WOW! This is simply amazing. Every story I read is like someone is writing about my life. I am a single parent of a beautiful 7 yr old. My daughter has been on Singulair for 5 yrs. Like most she has the nightmares, mood swings, anger, endless energy, talks of death and dying. It is a very hard thing to watch your child go through this. It is horrible to have your 7 yr old tell you to just kill them. I couldn't tell you how many nights I have went to bed in tears after a day on this roller coaster of emotions. Like many other she has been LABELED as an ADHD & ODD child. For the past 2 yrs we have been fighting the battle of the diagnosis of ADHD and ODD and her ped is now saying possibly Bi-Polar. We are now trying a 4th med for the SUPPOSED ADHD since none have seemed to help and some have made it even worse. We have had countless appointments with doctors, counselors, and school about her behavior problems. Not to mention the amount of time at work I have missed. Now her ped has suggested a psychiatrist for the possible diagnosis of Bi-Polar. Well to my surprise all of this may be a side effect of a med that has worked so well for her asthma and allergies. I will be calling her specialist first thing Monday morning and see what options we have because she is getting off of Singulair. I am torn here....part of me is so angry that this med could be what has caused all this pain that my daughter and I have went through BUT part of me will be very happy to know that all these LABELS that my daughter has already gotten from her docs and at school will be wrong. It will be a great relief to know that this could all be over soon.
