FDA Probes Suicide Risk in Merck Singulair: Aspartame and Singulair Cases

[Guest guest]

To FDA:

 

Obviously you know the major problem regarding the epidemic of

suicide. You have 70% of the population using aspartame. The

phenylalanine which is 50% of the molecule is neurotoxic as an

isolate and floods the brain. It lowers the seizure threshold, just

one of the reasons aspartame is a seizure triggering drug, and

depletes serotonin. Lowered serotonin triggers bipolar or manic

depression, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, panic attacks, insomnia,

schizophrenia, hallucinations, etc. To make matters worse aspartame

interacts with all antidepressants. In fact, due to damage to the

mitochondria it interacts with virtually all drugs and vaccines. So

as long as aspartame is on the market people using it and taking

drugs don't have a chance.

 

I can tell you right off there is aspartame in Singulair and

AstraZeneca's Accolate. To make matters worse aspartame is in many

of these asthma sprays. Aspartame is actually escalating

astham. Below my signature I'm going to add just a few case

histories on Singulair for people to understand what is happening.

 

You know aspartame is an addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug

because your Board of Inquiry revoked the petition for

approval. http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc We do know it would

never have been marked except for the political chicanery of Don

Rumsfeld when he was CEO of Searle. You know how its destroying the

brains of our children because FDA received Dr. John Olney's report

and agreed with him. http://www.wnho.net/dr_olney1.doc You know

there is a 1000 page medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored

Epidemic, www.sunsentpress.com by H. J. Roberts, MD, and that we have

a global epidemic. You know all about excitotoxins - Excitotoxins:

The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock,

M.D. www.russellblaylockmd.com You have received material for

years from Mission Possible International and ignored it just like

over 100 independent scientific peer reviewed studies showing the

toxicity like the Ramazzini Study showing aspartame to be a

multipotential carcinogen. When Dr. Soffritti did the second one it

showed it only takes a small amount of aspartame to cause cancer, and

if a pregnant woman uses it and the baby survives, it can be passed

to the offspring so when the child grows up she can get cancer. FDA

ignored it. You also know your own FDA toxicologist testified

against FDA in Congress because it causes cancer:

 

 

On August 1, l985 FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told

Congress at least one of Searle's studies "has established beyond ANY

REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors

in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of

extremely high significance. ... In view of these indications that

the cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been

established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, one can ask: What is the

reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food

additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"

 

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of

cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross

asked, "Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the

FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame

as constituting an allowable daily intake or 'safe' level of it? Is

that position in effect not equivalent to setting a 'tolerance' for

this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA

itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health

of the public?" Congressional Record SID835:131 (August 1, l985)

 

So your original studies showed aspartame causes cancer admitted by

your own toxicologist, and two impeccable Ramazzini studies confirmed

it. It violates the Delaney Amendment and yet you have done nothing

but ignore it. Much has been documented in the FDA audit, Bressler

Report, except for the two mice studies that were so bad FDA deleted

them: http://www.dorway.com/bressler.txt

 

From a press release on the Ramazzini Studies: "The results,

Soffritti said, "call for urgent reconsideration of regulations

governing the use of aspartame as an artificial sweetener.This is

not just an opinion," he said, "but in the United States, it is also

the law." The Delaney Clause of the Food Additives Amendment of 1958

mandates that any food additive shown to cause cancer in people or in

laboratory animals - as demonstrated in rigorous safety tests -

should be considered unsafe by the Food and Drug Administration."The

law was designed to protect citizens with a zero cancer risk

standard," Soffritti wrote in an e-mail. "Now that aspartame has been

demonstrated to induce cancer in animals, it follows that aspartame

is not safe as a food additive for humans. Human consumers should not

only be warned, but also protected from this risk."

 

FDA has served above the law since Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes became

Commissioner. Here is the newspaper article that explains when it

happened: "The New FDA: Good Medicine for Drug

Firms" http://www.mpwhi.com/the_new_fda.htm The whole story of how

aspartame got approved is in the documentary, Sweet Misery: A

Poisoned World, www.soundandfury.tv

 

You have ignored my petition for ban of aspartame which by law

requires answering in 180

days: http://www.wnho.net/citizens_aspartame_petition.htm It has

been almost six years. The amendment regarding an imminent health

hazard requires answering within a couple of weeks. It was sent to

you last October. http://www.wnho.net/amendment_to_citizens_petition.htm

 

Why do you violate the law? Is it because you take money from Big

Pharma and you can't serve two masters? Is it because you don't have

the power? Or is it because you don't have the courage? Since you

have full knowledge of the toxicity of aspartame and the fraud

involved in original studies because FDA asked for indictment of

Searle, you are guilty of the same law FDA used against Searle, Title

18, Section 1001. You tell people its safe with full knowledge its

deadly. Maybe it just boils down to the fact that not any of you

has the courage of a grasshopper, and you turn your heads and allow

millions to die. When I met the researcher of the Trocho Study

which showed aspartame embalms living tissue and damages DNA he said,

"Betty, this can kill 200 million people" I told him it no doubt

already has. Consider the millions of babies murdered in their

mother's womb because aspartame is an abortifacient and

teratogen. Consider the millions using it dying of cancer because

you have ignored the Delaney Amendment. Consider all the fatal

degenerative diseases triggered by aspartame that result in

death. It's pushed on diabetics when, in fact, it not only can

precipitate the disease but simulates and aggravates diabetic

retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes

diabetics to go into convulsions and interacts with insulin.

 

Suicide is rampant and you allow aspartame in drugs with full

knowledge, even in children's products. What does it take for FDA to

act like human beings concerned with safe food and drugs. You

"probe" issues and then ignore them, anything to make Big Pharma

happy. People are actually dropping dead from aspartame while you

gleefully remove ephedra as the cause.

http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm and

http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm

 

Aspartame Disease is one of the greatest scandals in US history, and

no drug on the market is safe as long as somebody is using this

poison. If you have any integrity or human decency answer my letter

and petitions. If you care not for safe food and drugs simply ignore

it like you have the studies that prove its a poison. FDA is

responsible for every single person that dies from aspartame because

you have had every opportunity to recall it and ignored the

issue. When those responsible to solve the problem are the problem

its an abomination.

 

Read on for a few cases on Singulair. The aspartame cases on the

sick and dying never stop, even though FDA turns people away with the

complaints. Even in congressional hearings it was admitted FDA was

getting so many complaints they were referring them to the AIDS

Hotline. Aspartame experts say the mental hospitals are full of

patients that are only aspartame victims.

I promised to write my story several weeks ago and haven't had time

(with all this healing, LOL)

I am a RN and work in a doctor's office. It all started when a

patient's mother called and refused to give her son a medication for

his asthma, called Singulair, which is a chewable tab and as everyone

knows almost all children's chewables contain ASP and this one was no

exception. As it turns out, the mother herself had been diagnosed

with MS and when she found out about ASP, she quit and within days,

her vision and the use of her legs returned. About 2 weeks later,

one of the other nurses in the office came in

with the "Nancy Markle" letter. When I was first handed the letter,

I said, "Oh, I've heard things about NutraSweet before, but its all

bogus". Later that day, I read the letter and I had never read

anything so profound in my life. Half of the things in the letter

were like reading my history. I was so intrigued I started searching

the Internet and that's when i ran across www.dorway.com and I

started copying all kinds of stuff. I still haven't read a lot of

it, but after about 2 reams of paper I decided I ought to try to get

the "other side of the story", I still didn't want to believe that

the FDA was so corrupt. As a nurse that is VERY hard to accept. I

have to call in medication all the time and now every time I have to

call in Singulair I cringe (but I can't afford to lose my job and

refusing to do my job would be very good grounds for dismissal)

Anyway, my medical history as follows: After my 2nd child I had

about 50 pounds to lose and started drinking diet cola. Shortly

after that, I started taking my first antidepressant and also was

diagnosed with hypoglycemia, I was passing out at work and when i

tested my blood glucose i was consistently getting readings in the

40s and when I had a GTT, I had a 3 hr glucose of 14 (yes 14) and i

drove home from the office where i was being tested with that

number. I felt so awful, but i'm so glad i had something to eat

before I laid down for a nap, I probably wouldn't be here

otherwise. I haven't had a GTT since, I'm terrified to even try, and

now i don't feel its necessary. About 6 months after I started

taking my first antidepressant with little results even with 2 dosage

increases, I had my first visit to the psychiatrist and then shortly

after started psychotherapy, all with little result, just small

patches to the problems. When I got pregnant again, all the

medication was stopped. I lasted almost 18 months after my daughter

was born before i became suicidal and again was back to the

psychiatrist and back on medication ( i had to stop breastfeeding to

start taking the meds) And back in therapy. Then just when i

thought I might have the depression under control, I started getting

chronic daily headaches with migrane type symptoms ( i had photo and

phono sensitivity) I went to the family doctor and was given Inderal

( a blood pressure medication) and gained 10 pounds and still had

headaches. I then went to see a Neuorologist and she did a CT scan

with contrast ( which i was allergic to and had hives) which was

normal. She put me on Elavil (in addition to the other 2

antidepressants I was already taking) and I gained another 20

pounds. I quit taking the meds and the headaches instantly came

back. So I was then given Pamelor and still felt like I was gaining weight.

 

Also in the mist of all of the other symptoms, I was having violent

mood swings, I would feel soooo guilty yelling at my 2 year old

because I couldn't get enough sleep. I also was taking antacids by

the bottle for

constant stomach pain.

 

When I finally stopped using 'diet' products, I was able to quit

taking all but 1 of my medications within about 1 week and have not

needed pain medication in over 2 weeks (i'm just about 30 days off)

 

Now the really bad part, is the number of symptoms on the FDA's list

of 92 that I had in addition to the ones for which I was seeking

help. My hair was combing out in the handfuls (already thickening

and hardly losing any), my brain must of felt 'foggy' for now I feel

that fog has lifted and my memory has greatly improved. I have also

in the last 2 weeks been able to get up not only on time but early in

the morning and have started to exercise. In addition to others, but

the worst one of all, and this one i'm not sure is related but very

well could have been is the last 2 weeks of my 3rd pregnancy (the

only 1 I used aspartame with), I developed VERY high blood

pressure (the highest was 280/160, no joke, the doctor took my

mother in the hallway and asked her if she could handle my husband if

i died) and had to have my labor induced. Also while in the hospital

in labor, my platelets dropped dangerously low (under 30,000 when

normal is between 150,000 and 400,000). This condition is called

PreEclampsia with HELLP syndrome and I was in ICU for 5 days. After

reading all of the information I have so far, I am almost sure it was

probably ASP related also as I was NOT in a high risk group for

developing this condition.

 

I'm VERY sorry this is so long, but I felt like if I can explain

things I makes them more real. I'd be very interested in hearing

other people's storys also. I think the thing I've enjoyed reading

the most on DORway is the case studies. Thanks for listening, gina

My husband went to the doctor today for a check up. His allergies and

asthma are bothering him. The doctor gave him chewable Singulair for

a preventative for the asthma. This stuff has aspartame in it. When I

told the nurse it contained aspartame she said they are going to

cripple us all!

Question on Aspartame and Singulair

bettym19

 

 

Dear Dr. Martini:

 

I found your email address on the internet. Both my husband and I

became very concerned when about 7 or 8 weeks ago our 3 year old son

began having what seemed to be "atonic seizures" where his jaw

relaxed and his head dropped for about 1 or 2 seconds and it always

happened in the morning (we would give him his Singulair chewables at

night before going to bed - he's been taking it for one year

now). The latest he would have a seizure would be around noon time -

but never in the afternoon or evening.

 

We at first did not think they were seizures - we thought that he

might be having reflux coming up although he's never had reflux - so

when we saw no improvement, we took him to the pediatrician last

week. She suggested one of three possibilities - the PANDAS, partial

seizure, or Tourette's Syndrome. She referred our child for a blood

titer test to rule out PANDAS and that came back negative. Next, she

referred our child for both an EEG and a follow up with a neurologist

- but unfortunately, the earliest appointments are for the first week

of December so we will have to wait. So we got very desperate as we

would see more and more of these "seizures" where he would never lose

consciousness but his eyes would roll back and he would have head

drops and would hurt himself continuously on tables etc. We could

not explain why only in the mornings this would happen. So my

husband and I brainstormed and thought of what he took before going

to bed at night - chewable vitamins and Singulair chewables. We

first took him off the vitamins last week but the seizures continued

every morning. Then we started researching on the internet about

Singulair and read of post-market reports of rare instances of

seizures so we took him off Singulair effective last night and this

morning discussed our suspicions over the phone with the

pediatrician. She thought of possibly the aspartame producing the seizures.

 

Dr. Martini, we are not ready to deem ourselves victorious yet and

after much worrying and lots and lots of prayers and just one night

off the Singulair - he only had 1 seizure this morning and it was so

faint/vague! By now he would have had over 15 episodes, but only 1

this morning!

 

Please advise on where we should report this case as we strongly feel

that it is the Aspartame in Singulair and we intend never giving it

to him again. By the way, for the last year, his behavior has been

TERRIBLE - misbehaves, irritable and does not sleep well at night so

we hope this is our solution - taking him off completely.

 

Any feedback would be most appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Lour -

Aspartame Horror Story from Renee Wilson

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 14:02:24 -0500

 

Dear Betty,

 

Thank you for taking time to speak with me and also for forwarding

all the information.

 

I wanted to make sure that you have all the information you need

about my case so here goes...

 

I began ingesting poisonous artificial sweeteners as early 1981 or 82

when RC100 was put on the market. I loved it.

 

In 1986 I began drinking Diet Rite Soda and continued off and on til

just recently when I learned that artificial sweeteners were toxic.

 

In 1987 I became pregnant with my first child. During that pregnancy

I had a urinary tract infection and was given TETRACYCLINE. I also

took IRON SUPPLEMENTS and PRENATAL VITAMINS

 

My daughter was born on February 8,1988.

 

During the times when her vaccinations were given she was also given

TYLENOL INFANT DROPS and later graduating to CHILDRENS CHEWABLE

TYLENOL. She had illnesses as all young children do and was on many

occasions given various prescription and non prescription

medications, this included various brands of CHILDRENS CHEWABLE

VITAMINS. Her general health is OK although her grades are very poor

and she has very poor social behaviors. Too many to list in the

letter. If you'd be interested in that you can let me know.

 

She was diagnosed last year with HYPOKALEMIA. She loves (is addicted

to) junk type foods.

 

In 1989 or 1990 I went to the ER by ambulance for a rapid heart rate

and was told that I had MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE.

 

In 199O I went to the ER because I had been ill for a few days with

feelings of weakness and tiredness and also headaches. I was told

that I had CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROM..

 

I became pregnant in December of 1990 with my second child, Andrew J.

Morgan II. My pregnancy seemed normal and I went to all OB visits

including one when I had to drink an orange concoction to check my

sugar levels. (I think)

 

In August of 1991 I went into pre-term labor and was hospitalized for

a few days and given MAGNESIUM SULFATE. I was sent home with a

prescription of BRETHINE that I was to take for 2 weeks. I did as

directed and I took my Last pill on September 13, 1991. I had my son

at 7:17 AM on September 14, 1991. He weighed 7lb 3oz so I was sent

home in the normal amount of time. Sometime around his second month I

took him to the ER for excessive crying followed by a fever. I was

told that the fever was due to the crying and that he was having gas

problems. I was told to change his formula from ENFAMIL WITH IRON to

NUTRAMIGINE. I was also given a prescription for some type of PINK

LIQUID DROPS for the gas and told to give him TYLENOL INFANT DROPS

for pain. So I took him home and did what I was told . At some point

after that I noticed several times that he would awaken suddenly,

stiffen up, turn very red and stop breathing. When the stiffening

would ease and he would regain his breath he would cry like he was

injured. There was also an occasion when I went to his room to check

on him and he was not breathing. He began to resume breathing after

his crib was shaken abruptly.

 

Right around the time that he was 3 months old he began having

symptoms of a bad cold. I took him to his doctor and while I was

there I expressed my concern about SIDS, I told him about the

episodes that had been taking place at home I also told him that I

had read some information about SIDS. He laughed a bit and then told

me that I had nothing to worry about.

 

The following weekend My son Andrew died at home. His death was ruled

as being a SIDS case and his death certificate says he died of natural causes.

 

In 1994 I went to the doctor several times over a few months for

headaches. I was given several different prescriptions and although

no tests were ran at all I was told the doctor could find nothing to

be causing my pain. I began to think he did not believe me so I just

stopped going. I still have headaches often but I just deal with it.

 

In 1994 I began having spells where my heart would just skip beats. I

went to a cardiologist who ran a few tests. He told me I had MITRAL

VALVE PROLAPSE. I was given a prescription for PROPRANOLOL. The

medication made me irritable so I was switched to CALAN SR. I

remained on the CALAN SR until I became pregnant with My third child

 

In 1996 I found a lump in my right breast and had it removed and

tested. It was benign.

 

In May of 1996 I became pregnant with my (second) Son Zachary. During

my pregnancy I had one illness and was given an antibiotic although I

do not recall which one. I went to all OB visits. I had a normal pregnancy.

 

On February 8, 1997 My third child, Zachary was born. (On my due date.)

 

He was on an APNEA MONITOR for the first several months of his life.

(Only as precaution due to the loss of my second child).

 

Zachary had all of his vaccinations. I also gave him INFANT TYLENOL

DROPS during that time. (For pain/fever)

 

In his early months I took him to the doctor because I thought he

might be having seizures. He was tested for that. No seizure activity

was found. Therefore I am still not sure what caused his bouts of

stiffening and twitching.

 

Also in his early months he was given a LIQUID PRESCRIPTION

MEDICATION for THRUSH. The medication caused him to vomit.

 

There were a couple of occasions when I took him to the doctor for

fever and was told to give him CHILDRENS LIQUID MOTRIN and/or TYLENOL.

 

In 1999 when Zachary was 2 years old he began to have night terrors.

His doctor told me to try antihistamines before bed. I did and the

condition did not change. At that time he was placed on IMIPRAMINE

 

In 1999 I decided to quit smoking and prescribed ZYBAN. I also went

on a DIET so that I would not gain weight. My Diet included the use

of Equal in place of sugar. I used in my coffee, tea, and cereal. I

used anywhere from 50 to 100 packets per week. In a matter of months

I gained nearly 50 lb. I was weak and tired. I would sit around in a

daze. I had no motivation to get up and do anything. I felt

depressed. My hair began to thin.

 

Also in 1999 I was taken by ambulance to the ER when my heart felt

like it "just stopped" and when it started beating again it was

beating very hard and very fast. Over 200 times per minute.

 

I was diagnosed the following week with ATRIO VENTRICULAR NODAL

REENTRANT TACHYCARDIA. (AVNRT)

 

In 2000 when Zachary was 3 he began to stutter to the point that he

could barely speak. I took him to the doctor and was instructed to go

thru the school system for therapy. He was tested for learning

disabilities and IQ tested and scored normal to high in both areas.

He then began speech therapy and was speaking much more clearly

within that school year.

 

In 2000 I went to the doctor because I was having numbness in my

right arm and hand. I was told that I might have MS. I was tested for

that as well as LUPUS and neither were found to be true but the

Doctor stuck with his story that it might be MS.

 

Also in 2000 Zachary began to develop TARDIVE DYSKINESIA. His doctor

said it was from the use of IMIPRAMINE We stopped using it and the

condition has not progressed.

 

2000/2001 Zachary was diagnosed as having NON ALLERGY RHINITIS. The

medications that he has been given for this are:ALLEGRA, SINGULAIR,

ADVAIR, RHINACORT, and ZYRTEC. He has also been given CHLORTRIMITON,

BENADRYL, and SUDAFED.

 

In 2001 I had two more TUMORS removed. One from my right thigh and

the other from my left forearm.

 

Over the past few years Zachary has had bouts of strep and has been

given several different ANTIBIOTICS along with CHILDRENS TYLENOL and

CHILDRENS MOTRIN.

 

When he was prescribed AUGMENTIN it caused him to have DIARRHEA and VOMITING.

 

Last winter (2004) my husband and I both began feeling as though we

were getting a cold. WE went out and picked up some TYLENOL COLD AND

SINUS (the one with the mint flavored coating.) We both took the

medication and within hours we were both bed bound. We felt like we

just couldnt move. I felt like my kidneys were going to explode out

of my back and I had painful urination. He began having a nose bleed

that lasted about 2 weeks. We each only took one dose of the medicine

but we were affected by it a really long time. My husband has not

been ill since Ive known him until taking that TYLENOL COLD MEDICINE

and now I would find it odd to not see him get up every 5 to 10

minutes to blow his nose. He has never gotten over his sinus problem

since that one dose of medicine.

 

Last spring was when I found out by accident that artificial

sweeteners were toxic. I was looking for recipes on line and found an

article about it. I did go thru my house and remove all of things

that had the toxins (the ones that I knew of.) I am obviously still

taking it in somewhere or somehow because I am still losing my hair,

I have numerous tumors in my arms and legs.

 

Still have symptoms of so called Chronic fatigue. I have vision

disturbances. I have trouble falling asleep. I have a lack of concentration.

 

When I see the commercials for Adult ADD I wonder if that is what I have.

 

I dont know if artificial sweeteners in all of the medication I have

listed above but I do know they are present in some of them. I also

have not yet learned everything that the deadly toxins are in but I

am learning them all by name and I am being much more careful than I

ever have been. I really want this stuff out of my system.

 

I hope this information is of value you and that it can be used as

words of wisdom to others.

 

If there is any other way I can I help you please let me know.

 

God bless you and all of your work!

 

Thank you again for everything,

Aspartame in childrens singulair

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 15:43:05 -0500

 

 

My son started on Singulair in Dec.05 and shortly after started

having severe atopic dermatitis involving his entire body, nose

bleeds, vasoconstriction of his entire body causing him to turn pale

white and then purple within a matter of minutes,etc. We found out

in April of this year that the Singulair medication he had gotten for

a one time asthma attack had aspartame in it. He was tested at

University of Miami and found to have the most severe formaldehyde

allergy they had ever seen and to be the most allergy kid they had

ever treated. I have pictures of my son up to Dec. 05 and beyond to

see the dramatic change in his appearance. The best indicator that

Singulair was the culprit is his IgE level was as high as 37,000(an

indicator of allergens in your body) and normal is less than

300. Two months after removing the singulair , his IgE level is

677. That was the only change we had made. A medication that I

thought was helping my son was actually killing him. Have you had

any other reports of this?? I am a nurse in West Palm Beach,Fl. and

I am not going to let this go. My son has been miserable for almost

a year and a half and my family has suffered dramatically due to his

illness and repeat hospitalizations. It has now been three and a

half months, and he is still suffering. He can't be in the sun or

hot weather. He just itches until he bleeds. It's almost as if the

formaldehyde is boiling in his body. He is being tested on Monday

for ethanal, methanol and lactate levels in his blood because I feel

deep down he has a toxin in his body. No one can figure out what is

wrong with him. He has had every test imaginable and they're all

negative. Let me know of anyone else out there with the same

symptoms. I know of two other boys that were on Singulair with the

same exact symptoms. On boy cleared after 3 months of stopping the

singulair. Thank you, Kelly Gio

FDA probes suicide risk in Merck Singulair

29 minutes ago

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health regulators are probing a possible

connection between Merck & Co's Singulair asthma drug and suicidal

behavior, the Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday.

The FDA said it is reviewing the issue after receiving reports of

mood and behavior changes, suicidal thinking and suicide in patients

who took the drug, which is used to treat stuffy nose, sneezing and

other allergy symptoms as well as asthma.

 

The agency did not say how many reports it had received.

 

While no definite link to the drug has been established, the FDA said

it has asked Merck to evaluate its data for more information on the

risk. The agency said it expects it to take up to nine months to

finish its own review.

 

The FDA said it is also reviewing reports of behavioral changes in

patients taking other similar drugs, including AstraZeneca's Accolate

and Critical Therapeutics Inc's Zyflo but has not yet decided whether

further investigation is needed.

 

Merck earlier added information about the risk of tremors,

depression, anxiousness and suicidal behavior to Singulair's label.

 

Representatives for Merck had no immediate comment.

 

Shares of Merck were off 31 cents at $44.39 in morning trade on the

New York Stock Exchange.

i have a cousin that died from siezures due to aspartame. she was addicted to it years ago and wouldn't stop using it.

 

NWRaven <NWRaven"1 @" ; "1 MedicalConspiracies@googlegrou" <MedicalConspiracies (AT) googl (DOT) com>; "1 Paranormal_Research@" <Paranormal_Research >Saturday, March 29, 2008 11:09:37 PM FDA Probes Suicide Risk in Merck Singulair: Aspartame and Singulair Cases

 

 

To FDA:

 

Obviously you know the major problem regarding the epidemic of

suicide. You have 70% of the population using aspartame. The

phenylalanine which is 50% of the molecule is neurotoxic as an

isolate and floods the brain. It lowers the seizure threshold, just

one of the reasons aspartame is a seizure triggering drug, and

depletes serotonin. Lowered serotonin triggers bipolar or manic

depression, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, panic attacks, insomnia,

schizophrenia, hallucinations, etc. To make matters worse aspartame

interacts with all antidepressants. In fact, due to damage to the

mitochondria it interacts with virtually all drugs and vaccines. So

as long as aspartame is on the market people using it and taking

drugs don't have a chance.

 

I can tell you right off there is aspartame in Singulair and

AstraZeneca' s Accolate. To make matters worse aspartame is in many

of these asthma sprays. Aspartame is actually escalating

astham. Below my signature I'm going to add just a few case

histories on Singulair for people to understand what is happening.

 

You know aspartame is an addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug

because your Board of Inquiry revoked the petition for

approval. http://www.mpwhi. com/fda_petition 1.doc We do know it would

never have been marked except for the political chicanery of Don

Rumsfeld when he was CEO of Searle. You know how its destroying the

brains of our children because FDA received Dr. John Olney's report

and agreed with him. http://www.wnho. net/dr_olney1. doc You know

there is a 1000 page medical text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored

Epidemic, www.sunsentpress. com by H. J. Roberts, MD, and that we have

a global epidemic. You know all about excitotoxins - Excitotoxins:

The Taste That Kills by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock,

M.D. www.russellblaylock md.com You have received material for

years from Mission Possible International and ignored it just like

over 100 independent scientific peer reviewed studies showing the

toxicity like the Ramazzini Study showing aspartame to be a

multipotential carcinogen. When Dr. Soffritti did the second one it

showed it only takes a small amount of aspartame to cause cancer, and

if a pregnant woman uses it and the baby survives, it can be passed

to the offspring so when the child grows up she can get cancer. FDA

ignored it. You also know your own FDA toxicologist testified

against FDA in Congress because it causes cancer:

 

 

On August 1, l985 FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told

Congress at least one of Searle's studies "has established beyond ANY

REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors

in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of

extremely high significance. ... In view of these indications that

the cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had been

established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT, one can ask: What is the

reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA to invoke for this food

additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?"

 

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of

cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross

asked, "Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the

FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame

as constituting an allowable daily intake or 'safe' level of it? Is

that position in effect not equivalent to setting a 'tolerance' for

this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA

itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health

of the public?" Congressional Record SID835:131 (August 1, l985)

 

So your original studies showed aspartame causes cancer admitted by

your own toxicologist, and two impeccable Ramazzini studies confirmed

it. It violates the Delaney Amendment and yet you have done nothing

but ignore it. Much has been documented in the FDA audit, Bressler

Report, except for the two mice studies that were so bad FDA deleted

them: http://www.dorway. com/bressler. txt

 

From a press release on the Ramazzini Studies: "The results,

Soffritti said, "call for urgent reconsideration of regulations

governing the use of aspartame as an artificial sweetener.This is

not just an opinion," he said, "but in the United States, it is also

the law." The Delaney Clause of the Food Additives Amendment of 1958

mandates that any food additive shown to cause cancer in people or in

laboratory animals - as demonstrated in rigorous safety tests -

should be considered unsafe by the Food and Drug Administration. "The

law was designed to protect citizens with a zero cancer risk

standard," Soffritti wrote in an e-mail. "Now that aspartame has been

demonstrated to induce cancer in animals, it follows that aspartame

is not safe as a food additive for humans. Human consumers should not

only be warned, but also protected from this risk."

 

FDA has served above the law since Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes became

Commissioner. Here is the newspaper article that explains when it

happened: "The New FDA: Good Medicine for Drug

Firms" http://www.mpwhi. com/the_new_ fda.htm The whole story of how

aspartame got approved is in the documentary, Sweet Misery: A

Poisoned World, www.soundandfury. tv

 

You have ignored my petition for ban of aspartame which by law

requires answering in 180

days: http://www.wnho. net/citizens_ aspartame_ petition. htm It has

been almost six years. The amendment regarding an imminent health

hazard requires answering within a couple of weeks. It was sent to

you last October. http://www.wnho. net/amendment_ to_citizens_ petition. htm

 

Why do you violate the law? Is it because you take money from Big

Pharma and you can't serve two masters? Is it because you don't have

the power? Or is it because you don't have the courage? Since you

have full knowledge of the toxicity of aspartame and the fraud

involved in original studies because FDA asked for indictment of

Searle, you are guilty of the same law FDA used against Searle, Title

18, Section 1001. You tell people its safe with full knowledge its

deadly. Maybe it just boils down to the fact that not any of you

has the courage of a grasshopper, and you turn your heads and allow

millions to die. When I met the researcher of the Trocho Study

which showed aspartame embalms living tissue and damages DNA he said,

"Betty, this can kill 200 million people" I told him it no doubt

already has. Consider the millions of babies murdered in their

mother's womb because aspartame is an abortifacient and

teratogen. Consider the millions using it dying of cancer because

you have ignored the Delaney Amendment. Consider all the fatal

degenerative diseases triggered by aspartame that result in

death. It's pushed on diabetics when, in fact, it not only can

precipitate the disease but simulates and aggravates diabetic

retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes

diabetics to go into convulsions and interacts with insulin.

 

Suicide is rampant and you allow aspartame in drugs with full

knowledge, even in children's products. What does it take for FDA to

act like human beings concerned with safe food and drugs. You

"probe" issues and then ignore them, anything to make Big Pharma

happy. People are actually dropping dead from aspartame while you

gleefully remove ephedra as the cause.

http://www.wnho. net/aspartame_ and_arrhythmias. htm and

http://www.wnho. net/aspartame_ msg_scd.htm

 

Aspartame Disease is one of the greatest scandals in US history, and

no drug on the market is safe as long as somebody is using this

poison. If you have any integrity or human decency answer my letter

and petitions. If you care not for safe food and drugs simply ignore

it like you have the studies that prove its a poison. FDA is

responsible for every single person that dies from aspartame because

you have had every opportunity to recall it and ignored the

issue. When those responsible to solve the problem are the problem

its an abomination.

 

Read on for a few cases on Singulair. The aspartame cases on the

sick and dying never stop, even though FDA turns people away with the

complaints. Even in congressional hearings it was admitted FDA was

getting so many complaints they were referring them to the AIDS

Hotline. Aspartame experts say the mental hospitals are full of

patients that are only aspartame victims.

I promised to write my story several weeks ago and haven't had time

(with all this healing, LOL)

I am a RN and work in a doctor's office. It all started when a

patient's mother called and refused to give her son a medication for

his asthma, called Singulair, which is a chewable tab and as everyone

knows almost all children's chewables contain ASP and this one was no

exception. As it turns out, the mother herself had been diagnosed

with MS and when she found out about ASP, she quit and within days,

her vision and the use of her legs returned. About 2 weeks later,

one of the other nurses in the office came in

with the "Nancy Markle" letter. When I was first handed the letter,

I said, "Oh, I've heard things about NutraSweet before, but its all

bogus". Later that day, I read the letter and I had never read

anything so profound in my life. Half of the things in the letter

were like reading my history. I was so intrigued I started searching

the Internet and that's when i ran across www.dorway.com and I

started copying all kinds of stuff. I still haven't read a lot of

it, but after about 2 reams of paper I decided I ought to try to get

the "other side of the story", I still didn't want to believe that

the FDA was so corrupt. As a nurse that is VERY hard to accept. I

have to call in medication all the time and now every time I have to

call in Singulair I cringe (but I can't afford to lose my job and

refusing to do my job would be very good grounds for dismissal)

Anyway, my medical history as follows: After my 2nd child I had

about 50 pounds to lose and started drinking diet cola. Shortly

after that, I started taking my first antidepressant and also was

diagnosed with hypoglycemia, I was passing out at work and when i

tested my blood glucose i was consistently getting readings in the

40s and when I had a GTT, I had a 3 hr glucose of 14 (yes 14) and i

drove home from the office where i was being tested with that

number. I felt so awful, but i'm so glad i had something to eat

before I laid down for a nap, I probably wouldn't be here

otherwise. I haven't had a GTT since, I'm terrified to even try, and

now i don't feel its necessary. About 6 months after I started

taking my first antidepressant with little results even with 2 dosage

increases, I had my first visit to the psychiatrist and then shortly

after started psychotherapy, all with little result, just small

patches to the problems. When I got pregnant again, all the

medication was stopped. I lasted almost 18 months after my daughter

was born before i became suicidal and again was back to the

psychiatrist and back on medication ( i had to stop breastfeeding to

start taking the meds) And back in therapy. Then just when i

thought I might have the depression under control, I started getting

chronic daily headaches with migrane type symptoms ( i had photo and

phono sensitivity) I went to the family doctor and was given Inderal

( a blood pressure medication) and gained 10 pounds and still had

headaches. I then went to see a Neuorologist and she did a CT scan

with contrast ( which i was allergic to and had hives) which was

normal. She put me on Elavil (in addition to the other 2

antidepressants I was already taking) and I gained another 20

pounds. I quit taking the meds and the headaches instantly came

back. So I was then given Pamelor and still felt like I was gaining weight.

 

Also in the mist of all of the other symptoms, I was having violent

mood swings, I would feel soooo guilty yelling at my 2 year old

because I couldn't get enough sleep. I also was taking antacids by

the bottle for

constant stomach pain.

 

When I finally stopped using 'diet' products, I was able to quit

taking all but 1 of my medications within about 1 week and have not

needed pain medication in over 2 weeks (i'm just about 30 days off)

 

Now the really bad part, is the number of symptoms on the FDA's list

of 92 that I had in addition to the ones for which I was seeking

help. My hair was combing out in the handfuls (already thickening

and hardly losing any), my brain must of felt 'foggy' for now I feel

that fog has lifted and my memory has greatly improved. I have also

in the last 2 weeks been able to get up not only on time but early in

the morning and have started to exercise. In addition to others, but

the worst one of all, and this one i'm not sure is related but very

well could have been is the last 2 weeks of my 3rd pregnancy (the

only 1 I used aspartame with), I developed VERY high blood

pressure (the highest was 280/160, no joke, the doctor took my

mother in the hallway and asked her if she could handle my husband if

i died) and had to have my labor induced. Also while in the hospital

in labor, my platelets dropped dangerously low (under 30,000 when

normal is between 150,000 and 400,000). This condition is called

PreEclampsia with HELLP syndrome and I was in ICU for 5 days. After

reading all of the information I have so far, I am almost sure it was

probably ASP related also as I was NOT in a high risk group for

developing this condition.

 

I'm VERY sorry this is so long, but I felt like if I can explain

things I makes them more real. I'd be very interested in hearing

other people's storys also. I think the thing I've enjoyed reading

the most on DORway is the case studies. Thanks for listening, gina

My husband went to the doctor today for a check up. His allergies and

asthma are bothering him. The doctor gave him chewable Singulair for

a preventative for the asthma. This stuff has aspartame in it. When I

told the nurse it contained aspartame she said they are going to

cripple us all!

Question on Aspartame and Singulair

bettym19@mindspring .com

 

 

Dear Dr. Martini:

 

I found your email address on the internet. Both my husband and I

became very concerned when about 7 or 8 weeks ago our 3 year old son

began having what seemed to be "atonic seizures" where his jaw

relaxed and his head dropped for about 1 or 2 seconds and it always

happened in the morning (we would give him his Singulair chewables at

night before going to bed - he's been taking it for one year

now). The latest he would have a seizure would be around noon time -

but never in the afternoon or evening.

 

We at first did not think they were seizures - we thought that he

might be having reflux coming up although he's never had reflux - so

when we saw no improvement, we took him to the pediatrician last

week. She suggested one of three possibilities - the PANDAS, partial

seizure, or Tourette's Syndrome. She referred our child for a blood

titer test to rule out PANDAS and that came back negative. Next, she

referred our child for both an EEG and a follow up with a neurologist

- but unfortunately, the earliest appointments are for the first week

of December so we will have to wait. So we got very desperate as we

would see more and more of these "seizures" where he would never lose

consciousness but his eyes would roll back and he would have head

drops and would hurt himself continuously on tables etc. We could

not explain why only in the mornings this would happen. So my

husband and I brainstormed and thought of what he took before going

to bed at night - chewable vitamins and Singulair chewables. We

first took him off the vitamins last week but the seizures continued

every morning. Then we started researching on the internet about

Singulair and read of post-market reports of rare instances of

seizures so we took him off Singulair effective last night and this

morning discussed our suspicions over the phone with the

pediatrician. She thought of possibly the aspartame producing the seizures.

 

Dr. Martini, we are not ready to deem ourselves victorious yet and

after much worrying and lots and lots of prayers and just one night

off the Singulair - he only had 1 seizure this morning and it was so

faint/vague! By now he would have had over 15 episodes, but only 1

this morning!

 

Please advise on where we should report this case as we strongly feel

that it is the Aspartame in Singulair and we intend never giving it

to him again. By the way, for the last year, his behavior has been

TERRIBLE - misbehaves, irritable and does not sleep well at night so

we hope this is our solution - taking him off completely.

 

Any feedback would be most appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Lour -

Aspartame Horror Story from Renee Wilson

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 14:02:24 -0500

 

Dear Betty,

 

Thank you for taking time to speak with me and also for forwarding

all the information.

 

I wanted to make sure that you have all the information you need

about my case so here goes...

 

I began ingesting poisonous artificial sweeteners as early 1981 or 82

when RC100 was put on the market. I loved it.

 

In 1986 I began drinking Diet Rite Soda and continued off and on til

just recently when I learned that artificial sweeteners were toxic.

 

In 1987 I became pregnant with my first child. During that pregnancy

I had a urinary tract infection and was given TETRACYCLINE. I also

took IRON SUPPLEMENTS and PRENATAL VITAMINS

 

My daughter was born on February 8,1988.

 

During the times when her vaccinations were given she was also given

TYLENOL INFANT DROPS and later graduating to CHILDRENS CHEWABLE

TYLENOL. She had illnesses as all young children do and was on many

occasions given various prescription and non prescription

medications, this included various brands of CHILDRENS CHEWABLE

VITAMINS. Her general health is OK although her grades are very poor

and she has very poor social behaviors. Too many to list in the

letter. If you'd be interested in that you can let me know.

 

She was diagnosed last year with HYPOKALEMIA. She loves (is addicted

to) junk type foods.

 

In 1989 or 1990 I went to the ER by ambulance for a rapid heart rate

and was told that I had MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE.

 

In 199O I went to the ER because I had been ill for a few days with

feelings of weakness and tiredness and also headaches. I was told

that I had CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROM..

 

I became pregnant in December of 1990 with my second child, Andrew J.

Morgan II. My pregnancy seemed normal and I went to all OB visits

including one when I had to drink an orange concoction to check my

sugar levels. (I think)

 

In August of 1991 I went into pre-term labor and was hospitalized for

a few days and given MAGNESIUM SULFATE. I was sent home with a

prescription of BRETHINE that I was to take for 2 weeks. I did as

directed and I took my Last pill on September 13, 1991. I had my son

at 7:17 AM on September 14, 1991. He weighed 7lb 3oz so I was sent

home in the normal amount of time. Sometime around his second month I

took him to the ER for excessive crying followed by a fever. I was

told that the fever was due to the crying and that he was having gas

problems. I was told to change his formula from ENFAMIL WITH IRON to

NUTRAMIGINE. I was also given a prescription for some type of PINK

LIQUID DROPS for the gas and told to give him TYLENOL INFANT DROPS

for pain. So I took him home and did what I was told . At some point

after that I noticed several times that he would awaken suddenly,

stiffen up, turn very red and stop breathing. When the stiffening

would ease and he would regain his breath he would cry like he was

injured. There was also an occasion when I went to his room to check

on him and he was not breathing. He began to resume breathing after

his crib was shaken abruptly.

 

Right around the time that he was 3 months old he began having

symptoms of a bad cold. I took him to his doctor and while I was

there I expressed my concern about SIDS, I told him about the

episodes that had been taking place at home I also told him that I

had read some information about SIDS. He laughed a bit and then told

me that I had nothing to worry about.

 

The following weekend My son Andrew died at home. His death was ruled

as being a SIDS case and his death certificate says he died of natural causes.

 

In 1994 I went to the doctor several times over a few months for

headaches. I was given several different prescriptions and although

no tests were ran at all I was told the doctor could find nothing to

be causing my pain. I began to think he did not believe me so I just

stopped going. I still have headaches often but I just deal with it.

 

In 1994 I began having spells where my heart would just skip beats. I

went to a cardiologist who ran a few tests. He told me I had MITRAL

VALVE PROLAPSE. I was given a prescription for PROPRANOLOL. The

medication made me irritable so I was switched to CALAN SR. I

remained on the CALAN SR until I became pregnant with My third child

 

In 1996 I found a lump in my right breast and had it removed and

tested. It was benign.

 

In May of 1996 I became pregnant with my (second) Son Zachary. During

my pregnancy I had one illness and was given an antibiotic although I

do not recall which one. I went to all OB visits. I had a normal pregnancy.

 

On February 8, 1997 My third child, Zachary was born. (On my due date.)

 

He was on an APNEA MONITOR for the first several months of his life.

(Only as precaution due to the loss of my second child).

 

Zachary had all of his vaccinations. I also gave him INFANT TYLENOL

DROPS during that time. (For pain/fever)

 

In his early months I took him to the doctor because I thought he

might be having seizures. He was tested for that. No seizure activity

was found. Therefore I am still not sure what caused his bouts of

stiffening and twitching.

 

Also in his early months he was given a LIQUID PRESCRIPTION

MEDICATION for THRUSH. The medication caused him to vomit.

 

There were a couple of occasions when I took him to the doctor for

fever and was told to give him CHILDRENS LIQUID MOTRIN and/or TYLENOL.

 

In 1999 when Zachary was 2 years old he began to have night terrors.

His doctor told me to try antihistamines before bed. I did and the

condition did not change. At that time he was placed on IMIPRAMINE

 

In 1999 I decided to quit smoking and prescribed ZYBAN. I also went

on a DIET so that I would not gain weight. My Diet included the use

of Equal in place of sugar. I used in my coffee, tea, and cereal. I

used anywhere from 50 to 100 packets per week. In a matter of months

I gained nearly 50 lb. I was weak and tired. I would sit around in a

daze. I had no motivation to get up and do anything. I felt

depressed. My hair began to thin.

 

Also in 1999 I was taken by ambulance to the ER when my heart felt

like it "just stopped" and when it started beating again it was

beating very hard and very fast. Over 200 times per minute.

 

I was diagnosed the following week with ATRIO VENTRICULAR NODAL

REENTRANT TACHYCARDIA. (AVNRT)

 

In 2000 when Zachary was 3 he began to stutter to the point that he

could barely speak. I took him to the doctor and was instructed to go

thru the school system for therapy. He was tested for learning

disabilities and IQ tested and scored normal to high in both areas.

He then began speech therapy and was speaking much more clearly

within that school year.

 

In 2000 I went to the doctor because I was having numbness in my

right arm and hand. I was told that I might have MS. I was tested for

that as well as LUPUS and neither were found to be true but the

Doctor stuck with his story that it might be MS.

 

Also in 2000 Zachary began to develop TARDIVE DYSKINESIA. His doctor

said it was from the use of IMIPRAMINE We stopped using it and the

condition has not progressed.

 

2000/2001 Zachary was diagnosed as having NON ALLERGY RHINITIS. The

medications that he has been given for this are:ALLEGRA, SINGULAIR,

ADVAIR, RHINACORT, and ZYRTEC. He has also been given CHLORTRIMITON,

BENADRYL, and SUDAFED.

 

In 2001 I had two more TUMORS removed. One from my right thigh and

the other from my left forearm.

 

Over the past few years Zachary has had bouts of strep and has been

given several different ANTIBIOTICS along with CHILDRENS TYLENOL and

CHILDRENS MOTRIN.

 

When he was prescribed AUGMENTIN it caused him to have DIARRHEA and VOMITING.

 

Last winter (2004) my husband and I both began feeling as though we

were getting a cold. WE went out and picked up some TYLENOL COLD AND

SINUS (the one with the mint flavored coating.) We both took the

medication and within hours we were both bed bound. We felt like we

just couldnt move. I felt like my kidneys were going to explode out

of my back and I had painful urination. He began having a nose bleed

that lasted about 2 weeks. We each only took one dose of the medicine

but we were affected by it a really long time. My husband has not

been ill since Ive known him until taking that TYLENOL COLD MEDICINE

and now I would find it odd to not see him get up every 5 to 10

minutes to blow his nose. He has never gotten over his sinus problem

since that one dose of medicine.

 

Last spring was when I found out by accident that artificial

sweeteners were toxic. I was looking for recipes on line and found an

article about it. I did go thru my house and remove all of things

that had the toxins (the ones that I knew of.) I am obviously still

taking it in somewhere or somehow because I am still losing my hair,

I have numerous tumors in my arms and legs.

 

Still have symptoms of so called Chronic fatigue. I have vision

disturbances. I have trouble falling asleep. I have a lack of concentration.

 

When I see the commercials for Adult ADD I wonder if that is what I have.

 

I dont know if artificial sweeteners in all of the medication I have

listed above but I do know they are present in some of them. I also

have not yet learned everything that the deadly toxins are in but I

am learning them all by name and I am being much more careful than I

ever have been. I really want this stuff out of my system.

 

I hope this information is of value you and that it can be used as

words of wisdom to others.

 

If there is any other way I can I help you please let me know.

 

God bless you and all of your work!

 

Thank you again for everything,

Aspartame in childrens singulair

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 15:43:05 -0500

 

 

My son started on Singulair in Dec.05 and shortly after started

having severe atopic dermatitis involving his entire body, nose

bleeds, vasoconstriction of his entire body causing him to turn pale

white and then purple within a matter of minutes,etc. We found out

in April of this year that the Singulair medication he had gotten for

a one time asthma attack had aspartame in it. He was tested at

University of Miami and found to have the most severe formaldehyde

allergy they had ever seen and to be the most allergy kid they had

ever treated. I have pictures of my son up to Dec. 05 and beyond to

see the dramatic change in his appearance. The best indicator that

Singulair was the culprit is his IgE level was as high as 37,000(an

indicator of allergens in your body) and normal is less than

300. Two months after removing the singulair , his IgE level is

677. That was the only change we had made. A medication that I

thought was helping my son was actually killing him. Have you had

any other reports of this?? I am a nurse in West Palm Beach,Fl. and

I am not going to let this go. My son has been miserable for almost

a year and a half and my family has suffered dramatically due to his

illness and repeat hospitalizations. It has now been three and a

half months, and he is still suffering. He can't be in the sun or

hot weather. He just itches until he bleeds. It's almost as if the

formaldehyde is boiling in his body. He is being tested on Monday

for ethanal, methanol and lactate levels in his blood because I feel

deep down he has a toxin in his body. No one can figure out what is

wrong with him. He has had every test imaginable and they're all

negative. Let me know of anyone else out there with the same

symptoms. I know of two other boys that were on Singulair with the

same exact symptoms. On boy cleared after 3 months of stopping the

singulair. Thank you, Kelly Gio

FDA probes suicide risk in Merck Singulair

29 minutes ago

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health regulators are probing a possible

connection between Merck & Co's Singulair asthma drug and suicidal

behavior, the Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday.

The FDA said it is reviewing the issue after receiving reports of

mood and behavior changes, suicidal thinking and suicide in patients

who took the drug, which is used to treat stuffy nose, sneezing and

other allergy symptoms as well as asthma.

 

The agency did not say how many reports it had received.

 

While no definite link to the drug has been established, the FDA said

it has asked Merck to evaluate its data for more information on the

risk. The agency said it expects it to take up to nine months to

finish its own review.

 

The FDA said it is also reviewing reports of behavioral changes in

patients taking other similar drugs, including AstraZeneca' s Accolate

and Critical Therapeutics Inc's Zyflo but has not yet decided whether

further investigation is needed.

 

Merck earlier added information about the risk of tremors,

depression, anxiousness and suicidal behavior to Singulair's label.

 

Representatives for Merck had no immediate comment.

 

Shares of Merck were off 31 cents at $44.39 in morning trade on the

New York Stock Exchange.
