I have always been active April of this year I became short of breathe and was taken to the hospital ,the Dr said I had asthma.They put me on ADVAIR 250/50, they found out I have a staff infection in my trachea and bronchial tubes so I have been on anibotics and Advair,as of today I feel awful I can not take a deep breathe without a struggle ,I was watching Fox News this AM and it came across the screen about pulling Advair of the market or putting warnings on the label that Advair can cause bad asthma attacks and possible death!!!! I ache all over not able to breathe and barely go up steps. Before this I was caring for my grandchildren a 4 yr old and 5 yr old lived with us for 2 years,I CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR THEM!!! Iam only 59 yrs young. THROWING ADVAIR AWAY!! I WASNT MY LIFE BACK!!! JES

Our daughter has been on Singulair for four years that we can recall and are in the process of obtaining medical records to find out for sure.
She was diagnosed with A.D.H.D. when she was first starting school and allergies in the first grade. She was on liquid Claritan-D up until she started Singulair (4 or 5 Yrs ago).
Since she began taking the Singulair along with her A.D.H.D. meds. she has become very depressed, anxious, and sometimes extremely angry for no apparent reason.
Her elementary school career thus far has pretty much been a total waste because she does not pay attention or is outright defiant. And She has started stealing from other students.
We elected to try natural treatment for the A.D.H.D. with limited success and now we know why! The Singulair is counteracting the treatment! I would bet my last dollar that she will improve without the continued use of Singulair!
Before she started taking the Singulair she was always an outgoing kid that loved life unconditionally and now she is always down in the dumps and struggles through the school day and it is putting pressure on us as parents because the school gives her detention for not completing work or acting out in class etc.
She frequently complains of tummy aches and headaches or joint pain.
I feel really horrified as a parent because I argued with her just this morning and made her take the Singulair before school!
Even if taking her off this med. changes her future it won't erase the memories of her childhood school years that should have been some of the happiest times in her life and are now just painful ones she will try to forget!
We all need to find other parents in our own towns and get together a group and contact a lawyers office and file class action suits against the monsters who created this mess!
