Singulair tingling & numbness for 3 months

by Tony953, Sep 03, 2008 03:26PM
I have seen many folks are experiencing side effects from Singulair. So am I ... I think. I was taking Singulair for just 5 days for and upper respiratory cold and began having tingling and numbness in my extremities. I stopped immediately. My question is, after eliminating all other possible causes (through a number of tests including MRIs, blood work, metals testing) with my doctor, I still have numbness, tingling and burning taking place in my legs and arms for 3 months now. Has anyone experienced such long term effects? If so, what can be done if anything?

Hello Tony953,

You are most likely suffering from a rare side effect of a wonderful molecule. The exact causal relationship has to be established by initiating a small dose. The tingling would go off in a few days time after the stoppage of the therpy.
