I am so thankful for all of the posts on the site! My doctor has made me think I have lost my mind. It this is exactly what has happened to me over the last few months. Can you please tell me how this turned out? Did you lose the weight? How long did it take to normalize?
Thank you

It could be your thyroid function is off. Ask your dr. about it. It can easily be checked with a blood test.

Medications can slow metabolism and cause weight gain. Side effects are not the same for each person. Your response is very ignorant. Prednisone causes weight gain, for two reasons, it slows the metabolism and increases appetite. It is possible singulair has the same effect.

I took only several pills over a week, and within just 2 weeks I gained 6 pounds! I thought I was going crazy because I was eating less than before....my upper legs feel so rubbery and full, my lower legs are swollen too, my behind, and my abdomin is so bloated all the time, and it's been over 1 week that I haven't taken it .... I hope it all goes away, not sure if it's just fluid or what. Feels awful!!

I started Singulair last Monday (5 days ago) & gained 6lbs in 5 days. Maybe its the combination with Zyrtec I don't know. It controls my asthma pretty well but its also causing my nose to bleed randomly & a LOT of joint pain I didn't have 7 days ago. I am pretty manic & speeded up & not sleeping much. You'd think I'd be losing weight not gaining at an alarming pace. I didn't take it yesterday in hopes that thus all stops. I have spine problems & can not tolerate extra weight on my body. Glad I found this page.

My eating & exercise has not changed. 3 days after I began Singulair I had gained 2 lbs. I am up to 6 lbs after 5 days. That is what has changed. Just because a side effect isn't listed by the big pharmaceutical company doesn't mean people aren't experiencing it. Its just not disclosed because its unflattering & with weight gain as a side effect of a non essential or non lifesaving drug it makes it much less appealing to the already overweight American consumer.
I experienced this same thing with a different drug. The #1 side effect people on the forum talked about was the crippling bone & body pain 90%+ were feeling & that side effect was nowhere to be found in the drug information. You can not trust the pharmaceutical industry to be forthright with that kind of information. It makes the drugs unappealing to patients. Doctors need to listen to what their patients are telling them & discuss these issues with them & stop believing everything the pamphlet says.

I feel like a balloon that is over inflated. I have gained so much weight. I had to empty my closet because I went up 3 clothes sizes in 2 months. The only thing different is the Singulair.

Wow, I just stopped Singulair after reading depression and mental problems people had written about this drug and when stopping symptoms worsened so I was afraid to stay on it having depression and mood swings. I decided to just stop taking it only 2 weeks ago I went to my Dr this week and he said I lost 20 pounds! I didn't know why? I said I haven't excercised at all and have been eating more! We both never thought of stopping the singular would have this effect! I just thought of it and looked it up and found this. I was on it for a couple years when excercising and dieting I could never lose and in fact kept gaining. !
