I have a 15 yr old son, that has been on Singulair for 4 years. H...

HELLO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT MY SON HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS,AND HE IS 15YRS OLD TOO.

Hi, im a 19 year old female and am in my freshman year at college. I can understand exactly what your son is going through. While in high school my parents attributed my behavior to my age, and figured i was just going through some teenage problems. All i wanted was to be happy, or at least content. I was diagnosed with depression and then ADD. When i heard out singulair on the news two weeks ago, i stopped taking singulair right away. In those two weeks i have seen a world of change in myself. My hands stopped shaking, i wake up without dread of another day. I worry alot less and im focusing much better. And even recently my friends have asked me whats changed about me. Im not super happy everyday. But i finally feel normal. I dont have what my parents used to call "moody days" anymore. I really think all my problems started when i took singulair. I feel like 5 years of my life had been wasted on singulair. Once i stopped singulair, i got better.

Also, i became addicted to the medicine the doctor gave me for my ADD, it was focalin, and if taken in a double dosage it made me feel SO happy. So everyday i would take way to much. But since i have been off singulair, i dont feel the need to take focalin because i feel pretty good on my own, which i never had felt before.

this could have been my son. He had an allergy appt with a younger athletic "Fellow" resident and they were talking football and my son shared that he was hearing voices, seeing things, having night terrors. (my 15 year old is 6 foot/200 pounds and very quiet), we then saw many doc, family, allergy, and 2 psychs, they put him on prozac and he reluctantly let us know that instead of one voice he was hearing 3 or 4, i basically freaked out and (thankfully) took him off everything, i got tears in my eye when i read your story, it is not you or your sons fault, we have to do something, this makes me so angry, i hope this information can help your son and make him understand that he was a victim, i am trying to explain to my son who still feels a stigma from all this even though we only shared with familly what was going on, he doubt his own sanity
