I have been on Singulair since I was in the 5th grade and no one could figure out my strange behavior, and now it all makes sense. When I was younger every time I took Singulair I had reactions similar to ADHD, but my mother just thought of it as a normal thing for a child to have extra energy. After these ADHD episodes I would be completely wiped out. I kept to myself in middle school and became obsessed with death. Many would say I was anti-social. The ADHD episodes lasted well into my early high school years until my dosage was doubled to 10MG from 5MG. then it seemed as though everything fell apart I became extremely anti-social, isolating myself from everyone including my family. There were many days where I simply did not speak a word, until the point where my voice was so weak it croaked. I wanted to run away from everyone, I wanted to be alone. I would cry myself to sleep many times, I even started to cut myself, and developed an eating disorder. I hid everything because I didn't know why I felt the way I did. I was afraid that because I didn't know people would think I was crazy. In my junior year I started having suicidal thoughts, planning how I would commit such an act. Luckily for me I started to rebel to what my mother desired for my life. To continue my rebellion there were periods when I stopped taking Singulair. The suicide thoughts slowly diminished but were still present. I started to take Singulair again during my senior year and close to graduation I was about to commit suicide. I felt like I was about to explode. I started to skip dosages until my mother realized I stopped taking my medication again, and she monitored my intake of the medication. Starting college was hard for me not academically but socially and emotionally. I hated going to school. There were times where I would sit in class and wanted to burst out crying. It got so bad that I started to hand papers in late and not hand in any at all, to skipping classes and walking around town until it was time to go home. No one really paid attention to how I felt because they just said that I felt that way because I was a freshmen in college. But I felt that it wasn't so that what I was feeling was getting worst. I couldn't concentrate in class and I was not sleeping well, often only sleeping 2 hours before going to school and starting my day. This semester I have rarely taken Singulair and my emotional well being has increased. I don't know if this is all just some kind of coincidence or if Singulair really does have those effects on people. I hope that the FDA is able to figure it out, but at the same time we should ask ourselves if they would really remove something from the market that is bringing in over 4 billion dollars a year???

aiincounter,

Do you feel your eating disorder symptoms have been also relieved by stopping Singulair?
