| 2 | Allergy Induced Asthma | Mood swings, irriatiblity, sleeplessness, night terrors, Ear infections, clingy, hitting sibling. | We added this medication to his asthma routine as he would have a persistant cough that sounded like a seal for the allergy seasons. Well, I noticed an increase of mean behavior toward his sister, he was waking up persistantly throughout night. Would wake up with night terrors and not know who I am. TOOK forever to calm him down. He also turned from an easy going kid, to a defiant child and also very disturbed whiny kid. Took him today to doc for ear infection, which has increased since putting him on this medication. I am NOT giving him his dosage tonight. My son is normally a sweet boy, but has since been turned into a monster! Thanks for all the comments! You helped me determine it's not just in my mind! | M | 3 | 3 months | 3/27/2008 | 2 | asthma | 3.5 yr old boy, consistent sleep interruption and disruption, bad dreams, "new" fears during waking hours, complaints of stomach aches and leg pain, increased aggression and agitation, increase in rate of melt downs; | This medication helped our son's physical health - asthma - but deteriorated his emotional health. His altered personality (see side effects experienced) has brought sadness to both him and our entire family. A very upsetting situation. | M | 3 | 5 days | 11/21/2007 | 2 | Rhinitis | lethargy, sleeplessness, cloudy head, stuffy nose, dry throat | I actually went to a local pulmonologist as I suspected I had exercise induced bronchoconstriction / asthma. I'm active in cycling and running and have always been hypersensitive to colder weather and get SOB/tightness in chest when exercising for long periods. After watching a news clip on the condition I did some research and decided to make an appointment. This is the first time I've been in a doctor's office in years and I felt great going in, just wanted to see if I could improve my riding and extend my season by getting treatment. They determined I did have EIB and rhinitis which he said could contribute to the problem (I haven't noticed any symptoms though). He gave me Proventil for immediately before strenuous exercise and Singulair to take every evening for the rhinitis. That night I took the Singulair and slept normal. The next morning I overslept and did not want to get up. This is not like me. My head was stopped up and my throat dry. Again, I don't generally suffer allergi | M | 35 | 3 days | 9/27/2007 | 2 | asthma | My son went on Singular 5 days ago. Since then he has gone from a happy 5 year old to a moody child. He has had horrible mood swings, he has cried at school, hit at home, "bounced off the walls" and eaten like there is no tomorrow. I am taking him off the medicine and asking for something new. | M | 5 | 5 days | 10/7/2007 | 2 | fall allergies | inconsolable crying spells, violent tantrums, extreme frustration | My 9 year old son was on it for 8 days and yesterday it was reported to me that he had a crying spell on the bus to school, tantrums and crying spells in school, then came home from school crying inconsolably and had several violent tantrums and was extremely irritable at home. He has autism, but never displayed this kind of behavior before. I thought he might be coming down with something so I took him to the doctor today and was informed to immediately stop giving him the Singulair. He was otherwise healthy. Since he was only on it 8 days, I'm hoping for him to have it out of his system in the next day or so and be back to what our 'normal' is. Thanks for the feedback on this website! | M | 9 | 8 days | 10/28/2008 |
