 2  allergy/sinus nightmares, difficulty sleeping, depression (when she is normally a very happy girl), anxiety, lots of crying (not able to explain why) It worked wonders for my daughter last year when she took it by itself for about two weeks to control nasal congestion and cough. It was prescribed again this year on a longer basis, but this time it did not work so well on its own. Three more meds were then prescribed along with the Singulair. After 2.5 months of Singulair alone and 3 more weeks of the combined meds, her congestion and cough have not gone away and she has been having all these BAD side effects for a week now. She cries all day for no reason, doesn't want to stay in Pre-K (which she loves), cries in her sleep, and has nightmares every night. The Dr. doesn't think it has anything to do with Singulair, but after reading all these comments I will definitely STOP giving it to her. I was so concerned about her behavioral changes that I thought she needed a psychologist. Now I know better and I hope she goes back to normal very soon. F 4 3 months

 2  allergies; rhinitis 4 year old son had a dramatic personality change soon after taking 5mg chewable tablet each day. Became physically aggressive and irritable. He said he felt like "a bad guy" while on the medication. Granted his allergies improved I took him off the medication because he was an angry little boy and previously he had been very happy go lucky. (His original personality was restored within 3 days of discontinuation of Singulair.) M 4 2 weeks

 2  Asthma My daughter takes it... she is 4 years old and has asthma real bad. the side effect that ive noticed 1). really cranky ( she cries a lot) 2) mood change with in seconds. ( she actully slaps her older brother.) 3) complains of tummy ach. 4) Stops breathing at nigh time.. Theres not one night that goes by that i get to sleep alone. because im afraid she will stop breathing. Every since she's been on singulair i've noticed at night that she stops breathing. i have to set her up right to get her to breath.. Its very scary. I read a lot of comments about the meds but didnt think anything of it... tomorrow we are going back to the doctor.. Something just isnt rite. Shes always in a bad mood, and sometimes she hits on her brother (older then her) which isnt like her. And also she tryies to hit me. I hope there is something else we can try because Singulair isnt it.... F 4 1 years
