Please take the time to report to the FDA website for adverse event reporting.My son and others were not so lucky as yours , this drug is under investigation for suicidal thoughts and actions.When you see a change after reomoving him from the drug ,make a call to your doctor also because he is obligated to report the changes.This will help children in the future to not suffer the same fate of misdiagnosis of other diseases and stigmatizing illnesses from side effects.Please take the time to do this.

Glad you came to the sight,it really does open your eyes to this drug,unfortunatly we seem to be the ones as parents that have to speak out to the med community.Hang tough better days are coming,keep us updated as you are not alone,the road is long and hard ,as you will feel every emotion,anger,guilt releif,but you can make a difference and you have found a path of help.Good luck

I'm so glad you found this website--I feel it has saved our granddaughter's mental health and possibly her life. We never made the connection after 2 years of her being on this drug that should never,never be given to children or young people. The pharmaceutical companies do not research on the effects of these drugs especially for children. Now she is 12 and we will never give her any drug again that messes with brain chmistry, NEVER. We have become very informed now and we do our own research even on OTC drugs. Our children have been USED by the industry to make money. Thank God you are seeing the light and I hope and pray your son will recover from this nightmare. My granddaughter is doing well after being off of this since last April, now she's fun to be around and the extreme mood swings are gone. That's the truth. I have contacted and filed our story with the FDA Dr. Sarah Sellers and written letters to my congressman and to our US Senators. The FDA is supposed to complete its investigation on Singualir and its side effects in October. Stay tuned.
