I can't believe what I'm reading tonight on this page, I decided that today was the day I needed to check up on side effects of singulair, since my 5yro, needs his 3rd refill. Three weeks ago I took my boy to the doctor, because of severe weeknes,fatigue. irritability,lose of interest in studying, in sports, in home works, and lose of appetite one of my main concern, I ask his ped if maybe these could be side effects from his singulair, She said no way she hasn't heard of such effects from this drug, and that the side effects form singulair was realy mild, I took her word on it and continue my poor lillte boy in the hell he is living in, oh. she send him to the lab and draw blod for a series of exams, but find nothing so I continue my days wondering and suffering for my child, My mother-in-law even recomended counseling for my boy since we have a new baby at home, tonight I decided before getting his reffill why not do some research and find out what other people are saying? this is the first page i ran in to and I know that I dont need to read much more to take my boy off of this singulair. ps. we can not rely on our doctors to talk bad of any drug.

I've only been on singulair for 6 days and it is now 4:23am. I just couldn't sleep tonight. I've been having the strangest dreams and I commented to my wife about them. We just laughed it off. Anyway, at this time of the morning, my EARS are "Hissing" so loudly, not ringing, however I do detect a slight pulsating tonal sound in my left ear, that I just couldn't sleep anymore. I've a history of Tinnitus but something has exacerbated my tinnitus dramatically, so much so it is keeping me awake. I think I'll be needing something to help me sleep now. Perhaps I will stay off the Singulair for now just to see if life returns to some kind of normalcy. Could it be a side effect of Singulair. I don't know but I felt like driving something through my head to stop all the loud noise. Has anyone else experienced elevated levels, or a new development of "Ringing in the Ears", commonly known as Tinnitus?

I did a copy and paste of my reply to another poster. Here is my reply:
My son was "diagnosed" with Morbid OCD while on Singulair. In addition to this HORRIBLE disorder, he was aggressive, depressed, moody, sad, developed facial tics, nightmares, headaches, hallucinations (audio AND visual), ETC., ETC., ETC., and the list goes on and on and on.
ITS THE SINGULAIR! Unfortunately I didn't realize this was what it was and I let my sweet, wonderful little boy suffer for years. When I found the information that Singulair causes such horrible side effects I took my son off of it immediately. It took a number of months for my son to get back to normal (though I must admit, I had forgotten what that was after such a long time of dealing with his "severe thought disorder"). Today, he is happy, healthy and is now a normal thriving 9yr. old boy. SINGULAIR IS POISON! Take care!
