Ok, posting this on a fluke here, in case someone else has it as well.

 

Ok, I know I posted earlier in Health and Healing about GERD and med problem (ped when renewing the RX for Prevacid, only put down 1x a day, whereas we were discharged on 2x a day; and they filled it with generic TEVA brand lansoprazole rather than name brand).  We did get it fixed on the dosing, but no one contacted us back till Monday.  So, for Fri, Sat, and Sun we only did one dose.  Let's say it was a long weekend especially Sunday night.  We have been on the generic since 1/8.

 

But right now, he is starting display a lot of the things he did before...wont stay on his back at all for diaper changes, pulling his feet up under him and bucking up; wont stay on back in general either while awake.  Constantly needing to be held.  Refusing to nurse.  Not sleeping well at night -- and when he does get into a confortable position, it is stretched out, head flexed backwards.  Screaming in his carseat at times.  Starting to do a bit of the back arching...but not completely there...

 

Also, he constantly sucks his fingers, has since this whole GERD thing started about 3 months of age.  Never before did he suck his fingers...

 

Possible damage from 3 days on 1/2 normal dose or could the generic just not be working/controlling it as well...or could it be something else....
