[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 170102, member: 1233"] GERD and allergies run hand in hand according to our allergist (very highly regarded, tops in the state, excellent with kids!). And allergies can cause many of teh behaviors you are seeing, though very few docs, even allergists, will tell you this. Many of the psychiatrists we ahve seen even say this isn't true. But it is. And there is research to prove it. I think the journal is an excellent idea. At ehr age, it will be attributed to her age or parenting or overreacting mom. But follow your instincts. Even if she is your only child, your instincts will tell you if there is a problem. And when it comes to a child, the only true experts are that child's parents, esp the mom (yes, this is chauvinistic, but moms often are more tuned to a child. I think it is a partly a due to biology and preservation of the species, partly due to carrying the child inside mom's body for 9 months, but this is just in my opinion.). it may take trials on a number of different medications to treat your depression. What is right for one is not right for another. Maybe trying one of the older medications would help. For each medication you take, please google "medicine name withdrawal" because many of the medications have very nasty withdrawals and you should be informed. For me, effexor had the worst withdrawal, lasting months, but for others it was a diff medication. I would ahve your child evaluated by a developmental pediatrician. It may take weeks or a couple of months to get in after you schedule, so get scheduled as soon as you can. Then you can work on the journal while you wait to be seen.
