Blank stare symptoms and conditions

I have had my Mirena for about 16 months now and have been experiencing all of the below listed side effects. Headaches, Blurred Vision, Dizziness, Back Aches, Acne, Hair Loss, Mood Swings, Loss of Sex Drive, and the newest thing.......blood clots. I noticed a worm like vein in my left breast and went in to see my OBGYN and he sent me over to a surgeon. I was diagnosed with Mondor's Disease. Over this past weekend I have noticed a sharp pain in my leg. I have an appointment today with the surgeon and I will let you know what happens. After all of this I have looked on the internet and deep vein thrombous is a side effect of an IUD. I am praying this will all go away after I have the Mirena removed. I went in last week and my OBGTN refused to remove it disagreeing with me that it isn't causing these things. I called him today and said I want it out now! I will keep you all posted. Thanks.

Here's something to ponder...
Here's a quote from Merck's site "Merck voluntarily updated the worldwide product label for SINGULAIR in October 2007 to include "suicidal thinking and behavior" and included similar changes to the patient product information". So if they voluntarily updated their information, why aren't doctors aware, why is the public not privy to this information?

Moms, Dads, and everyone who is taking Singulair with these side effects..if you are wondering why you've changed since being on Singulair, it just may be the side effects of this drug. Please don't wonder anymore, and take yourself off. You don't need to wean off it (coming from my son's pediatrician). It may take a few weeks to really see results. With our 5 year old son, we saw results little by little, and now it's been a month and he's completely back to normal. No more suicidal thoughts, no more blank stare, completely focused, and is his loving self again.

Every time someone new comes here and posts their story, it just breaks my heart that we've all suffered silently for so long without knowing the causes. To all the Mom's and Dad's who've thought they were doing something wrong as a parent, I feel for you, I was there. We did do something wrong though, we trusted the very person who made an oath to protect our children, to help our children. But we cannot blame ourselves for that. We're doing everything in our power right now to make our children's lives better, be proud of yourselves that you're here, finding the answer. Now let's do something about it. It's important to educate everyone we can about this. Don't let these doctors or compassionless people come in here and tell you there are no side effects, trust your parental instincts and go with them!

As a pediatrician I write for singulair every day.
The medication is for allergies.
Allergies cause adenoidal swelling, which cause sleep disturbances which makes the child tired the next day with makes him over weight, less attentive, hyper and eventually act out.
This in turn makes the child experience parental, peers and teachers criticism/ abuse, with leads to the child feel inadequate, embarrassed, frustrated and eventually depressed and suicidal.

Yes, singulair does cause behavioral change but they appear within the first couple of peels, the rest is due to allergies, lack of medical care, i.e. sleep, singulair, and zyrtec deficiency.
Allergy shots cause 4 times the incidence of suicidally than singulair, and Ritalin 10 times more.
They say in hebrew "once a stone is thrown into a well, thousands of smart people won't find it".
Check it, it's true.

My 6 1/2 year old son has been taking Singulair for 6 weeks, and while it has helped with his asthma, the side affects with this medication are too much to handle. He isn't able to sleep through the night, getting up 4-5 times, sometimes more. He's complained of severe stomach pain and leg pain. He's experienced loss of appetite, and has no concentration. Often we get nothing more than a blank stare from him. His teacher has expressed concern over the drastic change in him since going on Singulair. He is not able to pay attention, cannot complete his work and has become disruptive and aggressive. He's fatigued, and has been more emotional than ever. I stopped this medication 2 days ago and he is already sleeping better,and is more relaxed. I am researching alternative treatments for his asthma, and would warn against using Singulair for children.
