[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 167944, member: 1991"] With time, once the doctor is confident what dose seems to be best for her, he may put her on a long-acting form of ritalin such as Concerta. This smooths out the highs and lows over the day. It can also mean a lower dosage (in our experience) which can also make it easier to get food into them. I found that I had more food available to shovel into them before medications were on board (such as breakfast) and from late afternoon, as the medications wear off (even long-acting). A friend of mine whose daughter had no appetite and no strength to eat (muscular dystrophy) would follow the little girl around with food and take every opportunity to shovel in another spoonful. It's maybe not conducing to teaching good table manners, but it kept her food intake up. The yoga is a brilliant idea, and it sounds like things are changing positively in your household. Well done!
