| 1 | mild asthma | mood swings, anxiety, depression, aggression, outburst behavior, nightmares, diminished impulse control, suicidal ideation | My daughter went from a delightful little girl to a problem child almost immediately. That was blamed it on the fact that she was nearing her preteen years, though she didn't reach puberty until 14! When she ran out of the medicine recently I didn't renew it, and her behavior is rapidly reverting to normal, though her self esteem had been damaged by the years of ADD-type behavior. | F | 14 | 6 years | 2/17/2009 | 1 | Asthma | Severe Night Sweats, completely soaks :Head and Hair, all Clothes, and bedding, as if he wet the bed but worse. | 1st time 5 days stopped, the sweating issue concerned me. 3 weeks later Dr. talked me into Singulair agian because cough and congestion. 1st dose tonight heavy sweats again. I am washing bedding right now. will not give again. | M | 5 | 6 days | 2/17/2009 | 2 | 3 1/2 yr old for allergies/asthma | My son who was already strong-willed has been on Singulair for approximately three months. He's always been high-energy and difficult to discipline but he started having these negative thoughts and speech "I hate myself" I hate you/my sister" and calling people idiots and hitting more/biting etc. - and until I happened upon this website did not even think it had anything to do with his medication! He also has had hallucinations/bad dreams frequently at night and told my mother that he heard a bee in his ear - which is what caused me to suspect his medication. After reading all of these posts I took him off of it two days ago. So far I have not seen a change and he is a little asthmatic so I am calling his allergist about all this tomorrow. | I am OUTRAGED that I never was told about these side effects and to hear that it was reported in the news - I am guessing I must've been under a ROCK that day? I would have never put my son on this medication if I knew. Sadly, it was really helping with his allergies and asthma and now we'll have to try something else possibly. We took him off Zyrtec b/c he had issues on that as well and it dried him out too much and made him too drowsy. | F | 39 | 3 months | 2/15/2009 | 2 | Asthma | Severe depression, very vivid dreams, skin problems with excema and severe itiching of face, scalp and neck, hair falling out. Scalp was numb and tingling. | Helped with asthma symptoms, but due to side effects could not take. | F | 58 | 6 months | 2/6/2009 | 1 | chronic sinus and ear infections | My 8 year old daughter was prescribed singulair 3 different times. The first two times she had severe headaches and we discontinued after two weeks. This last time we took it for 1 | and 1/2 months (after the doctor became angry that we had not kept her on it before.)We have now been to the ER for stomach pain and swollen abdomen 4office visits and 6days off school. She is having night terrors, clingy, cries from fear at bedtime will not let me out of her sight,also 1UTI.I have not slept in 3 weeks and the scary part is that it has been 3 weeks since she has had a dose. I found a post saying their son saw red stripes and yellow dots in one eye and it blew me away. That cannot be a coincidence.My child was happy and secure before she took singulair and now she is terrified and tormented daily by thoughts she cannot get out of her head. She says people are trying to kill her when she sleeps. She is now sleep deprived with dark circles under her eyes. I still have not seen information on how long it will take to get out of her system. | F | 8 | 45 days | 2/2/2009 |
