My daughter is in kindergarten and has been on singulair for abou...

My son is now only on claratin for both food and enviromental allergies and it's hard to say right now. With the Chicago weather being in the 60's tomorrow, I will see. Don't beat yourself up about this and hang in there!

My son was on singulair 3 1/2 years,nasonex and claritin. I have taken him off of singulair and nasonex and so far he has just been using claritin with dose of mucinex (per allergist) to help thin mucus (he was getting numerous sinus infections) he has food and enviromental allergies. My only advice is go with your gut.. Listen to that voice inside of you. I waited 3 1/2 years to listen to mine and that I regret! The more time went on the worse he got. Im happy that after 1 week off the happy boy is back!

There are a lot of other things you can try. Claritin or Zyrtec, or good ole benedryl. My son almost got thrown out of kindergarten because of behavior issues. He teacher told me that he needed to learn not to cry so much because he was going to be labeled a "cry baby". I can't tell you a single day that he didn't burst into tears over something. He was on Singulair since he was two. He also takes zyrtec, and nasacort aq. He has asthma and allergies to just about everything. Just don't let her suffer with depression just to cure her allergies. He has been off singulair for 7 days. He is happier than I have seen him in years.
