[quote=Anonymous]DD8 has been on Concerta for about 9 months and the eating has been a BIG issue. She was very thin to begin with, and Concerta only made matters worse. I found that she gets hungry at unusual times, so I no longer fight the eating battle at regular mealtimes knowing that in an hour or so she'll be hungry (and it's not within her control to be hungrier earlier). She picks at her packed lunch then eats it when she gets off the bus at 4. Eats dinner a little on the late side and then invariably wants a snack right before going to bed (and usually after having brushed her teeth, of course). She doesn't like cheese or whole milk, sadly, but she'll eat bananas cut up with Nutella, and eggs, and is pretty good with vegetables. I also cut her dose occasionally and make it an eating-focus day, where she can call the shots on menus and restaurants. I also don't sweat the more-than-occasional ice cream treat.[/quote]
