[quote=Anonymous]Two kids on ADHD meds for 8+ years. Both had an initial drop in weight and then it leveled off after the first 6-9 months. They are now both in the 50th percentile for weight and Kid 1: Eats a HUGE breakfast every morning before meds kick in and then eats around 5 and snack around 9. Eats a wide variety of foods. Kid 2: Often doesn't eat anything till 3-4pm (huge meal) and then eats another huge meal 9/10ish. Has a very limited array of foods he will eat (this was true prior to meds.) The benefits of the meds far outweigh the crazy eating patterns. They both went to failing middle school to 4.1 GPA in HS and are now both at a T50 school doing well. I anticipate they will need it for their rest of their lives....just like insulin or any other med.[/quote]
