My son, who is 3 years old and 8 months old has been taking singulair for more than a month now and we noticed that he started having some kind of tic disorder. it started with eye widening and blinking then lately he had several unusual jerky movements of the neck and upper extremities. We do not know if this is a type of Hyperkinesia (exaggerated muscular movements) which is one of the side effects written in the manufacturer's drug information sheet. We are very concerned if we should start discontinuing the medication.

I thought this stuff was going to kill me! Sure I could live with the bad taste and the feeling like I was going to hurl, I could even handle the thrush. But then it started to effect my mind. It made me feel so ill. I had confusion, I would get disoriented. Then it got to the point my arms head and neck would have uncontrollable jerky movements. Then it messed with my speech. It was hard to get the words out. While trying to talk I would just start to cry, all the while my arms are flaring. Some thought I must have had a stroke. I looked like I had Parkinson Disease. I took this for about a total of 5 days. The first 2 days were okay, just felt pressure in my head behind my eyes and in my ears. By day three I felt like someone slipped me something bad. That was when the jerks and speech problems started. Once the medication was stopped, it was 72 hours later that the jerking movements stopped and I could speak normally. I was prescribed this for c-diff. The c-diff was a walk in the park compared to what this drug did to me. The doctor says those side effects can happen but it was VERY rare. I guess I was the rare one. So I say it is a VERY bad drug. But it is hard to say if I may have an underline condition that is not known and this drug just brought it to the surface. Either way I would avoid this like drug, that is just my opinion. I now know what hell must be like.
