An allergist prescribed Singulair for my son when he was starting first grade for asthma/allergy prevention. The side affects were immediate. He became very explosive, angry, panicky and paranoid. Worst of all, he developed severe nightmares. We would be awakened at about 11:30 when he started yelling. He was terrified and could not fully awaken to come out of the nightmare. He dreamed he was being chased by meat-eating dinosaurs. It took a while for him to explain because his speech skills were delayed. About a week into this, I decided to take him off Singulair and was relieved to find the symptoms completely disappeared. I would not recommend this drug for children. Their brains are still developing. It would be like giving them meth!
