Hi All -- I am reading the effects that you have posted, and while I agree that after taking singular for 4 years, I do have the some of symptoms listed... BUT.. NOW I BREATH... I was living from nebulizer treatment to treatment, on Prednisone 4-5 times a year, had no energy and was afraid to do any exercise at all because of lack of breath. I used to negotiate with my Doctors on trying everything before taking Prednisone because of the side effects which are also mood swings and major anxiety... since taking Singular I have had a life -- I am aware of my asthma and allergies but have had pneumonia only once... PLEASE -- Weigh the options... consider death through lack of breath and life - compared to suicide ... both are not living. While the anxiety of Singular is real - through experience so is the ability to breath, live and when you are aware of it - the anxiety is manageable. NO DRUG IS WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS... you need to balance the pro's and con's for you and your family. Make conscious and informed decisions, work with your physicians.

I actually just got off the phone with my daughters preschool and we were discussing the same thing! Although, she has been acting up and is sometimes extremely difficult to handle now, she IS breathing properly. It amazes me that this little pill that she chews up can be so effective. She has been hospitalized 6 times in her little life, has a 2 daily neb. treatments of Pulmicort, and has had so many emergency visits to the e.r. and dr., all due to her asthma!! That is a thing of the past now that she is taking the Singulair, however, I now get frequent calls from her preschool about her behavior, and she has me stressed out alot!!! I don't know...I'm gonna speak to her pediatritian.....

Can I ask what is your age?
These are children... children who can't explain their side affects.
And don't understand these side affects that are making them feel crazy.
As an adult you can cope with this... but as a child, how can you explain anxiety and teach them to deal with it?
