Who administers this site? I posted a side effect last night after I registered and then this morning I got an email saying there was a reply to my posting and when I tried to log in, my account was inactive and my posting had been removed, as had the reply to my posting. I don't know if it is because I put a link the an online reporting tool where the FDA is compiling feedback from people/or their children who have experienced terrible side-effects. Here is the link again and I urge you all to report your cases: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/early_comm/montelukast.htm My son is 3.5 and has been on Singular for 2 months and just like all of the other stories about the other young children posted here, he is a different kid after being on Singular. Last night was the first night I took him off of it. All of the side-effects that are mentioned here are the same ones my son is experiencing, nightmares (screaming in the night), hyper, aggressive, reliving injuries from days past, the day care telling me that they now have concerns about how different he has been lately and the even used the term "bad behavior". They said he is hyper, he screams, not listening, aggressive. He is a favorite at day care since he is so loving, polite and kind. I know all parents say that, but pretty much anyone who has met him compliments me on how well behaved he is. I am even nervous to have people over since he seems out of control and I have found myself ensuring people that he isn't normally like this. I have taken him off as of last night and I am hoping he will get back to his old happy-go-lucky self soon. Does anyone know how long it can take to get this poison out of their system? I pray that there are no permanent side-effects.

I am so grateful I found this site, I felt so confused about my son's behavior, I felt like I was losging my mind. How long was your son on it?

One of my posts with the link for support group was removed also. Don't know why because I had even asked permission before posting it. Be patient is my advice, give him time to recover! Come join us at the support group for members here and keep us posted at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Singulair_side_effects_friends/

Have you had any luck? My son was just diagnosed with allergies on Tuesday- we started him on Zyrtec on Tues night and we are seeing the same behaviors as you mentioned above. Singulair is another that we are supposed to introduce when we visit a family that has dogs in the home. Not sure that I care to keep him on any of these medications from what I am seeing. He turned 3 the end of June.
