My daughter has been off Singulair since March 29th. In my previous posting I explained that she had taken it for 2 years and last December started to experience stomach pain, and she became very anxious, agitated, and obsessive compulsive. We had every test possible and her anxiety only grew worse as the weeks went on. In February she was admitted for panic attacks and was given Paxil and Risperdal. When we stopped Singulair we noticed definite changes with her mood swings, personality, and affection. We saw a side of her that over time we forgot existed. She is so much better, but still on the medicines from her hospitalization. We have an appointment to discuss reducing these meds. But has SINGULAIR been out of her system long enough? She endured so much emotional stress that I know just stopping the Singulair will not be the cure all. Any input from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck to you,i to took my 15 yr old son off singulair 6 weeks ago,we had anxiety and depression on singulair,i had stopped all his other drugs months before as they were not working, and we were doing bio feed back ,of course this wasnt working either,i can tell you that since being off singulair,things are back to normal,but i do still see the bio feed back doc,as we have missed 3.5 yrs of reg devolpment at such an important age.I have to learn how to parent a child who has not been here for years,he dosnt need me the way he needed me 6 weeks ago,its different now,but much much better,i dont want to push him to fast but i dont know his limits yet.good good luck hang in there
