[QUOTE="MrsJarheadSM, post: 472886, member: 12916"] The sleepiness and weight-gain side effects we were forewarned about. We do have a pretty good schedule set up for meals and such so mostly we can moniter it. husband has a harder time than I do with telling her she can't have more breakfast/dinner/snack etc but he's getting better. At some point he said "well, the doctor said the medicine will make her hungry" ....response " yes, but that doesn't mean we need to keep feeding her". I appreciate all the support (and the tip for the "zero calorie" foods, though I don't want to get her into the habit of munching all of the time as she's a "bored eater" already and struggled with eating habits as a kid due to her ADHD)! I know you've all been down this blurry, winding road or are on it yourselves right now. She's *only* taking 4mg/day at the moment and we won't be able to up it anymore due to the sleepiness so I'm not sure how long it will last before her body gets used to it. Would her body get used to the sleep factor as well? [/QUOTE]
