I took Singulair for about 2 or 3 yrs. The only real downsides are:

1) it may suppress your immune response to viral or bacterial invasion. Those are signaled by the receptor to call the white cells into action. Hence you may get more frequent colds/ etc.

2) What really rather killed Singulair was the depression/suicide warnings.

I stopped taking it when that latest information came out.

So keep in mind the long term effects.
