Singulair and waves

(A divorced father)
My son has been on Singulair now 5 years and I am in the middle of fighting to get him off. My son is now 7 years old and has been diagnosed with allergies (no test have been done which I find very odd), which leads to a case of mild asthma. This past weekend his mother forgot his Singular on Friday so I could not give him any till the next day, where we met at his soccer game. Saturday night I gave him his usual pill and thankfully due to his exhaustion from playing out side all day he went to sleep in 10 min. vs 3 hrs later which is the norm since Singulair seems to jack him up.
He also has red puffiness under his eyes - most likely allergies.
Seems depressed - just driving down the road and I look at him in the rear view mirror and he just sits and stares into space. When I ask what's wrong he either says nothing or I am tired.
He will try to tell a story or think for himself and just stops mid sentence and says " never mind I am just confused"
He will be having fun one moment and just starts crying or gets depressed.
He was throwing a ball in the house (yes I know) and accidentally knocked a glass over breaking it - he went running to his room, crawled under his bed and sobbed profusely for over 30 min.
He has a hard time doing / focusing on homework - becomes bored very easily.
Does not want to go outside. I will take him to allot of cultural events/ hands on or participation events - he will not try anything. He is unsure and will not come out of his box so to speak.
I spoke with his doctor who was reluctant to take him off, but then agreed that if it was OK with the ex, to take him off for a week to see what happens.
The fun part: My ex is convinced that since he has been on Singulair for 5 years he is fine and does not need to come off it.

1.) Son is diagnosed with mild asthma or allergy induced asthma.
He has never had an allergy test done and has not had a lung function test in over a year.

2.) It is documented that our son has four outbreaks a year. (sounds like the changing of the seasons) but is given Singulair all year round and the dosage has also been increased.

3.) Since the court order, ordered my ex to enroll our son in sports (she would not let him play anything) he does not wheeze or cough uncontrollably.

4.) Since I had to battle to get our son on my insurance I have cut her control issues off a little, but she is refusing to take him off Singular just for a week to see how he reacts. Although I do agree that he should have some form of allergies medicine.

5.) When I found out about the side effects of Singulair, I also found that his doctor was getting ready to add two other allergy medicines to his portfolio - totaling 3 different meds.

I see our sons behavior getting worse and I watch him turn into something he is not and with a controlling individual not believing anything about the side effects it looks like I will have to rely on the medical system to prove my point. I do believe he needs to be accurately tested for allergies and given a regularly lung function test but most of all since he is now on my insurance, a second opinion and a 3rd to narrow down what the situation is and an alternative medical procedure that is fit for the symptoms.

Hi to all,
I am Cody Miller's mom, the boy who took his life after 17 days on SINGULAIR.I am just checking back to read some postings and I am truly amazed and saddened at the stories.I believe that if you follow through by filing your side effects with the FDA , advise anyone you know to do the same,the seriousness of this drugs danger cannot be hidden or ignored any longer.We have met with some knowledgable people on the drug company Mercks outlandish ,irresponsible practices .They said, the thing that helps in cases like this are,< REPORTS AND PHONE CALLS TO THE FDA>This is what we are being told.I have copied the pages on this website and, the Congresswomans that is helping us, has scanned your stories to disk.We will be taking them to Washington DC on May 2 to speak to the FDA.These stories cannot be ignored.Please make sure you look at all the serious side effects. When speaking to your doctor, let them know that this drug can cause alot of things besides suicide, although that is a serious added side effect. It can slowly steal the quality of your childs life and your family's life.Risk to benefit is all I am reminding everyone of,it seems the doctors sometimes dont look at the overall picture.I do believe however that more physicians are looking at this with eyes wide open, now that people are putting two and two together.My quest is relabeling this drug ,after removing it from the market to study further.Safety should be first ,not profit for GIANT PHARMECUETICAL COMPANIES.Your voices will be heard if you just make waves , have some faith.My husband and I will make it known to all who will listen, we are not alone in our request. They must seriously evaluate this drug and it's benefit to risk ratio, childrens lives are dependent on this important investigation.You can find the phone number to the FDA on the website if this number does not work,718-340-7000ext.5657 Alice in Jamaica New York.This person will direct you if your having difficulty filing on medwatch.com.She will file while on the phone with you.Please again, take these steps to move this important matter forward in the right direction.Blessings to all Kate Miller
