I am sitting here in absolute shock. I cannot believe all that i have heard from the wonderful people posting on here. My son has been talking singular for 2 yrs now. I did take him off in the summer months. He was given this medicine for allergies and bronchial problems he seem to have in the winter. He is 5 and was also diagnosed with epilepsy. He has "absent seizures" and has had a difficult time finding a good combo of meds to treat the seizures. Last summer he seemed to be very good, had no seizures for months and i thought that Sick Kids had found a fix. When winter came around I put him back on singular. I am guessing about a month after i was back on the phone with the doctors telling them that again this epilepsy meds were causing sleeping and anxiety problems. HE has been on 3 diff meds since and still having sleeping, pains, headaches and contently scared of everything. We signed him up for skating lessons, and had to cancel do to the music would cause him to have an all out panic attack. TV commercials that have any type of Bass cause him to walk backwards around the TV so he will not see it. I have been blaming the epilepsy meds all along. I am sooo frustrated, if this is the cause of all our problems i will be so hurt and angry. This medication that we were told is a simple product that a lot of people are on has seemed to be a worse nightmare. I will calling my doctor tomorrow and discussing this.

when did the seizures start? onset of singulair? some kids have been suffering seizures in addition to other side effects while taking singulair. i am so glad the word is starting to get out. this has been a long time coming. i discovered the side effect link in my son about 1 year ago. i bless the day i found this site and put it all together.
