My daughter is 7 years old. She has severe skin problems due to allergies. She has been complaining of stomach aches after a week or so of singulair which seem to have gotten worse. When she first started using it she also started having a lot of fear, nervousness, and anxiety- seeing things that aren't there etc. I was hoping that these side effects would go away since it seems to have helped her allergies and skin. However, after reading the remarks of others, I am very concerned. I think I will try skipping her dose tonight and see what happens tomorrow- maybe taper it off slowly. We switched to singulair because claritain makes her tired, and benedryl makes her extremely tired as well as see things that aren't there. Anyone had any good experience with any other allergy meds which may help with allergies and atopic dermatitis?

My son was also prescribed Singular for allergies and had severe stomach pains. The side effects of all these medications are very hard on kids. It seems they solve the problem only to create another. My daughter suffers from skin problems and I have found what I call miracle cream. It isn't the sink in your skin super creamy lotion. It is rather thick but it does work especially when you use it at night before bed. I usually get less complaints about the greasy thick feeling of it. I hope it works for you, please give it a try. No side effects and all natural! The website is www.egyptianmagic.com. It can be bought at most natural food stores such as M.O.M's. I am in no way employed by this company or affilated with it in anyway, but truly a grateful consumer. This will solve many skin issues and some of the worst I've seen. I wish you luck!

I have found that Claritan D is a good way to avoid the extreme tiredness. I take Zyrtec at night before i go to bed and the onset of the tiredness occurs while I am asleep. I would also recommend that you look into Proactive and see if it would work for the condition your child has.
