| 2 | asthma | Our 10 year old has unexplained sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intense headaches, backache, inability to concentrate, chronic sinus infections and a constant feeling of ill health. | We've been distraught over our very intelligent son's inability to focus in school and complete his assignments. This has caused a great deal of anxiety and sadness in our child. We've had him tested for inattentive ADD recently and are awaiting results. Today the school nurse called (again!) to tell me our son had a headache and basically told me he was just making it up to get out of doing his work. Since this is the first time he's ever been in the nurses office, I find it quite curious she has so quickly assessed that he is "faking" it. However, he has missed 13 days of school and it is only early December so I'm sure she thinks I am a parent who lets her child manipulate her into staying home. NOT THE CASE!! Today we found post after post from Singulair users and it is all making sense! He feels lousy because he is being poisoned by a drug the FDA should be pulling from the market!! It worked great in controlling his asthma but has caused him to suffer for two y | F | 37 | 2 years | 12/3/2007 | 5 | Asthma attack | I'm guessing that combining it with reactine caused my marks to drop in school(85%-72%) but thats just a guess. It works great though( I'm a teen) | M | 18 | 2 years | 12/2/2007 | 1 | Bronchitis/Temporary Asthma | Caused tremendous anxiety. I had frequent panic attacks that went on for hours. Also caused severe depression. I did not notice any difference in my ability to breath, if anything, due to the anxiety my breathing was worse. Bad show. | Works for some people, but definitely not for me... | M | 23 | 3 days | 12/2/2007 | 1 | ASTHMA | BAD MOOD SWINGS, WOULDN'T SLEEP, ALWAYS HUNGRY, BAD DEPRESSION | WORKED GREAT FOR ASTHMA SYMPTONS BUT TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS I WILL NEVER PUT MY CHILD ON THIS AGAIN | F | 7 | 6 months | 12/2/2007 | 4 | asthma, severe cough, runny nose | My 6 yr.old daughter has been on this med.(child dose) for less than 30 days. Singulair has been terrific for her asthma and cough. She no longer coughs at night or wakes in the morning coughing up mucus to the point of vomiting. However, after reading this web site I might have found the answers to some new troubles. A couple of weeks ago she started having to use the bathroom constantly. A few nights ago she started waking every hour having to use the bathroom. This is not her. She has never had an accident nor woke at night to go to the bathroom. She has gained 3 pounds in 4 weeks without eating much at all. She is now having accidents at home and school and is up all night going to the bathroom. I took her to the doctor and she said probably a urinary infection-no worries. Nothing about side effects! Is anybody else seeing any increased urination with their child? The medicine works great for her asthma and cough but the side effects are to great to keep her on it. | I can't have her up all night going 'potty' and having acidents at school-she was so embarrased. I am going to take her off it tonight and hopefully see a difference within a night or two. The weight gain and bathroom issue are to much for her (and me) to deal with for the sake of no more coughing and runny nose. By the way, the label on my daughters bottle states that it is for children ages 2-14. I rated the medicine a 4 because for the actual asthma and cough it works great but it has to many side effects for children. This medicine needs to be re-evaluated for kids. If anybody else has seen the same side effects in their child please let me know, thanks! | F | 6 | 30 days | 11/30/2007 |
