I post under 58peppy if you want to go back and read my posts. The OCD did go away. She is sleeping better and pretty much back to her self. She took singulair for about 5 years and we all went through hell. Many visits to the hospital for anxiety attacks, cutting her self with razzors, to psycharists for powerful mind meds (all unneccessary). She has learned behaviors from the darkness that will probably not go away. Thank god you figured it out quickly. Sue
these children have been traumatized,they have had hallucinations that they believe to be real,they have been scared out of their wits,it takes time to regain your perspectives.The OCD for us was the longest issue to recover from,7 months off now much much much better but still not 100% but i have no doubt we will get there,my son was on it for almost 4 years
It will take time, but the OCD should begin to get better. If not you may want to see a mental health professional, but give it time. Did you file a report with the FDA and Merck? Insist that your physician do the same. You can find a link and sign a petition at www. Parentsforsafety.org
HANG IN THERE. I AM IN THE SAME SPOT YOU ARE. WE ARE 12 DAYS OFF SINGULAIR. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON IS STILL HAVING EPISODES AND ALOT OF ANXIETY. I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER SOON. IT JUST TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE.
TAKE CARE
My son was on singulair for 5 years. His anxiety became disabling and we took him to therapy once a week for 5 months. Luckily I switched asthma doctors at that time and he was taken off singulair not because of his anxiety but because they thought it was no longer effective. Slowly his anxiety subsided. I can't remember exactly how long it took but my husband thinks it was about a month. I know his anxiety was from singulair. I think a good mental health professional could help with the transition. It helped with us. Hang in there and good luck! Please file a report with FDA and Merck!
