[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is 16 and we finally stopped the meds after 8 years. We did: Focalin Ritalin Metadate Straterra Vyvanse Jornay Concerta Guanfacine Nothing seems to have done a thing really. She’s pretty inattentive and has had periods of a lot of dysregulation. We also did Zoloft, Abilify, and Effexor. She gained 60 pounds in 4 years of experimenting with those. She’s now obese, off of everything, pretty regulated and doing fairly well in school. We are about a month off of everything.[/quote] I thought stimulants decreased weight? [/quote] I think it was the SSRI that initially caused the weight gain, and her her the stimulants did not act as an appetite suppressant for her. Now she’s on nothing but Guanfacine and still gaining weight. So I don’t know.[/quote]
