I am speechless at all the postings re: Singulair. Both of my sons-ages 12 and 10 - have been on Singulair for over 5years for Allergies/Asthma induced by allergies and after reading the possible side effects, I now realize that my oldest son has been affected. His behavior, sleeping habits and social interaction has changed and in the last couple years has increased out of control. I recently made an appt. for him w/a therapist re: anger issues and as of today, called his allergist re: taking him off Singulair cold turkey. He still takes Zyrtec every day and I'm hoping that will be enough for his seasonal allergies to get him through. I miss my sweet boy and will try to make up to him what I've done by allowing this drug to damage his inner self. Justin/Jake's mom-Ohio angelray9698@att.net.

Please don't beat yourself up! We all trusted our Dr.s and if we had know this we would have NEVER subjected them to this! I'm hoping hoping that you are taking them both off of it! Please go back and read the posts since the beginning of April! Keep us posted as to their progress!

I've been in the same boat - took my son to family therapy not understanding why he was having behavioral problems because he is such a sweet sensitive boy - yet he turned so angry and had social problems. Being off singulair changed that. Two years of therapy did nothing. I'm so happy to have found this site and that I was able to make a decision to take both kids off right away.
