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 | 1 | Protective med against flu sideeffe | Violent aggressive n mood swings for my 2.5 yr old like I had never seen before. Would advice parents take an informed decision before using this drug for little kids who don't even know what is happening to them and rely on parents for everything. | M | 2.5 | 3 days 1X D | 5/6/2010 | 1 | allergies | Angry, moody, tantrums, never happy, never smiling. Frustrated easily. Fighting constantly with sister and family...now even grandparents, aunt, etc. | My son has been on and off Singulair for years. When he was off in the summertime, I had my son back. After reading this site, I am thrilled to see that there might be a reason for this unbearable behavior. He does very well in school and this problem does not carry over there. So, I didn't attribute it to the meds. I am taking him off today and will be patiently waiting for a change! | M | 6 | 3 years 5mg 1X D | 4/17/2010 | 1 | allergies | head twitches/tics | My son starting taking Singulair on and off since January. I started giving it to him REGULARY the last week of January til about a month ago. What he experienced/now experiencing was/is head twitches. It was like a twitch to the side of his head, all day long for a month now. It was a ped on call that asked if he was taking singulair and said taht it was known to cause tics and twitches. He has been off for a month now and although the twitches has subsided they are still very-much-sothere. I plan to leave an update with hopes that I can help someone else out becuase I am claiming the victory over this medicine. To see my son go thru this has caused a major depression for me and has affected everything that I am involved in. But as I pray, I KNOW all will be well and that it will just take time for this drug to pass through his system. God Bless you all and I feel your pain. | M | 8 | 3 months 1X D | 4/17/2010 |
