Better all the time symptoms and conditions

what happens when you take children off this drug cold turkey? my doctor said it was ok to do that. but this am my son (he's 4) woke up (day 2 off drug) and started screaming that the lights were hurting his eyes...and ran around turning all the lights off. i sat up and watched him sleep all night. I'm flipping out. what has this drug done to him and thousands of other children? will it go away now that they are off? anyone else have withdrawal issues?

My 7 year old son started taking Singulair about 3 months ago. Since then he cries for no reason and over every little thing, he has mood swings, says that he hates himself, is hitting, punching and choking kids in school. His attitude is horrible and he's very disrespectful. I'm hoping once the Singulair is completely out of his system his behaviors will change, but I'm surprised his doctor didn't tell us about the side effects when she prescribed the medication.

ditto on the sore throat! i get sore throat and a muffled sensation in my ears about 2 days after my period starts, mydoctor is checking my throid levels again now i am off the yasmin so may ask her why hormones should affect my throat. nice to see you posting again abs528...how are you doing? are you hanging in there? i have been off yasmin for 5 weeks now and i feel like i am getting better and better all the time,i still have my odd days when the anxiety gets the better of me but in general i am winning,i hope this turns out to be the case for you too. According to my doctor contraceptive pills can cause a worsening of anxiety symptoms and definately makes depression worse so maybe it is the same for OCD? i have always been a "cautious" person but i think the shift to "terrified of my own shadow" was definately caused by the yasmin as now i am off it i seem to be back to being cautious...just a little more so than before! best wishes to you all and if anyone gets an answer about the sore throat thing please please post it here!
