Our 4 year-old son was prescribed Singular 4mg tabs approximately 1 year ago and I started to notice a dramatic change in our son's behavior almost immediately. He progressively became more aggressive, suffered from very strange/intense dreams, cried easily, temper tantrums and became very physically aggressive. He also seemed to suffer from dramatic mood swings. He even tried to choke me several times. THIS IS NOT OUR SON!!! We sought out Professional Therapy thinking that it was emotional ties to his father being in Iraq. It was only after I (Pharmacy Technician), decided to investigate the drugs he was taking for allergies a bit further. I felt this "maternal instinct" if you will to discuss termination of the Singular with his doctor. I approach it from a decrease in meds for him at the time. He was taking Zyrtec, Singular and Nasonex. I tapered his dose for a period of two weeks. (This was my decision, please follow DR or Pharmacist recommendations for stopping this drug). We noticed a marked improvement in mood swings, sleeping patterns, attitude, house rule compliance. We agree that his therapy was responsible for some of these changes but it was only after we dc'd the Singular that we noticed a change in his overall being. He is now a more stable and friendly 4yr. old. Trust your instincts as a parent. All drugs carry side effects and you must be well informed as a patient and a parent. Consider the side effects against the usage for the drug. This is our experience with the drug Singular and our Pediatric patient. We will not put our son back on this medication.
