[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is on an stimulant that suppresses his appetite. That said, he has been on it so long that he eventually just worked it out.  He has a very large breakfast before he takes the meds, he basically skips lunch, and eats a large dinner and then a big "extra dinner" late at night - maybe 10 or 11.  At first, it drove my DH crazy but this is just what works for him.  His diet is pretty healthy and good - as long as good food is available when he is hungry - and really he doesn't eat much between 10 and 6 -- and if so, it's just preferred or junk food. But the rest is fine and he is skinny but normal - not too thin.[/quote]

Same. DS lost a bunch of weight when he first started Vyvanse, but it leveled out now that he has been on it for years. Like PP, he eats a gigantic breakfast (this morning 4 eggs, 3 turkey bacon, 5 pancakes, strawberries and milk at 6am) but he probably won't eat again until 5-6pm tonight. He does carry a protein bar with him in case he gets hungry.

Other DS lost a ton of weight on Concerta but it has also leveled out. He isn't much of a breakfast eater (will typically have a protein drink and fruit), but will get hungry at 5ish - eat a ton then...and then again around 10p. [/quote]
