| 4 | Allergies to pets | Total lack of focus, very tired all the time. Knowingly feeling that I'm not myself - quiet, withdrawn, inactive, depressed about nothing. People asking if everything is all right etc. Product worked well on allergies but I just don't feel the same and its not worth it. I'd rather suffer with allergies. | M | 4 months | 6/15/2009 | 1 | mild asthma and dust mite allergies | My 10 year old son began taking Singulair 5mg almost 2 years ago for mild asthma and allergies. I was very leary of him taking any med's long term and asked repeatedly about possible side effects. I was told by 2 doc's that there really weren't any that they were aware of. I called a week after he began taking it because he was having horrible nightmares. I read the package insert and it said something about nightmares. Both doc's said they would only last a week or so. They did seem to go away and his allergies and asthma were under control so we continued to take it. After the reports of suicidal thoughts I called again and was told it was rare in children and to continue him on it. He is now 10 and is very moody, argumentative, sad and seems to be having bad dreams again. I asked if Singulair could cause these problems esp. in boys starting adolescence and was told no. After reading this site I am taking him off of it today. I had no idea so many of the things I've seen i | F | 40 | 2 years | 6/14/2009 | 1 | Poss allergies; ear infections | Night terrors | My daughter started taking Singular chewable tabs exactly 2wks ago. Shortly after that, she started having frequent night terrors, crying out in her sleep, vivid dreams. I just put the two together last night and found this information today. She was taking it on a 30-day trial to avoid tubes but she will not be taking it any longer. Today is Sunday so I guess I will call the ENT tomorrow to let them know I've discontinued the medication. My 18mo son is also taking it but I haven't noticed any night wakings. He's been cranky though? | F | 4 | 2 weeks | 6/14/2009 | 1 | HYPER REACTIVE AIRWAY | mood changes, crying, difficulty controlling behavior, irritability, acting like a different person, frustrated, trouble focusing and listening. would scream uncontrollably when things didn't go her way. hyper and anxious. | would NOT recommend this for a child!!!!!!!!!! symptoms cleared within a couple of days of being off the drug. my daughter is back!!! and her coughing is not worse. still need breathing treatments though. | F | 5 | 1 months | 6/12/2009 | 2 | allergies | red,raised,blistery,itchy,rash and soreness in teeth and jaws. Nausea, weakness and unsteadiness. | I took this medication once before back in February and did not notice any side effects but the prescription ran out. But when I got it refilled this month I immediately rashed and felt ill but did not consider the Singulair until I realized that I did not have the rash upon awakening each morning and it reappeared after I took the next dose, and went outside, however briefly. I am now considering if my moods were perhaps negatively affected over these past weeks as well. I may never know. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 6/9/2009 |
