| 1 | Asthma and Allergies | My daughter was just put on Singulair for her Allergies and Asthmatic cough. Her allergist put her on this to see if it might help her I was very hessitant to give it to her but after seeing her suffer today I decided to give it without having time to sit down and read about the side effects. I am so terrified right now I think I am going to spend the night sitting next to her and watch her very closely. My heart goes out to all those parents who have had children suffer with those horrifying side effects. I cant believe something hasnt been done by the FDA to pull this drug from use of children. My nephew was also on this for a year for allergies when he was two after a year of taking them he stopped now he is 7 and he still has nightmares, cant sleep through the night, compains about voices he hears, extremely sensative, talks about killing himself at times, etc. Does anyone know if this might be a side effect from the drug after so many years? | F | 2 | 1 days 4mg 1X D | 9/30/2011 | 1 | Allergies | My daughter's psychiatrist warned me that this medication may cause behavioral problems and I didnt believe her. My daughter had taken it the year prior with no problems. However, this year, my daughter started taking it and after two consecutive weeks she was showing aggressive behavior, stomach pain, anxiety, and sever frustration overall. She gained weight in the two short weeks she took it. I am shocked. I have had my son on this medication for over 6 years without any obvious issues. I am however taking him off after learning of all the problems that have started coming out about this medication. | F | 8 | 2 years 5mg 1X D | 8/17/2011 | 1 | asthma | coughing throut hurt along with my one ear,headach | F | 52 | 7 days 10 mg. 1X D | 7/15/2011 | 1 | allergies | Severe constipation, bloating, weight gain (went from petite 5'2" 110 lb to 150 lb despite diet and extreme exercise of all kinds), brain "fog", sadness, extreme fatigue (every day I felt like I could just sleep for DAYS) | I tried going to doctor after doctor convinced I had a thyroid problem or something. All tests always came back normal! I'm not sure why I didn't make the connection but I just realized all of these problems started at same time I started singulair for seasonal allergies. I don't think my allergies were even that bad and I am angered that no doctor ever told me it could be that. They all tried to make it seem like I was crazy and must be sitting in front of the couch eating and not exercising. I've been severely depressed because despite a reduced cal diet, eating healthier than I ever have, and hours of exercise a day (starting running on my lunch break, joined a gym, took martial arts classes 3x a week for 2 hours at a time!, even got a personal trainer!!) and NOTHING worked, I just kept gaining! I finally stopped about 2 weeks ago and I am starting to feel better. The fatigue is almost all gone, it's a night/day difference! I am hoping the weight will come off. For those who had similar problems and stopped singulair, how long until the weight comes off? I'm desperate to lose at least 30 lbs to get back into all of my old clothes! | F | 25 | 3 years 10MG 1X D | 8/10/2011 | 1 | Allergies asthsma | My daughter began taking drug as a replacement to Flonase for allergies. The first night she had night terrors, never had them before in her life. She woke up several times a night screaming and crying while on the drug. During the days she was very emotional, crying at the drop of a pin about everything. | F | 2 | 10 days 4mg 1X D | 6/29/2011 |
