I was horrified when I saw the news report about singulair on Thursday! My little angel had her first asthma attack when she was 5 years old. She was put on Singulair and has been on it for 5 years. My life has been a living HELL since. Temper tantrums, biting, kicking, screaming, nightmares, waking up during the night, clinging to me constantly, We were unable to take her places because we never knew how she would behave in public I felt like a prisoner. We tried putting her in school but she ran away from the teachers and got into fights with other students. The school said she had A.D.H.D. and severe learning disablities I had to pull her out of school and home school her. Before she was on this Devil medicine she was the sweetest little girl you could come across. She was very polite, respectful, happy, and loving. Her doctor always reassured me that it wasn't her medicine. I have 4 girls and she was the only one who had any problems. I thought as a parent I must be doing something wrong! I prayed for 5 years for this nightmare to end I never dreamed a little 5mg pink evil pill was turning my family's life upside down. I couldn't believe that other parents have gone through the same nightmare. I took her off that same night as the report and will never put her on Singulair again. It's been 5 days and I already see a big difference in her behavior. She woke up singing, laughing, and no fighting with her sisters. She wants to help with chores. She is doing great with her school lessons, and very patient with everyone. I thank God for answering all our prayers and giving us our children back. When everyone goes to sleep at night say A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO GOD.

Amen!! Your situation sounds so similiar to mine. Isnt it amazing to see how different they are without Singulair. I am amazed to the fact Im almost in disbelief, never in a million years would I have thought a little pink pill could have caused my son to turn into a little monster but thank God that is all it was. I blamed myself for years because his younger brother didnt have all these emotional problems and was so easy going. All I have ever wanted was my son to be happy and taking him off the devil pill(as you put it) was all it took. I thank God to finally know my child has hope for a bright future, I just wish someone didnt have to die for all this to come out in the open.How traggic for that poor boys parents who were only trusting the judgment of the drs. God bless your daughters and you. Thanks for telling your story, it helps to know we arent alone. Jaimee
