Our son started taking Singulair three years ago at age 4. Last ...

My son started taking Singulair two years ago. The changes I have noticed in him are disturbing. He was always a gentle, smart boy who loved music. He was quick to laugh and had many friends. This past year he began to isolate himself. He no longer wanted play dates and would frequently cry for no reason. He developed insomnia and on the weekends was hard to rouse and sometimes slept as late as one PM. He talked about how he wanted to be alone and said he wanted to live on the street away from his family. I could go on and on about the inexplicable, negative changes in my son. I told myself maybe it was just adolescence come early. He seemed so miserable and would no longer play with his younger brother when just a year or more ago they were inseparable. The most shocking thing is a few days ago I found a poem he had written, talking about how the world was a horrible place and it might be better if he died and flew away. You can imagine how heartbreaking it is to read something like this from a once happy, adored 10 year old. Just a day later I heard the news about Singulair causing suicidal thoughts. I immediately pulled him off the medication and the improvement in his mood already is enormous. I am fighting mad! Who would think an allergy medication would make a child's world black and full of despair? It makes me sick to remember how every night I would remind him to take his Singulair thinking I was protecting him. Are there other children out there who have developed mood disorders and are taking this poison? I want to join a class action lawsuit. What can parents do to stop things like this happening again?

My son as well started taking Singulair about 3 years ago and I have had issues with him in the class room every since. I am constally at the school because of his behavior issuesa as well as I told the doctor about a year and ahalf ago that I beleived that the singular was the cause of his acting out. He has been kicked off of the bus about 3 times now and is always at fights at school and I am always at the schhol in fact he had a fight with one of the teachers and was expelled form the school. My son is now 7 years old so where do we go from here?
