[QUOTE="whateveryousay2007, post: 173389, member: 4265"] He hardly ate before the medications started. BUT...of all the medications they've tried him on Focalin has been a Godsend! Enormous results as far as attention goes. Without the moodiness & aggitation that Adderall caused. So, with that being said his teacher saw him last night at TKD. We were talking about his eating not picking up. Lack of him avoiding food...unless it's what he demands at the moment. (odd demands that can't always be accomidated at the moment....he'd rather go hungry than eat what's available!) Anyway, she told him that they give shots to people that don't eat. Does he really want to be pumped full of vitamins instead of eating? She told him she knows what it's like not to be hungry but you still have to eat anyway. (From what I've gathered his teacher was anorexic when she was younger...she's kinda little now) That she was going to pick him up for breakfast every morning if he doesn't start eating better. That she wants him to eat and grow tall! The child wanted Subway after class. He ate an entire bacon footlong! Shocked me! We've also come to the agreement that he has to eat breakfast before he's allowed to play the gameboy. He has to eat lunch before he's allowed to play with his cars & so on. I feel kinda bad for threatening to take away some of his livelihood but he has to eat. So far it's working. by the way....I've also found that he does eat a little better later in the day after medications have wore off. But still very small quantities! [/QUOTE]
