Jac, we had the same problems...our GP, ECN and paediatrician all said that DS didn't have reflux yet he was SCREAMING the place down after every feed, wouldn't sleep, was generally unhappy almost all of the time and was throwing up lots. Finally the paediatrician diagnosed reflux (around 12 weeks I think) and put him on Losec. Things changed after that...it's AWESOME stuff!!! We just dissolve the tablets and use an eye dropper to feed it to him...after a month or two he started taking it quite easily and now he opens his mouth ready for it.
Recently the paediatrician told us to take him off it (because "they tend to grow out of it by 6 months") but all those horrible symptoms came back...needless to say, he's back on the tablets again.
I was in tears every day until the Losec started working and no one seemed to understand how bad it was... I am STILL jealous of babies who sleep heaps (DS still isn't a great sleeper but he is better) and particularly of young babies that can be put down to play quietly by themselves then put themselves to sleep on the floor... It's just such a bizarre thought since we never had that.
Good luck, I hope that something works for you soon!!!! You're not alone in this 'fight' although sometimes it feels that way... And I know it doesn't help now, but it WILL get better eventually.
