My 9 year old daughter has been on singulair for about 5 months now and she is moody and not a very nice person sometimes. Now she in complaining of headaches and even cry's with the pain I want to take her off but I am a bit scared that if I take her off to quick this might be harmful can anyone let me know if they had any problems when they stopped their childs singulair.

I don't know where to begin with what this drug has done to my family. I did not put this together until I saw it on tv last night. Two weeks after my five year old started taking Singulair he sit down on the couch with me and said "mommy I think something is wrong with me and I said why do you think this and he said I don't know I just feel so sad all the time". I cried for weeks and went to his peds with this and they told me to put him in therapy. That is only the beginning of what I can describe as a road of hell. He would lay down in the floor and just cry and we would ask him why he is crying and he would say I don't know I just can't stop and we have spent many many night up all night with him crying over no reason. He also started having panic attacks. My whole family has been in therapy and then last night I see this on the news I went and looked at the date the medicine was filled and it was exactly two weeks to the day after Shawn started taking Singulair. I can not tell you how I felt last night. I didn't sleep at all. Needless to say I have taken him off of the medicine.
Now he has not taken it in three days and I can already tell a difference in him. He hasn't mentioned dying or feeling sad he has been sleeping all night and he hasn't said anything about bad dreams. He hasn't had had any crying fits for no reason and he seems to fell better more energetic.

WOw...Ive been depressed about weight gain, despite healthy eating and exercise. More alarming my finger joints ache so much I've been worried aout early arthritis or Lymes. We thought this was our family miracle after moving to the farm. My daughters seem fine, but I'll be back to the allergist anyway. Most disturbing, the "SIDE EFFECTS LIST" w/ the perscription is very short and lists none of these. I almost didn't even type the search, thought it was all "in my head"! Anyone know if it passes through nursing? My son is high-energy/hyper, but only nurses once daily now. I'm labeled "problem mom" at the peds, guess I should have been more vigilant w/ my own and older kids meds

My son requires two forms of medications to stop the running nose, singulair and pediox. The two together were a very good combination and it did work. By eliminating the signulair on Oct. 6th, his nose is already running and he is coughing. We have tried Zyrtek and a few others I can't even remember, but none work as well. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I will be calling his pediatrician for other suggestions, but I know she will be against us taking him off of the singulair, especially since he has had pneumonia in the past.
