Upon reading the potential anti-inflammatory effects of Montelukast on the brain, I decided to go ahead and try it. I was purely interested in its pro-health and anti-aging effects and wasn't trying to cure any ailment with it.
I was able to get only the 5 mg chewable tablets of Singulair, I believe intended for kinds; I took one pill a day starting 28 days ago.
I have noticed some very significant effects. First of all, this has significantly reduced my appetite, which is a very welcome effect as I have too much of it. Could this be the result of reduction in hypothalamus inflammation, which causes leptin downregulation IIRC?
Also, two inflammations in my joints amzingly disappeared. Both my elbow and knee were hurting as I had straied them in martial arts training and both went away on around day 15. I really don't think this is placebo, cause it was the last thing I was expecting. I was first unable to even make the connection between the drug and the lack of joint pain, but then when fist the knee and then the elbow started feeling normal, I began to think there is a connection.
However, I am also noting some depressive thoughts. Not a huge amount, but notable, which is associated with this class of drugs I think.
Again, this is subjctive assessments, I know, but I'd love to hear your opinons. I am also thinking of upping the dose to 10 mg.
