My son, who is 3 years old and 8 months old has been taking singulair for more than a month now and we noticed that he started having some kind of tic disorder. it started with eye widening and blinking then lately he had several unusual jerky movements of the neck and upper extremities. We do not know if this is a type of Hyperkinesia (exaggerated muscular movements) which is one of the side effects written in the manufacturer's drug information sheet. We are very concerned if we should start discontinuing the medication.

We thought my son was having seizures but the doctors say no. They think it is a movement disorder. He started with jerky movements and bad headaches. Now when he gets the headache accompanied with other indicators, sees lights, smells a wierd smell, he goes into a fit. Shaking arms clinching fingers shaking legs and buzzing with his mouth. He says it feels like someone is controling him. could you email me in greater detail what is happening and I will also share with you? mco96@hotmail.com
