Response to guest #31870 question. My son was on Singulair continually from age 9-15. At age 15 he began to develope acid reflux real bad. He then was diagnosed with Gastritis and Moderate to severe Ulcerative Collitis, thus severe bloody diarea. He also had severe violent behavior on this med and would attack family members in a rage. His condition has not improved much off this med. He still has diarea and behavioral problems, but not violent. I think some of the effects stay with you. For example I think it could possibly have some permanant effect on the brain, as he was on it for 6 years. His behavioral problems started a few years into the med., the Dr. told me their was no connection. I beleived her and continued. Finally he had such bad stomach pains we went to the E.R.. His first ever blood tests showed that his ast/got (liver enzymes) were 3 times elevated (sky high). This is when I took him off singulair and then he developed the diarea and collitis. His live enzymes returned to normal within one month. This was about 2 years ago. I have never put him back on singulair, but I think he will have sone lasting effects forever, since he took this med during some crucial formative years, and for so long. If there is ever a law suit I will be the first to sign up.
