My 9 year old son was on Singulair for about 4 weeks. His whole personality changed. He cried all the time, he would not sleep alone, he had headaches, dizziness, tummy aches and horrible nightmares. His whole bodyy broke out in a rash and even now after 2 months of taking him off he is still covered in a rash. He was so sad all the time and so irritated. He would yell at us and was so angry all the time. He still is not back to himself. I see where people say their kids are back to their old selfs. I know my son is better but he still is having a hard time focusing in school and crys easily. He seems as though he is not the same child. I wonder if these side effects can cause permanent damage in some way. This is all so scarey. Drs. need to talk and help these children, NOW

Hi, the changes do take time. My son took Singulair for over 3 years, he has been off Singulair for 17 days and he is still not his old self, but I can see improvements and definite changes. I guess we all are waiting to see if there are longterm side effects. Good luck to you and all of us.
