I have been posting here since 2005 (under lmholmes back then) and with this recent surge in media reports about singulair I came back to see what's being said more recently and I am getting angrier and angrier with every post I read. How could this have gone on this long? How could children have DIED because of the mental side effects of this drug that HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS AND YEARS? Kate's son and other children who committed suicide might still be alive if someone had listened to us all years ago. When will they hear us? And further, how long will it take for someone to figure out what the long term effects of this drug are. What about all the kids who have been WRONGLY diagnosed with mental illness and are on drugs for that or for ADHD? What do those parents do now? These kids have been pumped full of chemicals they didn't even need. How do we hold these jackasses accountable? I have written to the FDA, to my congresspeople, to whomever I could find who might listen and still nobody is listening. And still kids all over the country are sick because of this stupid pill and their parents don't know it because just about every symptom--yes, even suicide--can be explained away in another way. How can anyone reading all of these posts deny that there is a pattern here? How do we spread the word? I'm disgusted. I vowed long ago (over three years now since my son's life was turned upside down by Singulair) not to put my kids on any medication again that didn't have a long, well-documented history, but everyone with a child on this drug needs to know about these symptoms so they can decide whether or not to keep their kids on it.
