[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you everyone.  It really helps to hear other people who've gone through similar things with their kids.  And it's good to know it does get better.

DS does (usually) eat every meal but frequently it's only a few bites.  I'm trying to continually offer food to him -- like every few hours.  It's really hard during the week since I'm gone before the kids wake up and then don't see them until I pick them up around 5 or 5:30.  The school he's going to has been a good food influence previously, but the day I picked him up early for his appointment he'd eaten only a small yogurt for lunch.

To PP who suggested not weighing him ... his psychiatrist weighs him every appointment because of medication dosage.  He was ramping up.  We now have 2 months to the next appointment so no pressure .. lol

We did discuss switching to a different norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor without seratonin (Intuiv?)  that should have less affect on his appetite but could make him drowsy.  I hate all this but his ability to cope with things like school is so much better on medication.
