| 1 | asthma/allergies | My 3 yr. old son, who is very intelligent, became defiant, hateful, biting, hitting, pinching. He was having night mares, sleepwalking, couldn't make sense of things. I was about to call a developmental pediatrician. I had questioned daycare, church, everybody thinking he may have been abused. Finally it dawned on me about the medicine. I googled it, and found this site. | I have taken him off singulair. He has been off for 2 days and it is a slow process, but I am starting to see him return to normal. This medication should not be on the market. | M | 3.5 | 3 weeks | 3/11/2009 | 1 | allergies | depression insomnia anxiety panic | this drug is pure poison,passed out to small children who suffer from its effects,but the medical community turns a blind eye | M | 15 | 3 years | 2/25/2009 | 1 | exercise-induced asthma | 14 yr. old boy - nightmares (never had before), major problems concentrating in school, esp. math (an honor student), said he felt "wierd" and "different". | My 14 yr. old son was put on Singulair for exercise-induced Asthma. He has no other asthma problems. Within a week, he was waking up at night with nightmares and had trouble sleeping. He has never had dreams at night. He said he felt "weird" - kind of in a fog. Another problems he had was concentrating and focusing on his school work. He is an "A" honor student and had trouble focusing and rememebering things. We really noticed it with his math. We took him off Singulair and have already seen a major improvement. Just be careful and be sure you monitor your child. It did not work for us. He said that it did improve his breathing during basketball but we are looking for other options - not worth it for the side effects. | M | 14 | 14 days | 3/11/2009 | 1 | my son was taking it for asthma | very very aggressive,said he hated himself and all of us,went from a very happy child to throwing tantrums that i could not stop,has bad nightmares,sees things that are not there,getting into fights at school,said his brain felt like it was about to bust out of his head,biting his nails,constantly crying over small things,says his feeling are hurt all the time and that noone likes him,i can go on and on | this is a very very very bad and horrible drug that shouldl be taken off the market! it changed my 6 year old completely! i do not recommend anyone giving this medicine to their child! Im glad that i finally put things together and realized it was this poison that was making my precious 6 year old lose himself! PURE POISON! | M | 6 | 4 months | 3/12/2009 | 1 | 11 yr old for dust mite allergies | Poor performance at school, tearful episodes, nightmares about himself and family dying. Wanting to quit school. Poor self esteem | Ethan 11 yr. old had been taking Singulair for dust mite allergies since he was 6. Has always done poor to fair at school. Very emotional. Did not associate this with Singulair, until he began talking about death. Researched on the computer about childhood depression, found link to singulair. Described him perfectly. Although I feel like a terrible mother, I realize better late than never. I read the package insert when he was 6, but these side effects were not listed then. Since he has been off the Singulair 2 1/2 weeks now, he has been less tearful and when he does cry, it is not an outburst, hysterical cry. He has a better attitude about school; although, because of the damage already done, he will probably never like school. He is just a more rational kid. So far his allergies are not bad. He is on a nasal spray and goes for a check up in a week. I'm not mad at his doctor, I guess. She probably didn't know about the new side effects, either. I'm more mad at myself and my | M | 11 | 5 years | 3/15/2009 |
