| 3 | asthma | My son has been on this medication for 2 months after being diagnosed with asthma. All of the sudden he has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming and crying terrified. He doesn't know where he is at or who I am. I ask him what is wrong and he talks about seeing scary stuff and is even scared of me. I started to suspect taking singulair might be causing it. The few days he has stopped taking it, the night terrors go away and he sleeps great again. He has also been sleepier in the mornings and not paying attention at school. I was amazed at all the other comments on here about kids having bizarre dreams and night terrors. I took my son completely off of it since reading all of the other parents stories on this site. Thank you!!! | I think that singulair is a good medicine for controlling asthma. I myself have had asthma since I was a kid and have been able to control it before there was singulair. The night terrors are not an acceptable side effect for me as mom to watch my child have. I will have to discuss another alternative with our doctor. | M | 5 | 2 months | 11/29/2007 | 3 | asthma/allergies | My 5 year son old has been on Singular 4mg for 11 days. Within the last week he has been experiencing mood swings, leg pains, crying, screaming, yelling, hurting animals, loss of appetite, very tired, throwing, and very uncontrollable at night. | I am starting to decrease his dose to 2mg and I am going to see what happens. It has worked to clear up his allergies and it is not as bad as the Prednisolone, but still....he is changing. I am keeping my eye on him. | M | 5 | 11 days | 12/15/2008 | 3 | asthma, allergies | nightmares, aggressive behavior | I never thought that it might be the Singulair (his only med) that caused his aggression. He complains all the time about bad dreams. He has told me that he wants to be good but just can't help the things he does. I think that it has helped with the symptoms but we are weaning him off over the next week or two. | M | 5 | 4 years | 11/7/2008 | 2 | allergies | moodiness,loss of focus,"bouncing off the walls" | My son was prescribed Singulair after I had tried many other allergy meds-antihistamines and decongestants and had "moody" reactions to them. When the Dr. suggested Singulair I thought it would might work better since it was a different type of med, and I had worked around it in the past(I worked at an ENT office) and never heard any complaints. After ten days on the med the same moodiness, hyperactivity, and sensitivty started. His kindergarten teacher also noticed the change. I am stopping the med immediately. I thought it was just my son being sensitive to the med, now I realize he isn't the only one. | M | 5 | 10 days | 3/17/2008 | 2 | asthma | My son went on Singular 5 days ago. Since then he has gone from a happy 5 year old to a moody child. He has had horrible mood swings, he has cried at school, hit at home, "bounced off the walls" and eaten like there is no tomorrow. I am taking him off the medicine and asking for something new. | M | 5 | 5 days | 10/7/2007 |
