Raising California: Singulair

This is an alert to EVERYONE who has allergies/asthma, but I especially want to inform parents with children who have allergies and/or asthma(because parents are often the last to know). The FDA has updated the SIDE EFFECTS of this "miracle" drug to include:

TREMORS
ANXIOUSNESS
DEPRESSION
SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR

California was prescribed this to control his asthma at the age of 2 even though his allergist determined that he didn't have allergies. He refused to take it and I didn't trust this drug for some reason. I had no reason NOT to trust it but something inside me told me not to give it to him. I am so glad that I didn't!

No one knows her age. She was born in Missouri but fits in better in California :) Daddio is from Illinois and Missouri...he says he is 45 because he always rounds up to the nearest 5th. L.A. Mama got the idea for the title of this blog from the movie "Raising Arizona". It is a comedy about a free spirited couple who kidnaps a baby and attempt to be "good" parents. Nick Cage and Holly Hunter played the "adoptive" parents in the movie. It is cute.
