I have been taking Singulair for many years. I take it at night. It works great. No side effects at all. To me it's been beneficial.

There is no right or wrong answer here, but if you go for MRI make sure to wear ear protection. I wore headphones they gave me. MRIs are more or...

Meds do different things to one's body. Check the side effects. It might help you out.

I'm right there with you.
