Hi Everyone,
WBZTV out of Boston interviewed my family this evening about our singulair experience. They seemed very interested in this story as it relates to how families and individuals have been affected by singulair and will be airing it soon....don't know the exact date yet. My son was able to say on camera that it made him feel "crazy" inside when he was taking singulair and that he feels "much better" since he stopped taking it. We told them we feel lucky to have gotten through our experience but there are so many others who have suffered and are currently suffering very badly as a result of the side effects of singulair.
I think the FDA and Merck now need to stand up and start taking some accountability for a drug that is admittedly "over prescribed". Doctors should be divulging the potential side effects of ALL drugs BEFORE prescribing it so the patient can be fully aware. I mean c'mon the warnings are on page 28 of a 33 page patient information pamphlet. Don't you think it should be on page 1? OK, maybe page 2.
They need to black box this drug. People have lost their lives to it and doctor's need to take their fingers out of their ears!

I'm going to be interviewed about my family's horrific experience with Singulair on Monday by a CBS news affiliate out of Boston. I am going to try and blow the lid off this story and will hopefully be posting my interview on youtube. This has gotten so ridiculous with the ALA "study" ....and I never wanted to go there....but it almost to the point of conspiracy. These people are just downright creepy!!!!!!!!!!

Please be sure to read the article and contact or email the following individual: Heather Grzelka

I have invited her to review the Medications.com site and contact any parent to discuss the negative side effects that their children have suffered. The word needs to get out about the living nightmare that some families have endured all due to the pediatricians that are not aware of the adverse reactions to Singulair and continue to prescribe this drug.

AMA wants drug ads restricted. Go AMA. Make the drug companies spend the $5.4 billion on real research like how to treat cancer.
