[quote=Anonymous]We haven't found a stimulant that doesn't suppress my son's appetite. He is less than 1% for height and weight but since his ADHD is so severe that he legitimately cannot function without the meds, we are in a no-win situation. We feed him a protein-filled breakfast, send him a lunch to school that he eats at aftercare around 4:30, has dinner around 6:30, a second dinner around 7:45 and usually another snack around 8:30. It's like his appetite comes back full force and he makes up the day's calories in four hours. As far as sleep disruption, ours suffers from inability to fall asleep with or without meds so we give a melatonin (per doc) and hope for the best. [/quote]
