Feels so much better symptoms and conditions

My 3-year old daughter has had recurrent bronchitis and allergies for over a year now. She's been on antibiotics constantly, and we're looking at having her tonsils removed. Her ped suggested that maybe she has asthma and her infections are secondary to that, so maybe try Singulair. We filled the prescription, but I didn't give it to her based on what I read here.

During the next few months, we repeated bronchial infections and antibiotics. Finally we had to try prophylatic antibiotics. She got all gunky and wheezy again...but no fever so at least no infection but she was obviously wheezing and congested, so we decided it probably was asthma and decided to try Singulair (this was earlier this week). Not only has she recovered from her latest congestion problem quickly, her behavior has actually improved (?) as in only 1 tantrum in the last two days, her appetite is way up, and she actually slept through the night last night (first time in 3 years). I think she feels so much better, and it has so far been wonderful for her.

About six months after my daughter started taking yasmine. her moods changed, her personality changed, she was is a state of depression and was having panic attacks regularly.she lost an excessive amount of weight and was thinking about suicide. I asked her doctor and a gyn if the yasmine could possibly be causing these side effects. They both said no. So she started getting treatments for depression and anxiety and was put on medication. Paxil. This medication seemed to be helping at first but then she started having the same effects as before and she was still taking the yasmine. in the last 3 months she has been taking the birth control shot and has not taken yasmine or paxil and is now doing great. I'm really disappointed in her doctor's because a lot of her misery could have been avoided if we had been told this earlier. My daughter was on Yasmine for 2 years before I finally decide to check the side effects from the internet myself. Now she says she feels so much better and is back doing things with her friends again is having a fun teenage life. Never again will I let her use Yasmine!!!!

My entry is slightly different the the ones I have read so far. Iam writing in behalf of my 10 yr old daughter who has recently been diagnosed with a pretty sever case of hypothyroid. She has been on Levothyroxine for 6 months. At first it was amazing.She went for being anti social and extreamly lazy to finally acting like a 10 yr. old and playing and making friends. She has grown almost 4 inches and lost 26 lbs. Of course she is more to handle but I enjoyed seeing her act like a kid. How ever she did have insomnia, but has over come that. But in the last 3 months she has NO train of thought she has gone from a gradeA student(i know alot of it was because she had no friends or social life,childrenare very crule and all she did in school was work, no socializing) But now her 5th grade teacher does not belive she is the same child.She began the meds in july, so her teacher never knew the old Dani. But of course she looked up her previous records and saw she went from being in the 98th percentile nationwide to failing this years Terra Nova testing. The teacher knows Dani is a wonderful child and this is not rebelling. But at the same time she has not learned anything this year. I spoke to her doctor and she blew it off, because her "T" tests are finally in range and no longer has 400 cholesteral level. Hypothyroidism took every effect on my child, just short of hospitalization. I was told she has to be on this for ever.She says she feels so much better, but she will have to repeat the 5th grade.I have no problem! Healyh comes first but her side effects are getting worse every day! Will she ever be able to live a productful life when she can't remember anything.Even things she learned years ago! I am just a very worried mother that has no answer! 4 hours too do 20 SIMPLE math problems! Please help!
