Seems to me that I've mentioned my experience with agitation and
irritability on this drug, and that I've pointed to askapatient.com
repeatedly to demonstrate the mood and behavioral problems associated
with this drug for years.

Not that the drug is no good, but folks/parents should know what to be
on the watch for and what to report and when to discontinue the drug.

In fact, on alt.support.asthma, other patients on this medication have
reported suffering extreme depression and even paranoia, which resolved
when the medication was stopped.

I took the liberty of cross-posting your message to alt.support.asthma,
for the benefit of others who may not yet have heard about this.
