My daughter had an appointment with a gastrointestinal doctor this morning because of her stomach problems. (She has been off of Singulair 10 days now and ALL symptoms- leg pains, abdominal pain, dizziness, sensitivity to light, severe mood swings, depression, anxiety, severe tantrums have all vanished) We kept the appointment with GI because our physician advised us to. He found it hard to believe that Singulair could be the cause of all of her symptoms. Well the GI also found it hard to believe that Singulair was the cause but said, "The proof is in the pudding." I have filed a complaint with the FDA on medwatch.com. It was very easy. I have also asked the doctor to file one as well. I also gave the doctor a printout of the studies done. Hopefully with more and more people filing complaints the FDA will act quickly. There is so much indisputable evidence regarding adverse reactions. It is unbelievable how many stories sound just alike. So many children have lost years of their life due to this drug. Parents have spent so much time and money trying to figure out what is "wrong" with their child. It is a shame so many have been incorrectly labeled all because of a drug they were taking!!

Would you please tell me if you printed out studies that I posted and which ones you found helpful if so? I keep searching for reports from physicians and scientists so that our physicians will be more inclined to believe that reports of these side effects do exist.

Your experience is just like mine.The Gastro.doctor said it was highly unlikely that singuliar was causing the pain.He prescribed prevacid for her symptoms.and said to get back to him in a week to see if the prevacid worked.She did improve,not because of the prevacid but because I followed my gut instinct and took her off the singuliar.All her other symptoms improved as well(which I didn't realize were side effects until I saw a new child appear).One without pain,anxiety and sleeping problems.It is a BLESSING to have our children back.She had been on it for years.I do have to mention the DR.was very receptive when I notified him.He said he would look at this site.Hopefully this will help the children ,who show up at his office ,on singuliar with stomach pain.
