i know what you mean,it is something only a mother knows,their crooked smile,a twinkle in their eyes,there is no doubt in my mind this med was poisen,pure and simple.These kids have been poisened and tortured and held captive in some dark place in their brain,Whoever is responsible for this travesty will not be living in the high rent district when they get to heaven.

Our stories are so much alike. I have a daughter 10/1/2 and attends a gifted school. My daughter has been on Singulair for 3 years and she has now been off of it for 2 weeks. We have seen a big difference also. Her problems escalated this year as well. I have heard several people comment that their children have been on it for a while and behavior has escalated over the past several months. I wonder if it is the age when their bodies are going through so many changes??? I do see some learned behaviors and undesirable coping skills she developed while on Singulair. We are going to have to work on that. At least the major side effects have subsided and hopefully it will only get better from here.

My son is 4 and has been on singulair since he was 1 1/2. I have hade major behavior problems and he even goes so far as hitting himself. I have had him evaluated through NYS early intervention and they suggested sending him to a neurologist to be evaluated for ADHD. He was evaluated and diagnosed and has been on resperidal now for two months! After reading all these posts it sounds the same. I have talked with his perdiatrician and he has encouraged me to keep him on medication. I am taking him off immediately

My daughter also was on singulair for about 3 years. She also would hit herself in the head, and say she hated herself.and wanted to die She is 8 yrs old it would be very upsetting because it was so random and there was never a reason for her to be so mad.She recently stopped taking singulair because of stomach pains. The Dr said it could be a side effect. I have noticed she is not as moody and never hits herself anymore.I am so angry I was never told of any suicidal thoughts being a side effect.
