WOW! I cant believe this, I happened to see the news this morning about the correlation between Singulair and suicide. After reading all the posts, I am amazed, how many stories describe my 13 year old son. He has been on Singulair since he was 5! We have gone thought he ADHD, BI Polar diagnoses, taking medications and therapy. Funny thing, once we stopped the meds for ADHD and Bi Polar, we did not see a difference in his behavior. We have just chalked it up to an emotional child. He has said since he was 5 that he wished he would die (hence starting therapy for depression) quick temper, loss of attention in school, leg pains (growing pains as I was told by the doctor) and the list goes on..... We just this week stopped the Singulair, hoping he has outgrown his childhood asthma and also due to loss of insurance, we could not afford it, and then this morning I see the news! It pains me that all these years I have spent trying to help my child with his emotional issues and it may be linked to a medication that helped him breathe. It is nice to know that so many others have the same problems and he is not the only one. I hope also that the effects are not permanent and the meds come out of his system quickly!
