[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 31721, member: 2423"] Karen, I think I mentioned to you that the effects of Periactin often wear off. So some docs recommend a week on and then a week off to boost its effectiveness. You might want to consult a gastroenterologist about this type of dosing. They use Periactin frequently in their practice. Also, are you getting rid of the Concerta? That, too, should help with appetite and decrease his anxiety. If you don't meet with any success, you may need to consult a psychologist or psychiatrist who has expertise in feeding disorders. It sounds as if your son has major sensory food aversions (and yes, these kids are typically very anxious). It takes a special kind of therapeutic intervention. We went to a feeding disorders specialist at Children's Hospital in Difficult Child for easy child because she developed a choking phobia and refused to eat anything at all. It's important not to let food issues spin out of control. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
