http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089 I am 34 years old. I am a pharmacy tech. I have asthma and allergies. I have taken singulair pretty much every day since it came out on the market. I've had asthma since i was about 10 years old. I took theophylline as a kid.

But why would I give my child something reported to cause psychiatric disorders to clear up a runny nose? I might give it to my child for asthma if it was the best medication on the market - but it's not! It is not the scienti http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16083 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:00:53 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16084 This is a board to report side effects....not a board to make insinuations. Why are you here? Look into the eyes of the children and adults that this drug has caused immeasurable pain and I'm sure you'd change your tune. There is no doubt that this drug http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16084 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:39:35 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16086 In addition....none of the parents whos children suffered horribly from Singulair want money like the "hot mcdonalds coffee" person.......they simply want public awareness. Very big difference. I hope you can digest that. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16086 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:10:28 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16088 I am with you about the "McDonalds Society" on this blog website. As I have been reading posts for close to a year now, I have come to the conclusion in some cases the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Not all of the worlds evils can be blamed on pharmaceutical companies. You mention these companies have not cared about saving lives, yet look at the reduction in mortality from http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16092 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:03:44 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16093 Hi Matt, did you miss me? As for our lively discussions, I am more that happy to keep them right here. Healthy debate is good for everyone. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16093 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:48:53 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16094 What I said was that there maybe another cause for your child's depression. I don't discount any pain that any child has suffered through medication use. But at the same time, I would not want a child to suffer because a parent got caught up in the side ef http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16094 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:08:31 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16095 no chris555, if i stepped on a rusty nail, i would have a tetanus shot. however, i would not take a tetanus pill for life. my 85 yr old father has been on various asthma medications since he was 40 and he recently, after reading some books, took himself http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16095 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 03:07:29 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16100 Even if, after exhaustive scientific investigation, the mechanism by which Singulair causes side effects is identified and permanent damage from an adverse reaction to Singulair is conclusively ruled out, Singulair will continue to pose a danger to childre http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16100 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 09:36:25 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16107 Dear Vabenavidez - I spent years trying to find the "underlying cause" to my son's severe anxiety and depression. I questioned every experience he had been through, I questioned our parenting, I questioned our genetic history. It took me a long time http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16107 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:15:51 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16108 Science has NOT conclusively ruled out a link between SIngulair and neuropsychiatric problems. In fact, science DID reveal a link between Singulair and depression.

If people did not go to the doctor and demand a pill to provide a quick fix their problem then the doctors would not giv http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16132 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:29:36 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16133 MS76, I know that the reason people are talking about Singulair on this site is because it is a Singulair site. What I was referring to in my previous post was the internet web site that was set up. I cannot remember the name of it off the top of my head, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16133 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:13:47 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16138 Hello Chris, I started Parents United for Pharmaceutical Safety and Accountability after I discovered that Singulair was the cause of 5 1/2 years of misery for my son and my family and I wanted to spread awareness so that no other family had to experien http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16138 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 23:27:59 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16139 wow chris555, i just reread my two posts here and i said nothing, nothing at all that would indicate that i felt that "there is equal responsibility and accountability on the part of the doctors and the consumers?

I was stationed in the Philippines for 2 years. I was in from 1987-95. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, asthma, sinus problems, chronic bronchitis, DDD, Chronic Muscle spasms in my neck that never go away http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16321 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 22:02:20 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16379 chris is an employee of Merck. This is standard for these companies to pay their minions to come on these sites and try and negate the truth. I work in the health field and talk to drug reps every day.

Being a pharmacy tech, you should also know that an adults mind, body, and hormones are very different from that of a child that is still in the growth s http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=16791 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:36:39 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=20402 Finally, someone w/ common sense. All meds have side effects. Not everyone experiences all, some, or even 1. The people that do, do so in varying intensities. I appreciate reading all the information, but some people have gone overboard w/ accusations. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38089?item=20402
