Wow. It is like I am reading about my son in every one of these entries. The emotional issues - just crying at the drop of a hat, being scared of the smallest issues and being very clingy. We always just figured he was a sensitive kid My son has been on Singular since he was 4-1/2 (he is now 8). I have always insisted it was a miracle drug. He could finally go outside and play and not be bothered by his allergies. So, he needs to be on something similar to this drug for that. Any suggestions? We saw the news report Thursday night and immediately called the allergist on Friday. We are seeing them on Tuesday.

We now have our son on an inhaler called Xoponex....we only give it to him when he absolutely needs it which is like every couple weeks....he has mild asthma. He has not displayed the same behavior after taking him off Singulair.

I think anything but Singulair would be a wise choice. It's my opinion this is on BAD drug for kids. Our 5 yr. old son displayed some very agressive behavior, self loathing, very emotional, anxiety, didn't want to go to school, leg cramps, very restless, night terrors, etc, etc. After two days off Singulair he was back to his normal self. Good luck!!
