Thank you to all those who have taken the time to post on this message board. I am an 18 year old senior in high school and I have been taking Singulair since I was in 7th grade (figure 12 or 13 years old). I could never understand why as of 7th grade I changed so much and when the reports for Singulair came out in the news, I originally did not pay it any mind, but I decided to see if there was any truth to it. Then, I came across this message board and I was reading exactly what I have been going through for about 5 years. This is amazing. I thought that there was something wrong with *me*. I felt disconnected from my siblings and could not understand what was happening. I never even thought there was some connection between my emotional state and the medication I was on. I used to be a straight-A student and as the years have progressed, I have been one who cannot even hold a spot on the honor roll. Also, all of a sudden, I lacked confidence in social situations and was afraid to raise my hand in class. I was a completely different person. I used to want to kill myself for the littlest thing or even NO reason at all. There was a time I can remember where I held scissors to my wrists with the desire to cut them. There have been times where I'd just go into the fetal position, cry, and generally freak out. There were times where I would just cry for no reason. Almost everyday, I cry for NO REASON, which is why I finally decided to see if these claims about Singular were true. Reading the messages on this board have pushed me to stop taking Singulair. Thank you! :D I plan on posting an UPDATE in about a week and seeing if my emotional being changes.

Hang in there and DO NOT HURT YOURSELF! I hope your symptoms go away since you stopped this drug. My son has suffered the same way and he says that in the 2 days since he has been off he feels that he would never want to hurt himself, now. I am so happy that you were brave enough to post! You can report your symptoms to the FDA online. They need to know! Take care and feel better. You are very special and this world needs you!!!!
