No side effects here - my 5 year old has been on Singulair since he was 2 1/2 and has showed no strange symptoms outside of those of a normal 5 year old boy. He has asthma and severe allergies - including a nut/peanut allergy. He also takes Zyrtec in the Spring and Summer seasons (heavy allergy time for him). Gets good grades in Kindergarten and has never had emotional/behavioral issues at school or at home. I am shocked to hear that people are having these extreme reactions! Although, it seems that there are always going to be reactions to ANY drug out there - go to any of the boards on any drug and you will find people with extreme reactions. Singulair has saved my sons lungs, and possibly his life.

I was on NuvaRing for one month, and after the first two weeks already began to notice a change in my mood and sex drive. I became downright depressed all the time, just felt crazy. And I didn't even THINK about sex. Absolutely no sex drive whatsoever. No history of depression and I've had no problems with sex drive in the past. Anyway I put it in again Sunday to start the second month, and started feeling nuts again, so I took it out Monday. Today is Thursday, and I've just experienced some spotting (my period ended yesterday). I was also on Ortho-Tri for about 5 years and got horrible side-effects, such as severe hypoglycemia, heart murmur, and a peanut allergy! But no emotional problems, just on the Ring...

In response to dtrzaski post Im am sending out this question to everyone. We know there have been stool/stomach/weight issues. Are there any other children that it has been discovered to have high cholesterol. My son was discovered to have high cholesterol at around 3yrs old, apprx 6 months after starting Singulair (regardless of a very healthy diet lots of fruit and veggies!) Any thoughts out there?
