I have no idea what most of you are saying. My son has cronic severe asthma and there have been times where he has been close to dying. He is 8 yrs old and been through a lot more than most people have been their entire lives. He has been on singulair for about 6 or 7 yrs now and he hasn't any problems with side effects that any of you are talking about. Before he was put on singulair controlling his asthma was almost impossible. For the parents who have not given ao have just stop giving their children their medication just like that. You should talk to you doctors because I know first hand how dangerous asthma can be. If any parent has ever had to rush their child to the ER and then you child was put into the icu for weeks at a time. You will think you lucky stars there is a medicine like singulair out there. Thank You for letting me share my story.

You are fortunate you haven't experienced any side effects. Singulair has been proven to be only modestly effective as compared to inhaled corticosteriods and has never been considered a "front line" asthma drug for severe asthma.

It is all about the risks outweighing the benefits. I have noticed that most posters have "mild" or "moderate" asthma, in which case the risks would of going off the meds are NOT HIGH if they suspect behavior issues.

Most people that find this page probably have a PROBLEM they are seeking resolution to.. most people who are happy with their meds are probably not finding this page, do you know whatI mean?

You are lucky you have not had behavior issues. God bless you and your child, and keep him on that singulair!!
