I know, I heard it also, it's the scariest thing. Have a kid away in Yeshiva who takes it, I called him up and told him about it and asked him if he was feeling depressed. It's a popular drug.

I have a preschooler with asthma, who this drug has helped keep off oral steriods this year. I plan to e-mail my pulmonologist about this ASAP.

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you actually see something in the behavior. Especially in the preschoolers, who it shouldn't be a problem to start with.

My pulmonologist indicated that they are not taking kids off the medication unless behavioral probs are indicated. He offered me a trial off for my dd if he examines her and she is doing well and then he would examine her a month later to see the effect of stopping the medication. He indicated that they believed Singulair is a good drug which has helped many and the benefits may outweigh the risk.
