I don't know where to begin with what this drug has done to my family. I did not put this together until I saw it on tv last night. Two weeks after my five year old started taking Singulair he sit down on the couch with me and said "mommy I think something is wrong with me and I said why do you think this and he said I don't know I just feel so sad all the time". I cried for weeks and went to his peds with this and they told me to put him in therapy. That is only the beginning of what I can describe as a road of hell. He would lay down in the floor and just cry and we would ask him why he is crying and he would say I don't know I just can't stop and we have spent many many night up all night with him crying over no reason. He also started having panic attacks. My whole family has been in therapy and then last night I see this on the news I went and looked at the date the medicine was filled and it was exactly two weeks to the day after Shawn started taking Singulair. I can not tell you how I felt last night. I didn't sleep at all. Needless to say I have taken him off of the medicine. Now he has not taken it in three days and I can already tell a difference in him. He hasn't mentioned dying or feeling sad he has been sleeping all night and he hasn't said anything about bad dreams. He hasn't had had any crying fits for no reason and he seems to fell better more energetic.

We're finding that many people have gone through this with their children. I'm so happy you're seeing a change in your son. My son went through exactly the same behavior and hasn't displayed that behavior since we've taken him off Singulair about a month ago. It's unconscionable the pain this drug has caused so many people into thinking they have a problem child when in fact their child is just fine. Next thing you know they would have diagnosed him with some mental health issue and put him on Ritalyn or some other psychotropic drug and lead him down the road to ruin. I'm glad you found your answer like we did.
