RATING	REASON	SIDE EFFECTS FOR SINGULAIR	COMMENTS	SEX	AGE	DURATION/ DOSAGE	DATE ADDED
				F M
1	asthma, allergies (daughter)	hyperactivity, argumentative, unable to reason with, on the go constantly, massive appetite, anger (unable to reason with)	I feel sick reading these comments. Why are doctors prescribing this drug? My daughter has turned into a monster and I feel so guilty giving her it without questioning it at all.	F	5	2 months	11/19/2008
3	Asthma	Weight gain, bad dreams, depression, twisted and perverse thoughts, anxiety, and dehydration.	I am also taking Symbicort which strangely brings some of the same side effects including headaches and eye strain.	M	36	2 months	11/17/2008
3	Allergies and asthma	stomach ache when taken at night		M	8	1 years	11/13/2008
1	asthma and allergy	my son started taking this when he had turned 3. Though the last few months I started put things together. he had nightmares/cryig fits everynight, usually within 1 hour of taking medication. He is more sensitive all around.		M	4	2.5 years	11/13/2008
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
