My 5 year old daughter had been taking Clarinex daily for about 2 years because of bad allergies. I had not noticed any change in her behavior or personality during that time frame. However, I did not like having to give her medicine every day so I began to look into more natural remedies. She now takes an Omega-3 liquid that has antioxidants, DHA, & EPA. She has not had an allergy related sickness as of yet, it has been about 2 months.
My son (now 4) was on Clarinex for about 36 hours when he was about 2 1/2 yrs old. Needless to say, after his horrid behavior, we took him off of it. He's been on Singulair for about a year now and is just fine. I only put him on it when his asthma symptoms flare up and he's doing just fine. I even asked his dr. about Singulair and he said just keep him on it. I took him off of it for a few days (after reading about the side effects) and ended up having to take him to the ER w/ severe breathing probs. Singulair really does work.
