I have been an RN for 11 years. I just want to say that I think many of your childrens problems may not be related to Singulair. Children w/ADHD to begin with will probably experience an exacerbation of their symptoms since allergy meds in general can cause a little "jumpiness." Also, as w/ most allergy meds, you can become shaky and some people who are sensetive to such meds may become anxious. I think people are too quick to point the finger. Some of these symptoms may just be normal childhood drama. Take your children back to the doctor and have it checked rather than trying to diagnose the problem yourself. Ive been on singulair for years with no problems. I also in the past had suffered from anxiety. This has done nothing to exacerbate that. I find it to be a great allergy med with far less adverse efffects than over the counter meds like pseudoephedrine. After reading some of these posts it just seems like the blam on Singulair is snowballing just a bit. Again....get a doctor's opinion. Maybe this med is just not rught for eberybody. Thats why there a whole slew of others to try. ....Just my 2 cents.
