I've posted on here before about this drug (used to treat Asthma and allergies predominantly). We have had a very bad experience with it and I wanted to raise awareness of the awful side effects.
I got a lot of the "well I'm alright Jack" type comments. But I also got a lot of "Oh my god. Everything has just suddenly made sense" messages as people were realising that their / their childs mental health, anxiety, depression etc was potentially down to this. That's all I wanted to do.
Well good news, in the USA today the FDA have announced they're going to be putting a black box warning on the outer packet to warn of the side effects, since their studies on rats have realised that this medicine does actually cross into the brain, therefore almost having the ability to 'rewire' certain parts. The damage it does is often irreversible.
Here is hoping the UK follow suit very soon.
