To all of you who offered me advice pls read this

A few weeks ago I came here asking for help for my son who was having behavior issues. All of you were so kind in sharing your experience and advice with me and now I'd like to share some with you.

It's come to my attention that the allergy medicine singulair may be the cause of his problems. I've since taken him off the meds and have already seen signs of improvement. So I wanted to make all of you aware of the fact that this med has side effects which aren't addressed until pg 4 of the insert, they include mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts to name the most troubling please if you take this med consider that it may the reason why you are feeling the way you are. FDA has lauched an investigation into the reports.

Thank you again for your kindness and I hope I have helped a few of you in return with this info.

Best wishes

Hi Liamsmom,

Thank you for posting that, I didn't know that about Singulair. I've never been on that drug before. I am really glad that you took your son off it, and
I am happy to hear that he is doing better. That's great news.
