http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779 I like to live my life with facts, not speculation and drama. My child is on Singulair and doing fantastic. I remember the trips to the ER when I did not know if my child would live or die. Of course when I saw this report, it caused me some concern so I di Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:13:51 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6217 this whole news release is not news to me...i have been aware of the side effects since march 2007. singulair had devastating side effects on my 7 year old son....way before any media influence. i notified merck and the fda in hopes they would make paren http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6217 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:13:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6220 Repulsed, yes. I had just written this long reply, and when I went to post I had to login and lost it. I'm so frustrated now by some peoples lack of compassion and one mindedness. So you're saying that we all here, are making up stories? Yes, that's wha http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6220 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:36:10 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6222 If you were in a dark alley with the angry parents of all the children who have suffered from this drug I guarantee you would take back everything you just said. Do you think we're not real? I mean seriously. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6222 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:39:38 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6223 These people are real and I hope for your sake your child does not start to experience the side effects that so many have. The drug might work fine for you but it does not nullfy the REAL experiences people are having from this drug. We know our children http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6223 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:42:01 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6224 I just read through your entire post again. I think you're sick!!! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6224 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:04:47 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6231 I totally agree with you Chris. These people are hypochondriacs. I wonder if they ever sued Bayer for making aspirin. Maybe some day they will get sick and need a drug company's medication that will cure them. They will change their tune then. I think Matt http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6231 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:53:51 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6245 yep you guessed it...all 1000+ of us are hypochondriacs. our children are hypochondriacs too! they faked all their side effects so they could be miserable in life, cause that is what most children do. if you work for merck, better freshen up that resume, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6245 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:27:18 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6248 I can't imagine the FDA getting involved because of only *one* suicide (though the loss of even one life is terrible). The FDA usually turns a blind eye to what pharmaceutical companies do unless there have been enough complaints or enough evidence to con http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6248 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:40:30 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6253 To artie81: Do you really think small children can have hypochondria? LOL Give me a break. You can leave this board anytime now. :-) By the way...I'm NOT opposed to medications that have benefits but when I see my 5 yr. old son tell me over and ov http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6253 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:57:27 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6259 I believe you believe in what you are saying and I believe in what I have expereinced with my daughter. In fact, I will argue that Singulair did an excellent job controlling her asthma. It helped her tremendously and she has been taking it since 2003.

However, I assure you our story and others are real. I so wish they weren't. I wish that my granddaughter had never had to go through what she's been through.

He had a name and a life just like the others.Our son had no mental health problems ,was well adjusted and from a completely stable loving family.Friends and teachers were not interviewed on televi http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6471 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:50:38 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/28779?item=6674 I am wondering if you have a clue as to what most of the people posting here have been through and I am also wondering if you care?
