[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 545736, member: 11791"] Handing books to "problem" family members to read is worse than an exercise in futility... if they actually read it, they mis-interpret the contents, and assume that the worst-case scenarios are what is going to happen to your kid... Gah! ADHD medications and weight gain... Yes, those stims can suppress appetite. Rather than going off the medications completely in the summer, have you tried: 1) a lower dose for the summer (still getting some benefit) 2) significantly increasing the size of breakfast 3) asking about an additional medication that may both help some of his other issues AND have "weight gain" as a side-effect (been there done that with success, based on a stimulant plus an AP) [/QUOTE]
