[quote=Anonymous]Our DC, 13y old, has been prescribed methylphenidate LA, 20mg. DC is also an extremely picky eater (ARFID-like, but not formally diagnosed) Me and DH are concerned about potential side effects of the meds - impact on appetite and potential addiction to the medicine. I’m not sure how valid our concerns are… grateful if you could share your experience with Ritalin (generic name for the above drug). Many claim that benefits outweigh the costs but is a very hard call in case of a child who struggles to eat a healthy diet, and has a limited list of safe foods… TIA[/quote]
