I too am on Singulair and have no side effects. But the issue is not adults on Singulair it is children it is a drug that affects them differently. My daughter is 8 years old and has been on it for 3 years. She has been exhibiting similar symptoms as all of the other children. I never thought about the Singulair. The doctor had her see counselors. I started wondering if she needed anxiety medicine. She has a lot of fear, anxiety, anger, screams, is very hateful, sad. But if she misses a dose she gets instantly sick. She has an asthma attack. So I want to know alternatives. I don't want these kids abuse any longer with this drug. I feel so bad for them and my daughter. They have suffered too long. We see the doctor on Tuesday. Anybody have any ideas.

Is she seeing an allergist? I would recommend that first. Find one who is a good prescriber as some are easily swayed by the drug companies. My son's allergist took him off today after 4+ years. The inhaled steroids might be a better option. I have had asthma all of my life and now I take asmanex in the evening and it is effective. It would be good to find out exactly what she is allergic to as asthma is an inflamatory condition in the lung tissue due to allergens. Eliminating some of her triggers could be a huge help, too. Hope this is helpful!
