Daughter age symptoms and conditions

After beginning Singulair, my daughter (age 6 at the time) had tantrums unlike she had ever had (completely inconsolable), scary dreams with guns and knives, that people were chasing and killing her; complained of leg pains, stomach pains with nausea, headaches, hearing bells (I couldn't hear them), itching, and said she wished she could be dead; that if she had a gun she would kill herself. I attributed it to being adopted, and got her into therapy. The fearfulness at night has not stopped, and at times she is still aggressive with me. I am taking her off the Singulair today! She is now 7. I feel so guilty, and so angry at her pediatrician who treated me like I was a hysterical mother when I called him about these symptoms showing up over a year ago!!

My dear daughter age 10 with history of EhlersDanlos Syndrome and Asthma, Has always been on her regular treatment of QVAR and Albuterol from the time she was a baby ,Today I took her for a recheck of her pneumonia,found out she lost three pounds in a week and he started her on a Nebulizer machine first dose today went find .Second dose half way through we stopped her machine to see how much she had used and her left hand was curled up and she could not control it ,She had the jitters to go with this . Her hand was weak and at bedtime was still week. Dear husband says she wont take that again and we are following up first thing in morning with doctor. I am doing my praying tonight!!!!!
Double check with doctor about side effects .

Oh my goodness.....my daughter, age 17, had her first injection in June 2008, started losing her hair w/in a month. We thought it was form straightening, some high lightening etc. She had blood work done which showed she was anemic...strange, as 2yrs prior her blood work was stellar, and she had not changed her diet, or physical activity. She increased her iron and protein intake (along w/ supplements).....three months later, and after her second injection, iron was still anemic....worse actually, and her hair loss significant.I found this website last night....and I am floored......I called MERCK today and spoke to a representative wh o was not aware of the hair loss issue, but said that in their case studies, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia was a side effect.....which leads to hair loss itself.....so I am researching now what to do next.....anyone else have this issue??????

I already posted a message that my step daughter age 22 passed away from a blood clot she was perfectly healthy .The first thing the coroner ask was if she was on birth control, Please read the sacramento bee sept 3rd local page . .They did a big story on the nuvaring and you should be informed . .

I have three children who were all taking Singulair and also Zyrtec. My oldest, 11 year old son has been on these medications since he was diagnosed with chronic Asthma at age 3. The aggressive behavior, bad dreams, leg cramps (growing pains, we were told),head aches and stomach aches were all explained as age appropriate for a 3 year old boy. As he grew older, he would say he wished he or one of his siblings were dead. Yes, the Singulair
along with a Flovent inhaler controlled his Asthma wonderfully. We have never had to take him to the ER. However, after hearing in the News about the Singulair, I have done a lot of research. I have not given him either of these meds for a month now. He does still use the Flovent. After not having any Asthma attacks for about a year now, we were hoping he was out growing it. So, I guess it was good timing. And then the trees started blooming and the pollen is everywhere. Son gets congested, coughing up lots of thick, green mucus. I treated him with Children's Mucinex mini-melts, benadryl, and sudafed. It helped that it was Spring break and I could treat ever 4 hours. He needed the nebulizer a total of about 6 times for the entire week. Today, he was mucus free. As for his behavior, he still acts like a typical 11 year old boy, but has been less aggressive and mean towards his siblings.
My daughter age 10 has been on Singulair and Zyrtec for unknown allergies off and on for about 5 years now. They did seem to help, but once again we had unexplained behavior. At age 5 she told me she wanted to kill herself. The school counselor said she must have heard it on TV.Bad dreams, headaches,mean to brothers (above the normal sibling rivalry thing), mean to me, leg cramps, stomach pains,itching all over. Many times, too many to count, she would be moody and go into fits of rage. When asked what was wrong, she would cry and cry that she didn't know. Been off for a month, and less rage. Actually playing nicely with younger brother. Recently, the pediatrician ran a lot of blood tests. Daughter complained that she hurt all over and she ran a low grade temp for 3 weeks. (less that 99.7) All tests came back fine. Last Monday, the fever went away and the aches are gone.
Now for the last, my 7 year old son has been off and on these two meds for about 5 years for severe allergies. Again, they did help. He did not react as badly as my other two children did. Leg cramps( which he still has nightly, just might be growing pains),headaches, and bad dreams are the only three I can think of right now. Anyhow, after hearing about the boy on the news, I got scared. Plain and Simple. My husband thinks this is a bunch of nonsense and everything can be explained. The Singulair was costing us a hundred dollars a bottle for a month supply for one child.
I am still watching my children very closely,especially my asthmatic. I still haven't told the pediatrician that I've taken them off the meds.

I had Hoshimotos Thyroiditis which turned cancerous and thyroid had to be removed . My daughter ( age 36) had the same thing with the same outcome.Since my surgery I had radiation treatment and now I was put on lavoxyl 125Micrograms.I have sleepless nights and no regulation of body temperature .One minute I am hot the ,next I am freezing . At least I don't feel like a walking dead person like when I was off of everything for my radiation treatment, but I still need to find something that will control my body temp and I also get bad headaches and have memory loss.

My daughter age 20 just started on synthroid necessary post radiation for Hodgkins. Since starting she has had a significant personality change, going from friendly and outgoing with me to alot of hostility and anger. i wonder if anyone else has any knowledge of behavior changes with syntrhoid? thanks

My daughter, age 4, has been taking Singulair for a couple of months now. She has serious allergies and asthma, both of which seem to have been contained almost immediately. But, like the rest of you, she began experiencing odd issues.

I didn't give them much thought until I saw all the postings today. The issues I have notices are: 1. Pain in her hip and joints. 2. Agitation, restlessness and aggressive behavior. 3. Inability to sleep. 4. Tiredness and fatigue. 5. Headaches. 6. Bruising. 7. Within the last few days, I noticed what appeared to be a mosquito bite, but just seems different. Will be talking to the doctor later today. Thank you all for your postings.
