OH MY GOODNESS. Not that I am proficient in the medical field, I would, however, advise your Medical Doctor that you are doing this. Hopefully, he can suggest or prescribe another drug. I do know that it takes over 72 hours, for this medication to work its way out of the body. PLEASE, talk with your MD before doing this. Best of luck to you and the children.

I know exactly how you feel.I have never written on a blog before either.My 2 girls were on this for 4-5 years.My girls had numerous side effects also.I had stated them on this site.Thank god you found this site.The ALARMING thing is so many people are still on singuliar and they are clueless as to the many horrific side effects it causes.Please spread the word.You will see positive changes in your children as I did.Keep the faith.

Be prepared to witness a miracle,you will be amazed at what is about to take place,then your going to be horrified and angry,but you are not alone keep us updated good luck

Please keep us posted! My son has been off of it for almost 3 weeks, we have had remarkable improvement at home. It is like he came out of a fog and matured 1-2 yrs in 3 weeks.. He always acted younger than his age. Since the fog has been lifted he can now be reasoned with and talked out of tantrums before they happen. We are putting off the adhd evaluation for a little while to give him time to adjust to the new him and thinking clearer. Come join us at

and keep us posted! We visited my sons Dr and she supported us in our decision and wants to monitor him for positive changes, She may reccomend to some of her other patients who are dealing with similar situation of our experience.

You are not alone! My 8 year old daughter has now been off singulair for 17 days. For the first time in 2 years, I have my daughter back. Within 3 days of being off the Singulair her appetite returned. She started smiling and laughing again. She hasn't had a single "melt-down" since being off the medicine (which before was a daily occurance). I honestly feel like this web site has been an answer to prayers. Two days before learning about this site, my pediatrician recommended that my daughter see a psychiatrist. For the past two years, she has experienced most of the side-effects reported by other parents, especially stomach pain, anxiety and depression. Before singulair she was a happy, loving, and well adjusted little girl. I never suspected singulair. Instead we visited two different pediatric GI doctors and an orthopedic surgeon ( because of the leg pain she was experiencing). I just sat and cried when I read what so many other children and parents have experienced. It was our life. Please take some time to contact the FDA to report your experience. It makes me so sad to think how many families are still suffering. Best of luck to you and your family.
