My 54-year-old fit, social, successful husband was put on Singula...

So glad you found this site,yes the effects are subtle,yes we have seen an improvment in our children since taking them off,and yet the doctors still have tunnel vision, what will it take.This drug is under investigation for suicide and yet a few postings up we see a major peds hospital prescribe it for a one yr old.How in gods name does a one yr old tell you they are suicidle.I have never felt so frustrated and helpless in my life.The kids that were on it long term and are now off show an improvement of 80% or more ,then why is nobody concerned about the remaining effects,my doc wouldnt even ask my son what was different in his thinking.I could just scream,It took all i had in me not to cause a confrontation,but my son was with me so i chose not to but just look for a different doc

Many researchers believed that Vioxx was changed by ionization caused by physiological events. The structure of montelukast would be sensitive to change in physiological pH to the acid side of the equation. The fact that many complain of adverse neuro-psychiatric side effects meants that something is happening that causes neuro-toxins.

Do you know how it might be possible to alert the psychiatric community about Singulair? I told my son's psychiatrist that I was quite sure Singulair explained most of his symptoms. At first he seemed curious to learn this, but a week or so later when I asked him to send his records to our pediatrician (so she could report to the FDA) he told me my theory was "controversial." I think it would be great for someone with your (and your husband's) background to help spread the word. I hope your husband is doing well. Good luck!

Thank you for your post. My daughter saw a psychiatrist who was clueless when I told her about the FDA investigation in late March. On the other hand, her allergist knew it and said it my daughter was not the only one so severely impacted.
I want her year back in life, the first year of college, gone. She is so upset by failing and now I have to build her self-esteem back. On the bright side, she has only been off for 6 days, and she is singing, laughing, and happy already! It is amazing, esp. since I told her it would take a few months, this is real! I had extra guilt, not only am I a nurse, I am a certified clinical research coordinator. I know I am very careful and might have noted this. Too many PI's are hiring people to work on their studies without any medical background. I hope your husband is back out there to help us get the word out with you. Thank you again.
