My 5 year old son was taking Singulair for about 2 years when I came upon this site. I immediately called his allergist and got no answers, so I decided to take him off of it. Within 24 hours I noticed a big difference. He use to not sleep. He would be up all night. he uncontrollable outbursts at school, and home stopped. He is now the sweet boy I remember. I really think he was over medicated. He takes Zyrtec in th morning and was taking Singulair at night. I am appalled at the fact that doctors are over medicating our children. Thank you for this site. I now can love and hug my child agan.

My 8 year old son was just put on the same regimen of Zyrtec in the morning and Singulair at night. It has been one week and I have not noticed any side effects. In fact he is sleeping better than before. However I am concerned because of all that I have been reading and hearing and I feel for you and your son. Can you tell me when your son showed these symptoms? My next step will be to call his doctor. I don't want my son to have to have any bad experiences before I stop the medication. Thank you for sharing your experience with these meds.
