Singulair and lips

Just took my 6 year old off Singulair after he began blinking incessantly... very frightening. After a couple of weeks on Singulair, I received a note home from his teacher that he was blinking all day at school. Sure enough, when he got home the blinking continued... non-stop for several days! Fortunately, I was able to find information relating this behavior to Singulair. After a few days off the medication, the blinking stopped and has not returned.

My Daughter is 15 she was put on singulair 2 years ago. She started having severe stomach pains. The doctor started her on pepcid ac. It never got better, just worse. A year later the stomach pain was so bad she was hospitalized. They couldn't find anything wrong. She had several c.t's and ultrasounds of the upper right abdominal area several times showing nothing.Then she got worse she was experiencing 51 side effects from the singulair she was in the e.r every week including Children's memorial in Chicago. Her eyes and lips swell till they bleed and crack along with the stomach pain and low grade fever for 2 weeks at a time. She would be literally in the fetal position telling the doctors she was in pain and they couldn't find anything wrong. So they would send her home. She began talking about suicide and we have her seeing a psychologist who kept saying nothing was wrong with her because the tests don't show anything. Our doctor bills exceed 40, 000 dollars from last year just ur portion. Never once did any of those doctors say maybe its the singulair. They keep changing and adding new meds and still couldn't figure it out. We had to get a tutor and have now got her on state disability an I.e.p for education because she swells everyday. Her skin peals off her face after the swelling goes down. She wont even go out in public. I mentioned it to the pharmacy and they said oh my god stop taking it. They asked why didn't our doctor take her off along time ago. The doctor still wont say that it is due to the singulair. Now the suicidal effect is coming forth for the f.d.a. I want every parent to know not to let their child take this drug! Please ! L.S in L.I.T.H., Il

I have a 19 month old baby and she was prescribed Singulair when she was 15 months old after a bad bout of pneumonia. So she has been on it for 4 months and I haven't seen any severe side effects. To be honest, I am one of those people that follows whatever her pediatrician recommends and I trust that after 25 years as a doctor, he knows what he is doing. But all of these reports are now terrifying me. I haven't noticed any change in her behavior or moods, and she has always been a very rambunctious baby so if there has been any change (like increased aggression or anxiety) it is hard to tell in such a small child. Has anyone had any experience giving Singulair to a child this young (under 2)?

Has anyone noticed facial twitching, particularly of the mouth and lips? It seems to go away when I forget to take my daily dose of Singulair, and only came about after taking the drug regularly for a couple weeks.

Thanks!

Within four days of taking Singulair I started to have vivid dreams, anxiety, shakiness and weakness in the morning, and a feeling of "medicine head". It initially helped my asthma/breathing but after three days was using Combivent on the same schedule as before. My mouth got so dry at day three I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was going to have to pry my lips open with a fork! I have since stopped taking it as feeling nauseous and shaky all the time is not for me......

Dark discolouration in the side of lips with lip dryness and bleeding from the corner of mouth.
