My son is 7 yrs old with allergies and asthma. The Dr. prescribed it and the same day I had talked with a lady which her friends son just committed suicide. They were contributing it to Singular. A quick look up on the internet and I was angry with the pediatrician that the side effect was never discussed with me! After a very reassured conversation I said I would start him with 1/2 dose. I noticed nightmares started right away and I stopped. Asthma got worse decided to star again 3 weeks ago. He started twitching his head, flipping his hair that isn't even long. He was also complaining of stomach aches and not wanting to go to school (very unusual)! He has been off for a week now and is hopefully will not ever have any long term effect! Please follow your instincts and I will let his doctor. know what the side effects were.

Good that you stopped taking this drug for your son right away. Unfortunately, most drs. continue to push drugs, since that's all they know . . . even to children. They are aware about the side effects, but, they are too busy to really help patients. . . there are many natural products/alternatives for health issues . . instead of taking drugs and giving $$ for drs. and the drug co's.

It is important that both you and your doctor report this to the FDA.If you visit www.parentsforsafety.org you will find the links and more info.There are many many of us trying to make the side effects of this drug known. Good luck to you
