Meds and such

I had a long-overdue physical with my doctor last week, and after explaining my various struggles with fibromyalgia, long COVID, and suspected ME/CFS she put me on two new medications, Singulair, for the persistent shortness of breath, and Lyrica (pregabalin), for the chronic pain. I’ve only been on them for a few days but here’s some observations so far:

“The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced last week that more prominent warnings would be added to the information provided on boxes of the #asthma drug #montelukast, sold under the brand name #Singulair. Officials announced the move after concerns were raised by families over reported side effects, which can include sleep disorders, aggression and depression. Many parents say they were not properly warned of the risks.”

If you take #Montelukast whether branded as #Singulair or generic for #Allergies or #Asthma it would be a good idea to read this bulletin from the #FDA and give consideration to whether it is worth continuing.

Doing a bit of random research today and I found that the association between #LTRA drugs (typically used for #asthma and sometimes #allergies) and psychiatric side effects is more supported now than a few years ago. People taking #Singulair / #montelukast or #Accolate / #zafirlukast may be at higher risk for depression, suicidality, sleep disturbance, nightmares, and aggression (particularly in children). #LTRAs
