[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd has always been skinny and needs stimulants for ADHD. She’s in the 60th % for height, but only 2nd % for weight. I requested cyproheptadine to help stimulate her appetite and get her to eat more. It helps, but she needs occasional breaks from it because she builds up a tolerance. Because she’s so thin, I haven’t given her stimulants on weekends and only give her a half dose during the summer months. She’s 17 years old, 5’5”, and still hasn’t hit 100 lbs.[/quote] NP. I do not have ADHD, was 5'5" in 6th grade and didn't hit 100 lbs until college. Some people are skinny. [/quote] That’s true, but when a child is already naturally skinny and then you give them a daily appetite suppressant, you worry that you’re making them even skinnier than they would be naturally. I’m fine with dd being skinny. My goal isn’t to make her gain weight. I’m just trying to keep her from losing weight.[/quote]
