http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435 Follow up to my post earlier today... I took the my son to the doctor this morning and he was somewhat dismissive of the recent reports on Singulair...says he's had a lot of kids on the drug and never heard a peep about side effects until last week when Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:47:35 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6974 Doctors like this need to be fired,your mom instinct is the best.we know are kids http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6974 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:07:15 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6975 I am not surprised to hear that. All of the reports that I found were from other countries. In other countries, hospitals, doctors and pharmacies report adverse drug reactions to the government agency. There is a communication break down some where. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6975 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:21:46 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6976 It really stinks when doctors and other so-called "professionals" make us feel small about things that we have given closer consideration than they have! I had multiple conversations over a period of years with our pediatrician and allergist and was made http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6976 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:52:56 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6978 This story is interesting. In Europe, if a patient has a complaint, the doctor gets out a form and fills it out. If all US doctors have to hear from somebody else that they should file an ADR, then no wonder we have problems in this country. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6978 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:02:58 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6982 our first pediatrician had a similar response. i ended up switching peds primarily because of my experience with singulair and their dismissive reaction when i told them my concern. it's not easy to change doctors in this town, either--they have this unwri http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6982 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:22:03 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6984 My daughter's pediatrician and GI doctor both were reluctant to believe Singulair could cause that many side effects. They make you feel like you are crazy. It is hard to believe parents have more knowledge than our own doctors! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6984 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:22:46 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6985 I have an appointment with my doctor next week. Sometimes I get nervous because I think what happened to you will happen to me. But then I remember - I'm reporting to them -not asking them if they agree with me. Think about it - a doctor who says "I hav http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6985 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:49:11 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6996 I have no idea what is going on. Why do people have to ask medical questions on the internet? I read a post yesterday about having a severe drug reaction that required Solu-Medrol. The person asked us if it was okay to continue his drug therapy. Hello, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=6996 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:35:54 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=7001 My 8 year old daughter was put on Singulair 2 years ago. She suffered from the majority of side effects listed by so many other parents. In the course of two years we've been to an allergist, 2 pediatric GI doctors and an orthopedist ( because of severe l http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=7001 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:21:15 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=7053 You are not alone. Our pulmonologist was dismissive as well. Go with your gut feeling and if you have to change doctors. My daughter was having suicidal thoughts and has been in counseling for a while. I took her off singulair 10 days ago and see a defi http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29435?item=7053
