This is just amazing to me. My son was prescribed singulair for asthma when he was 8, he is 19 now. I only kept my son on this medication for about 4 weeks. I noticed a HUGE change in his personality, defiant and very fired up. I took him off, because there was just no talking to him. It made a difference, he was back to normal. I said something to his doctor, and he didn't know what to think, he said that the drug shouldn't alter his personality, it's an asthma medicine. I'm glad i listened to my gut instinct and took him off. My doctor just prescribed singulair to me for severe allergies and i wanted to see what the side effects where. I had NO idea i would see the side effect, that i knew my son was having 10 years ago, when this medicine first came out. I am speechless...

I would love to post your son's story on our new website: www.parentsforsafety.org. We are an advocacy group of parents whose children experienced adverse reactions to Singulair and we are working to promote awareness of adverse reactions to this medication. We are also posting recovery stories. Recovery from an adverse reaction to Singulair has not been studied and we are trying to provide as much information to parents as we can accumulate!

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.
