[QUOTE="Holliewho, post: 164922, member: 5426"] Nobody touched on this but this is one thing I did learn. If your child has lost weight and is not eating after being placed on ADHD medications... you NEED a different medication. That medication is NOT working for your child. Your doctor should have picked up on that and you shouldnt have to ask for it, but if they havent you need to say something. I know for us our difficult child had to be weighed in at every meeting and when she was trying a new medication she had to be seen every two weeks instead of the once monthly when she was stable. So if your child is more irritable, not eating, having more meltdowns its time to try a different drug. Sometimes if they are on the sustained release or extended release stuff it doesnt work as well or vice versa. For us my difficult child cannot take the ER/SR stuff it does not work at all for her.
