Singulair and 15 minutes

my 6yr old daughter was put on singulair at the age of 4 she had a reaction to nuts and had the allergy testing she was put on singulair and claritin and nasacort .(so she has been on the medication now for 14 months) about 3and 1/2 weeks ago she quit eating we had her to the dr several times they said it was all in her head that she could eat if she wanted to.she was then put in the hospital for 4 days they did the scope down the stomach found nothing i took her off all her meds because i didn't want her taking them with no food in her. she came home from the hospital and i put her back on the meds as the doctor requested and within 2 days she was crying non stop hitting me and telling me that she wanted to kill herself and everyone around her.she was putting her fists in everyines face and was very angry.she would cry and tell us that she didn't know why she was so angry.we took her back off of the meds because we were treating her for the stomach acid from not eating and within 4 days she was like a new kid.she is now eating ..happy ..and doing good in school..this is the 3rd time this yr on this med that she has quit eating we were told that it was all in her head .after reading everyones comments on here i called her doctor today and he said it could be the medication but they would have to put her back on it to check and i refused.no more singulair or clairitin for my children

I am SOOOO glad I found this site. My daughter is 6 years old and has been on Zyrtec on and off since she was 18 months old. About two years ago we added in Singulair. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder and they want to start her on meds for that. I got to thinking about when all her behavior and academic problems started and it was shortly after we started the Singulair. Before the Singulair she was a brilliant, outgoing, well-behaved happy little girl. Now she has trouble remembering short and long term, trouble concentrating, extremely fidgety, impulsive, can't complete anything she starts, extreme persistent stomach pains, diarrhea, occasional vomiting, and extreme frustration. I stopped both the Zyrtec and Singulair 4 days ago and am now reconsidering any meds for ADHD. I am going to wait and see how she does without Zyrtec and Singulair in her system. I am excited to see if there is an improvement! I had no idea these two drugs were so dangerous!
