You've made the right decision. Please report this to your Dr. and the both of you need to report to the FDA. The FDA will have no choice but to open an investigation about the effects of Singulair on children. All they need to do is read these posts. Read Kate's email from this morning whose son killed himself after 17days on this drug. She is headed to Washington to speak to the FDA with all of our testimoinies! Keep us posted!

I can't beleive this drug is still on the market. I too have a 7 and 5 year old they have been on Singlar over a year now. They have all of these symptoms. My little one has begun saying she dosen't think I love her and she dosen't want to live anymore. I thought was really bizarre since we are a pretty good low drama family. Where would she even here that type of thing? She has spent a good deal of her time on the carpet crawling and crying for no reason. So hard. Anyway, I think we should all stick together on this and do something about it.....laura worrell

My daughter is 9 and has been on Singulair for almost 5 yrs. In the past two yrs we have been to the doc for severe stomach pains and cramps and only been told she is constipated. Not sure if this is the real diagnosis or not. In conjunction she has stopped wanting to go to school, is really irritable and once was loving and attentive to her younger sisters. She also has bad dreams and has trouble falling asleep at night. Her mood swings are unpredictable. This is all coming from a normally compassionate and well controlled child. She has always been a joy and very responsible and genuine. In the past her father and I related her changes to pre-adolescent behavior, or annoyance due to her sisters grwowing older and getting into her things more often, or even the fact that school is getting a little more difficult. How to tell if this is the effect of taking a medicine that controls her asthma wonderfully. She used to have chronic night cough, circles under her eyes from coughing all night, and took neubulizer treatments bid, inhalers, flonase, and raniditine to control her frequent asthma problems. ALSO-she was hospitalized with pneumonia...so scary. I want to avoid that, and wonder if she has out grown some of that drama. NOW I am worried about her mental health. I don't want her to feel sad for "no reason" as she calls it and have crying spells over the littlest things...I feel terrible for being her parent and not being alble to "fix" this. Should she continue on Singulair with hopes this is all realted to pre-adolesence. Our life is very low key, my children are cared for by my husband and I and they are well loved. Just wondering if anyone else has an experiance like this one. After reading other peoples stories I plan on making an appointment with our specialist, but have a feeling it will be written off as usual...my husband is an NP and is not as concerned as I am. Am I over acting?
