My son was on Singulair for 3 years, from 3-almost 6 years old. He experienced uncontrollable emotions that all were all great exaggerations of normal preschooler behavior, but exponentially more:rage, aggression, anger, frustration intolerance, explosiveness

After taking my second pill, I immediately when to having sever chills and then high fever, aching all over, could not get out of bed. Of course all DR's and pharmcies, say that this med. would not cause this. I quit taking it for 2 days, and then decided to try again, immediately started the same all over again.
