[QUOTE="EndangeredCheerleader, post: 580288, member: 15279"] Regarding the weight gain and hunger, what medication(s) is difficult child taking for seizures? Have you made any adjustments to those recently? Seizure medications are notorious for causing weight gain. My daughter experienced insatiable hunger on abilify. She was more annoyed by that side effect than the one which caused me to pull her off the medication (motion sickness?!). Teen girls do not take to weight gain kindly, even if they need the extra 10 lbs. My aspergers son has a former classmate whose medication combo seems to be causing a food obsession. The kid constantly talks about food. As you serve him lunch, he begins discussing dinner. It is wild. I love when he comes over and eats up snacks none of my kids like from multipacks- grape popsicles, cheetos, raisen granola bars. If you lived near me, I'd totally invite you guys over :-). I'm suprised your difficult child was prescribed Vyvanse. In my experience something like klonopin or risperidone is usually the 'go to' for children with rage episodes like you describe. Especially for a child with a sleep disturbance. Why prescribe a stimulant? Oy. Let us know how the neuro went. [/QUOTE]
