My son is almost 6 yrs old. He has been taking Singular for appro...

Gee, he did not happen to see a bad, ugly spider in the morning, did he? That was the answer I got when I asked my 4 year old's pediatrician, "what could be so bad in a toddler's life to have such night terrors"? In her defense she, along with my pharmacist, are still in the dark about the growing number of consistent side effects as well as those that have been added to the Merck website in previous months.

We can all sit back and wait to see how long it takes for the FDA and Merck to "find a way to get this information to doctors and patients", as listed in February on the FDA site.

My daughter has been off Singulair for 3 weeks. She too cried, screamed and demolished her bed linens most nights for over year, lasting for 30 seconds to a minute. Thankfully they seem to be coming to an end the last 4 days. She did sleep through the ordeal each time but since off Singulair she did wake when she had them.

Meltdowns - almost completely gone, and not daily, hourly, like they were. Now she is easy to turn around and let it go. She has smiled, hugged and laughed more in the last 3 weeks than in the previous 1 1/2 years combined.

Good luck and let us know how things go.

My son is 6 ans also allergic to mold/dust mite and some sensitivity to foods. He was on same combo. It was when I stopped both singulair and nasonex I saw the most dramatic improvement. He has been off apprx 6 weeks. He is now only using the claritin and sudafed when absolutely needed. Things are so much better but he still has his ups and downs but the difference is he gets over it in a normal time frame compared to before.

Good luck and hope you have happy days coming your way!

I just pulled my son off the flonase too as of yesterday b/c I am concerned it is also still causing his behavior/mood/aggression probs
He is currently on No allergy meds I have reason to believe that ALL allergy meds affect my son he has been on zyrtec, claritin, singulair & flonase
I just recently found out that flonase & flovent are the SAME med & mood probs are listen on flovent but not Flonase NOT FAIR!!!!
