[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 491818"] How old is your son? When difficult child started on Risperdone a year ago the doctor said that hunger and weight gain were a side effect. Since difficult child was about 70 pounds soaking wet at the time it was not really a huge concern for me. He has gained weight, but by just looking at him you would never know, but in the last few months the hunger things has cropped up. For us, I think it's a combination of the medications and the fact that he's 12, going on 13, and he is getting into that teenage boy eat mom out of house and home stage. I think that the best thing that you can go is make sure that he has good things to eat. Granold bars, fruit (if he will eat it), yogurts. That's what I try to do and it seems to have helped, but he is hungry ALOT. Sorry I don't have any better advice. [/QUOTE]
