Bed wetting symptoms and conditions

I wish I would have read the side effects before trying this med on my 4 year old. I've been receiving complaints from his preschool teachers in the last few weeks about him throwing things, hitting kids and adults, yelling, spitting, name calling and the length of time it takes him to calm down. He can't tell me why he is doing these things but can give me a detailed account of all he is doing and to whom and admits its wrong. I've ignored the messages he's sent me saying his stomach hurts even to the point of crying about it 1 day, complaining of headaches that he is sleepy at home and school no matter how early he goes to bed or how late he wakes, a little vomitting, eye swelling occasionally, stuffy nose, thirst leading to increased accidental bed wetting and all this has been going on since he started the med in late July. I even took him to a child psych who said he couldn't find any reason he would act out and that he is well spoken, mannared, entertaining and knowledgeable for his age. Starting today he will never take this med again! The doctor says give him 5 days for the med to be out of his system. I hope this is the problem and feel terrible for putting him, his classmates, and teachers through this.

Oh my goodness....thanks to all of you who have taken the time to post strange side affects - particularly those of your children. My daughter (4) has had them too: nightmares, fear, irritability, strange bed-wetting episodes (after more than 2 years of being potty-trained) followed by immediate and deep sleep, nocturnal seizures, anxiousness. Since taking her off the medicine, she is back to sleeping through the night and waking up for a trip to the bathroom. I've been to my pediatrician more than once talking about these episodes. He didn't seem to be aware of any side affects like these for Singulair. He will be now!

My daughter is 5 years old and has been on singulair for 1 week. i have already noticed a dramatic change in her behavior. she has become irritable, mean, nasty, and emotional. she has had me in tears on a daily basis. she has turned into a monster. we will be calling the doctor in the morning!

Please be careful when using this drug!!!!! My daughter is 4 years old and was on Singulair for a 1 1/2 years to control allergies and Asthma. She was also on 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of Zyrtec. She lost the last year and 1/2 of social and emotional growth. She became angry, aggressive, hyperactive, disconnected from reality, uncommunicative. She was deliberately hitting, scratching, etc. unprovoked. She retreated into a fantasy world where there was alot of "killing" and other scary things. The other kids were scared of her. Her teacher, who has over twenty years of teaching in a University Laboratory school (she knows what she is doing) said that her behavior was the most extreme she had ever seen. I took her to the Pediatrician, to a child Psychologist, and to a Physiciatrist. They were thinking ADHD and maybe Bi-Polar or ODD or worse...we were very scared. The Pediatrician said, no the drug could not be causing this. This site helped me to realize that maybe it was the Singulair. Psychologist, physiciatrist and allergist all said, yes it could be the drugs. We got her allergy tested and she was extremely allergic and started allergy shots. We took her off the Singulair and Zrytec and starting seeing changes in her behavior within a week. It has now been 5 weeks and our little girl is back...she is smiling again, happy!! and communicating! We can have a conversation with her now! It is amazing. Everyone has noticed the difference..her teachers, Dr.'s, etc. She has had a few outbursts and some hyperactivity since but they are diminishing as time goes by. I just wonder how long it will take for all the effects to be gone and how much work we have to do to teach her all the things she missed developmentally over the last year and 1/2 while her mind my blocked by this drug. They should take it off the market. It is frightening. Please beware!!!!!!!!

had a kenalog shot 25 years ago for psoriasis and soon after
started bed wetting even after getting up all night long to use the bathroom.well recently I thought I would try it again,same
results along with some back pain this time,have never had this problem before what so ever, and is really embarassing

After my 4 1/2 year old using Singulair for 2 1/2 years we took him off after coming across this site and we are so thankful! He was having teeth clenching, unexplained aggression (he was so happy and easy going til 3), bed wetting, loss of focus , anxiety and the worse one was tics. He would open and close his mouth and some eye twitching. It was so painful to watch. We didn't know what we did wrong, why this was happening to him, where this was coming from? His pediatrician said there is no relation to medication, kids just get tics some times, it will pass. When it's your kid you can't bear to just let it pass. A pediatric neurologist said it was a simple motor tic , (usually age 5-10) which some children are prone to, said some asthma medications can make it worse as they can affect the nervous system. After 6 weeks off the medication his tics, bed wetting and most of the other symptoms were completely gone. It was gradual, initially i saw no change then suddenly it was less and less and then suddenly completely gone. Symptoms have been gone for almost a month now. It is so unfortunate that these horrible symptoms are not listed when your child is given this medication. I am so greatful to this website,

My 4 1/2 year old daughter has taken singulair for just two days. I looked up "singulair side effects" on Google because last night she wet the bed and has had 2 accidents today. She hasn't had an accident in 2 years until today! I saw one other entry about bed wetting but am reading all of these other side effects. We will NOT be taking this medication anymore! I will try the organic route for asthma.

bed wetting

i been on paxil for two months my girl freind has been on it for many years and we want to know if it stops us from having kids dissy sleeping with night sweats nightmares bed wetting

I just went on Sinequan/Doxepin a week ago. I have been very lethargic since. I find myself falling asleep all day even though it helps me sleep. I am taking this medication for stomach nausea and I see that its used for bed wetting, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders... anyone else taking this for other reasons???

I took oral vancocin 125 mg twice the first night I took it and had a bed-wetting experience for the first time in my life. I am a grown man. It cannot be a coincidence only.
