I am so sorry to hear this. These reports need to be reported to the FDA. I reported my son's side effects to them the night I heard about this. My sin has had suidical thoughts, starting at age 4, and still had them at age 8 when I took him off this drug. It appears that no one knew about this side effect, but I wonder what exactly Merck knew. I know this is a difficult time for you, but your son may just be the one of the angels that can save other kids. So sorry for your loss.

dear kate, i am so very sorry for your loss.

I am amazed to hear of all these incredibly young children having suicidal issues. That's horrifying to me. For some odd reason I understand it in teenagers and adults, but not toddlers and very young children. Little ones can't come up with these things without there being a catalyst. Is it their asthma meds?

Dear Kate,

I am so sorry for your loss and can only try to understand your pain. My daughter a Singulair user for three years tried to kill herself with an overdose on March 10, 2008. This was after a year and a half of psychiatrists, counseling and andidepressants/anxiety medication. I just got her out of the hospital on March 20th. I screamed out loud in pain when ABC's newcast about it came on TV Friday morning. To the extent I can, I understand how you must feel. I believe we must report these incidences to the FDA (which I did) as they are reporting only a "handful" of incidences with this medication up to this point. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers...I am so sorry.
