I stopped taking it when that latest information came out.
So keep in mind the long term effects. |
Oh no! That might not be good. But was it something that you have to take everyday or did you take it just during allergy season? Of course, my allergy season is all year long but there are times when they are worse.
I didn't know that Singulair had the depressive/suicide warnings. I'll read the article. Thanks for posting that.
Sally - I'll let you know. All I know right now is I need to get the allergies under better control. When they act up like they have been, my MS acts up as well.
The hug never leaves my side. (Pun intended.
