| 4 | my son takes it for Asthma | He had 2 cases sinusitis during the first 5 weeks. Tired. He had some wheezing after the first 3 weeks, but nothing since then. | Right now I'm investigating wheater or not the Singulair is causing a rash whenever he has sun exposure. It looks like hives but less blotches and more spread out. | M | 2 | 3 months | 8/3/2008 | 4 | Asthma and allergies | No side effects to mention, I started looking for an answer in the middle of the after rocking my child back to slepp again from difficulty breathing. My 2 year old son has been on Sinfular since he was about 8 months old, now the Dr decides to take him off with no warnig and no reason, three days now and I am looking for an answer of the effects of going off the drug cold turkey. The allergies are back and breathing is getting worse each day. | I am making am appointment to get him checked, glad to find this info, I do not want to put him back on it now, but I also fear the many trips to the ER and asthma attacks. He is already on two steroids to help him breath. Do not knowif there was an effect on attitude or sleep since he has been on it so long, he is a pretty happy child, moody at times, but has never slept thru the night wakes up two to three times a night crying. Now that he has been off the drug he cries off and on all night and can't seem to get comfotable tosss and turns. Will post a response to see if there is a significant change in my son | M | 2 | 1.8 years | 2/26/2009 | 3 | allergies/asthma | sleeplessness after 1 week of taking 4mg. night terrors, waking 3 to 4 times a night screaming, very difficult to calm down. second time in a year tried to keep her on this medication. both times same effects. | seemed to work in keeping allergy symptoms away. but negative side effects not worth it, trying another method | F | 2 | 2 weeks | 3/4/2009 | 3 | Asthmatic Symptoms | My son is 2y 11m and was prescribed Singulair for Asthmatic symptoms after 3 months of continuous illness | ~Within 5 days his breathing improved dramatically and i was impressed with the results, however after 10 days his skin on his arms and legs became like sand paper and then he became hyperactive at night He is a fantastic sleeper having gone through the night from 4 months He wakes in the night banging the cot, screaming and wanting to run around, which can last for hours He seems unable to hear me and falls asleep exhausted only to sit bolt upright again minutes later I hardly recognise him Usually a passive child he bites, pinches and kicks He has Downs Syndrome and many medical problems for which he has other medication so i dont know if this is only the Singulair or a combination problem Once i read the side-effects leaflet i felt sure this drug was a cause He sees the Pead in a week so i have halved the dose until then.... | M | 2 | 14 days 4mg 1X D | 1/4/2011 | 3 | Allergy induced asthma | Night waking, trouble falling asleep for nap, irritable, more aggressive and active than normal | My (20 month old)son has been on Singulair for a week now. The Dr. perscribed it for the chronic cough he's had for a year everytime he lays down. Today I started to wonder why he has been waking in the night and not taking his afternoon nap like normal. He's also been aggressive towards his teddy bear. So, I went online thinking there might be more to Singulair than I read in the leaflet. Wow, what feedback! The first night Singulair DID stop his coughing and he slept like a rock the first three nights. I was so excited because it seemed like he was finally going to get sleep without being interupted by coughing throughout the night. Yes, the drug works, but it's not worth the side effects, especially in kids too little to explain what they're feeling. I just wish I had found this site before I spent the $$$$ to purchase the blasted stuff! | M | 2 | 7 days | 1/23/2007 |
