I was searching for a site with the side effects of Singulair for...

Some people do report weight gain (especially see earliest entries), but that seems to be the least of his problems with the drug!! I'd be concerned about depression and ghosts. . .

Yes ,we had weight gain,and a feeling of never being full,always hungry.has lost 15lbs in 6 months ang grown 4 inches not being on singulair.i am sure Merck would call it a growth spurt,but i call it not being on singulair

I HAD TWO CHILDREN ON SINGULAR AND THEY BOTH HAVE SCAREY NIGHTMARES. MY SEVEN YEAR OLD HAD HIS DOSE INCREASED TO TEM MGS AND I HAVE ALWAYS VBEEN AFRAID TO KEEP GIVING IT TO HIM. SINCE THEN I HAVE FOUND A NEW ALLERGIST AND OUR SEVEN YEAR OLD WHO SUFFERS FROM ALOT OF ALLERGIES AND DUST MITE ALLERGUINS AND EZCAME WAS TAKEN OFF SINGULAR. MY FOUR YEAR OLD IS STILL ON SINGULAR HOWEVER AND IT HAS TO BE A NIGHTIME REGIEM I WAS TOLD. I HAD BEEN GIVING IT IN THE MORNING FROM THEIR PREVIOUS ALLERGIST. I WANT TO KNOW IF THE SCARY DREAMS ARE A PART OF SINGULAR AS A CONCERNED MOTHER. I ALSO HAVE WEIGHT ISSUES WITH MY CHILDREN NOT KNOWING IF ITS MEDICATION OR THE KIDS WANTING TO SNACK ALL THE TIME. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY EMAIL IF THERE ARE ANY THOUGHTS OR ANSWERS FOR ME. MY FOUR YEAR OLD IS ON A LOWER DOSE NOW. IT WAS FIVE MG, I THOUGHT BECAUSE OF HIS WEIGHT. SINCE THEN THE NEW DOCTER HAS HIM ON FOUR MG AT NIGHT, AND I AM STILL AFRAID. THANK YOU. MY EMAIL IS Kmary101@aol.com

i was put on singular trail run after a few days i started feeling really wierd and i already have epilpesy and low vison anyways i started getting nightmares and seeing people from my past with intense flash back witch casue me to puke then faint. i had no idea it was from this the dr. said there was very little to no side effect it saide in one article that it can cause sizures it could have made my seziures worse, he totally geting a word or to when i see him next that's fo sure!

my niece took singular and experienced weight gain. My sister said she always looked "puffy". She took her off the medication and the puffiness is gone. My son takes singular in the fall season. He just started taking it again in August. I am starting to notice a change in his demeanor. He also says he is having nightmares. I am considering taking him off it also.

I just started research after speculation for over year. The drs. have said their is no weigh gain side effect. My son is almost 11 and on it for 2.5 yrs. He has that face puffiness and weight gain. It is a self esteem problem now with other kids, he gets teased. He's not fat, but chunky now. He too is an active athletic boy, and hates not being to run fast now. We have just thought is was his diet, but we monitor it and it is a great diet for kids he has. I am thinking about taking it off of it now. His Asthma is mild too.

I guess I should talk to his Dr.. I think it okay to just stop cold turkey, but I am not sure. He is moody and acts like a hormonal middle schooler and he is only 10!

My son is 10 too, almost 11. He is athletic and like to be outside, not a gamer much. His weight has become a problem in the last 2 yrs. I have asked the Dr. about Singulair and weight and they always, deny the side effects. So now I am finally researching and finding all this stuff! Ugh! He gets teased at school and hates being over weight. He really is not big, just husky. It is a self esteem problem now. He has the puffy face, he never had before when I look at old pictures. He too thinks there is a ghost under his bed and sleeps with covers over his head ever night. Wow, I feel terrible. Can we just go cold turkey with Singulair? His asthma is mild and only bad when he has a cold.

Help!
