I am one of many that has decided to stop giving my child Singulair. And like many others, I have noticed a great improvement in her behavior.
My question is for those who have done the same. What medication have you replaced the Singulair with and have you noticed any of the same side effects that Singulair was causing? What are your thoughts on Flovent inhaler?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also back with an update
I posted a few days ago about the extreme change for the better I saw in my son when I took him off the Singulair & that this week I was planning to put him back on just to make sure it was the singulair causing his crazy behavior & not a new bipolar med working
well I have now decided not to reintroude it, I think I have tortured him enough this past year that he was on it & I now know in my heart Singulair was the cause of making our lives a miserable living hell this past year :(
I have just sent my complaint to the FDA I also plan to let his psy. know what I think about Singulair & also the allergy doc within the next few wks! so now my ? is what do I do next I dont want to just sit here & do nothing when there are so my families dealing with this
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do right now?
I'll continue to pray for those families affected by this

My doctor warned me that the pain from endometriosis would get worse before it gets better... it definitely got worse, but I'm not seeing the "better". My pain is less frequent, yes, but it's still there, and sometimes worse than it used to be. I did 2 injections, and since I'm not satisfied with the results, I won't be continuing this therapy. The mood swings that I went through almost cost me my marriage - there's only so many times crazy behavior can be blamed on this medication before people begin to blame you and not the shot... I gained maybe 3-5 pounds, my feet swell and sometimes my hands... the worst thing has to be the hot flashes and night sweats. At 27 years old, and as someone who used to be cold all the time, I can't take the constant sweating and feeling like my hands are on fire. I've only gotten my period twice this year (due to another hormone therapy before this shot), and when I had it once on Lupron, I bled for a week and spotted for an additional 2 weeks. It caused an infection, and the odor was so offensive that I couldn't stand to be near myself. That one cleared up, but then I got another infection less than 2 weeks later.
For me, this shot was not worth my time or effort. I'm going off all hormone therapies and I'm just going to deal with the symptoms I have and get on with my life.
