Memorial weekend symptoms and conditions

WOW!!! I am glad I came across this website. I have twin boys that will be 7 this month. One has been on Singulair for about 3 years for allergy induced asthma and my other son has been on it for 9 months for allergies. I am taking them both off of it today. The son that is taking the medicine for 3 years has become increasingly angry and gets upset over small things. Over Memorial weekend, he lost a game he was playing on the wii and exploded. He was banging his head and then started to hit me. NEVER in my life have I seen him attack anyone. A few days later he threw rocks at his friend because he wanted the wagon. Over the past 3 years I have noticed some change in him and just took it as growing pains. He has always been a strong will child. However, over the past 3 years he has gotten worse and since he has physically attacked me and his friend, I have decided to send him to counseling. Now I firmly believe it is the Singulair.

My other son has been on it since August. He started to have anxiety within a month of taking it. His behavior has been stressed, depressed and not wanting to play with other kids. He was biting his nails to a nub, licking his hands, not talking to anyone at school and rubbing his head. I have also noticed he does like to look at the person he is talking too. Of course I thought the worse and thought he was being molested. I went to his Teacher and she has worked very hard with him, but he is still a loner. If you knew him before, he played with everyone and enjoyed life. I was told by his Ped. that he had anxiety and to have him see a shrink.

I am hoping that after taking them both off this medicine, I will see improvement.

Well i went to the family memorial weekend get together,Everyone asked me how my son was doing,great i said since he is off of the singulair and we realized what had been happening to him.I was armed with jersey mommas blog,and passed it around.My cousins new girlfriend,who has 3 boys ,said my youngest has taken singulair for years he tolerates it well,has been a great drug for him,well great i said but just be informed,as the day went on,her youngest got in a game and through th ball as hard as he could at close range into the face of a younger child,Johnny johnny say sorry she said ,and looked at me and said Jihnny has ADD you know,well i said was he diagnosed before or after Singulair,she thought a moment,and said after.A seed was planted maybe shell start to put the clues of this drug together.
