My son (14) had been on Singulair for several years and was recently diagnosed with depression. There was discussion about prescribing anti-depressants. I did research on the web and found out that a rare side effect was depression. Several individuals reported suicidal tendencies and severe mood swings in addition to depression. My son has been off the medicine for about three weeks and is a happy boy again. Not even a moody teenager!
