I have already posted on Friday about my granddaughter. But I want to say that with all of the stories about Singulair being so similar and so heartbreaking that organization is the key. Merck and the FDA are so closely allied that the truth may never come out in scientific terms.I an only hope that with the deaths that have occurred and forced this out into the open that parents and children who have been so scammed and victimized will have a voice. Nothing is worse than harming a child and these companies knew about these side effects(by their own admission) but marketed them to the doctors and the public anyway. How is it that a few doctors knew the dangers and others didn't? That's bizarre, unless most doctors get rewards from the drug reps for prescribing this drug. Did the reps tell them , "Oh it works great on allergies but turns your 9 year-old into a sad, depressed, suicidal and bipolar child?" Even if they didn't there's enough knowledge out there given to doctors at conferences, journals, etc to inform them. That's their job. I am writing to the governor, my congressman, my Senator every day until they hold hearings on what us parents and our poor children have been through with this drug. Please do the same.It may fall on deaf ears but it's a small price to pay for the damage this drug has done.

I agree with writing about the side effects to the government. Great things can happen in numbers.
