I have been reading all of the responses for a few days now. My 9 year old son has been on Singular for a few years now. I took him off Singular on Friday night. He has always been my moody and difficult one - not bad, he was very sensitive. He was hard to wake up in the morning for school. He was often grumpy and would cry at the drop of a hat. Some days he was more pleasant than others, but we never knew what would set him off. Some days he could be downright nasty. Little things would get under his skin and annoy him - especially anything his younger brothers did! He would cry for no reason and when asked would say, "I down know why I am crying, I just don't know." When he woke up on Sunday morning, he was different - much happier and easy going. Throughout the day we saw a different child. He has gotten up each morning without complaint, got ready for school, packed his bag, and got a snack for the day. When he couldn't find his school bag, he didn't flip out and blame everyone else (which would have been the normal reaction.) Instead, he found it by himself! He is no longer arguing about everything. He is nice to be around. I'm still holding my breath and waiting for something to happen. My husband is convinced that Singular has to be the cause - what else would have caused this dramatic shift in his behavior. I want to see how he is over the next few weeks. As each day passes, I am believing more and more that this drug caused these behaviors and getting angrier and angrier

Your son sounds exactly like my 8 year old daughter. Her last dose was Wed and on Sun we also noticed a HUGE difference in her! She brushed off little things that would've normally set her off. I just realized the stress it has caused the family when my 14 year old son said he was surpised she didn't flip out when she spilled her drink in the car (normally she would have blamed someone else and stomped upstairs crying about how horrible her life is.) She is sleeping so much better now and actually went to bed Mon night without any tantrums! I still find myself tensing up when something goes wrong expecting her to blow up but that really hasn't happened yet. Good luck!

Yes it's amazing the amount of tension we've all undergone in our homes because of this drug. About 5 days after we took our son off, I was telling my 10 year old daugther that she was sooooo good that day, and she said "It was easy because Matthew isn't being mean anymore". I can say for sure that my other children suffered terribly because of his actions. Not anymore!!! :)
