Please read my post from a few days ago. My Son was diagnosed with ADHD in 2001. After getting his records from his Dr. The first prescription for singulair was written a few months prior. I had no idea that there could be a corrolation between this drug and his behavior.I think this medication has long term if not permanent side effects for children. They went away briefly after discontinuing the medication but came back full force when he hit puberty. I had a reply to my post from concerened citizen who says that it is because of the mix of amino acids and hormones. I wonder how many parents have "ADHD" or "BIPOLER" children who were taking this medication. How many were diagnosed AFTER starting it????Good luck.
I wasn't implying that hormones such as testosterone derive from amino acids because that would not be correct. Testosterone is made from cholesterol. What I was going to add is that puberty changes nutritional demands especially for males who need protein for muscle development. Males also burn up a lot of calories around that time. Ask anybody who has to feed teenage boys.
IF (and we don't have proof) Singulair has caused some permanent damage to neurons, it would be really important that we don't allow the brain to experience excessive glutamate levels such as what happens when deprived of glucose. So it's very important to get plenty of the right nutrition and frequently if needed because hypoglycemia would be damaging. There is some research which indicates that damaged neurons do not respond to GABA properly. GABA reverses the effects of glutamate so if the neurons do not respond as well to GABA as they should then it would be especially important not to allow glutamate to build up.
