Sorry, I meant 4mg packets once/day
I'm sure it's the Singulair....we had our son back after a few days....don't expect immediate miracles but our son is MUCH better than he was and has NOT displayed the behavior he displayed while he was on Singulair. I'm ripped!!!!!!!!!! I've changed pediatricians, contacted the FDA and Merck. This is one BAD drug!!!!! It's a racket!!!!!
Good for you. The other replier told you his son was back to himself in a few days. In our case, my case of my son with the seizures and sleep disturbances/hallucinations/night terrors and aggressive behavior - it took exactly 3 months to have the seizures controlled/stopped with the help of anti-seizure medication - but as far as his sleeping and behavior - about a month to get my baby back to being himself. You have done the right thing. My email is starwedd2@aol.com - if you want to ask or share with me any further - I am here for any parent going through doubts and literal hell - please do report this to the FDA - I posted a link on this. I even think we should all send emails to the news shows - i.e. Dateline NBC, 20/20, 60 minutes - we have got to stop more children from being damaged or even worse, from dying with this terrible drug.
Your post has brought be to tears as our now five year old son is exhibiting the same behaviors. He is also completely bald! He never had any problems with hair loss until he started taking Singulair. All of the doctors he has seen say that Singulair cannot be the reason, but I have recently done some research and there are plenty of people reporting hair loss as a side effect. My child was just like yours before he started this awful medication. He started pre-school this year and getting him to go in the morning is like pulling teeth. He screams and cries that he does not want to go, yet has a good time when he gets there. He got worse with the birth of my second child. He hits him and tells him he hates him. He has also told me that he hates himself and cannot help being bad. Thank GOD for everyone who has posted the terrible side effects of this medication. He will never take it again, and this crap needs pulled off the market before another child suffers. Good luck to you!'
