Screaming and crying symptoms and conditions

I have six year old twins who have been on Singulair since August. Things have been so bad I have considered putting them in counseling. The physical symptoms they have is dry, red eyes, stomach aches, stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, night sweats, body aches, itchy skin, cherry red cheeks and ears, and excessive weight gain. The other symptoms they suffer from are night terrors, sleep walking and reaching for things that are not there. Also anger, depression, very, very irritable they will cry over the least little things. They are doing well in school, but are crying every day they hate school and they basically hate everything. The teacher also tells me they can't pay attention. They have become very aggressive hitting each other and there brother and sister. Screaming and crying for long periods of time. I really started to worry when one of them said he wished he were dead. That is something a six year old should not even think of. I have four kids and I just thought it was family stress and it was because I couldn't devote enough attention to them. I had begun to think that I was the worst mother on the planet. With all these crazy things going on I never dreamed that they were connected. I really don't know why I goggled Singulair side effects, but I am so glad I did. It cannot be a coincidence that so many children and adults have the same symptoms and they all take Singulair. My children have taken their last dose tonight and I pray they will start feeling better. It is such a relief to know that there is a reason for their behavior it was so out of character for them. I usually do not reply to any posts but I feel it is important to let everyone know about this. I will also let my pediatrician know.

I had the Mirena inserted in March of 2007. I was required to sign a release form before they would insert the device. That seemed very strange as no other birth control method I have ever used required a release form.
My former OBGYN Nurse Practitioner had no experience implanting the Mirena into a woman that had not yet had a baby. But she went ahead and did it anyway. It was immediately painful. I cried while it was being inserted. The Nurse gave me an NSAID and sent me home. I wallowed in pain for several days-to the point of screaming and crying at the same time. I called her to ask for something stronger. She told me just to take some Tylenol. For those of you who have had the Mirena, you KNOW it's not the type of pain that can be solved with Tylenol. She is a QUACK. Her name is Leda Riley at the Women's OBGYN center in Cookeville, TN. Yeah, for your sake, NEVER go to this woman. She does not listen nor does she care if you are suffering.
I actually had to call my general physician, who is much more understanding. She prescribed Tramadol (which makes me itch, as it is a narcotic drug) and also 600 mg tablets of Ibuprofen (which are hard on my GERD). But these worked a heck of a lot better than tylenol.
Before the Mirena, I had perfect skin-the type that looks airbrushed in a magazine. Now, I have redness, acne, blackheads and boils. My dermatologist has tried everything, including spot treatments of super strength benzoyl peroxide (10% and higher) to rid me of the acne. Nothing works.
The hair is another thing. There are these inch long hairs growing like mad on my neck and chin. I actually have to shave, cut or chemically remove these hairs. I had no such hair growth prior to the Mirena.
My moods swing wildly and have led to obsessional thoughts. My anxiety is so horrible that I have had to be put on Zoloft. This is really difficult for me, as I am a student Mental Health Counselor. In other words, I know what is going on-the contraindication between my body's hormones and natural chemicals to this Mirena.
Also, I have gained nearly 40 pounds from the Mirena. I don't eat much. We're talking 2 rice cakes for breakfast with water; no lunch and a kashi meal for dinner or a similar low carb dish. I don't drink sodas. I don't eat high carb foods. I don't consume mass amounts of sugar. Then, I look at the rotund version of what used to be my beautiful and curvy figure in the mirror. What I see makes me so upset that I just cry.
I know that what is going on with my body is wrong. You can feel it way deep down on a level that seems so basic, so subconscious almost. With the 3 week long periods, followed by spotting for another week, then back to the period---I am ready to have my old period back. In fact, I WANT it back. I don't care, just so long as I don't have to wear damned tampons any longer than 5 to 7 days per month! (Can I get an Amen?)
This was originally supposed to prevent pregnancy (although I have had one ectopic pregnancy with this thing already). I had good intentions, but this is horrible. If you look VERY closely at the patient info on the Mirena, you'll find out that the researchers and developers of this IUD have absolutely no idea how this thing really works (hence the release form?).
If you do decide you want to get the Mirena, please read the blog spots about the real deal behind this thing. There are other options with much less pain and change. Think very hard and remember that no matter your decision, there are hundreds of women supporting you everywhere.

My daughter is 5 years old and has been on singulair for 1 week. i have already noticed a dramatic change in her behavior. she has become irritable, mean, nasty, and emotional. she has had me in tears on a daily basis. she has turned into a monster. we will be calling the doctor in the morning!

I get migraines at least a couple times a month and headaches a few times a week. I've not yet been able to pin down some kind of trigger (caffeine, chocolate, sodium, etc), so my doctor suggested topamax. I had high hopes to live headache free and liked the idea of potential weight loss as a side effect. However, I took one pill, 25 mg., before bed, and woke up the next morning with a sore back. I figure'd I'd slept wrong, and I'd walk off the pain, but it didn't go away. After several days I forgot a dose, the next morning I felt much better, could actually walk around. A few more days of pills and one night I went to bed, in extreme pain. The next morning I was in agony, the pain so bad that I was screaming and crying just trying to take a couple steps to the bathroom. I felt like I'd never be able to straighten up or walk right again. I checked my prescription data and it said a rare side effect was severe back and bone pain. I contacted my doctor, who advised me to quit topamax for the time being, though she was in doubt my pain was due to the pills. The cause of back pain is sometimes hard to diagnose, I'll give her that, but the timing of it was strange to say the least, and I'd never had that kind of pain before. I hope other people get pain relief from their headaches and migraines, but for me, I'm too scared to try again, and am searching for other options for headache relief.

I have only taken three doses of this drug, and today while napping, I had the worst dream, the scariest psychidelic dream. It is hard to describe. There were sounds and I was screaming and crying and felt like I was going crazy and couldn't wake myself up. I am sixty years old and my son lives far away and I dreamed that he was visiting to say goodbye to me because I was dying. I felt completely insane.
I was given the drug because of a severe cough that lasted over 48 hours, I am feeling a little better, the cough is subsiding but I am NOT going to take levaquin one more time or ever again.
Beware of this drug. It is a dangerous upsetting drug.

My doctor recently increased my dose of Effexor, and I've started have nightmares almost every night. My husband has to wake me up in the middle of the night because he hears me screaming and crying. And, when I wake up, it's like the dream was completely real because it was so vivid. I've also had sexual side effects, which needless to say my husband isn't too happy about and neither am I.

Delusionary hullucinations. My grandmother Avelox took right before she went to bed, awoke in the night to use the restroom and saw people all over her bathroom floor. She proceeded to kick at them, screaming and crying. Was afraid to get off toliet to go back to bed because she was afraid of stepping on these people on the floor. Also had hot flashed. Hullucination continued the next day when she professed to seeing "Something or Someone" in her flower pot. Affraid to be alone.
