Demise symptoms and conditions

You know what the sad part about all this is for us parents who have lived through this and we just know it is the Singulair who did the damage to our children, that no matter how many times you report this to the FDA and Merck (first of all, Merck could care less unless of course, now they look at it more closely because there was an actual death reported and they fear the biggest monster of all - a lawsuit - it is fear of losing money that may actually cause Merck to take some overdue action) - no one will truly listen. Again, now they may start to listen because a death is actually documented. It all boils down to profitability. The profitable pharmaceutical market in our country makes it difficult to get things done properly for the benefit of the patient. There is just too much money involved. For every parent I meet, 3 out of 5 have their children on Singulair - how alarming is that?! Pediatricians have been bombarded by pharmaceutical sales reps promoting this drug as the cure all and frankly it will be the demise for many particularly children.
Again, I can only speak for myself and also what about all the other parents who listed all these side effects even back when I posted my own child's in 2005 on http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=20829&name=SINGULAIR

Too much of a coincidence. And I respect everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe that most of us are here on this board out of concern for ourselves, our own children or others - those who are happy with Singulair - why are you here reading this? I just don't understand what would bring you to this board to read these posts if you are defending Singulair not concerned about it.

5 year olds do not talk about suicide...period!!!

My child was on no other medications. I have reported this to Merck and the FDA and have also changed pediatricians after a lengthy discussion with her. I cannot speak for others.

The issues with Singulair are far from over. Stay tuned.

On July 5, I started a 10 day regimine of 500 mg once a day. The first day was horrible, decreased cognative skills,insomnia, twitching in left hand, tingling and numbness is the foot and lower right leg. I never thought it was the levaquin. I thought it was my inhaler or decongestant. So I continued on with my "kill pills" for another seven days. After feeling like I was on my death bed, I came across these web sights and stopped taking it after my eighth day. I am now four days and I have new symptoms. My mouth feels like cotton with a metallic taste, I feel like I am choking on my foamy clear spit, my throat seems swollen and I have a hard time swallowing. My right rib cage feels like it is cracked. I'm scared and would wish this nightmare would end. I'm afraid to go running for fear of rupturing a tendon. Any ideas on natural detox method? I really don't want to support the pharmaceutical industry in my demise.
