| 1 | Asthma | Moodiness, hostility, depression | Discontinued use today, would rather live with asthma symptoms. | M | 50 | 2 years 10mg 1X D | 5/26/2010 | 1 | allergies, chronic sinus problems | Facial tics, body tics, very emotional, aggressive behavior | While taking Singulair my son was 5 yrs old and became very emotional, he would cry at the drop of a hat over the smallest things. He also had sudden aggressive outbursts, which was not like him at all. He also developed several facial and body tics that soon became very severe to the point where he wasn't able to stop and couldn't function in normal daily activities. Within less than 24 hrs after taking him off of it we saw improvement of about 95%. I would not put any of my kids on singulair again, it's not worth it to us!! I highly recommend that any parent considering giving it to their child weigh the benefits and side effects before giving singulair to them. | M | 5 | 3 weeks 1X D | 6/7/2010 | 1 | allergies/asthma | Aggression, tantrums, moodiness, tired, not listening, crying | My son has dealth with postnasal drip and asthma that comes on during the middle of the night since he was born, we saw a new pediatrian 2 weeks ago and she said 'your son has allegies and needs to have his asthma under control' and prescribed singular. At first I was so happy to finally have some answers and a 'solution' but boy was I wrong! With in 2 days of taking this medicine, my son who is my mellow child and very caring and loving started throwing tantrums like i've never seen any of my children do, he was agressive, would not listen to me or his father, then after a couple more days started hitting his sibblings, punching them to a degree more than 'normal' sibbling playing around. I then looked closer at the side effects of the med and saw 'mood behavoirs' listed under 'possible side effects' ok I thought it would maybe level out after 2 weeks on the medicine. While the screaming tantrums have mellowed out, the other things have not and finding this site tonight seeing the other comments, confirms my resolve to not give him anymore Singular. I have my sons 6 year check up in 3 days with his usual pediatrician and I'm going to give my complaint to him about the side effects of this medicine. | M | 6 | 14 days 4mg 1X D | 3/27/2010 | 1 | ASTHMA | NEGATIVE SELF-TALK, AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS, GENERAL NEGATIVITY, LISTLESSNESS, SLEEP HALLUCINATIONS FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER STOPPING DRUG - NORMAL KID NOW! | MY SON IS 5YEARS OLD AND IS IN SAO PAULO BRAZIL , I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM READING,IT WORKED WITH THE RUNNY NOSE AND COLDS THAT HE WAS GETTING ONCE A TWO MONTHS,BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SON IS MISBEHAVING IN SCHOOL, NOT STAYING IN HIS SEAT, HITTING OTHER CHILDREN, HE HAS NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS, I STARTED WORRYING ABOUT ADD OR ADHD, UNTIL THE THOUGHT CAME TO MY MIND THAT HE STARTED ACTING THIS WAY AFTER HE STARTED TAKING SINGULAIR, I AM DEFINATELY TAKING HIM OFF THIS MEDICATION!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRUG TO OTHER PARENTS. 5 YEAR OLDS THAT SUDDENLY AG AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS ARE INFLUENCED BY A DRUG!! YOU KNOW YOUR KIDS!! BELIEVE THE PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR CHILDREN AND LEARN FROM THEM. DOCTORS ARE NOT THE ALL KNOWING WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CHILD - YOU ARE! THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES, FIND THEM!!! | M | 5 | 2 years 04 MG 1X D | 5/15/2010 | 1 | allergies | eye and neck twitches | My son just started taking this medicine last Thursday. So, its only been 7 days and yesterday and today I noticed he would turn his eyes all the way to one side or the other several times and then stop. I asked him if something was bothering his eyes and he said yes but he couldn't explain what the problem was only that he couldn't help it and couldn't keep from doing it. He was only supposed to take for a month to get through the spring pollen season here. But, I'm not giving it to him anymore now that I realize the singulair is the problem. I asked him how long his eyes have been bothering him, he said it wasn't bothering when he went to the doctor, but now it is. He's only 12 and has enough to deal with just being in middle school. He says he's been sort of embarrassed by the problem. I hope stopping the medicine will end the side effects. | M | 12 | 7 days 5mg chewab 1X D | 4/21/2010 |
