I am just researching the new tablets i have been prescribed by my doctor (accolate) and i have come across this:

I used to have singluair but had to stop as I started to get palpitations, has anyone else (apart from myself) had felt a little depressed after taking accolate?

both singulair and accolate report depression as possible side effects, sometimes after a few weeks these disappear. If you're worried have a chat to your GP who may try something else or possibly anti-depressants if the drug works for your asthma.
