Singulair and then i thought

My 13 year old daughter was diagonosed with asthma about 5-6 months ago. She was then prescribed singulair along with 250/50 Advair. Not even thinking about the meds being a problem my daughter has turned into a terror. The school has called a few times about behavior problems in school. Her grades are also dropping drastically. She has never had any kind of problems like this before. She is very angry, depressed,with many mood swings. I know that she is 13 but this is not normal. Her teacher reccommends she seek counseling as I agreed. Then I thought of this medication and wondered could this be the root of the problem? I called the doctor and he told me to take her off of singulair and see if I notice any difference in a week. It has only been 2 days so I guess we will see. This is really beginning to worry me. I want my daughter back.. If anyone has anything to share please email me at ****** Thanks, Cindi

My son just turned 5 years old. Singulair is the only medicine my son has been taking in these last few months. He had been off of it for about a year, until May 05 he started taking it again. His behavior became terrible. I did not put two and two together, that the medicine was doing this to him. Constantly in trouble in pre k. Bouncing off the walls, bad temper, head aches, a couple of nose bleeds, muscle leg and ankle cramps (which I thought were growing pains), not sleeping through the night, not LISTENING at all, hyper, sarcastic, rude and eating all the time. I have had him off singulair for a few days and he is getting back to the sweet little boy he use to be. I can't believe the change in personality. Thank you for this website and I hope other parents read this and take their children off singulair. I was thinking about taking him to a therapist because I just did not know what to do anymore. So the other night I was thinking what has happened to him to cause such a change. Then I thought I will do some research on Singulair and boom I could not believe he wasn't the problem, singulair was. I was at my wits end until I found this website and noticed similar patterns with other children. I feel awful I have been giving these terrible pills to my son. I cannot believe doctors are prescribing this to little children. How unfair. He has been in so much trouble lately being disciplined. He use to be on it a couple of years ago and was also bad and I asked the ped and he told me no behavior problems could be caused by singulair. So I just filed it in the back of my mind and choked it up to terrible two's. Well I say bull. My poor child went through hell. Help your little ones and do not let them take singulair.
