[quote=Anonymous]I worried about this with my son when we started. He was always in the 10% for height and was very thin. On concerta he lost weight and he definitely seemed to grow more slowly over those years. After two years we took him off (neuropsychologist said he was misdiagnosed) and he gained a massive amount of weight and grew several inches in a short amount of time. He seemed to catch back up to his curve. My DD has definite ADHD and takes Concerta. I worried a little but she can't function without it so we had no choice. It didn't seem to affect her growth at all. She started at 11 (pre-puberty) and has been on for 4 years. She ended up quite tall even though my husband and I aren't. And now that my son is older, he is actually 50% for height. [/quote]
