It has been interesting for me to read this posts. I have been wondering about the long term side affects to singulair- mostly because my 11 year old has been on Singulair for several years now. We spent many of nights in the ER for asthma when he was little and no Dr. did testing. When he was 5 his pediatrician tested him for allergies and put him on Singulair. We have had a great experience with it. I find it interesting that many of the health issues on here- joint pains, bouts of depression, weight gain...I personally experience all of them and i am not on any medication. My 11 year old does not experience any of the mentioned side affects. I wanted to find out long term side affects for my own personal knowledge. Prior to Singulair, he was on Zyrtec which was not a good fit.

Every person is different in respect to adverse reactions to drugs,but if you educate yourself on the side effects of Singulair ,you will see that for some people the Neuropsychiatric side effects have been swift and deadly. Please be careful with this drug as your childs dose is increased,this child is one of the lucky ones ,but sometimes life can change on a dime.BE AWARE!!!!!!!
