[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 28404, member: 2423"] Karen, my kids have been on Periactin several different times over the years, and we've been told by the prescribing doctors that its effectiveness wears off after about a month. Sometimes doctors do a dosing schedule of a week on and a week off to boost Periactin's effectiveness. Furthermore, Concerta will absolutely kill an appetite regardless of Periactin. My son was very skinny when he was taking Concerta. One other thought is that anxiety can be an appetite suppressor. My daughter (difficult child 2) lost a lot of weight when she was anxious and depressed. Once we got her on the right medications to address her anxiety and depression, her appetite improved. I think you have to look at the food problem as a symptom, one that will improve once the doctors identify the underlying disorder and put the proper interventions into place. The medications don't seem to be making things better so I'd recommend a close look at them. If this psychiatrist is not helping you, it's time to find a new one. [/QUOTE]
