Aerochamber symptoms and conditions

My son is almost 3 and was on Singulair for about a year and a half. We adopted him at 6 months old and for the first year he had pneumonia nearly every other month. The doctor suspected asthma and put him on nebulizer treatments and as well as Flovent and albuterol through an aerochamber. Not long after that he added Singulair.

I remember as a baby how calm my son was but as he grew his personality changed. I chalked it up to the terrible twos - until I found this website. After reading all of the posts and talking to a friend whose son had taken it for a short time, we IMMEDIATELY took our son off of Singulair. That was 2 weeks ago.

This is a common thread, but the change in him is nothing short of dramatic. He is happier, says 'no' A LOT less, gets along with our 2 year old daughter much better, sleeps better at night and generally does not have the 'meltdowns' he used to have several times a day. It is AMAZING!! He did have some coughing within a few days of going off of Singulair but we also have him on Zyrtec along with his asthma medications and the cough went away.

It's obvious what this drug is doing to children....if you have any doubts talk to your child's doctor but I for one will NEVER use this drug again and will tell everyone I know!
