 1  asthma/allergies? My 3 1/2 year old son was givn the medicine because he had severe coughing spells, that couldnt be explained. The doctor gave us samples while we waited to see a specailist. 4 out 7 nights on the drug he wet the bed, he became very inpatient, sensitive, thought people were laughing at him, more agrressive,biting his brother, difficulty sleeping, crying in his sleep, nightmares, antisocial etc etc. My son experienced these symptoms after one week, BEWARE!!! of this medication the risks just dont out way the benefits. My once outgoing child became afraid to go to school and depressed after one week, said he didnt want to be happy and was telling me he did things that he hadnt, bad things! I can only imagine what may have happened if he had stayed on the meds. Do not give your children this medication!How dare drug companies give out this medication when there are so many horror stories out there. Shame on them!!!!!!Ps Two days after stopping my son is getting back to his old self and hopefuly in a couple days I will have my happy fun loving child back. M 4 7 days

 1  yes my 19 month old son was on it for 4 weeks, we started to notice a very big change on him, for the worst, he would not play, constantly crying, just laiding down on the floor, it wasn't him, he is a active little boy, but became inactive, doctor's kept telling me its his teeth, as I read about the side effect, I was so shock to see that my little boy was going through that, I took him off, and have seen a great improvement in him, he's playing, sleeping well, the way he used to be before taking singulair, his doctor refuses to believe it had anything to do with the mediction, me as his mother has seen a great improvement in my son, since I took him off the singulair, I feel it should not be given to children M 2 4 days

 1  allergies Dr. prescribed sigulair for my son after I discountinued Allegra due to horrible mood changes. My son had been off all meds for 3 days and back to normal when we started singulair. He's been on singuair for 5 days and IT'S BACK. The mood swings are horrible..he cries all the time..is very aggressive and angry..this is NOT my son. We will throw this prescription away just like allegra. I feel horrible for not doing the research after the allegra I should have known better. Dr.'s need to be educated on what COULD happen with children like mine!! M 8 5 days
