[quote=Anonymous]As far as the weight issue, my daughter has been in a similar boat while taking first Vyavanse then Concerta. Her pediatrician encourages her to drink Boost or Ensure for the protein and calories when her appetite is suppressed by the medication. 240 calories and 15 gram of protein in each drink so it is like a meal in a bottle. Usually my daughter has been compliant in drinking the drinks in lieu of forcing down a full meal. Her medication also begins wearing off by 3pm, so she eats a large snack/small meal when she gets home from school then a full dinner 2-3 hours later. These strategies have helped her maintain a healthy weight and keep a balance diet.[/quote]
