How do i wean/taper off singulair? i am having withdrawal symptoms from coming off. i am on 10 mg once a day. doctor said to come off if there are side effects and said there is no taper?

Your doctor is correct. There is no withdrawal syndrome with discontinuing this drug. If you experienced withdrawal symptom before you can reduce the dose in half for 3-5 days then every other day for 6 days then stop completely which means you can stop it altogether in 10 days.
