[QUOTE="Karen & Crew, post: 31734, member: 3504"] I remember someone mentioning that about the Periactin. He went all weekend without it simply because I forgot to pack it in the bag to take camping. I guess it takes more than 2 days because he didn't seem to have an increased appetite when he was put back on it Monday. His psychiatrist did comment y'day that she was keeping a very close eye on the weight issue and if he had lost anymore when he comes back in two weeks she'll most likely refer for more aggressive interventions there. He did eat really well last night (fast food because it was Cub Scout night) but he had a half of 1 pop-tart this morning. [img]:frown:[/img] I totally agree on the sensory food aversions and I've been trying to get a doctor to listen to me on that one for 7 years (the food aversions were very evident before he was a year old!) but because he's growing and meeting milestones I just keep getting hit with the "he'll grow out of it eventually" line. I'm so frustrated I told my Mom I wasn't even going to bring it up with the doctors anymore. I'll keep trying to coax him into drinking the nutritional supplements and eat the meal replacement bars whenever I can and just have it noted on his chart he's on an appetite stimulant. That was when DCFS comes after me for neglect I have a history of concern documented in his file along with notes about the doctor feeling it wasn't an issue. Oh, and yes, the ultimate goal is to get him off all stimulants. psychiatrist just wants to make sure that the SSRI is working before Difficult Child'ing them. [/QUOTE]
