My husband and I quickly noticed a difference in out normally calm son. Pre-school teachers were concerned, as were we, considering he was normally a child who payed attention, obeyed rules, and stayed focus. Suddenly he could not sit still and was mean to his brother and friends. The doctors swore there was no way these were side effects from the drup, and that he must just be going through a stage. After reading more info online from sites like this we immediately took him off the medication. He returned to his normal selse within a few days! | Watch out parents!!! | M | 4 | 1 months | 9/14/2008 | 2 | For allergy induced asthma | My 8yo son has been on and off Singulair for 3 years. The usual amount of time is 3 months and he tolerated well. This time he has been on it for 6 months and at hte 5month mark something started happeneing to him: vivid nightmares, obsessions, horrible thoughts (about death), thinking about hitting others, anxiety and crying and the list goes on. I am so glad i found this site. I took him off 4 days ago....slight decrease in symptoms. how long until he gets back to his old self? | Does anyone know a time frame for this horrible drug to get out of a child's system? It breaks my heart to have my son suffer like this.... | F | 36 | 6 months | 9/12/2008 | 1 | Allergies/Asthma | My son has been taking Singulair granules for approximately 2 weeks now. Doctor stated that if the combination of medicines prescribed (Singulair, Nasonex, and Cefdinir ) did not significantly improve his symptoms within 2-3 weeks, our next option would be to remove the adenoids. While the medicines seemed to "miraculously" cure the eternally runny nose and cough (in just 2 days!) and grant my son his first sound night of sleep in months, the associated side effects have been so scary that we have not given him the medicine in the last two days. During the first week (after about 2 days on the medicines), he would cry that he wanted to "sleep in Mama's bed" and we sometimes gave in and allowed him to do so, as a result of his unconsolable crying.In the last week (days 7-14 of the medication) we have seen him go from a sweet, independent little boy to an aggressive, frightened, uncontrollable child. He has NEVER in his life had problems/fears associated with slee | We follow the same bedtime routine each night; medicine, bath, diaper, singing/praying while rocking in his room, and then placing him in his bed. The moment he feels my body shift to stand up and place him in his crib he begins to tense up his whole body and scream in a manner which is simply almost un-human. He is unable to speak between screams. It takes up to an hour to calm him and even after bringing him into our bed his sleep is restless. He never used to want to be cuddled and cradled while sleeping in our bed. Now, he seems to NEED to hold my face or hand the entire night. If I shift in even the slightest manner while lying there, he panics and wakes up SCREAMING! I tried to let him "cry it out" a few nights to our utter dismay. He actually seemed to have such a breakdown on those nights that he was completely inconsolable and nobody in our household could sleep those nights. The few times I have been able to let him "cry it out" in a somewhat accep | F | 1.8 | 12 days | 9/11/2008 |
