Stopping - and feeling like garbage

How long did it take you to feel less hungover after stopping viibryd? For context, I only took it for three days, but had unbearable GI side effects and had to stop. The last dose was 72 hours ago. I know MMV, but I have to be through the worst of it now, right?

Edit for typo.

6-year-old having social issues

Stick with me…this is a long one and probably not what you think by the title.

A little back-story: we’ve been on a multi-year journey to get my daughter’s diagnosis. After lots of advocating for her and getting the pediatrician to agree her emotional dysregulation is not developmentally appropriate, we had her in for testing in June. We were not surprised at her ADHD (both hyperactive and inattentive) diagnosis. She’s been doing ok at school.

We’ve been doing all the right things at home(she’s been in OT for several months already), we’re using rewards, chore charts, sticking to routine, minimal screen time, getting plenty of sleep. Because it seems she’s had a pretty good handle on things outside of the house, we were going to let the summer ride before seriously considering medication before going back to school.

We’ve noticed some social issues during her most recent play dates. As a result, we’ve changed our mind on meds and are waiting for an appointment mid-July. I think this will help her immensely with some of her social challenges.

Today, she came home from camp elated to spend some time with her best friend from school who also happened to be at the same camp this week. They haven’t seen each other since school let out because the friend’s mom is not replying to me. Said friend told my daughter today that her mom is not responding to me because she thinks my daughter is mean. She’s a big feeler and certainly has her moments of dysregulation, but she has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever been around.

How would you handle the situation? This is all information received from whisper down the line with a couple of six year olds, so I’m trying to take it with a grain of salt. My intuition is telling me there is truth behind what was said by my daughter’s friend. I’m hurt for my daughter, and a bit angry (assuming this is all true). The girls get along great most of the time and my daughter really values this friend, I don’t want to compromise their friendship.
