"I've had COPD for over 10 years and I was taking 1 montelukast 10mg in the evenings and after reading about half life of the drug it seemed to me to be must effective when I was asleep so walking is my exercise induced asthma I started taking my 1 10mg pill in the mornings and it has turned my activity around. I feel much MUCH better breathing in the daytime I can tell my bronchial tubes are open. I have had no night time issues either."

"I've had COPD for several years and was prescribed Singular (montelukast) to prevent sleep time exacerbation's. I mean severe too! One night when in the hospital, boom! It hit me and I was even on oxygen. Well, since taking montelukast, even as the generic of Singular (as some may agree, generics often don't have the same effect as brand names), I have had no night time problems."

"I have been on montelukast 10mg for very long now. It has improved my quality of life combined with a few other meds such as Sereflo pump and Theophylline 300mg. I take mine at night as that is when I experience issues breathing. I have found that I can under no circumstances leave the montelukast as I get SEVERE chest pains if I am an hour or few minutes late with taking my pill. The pains are EXTREMELY unbearable & I cannot take it. I have come off the medication before & know that it is seasonal but this pain is stopping me from leaving the medication. No doctor can tell me what or why the pains are but I will tell you it feels as if I can rip my chest open. I feel the pain in my lungs from the front at the back of my rib cage. It is terrible. I feel this medication has made me stay on it & nothing in the leaflet says anything of the sort of experience I have been having for years if I am slightly later than 24 hours use."

"I took this medication montelukast for about a month, and had suicidal ideation while on it. I just read that research says it can make children suicidal, but I’m 45, and it does the same for me."
