Hi - I'm glad to hear that your son is doing much better. My son started singluair in 4th grade and ended up in serious psychological trouble by 9th grade. No one ever made the connection to the singulair and he saw several different doctors about his depression, anxiety etc. I'm no doctor, but I think you should still be watching your son very carefully because of the allegra. My son also took allegra and so did I. I stopped it back when my son stopped his Singulair and have noticed a marked improvement in my own mood. On his own, my son decided to stop taking Allegra too. It is amazing how much his mood has improved -- primarily I'm sure because of the singulair, but removing the Allegra has also helped. The fact that he's 17 has made this more possible because his lungs and body are more mature. I remember horrible bouts of bronchitus and breathing problems when he was a young child -- which is why he ended up on this stuff to begin with. You might want to look in to alternatives to the Allegra. I'm carefully trying Zyrtec and steroid nose spray now that my allergies are kicking up again. When I talked to his current therapist about the singulair (he's back home now after being at a therapy boarding school) she thought that based on his history, we have to be particularly careful with ANY kinds of meds relating to breathing since a lot of them have similar side effects. I lost many years with my son because of these drugs and I hope by sharing that you won't have the same loss with your own son. Good Luck.
