[quote=Anonymous]My kid went on stimulants at 5 and immediately dropped 10lbs (within 3 months). It got the point I was scared looking at his bones poking out and the pediatrician/specialist agreed and put him in Cyproheptadine as others have said. My son also has severe food allergies so feeding him peanut butter sandwiches among other things are not options for us. The cyproheptadine has brought him up to a reasonable weight and we still do all the things to give him as many calories as possible. Basically whatever he wants to eat, we let him eat even if it means extra sugar and sweets. Don’t get me wrong, I still serve him vegetables and fruit because I want him to understand that is part of a balanced meal, but I also give as many extra calories in as many ways I can.[/quote]
