I feel sick to my stomach over this. I didn't see the report on the news, but my husband told me a little about it. I didn't look till today and when I read all these postings I can't believe it. My 7 year old daughter has been on Singulair for several years. The past couple of months she has been having some anxiety issues. She started talking about death. Fear of others dying, and today she told me she didn't want to die. She is afraid to go into any room herself, unless someone goes with her (which was never an issue before), and she is super sensitive. Everything gets her upset. I can't believe this all could have been caused by a drug I thought was helping her prevent her asthma. Last night was her last singulair. I hope she gets back to her old self soon.

CHECK with your Doctor or prescribing practitioner. Do not make health decisions based upon what your husband remembers from a story on the evening news. Anxiety and anxiety disorders, including night terrors and unreasoned fear of the dark ARE OFTEN SEEN IN CHILDREN... regardless of medication status. IF your child has serious asthma... PLEASE do not change medications until talking to your pediatrician/ nurse practitioner.
You may be overreacting, and assuming a possible and rare medication side effect is involved. NBC/CBS/CNN/FOX evening news is NOT a reliable and detailed source of science based medical information.

PLEASE... check with your prescribers first.
