthma '.

It's only 10mgs so I'd be surprised if it caused brain fog, but then we're all different

[nottowell in reply to peege]

thank you i will persevere do you know if you can take other medication with it i take Deloxetine which i wonder interacts with

[peege in reply to nottowell]

im glad you'll give it a chances. Best to read all the leaflet, it will tell which medications you cannot take with it . P

[honeysuckle78]

hi re montelucast. I’ve had reaction to them . Definitely affected my brain they made me very anxious and depressed..

fexofenadine an ant I histamine also caused similar problems.

Can’t take any statins as they affect my mood and cognitive ability.

[honeysuckle78]

I was on carbocysteine for months before it was clear they were causing many problems .

[Hol21]

Hi yes I have been on them for a few years no problems all though I do find I dream a lot with them but definitely help with allergies.
