Asthma, Maintenance
"My 16 year old daughter has the typical exercise induced asthma that many of her teammates have and has used an inhaler for a couple of years. Her Dr. advised us to start using Montelukast. We were a bit wary because of the possible side effects, but her Dr. convinced us. About 2.5-3 months later, all of a sudden she started experiencing the awful side effects they warn you about...racing heart, sleeplessness, panic, sadness, hopelessness and anxiety. After a couple days of this we finally read the pill bottle and immediately stopped. It has been a week now and she is better, but still working through the anxiety. Please do your research and ONLY use this medication if you are completely sure you won&#039;t experience these side effects!"
