I have a seven year old Daughter that has been on singular for 6 years. The first 3 years she only took it occasionally but the last 3 years she as taken it every day. Also in the last 3 years she has had trouble sleeping all the way through the night she would wake up because of night mares and was afraid of sleeping alone and having mood swings that you would not believe she would go into rages that would leave me in tears because of not being able to help her and after about a year of that i took her to a Psychologist she was given a sleeping pill and was tested for learning disabilities. when they test a child they also ask the parent and the teacher a lot of questions about different situations the results of that test made it sound as if all of this behaviorally problems with my daughter was my fault be cause i did not have a good support family i think that was because i am a single mother but they also said there was nothing essentially wrong with my daughter. all of the things that i have read tonight sound just like the problems that i have had with my daughter and my daughter will not be taking Singular i know that they say that we should not be stopping the medication without talking to our doctor but if singular is the reason my daughter is acting this way then i can handle a runny nose better than a scratching bighting hitting whirlwind that she becomes in her rages

I have a ten year old girl, she has been taking this medicine for about 3 years. I heard a report of some side effects that they have been tracking.
My wife and I decided to look into the side effects a little more and found many that we feel are matching with her behavior, and with her symptoms.
We are going to stop giving her this medication until we feel that it was not the cause of some of her minor issues. From what we can tell the side effects are not permanent, but if any one who reads this knows that these effects can truly become permanent, please e-mail us.Dguzman423@hotmail.com. Thanks
