Coming of Montelukast

had briefly tried to come of montelukast, I had a severe reaction similar to the one experienced by people taking it for the first time. ZI felt suicidal, anxious, depressed, I so my GP and he thought it was just anxiety and prescribed me anti depressants which I didn't take. I immediately went back on montelukast and I was back to normal within 24 hours.

Has anyone had these symptoms when stopping montelukast. I would like to come of it permanently but I am now afraid.

Hi sorry for the the late reply here was away for some time. I took it for a short time like a month or less. Didn't do much for me, I got terrible headache so I stopped taking it of course with the doctors permission.

I didn't had any problems when I stopped it. Hope you getting well soon, but don't be afraid it may trigger something. Speak with a friend or family member about your fear to get it of your chest, this helps sometimes to talk about it. Take care!!! 🌹🌹🌹
