Of course it is not worth the risk! Sounds like she is on a downward spiral and Singulair could be a HUGE factor. Get her off the Singulair and find doctors who support this choice! Good luck to you.
get her off this right now!
These symptoms are exactly what many people experienced from Singulair. Go to www.parentsforsafety.org and you can find out more information. Please report the side effects to the FDA. They are now focusing on these types of side effects, and your report will make a huge difference. My son developed severe anxiety and had very similar behavior while on Singulair (but he was only 5). He suffered needlessly for years. I am working very hard to spread the word so that others do not have to suffer. Your report to the FDA will help. Please stop the medication today. Call your doctor for a backup plan in case the asthma flares up. You should keep up the therapy because it will take a while for her to recover. But please be patient with her. She may have to retrain her brain to deal with frustration - but it will be easier as time goes on. Our family lived through two years of hell trying to figure out what was going on with my son. But within days after stopping the medication, we knew he was on his way back. He has been off for two years this month, and he is like a whole different boy - happy, normal, enjoying life - simple qualities that two years ago I had almost given up thinking we would ever see in him again. Good luck.
