Dr’s stopping his meds | ADHD Information

Hi i haven't logged on for ages so here's a big hello to everyone!!!

We recentley took my son for his checkup and his doctor told us that unless he put weight on in the next 3months she would stop all meds!!! Just the thought of this and i cry! ( god i'm soft). I told the doctor that all the men my side of the family are skinny and can't put weight on and my son takes after his uncle. He has never had a brill diet anyway and chooses only to eat certain foods (mainly chips and cheese!)So we bit the bullet and when his meds ran out that month we didn't remind corey to take the next lot (maybe stupid for this but we knew he wouldn't gain weight, this way it was our decision) We had a great 2wks during the hols corey even wanted to join us in day which is a first!!!!!! But on sunday  it all kicked off just because he was asked to cut the grass! I totally lost it with him and ended up giving him a slap. My husband wanted him back on the meds but coery so doesn't want to take. Since sunday he hasn't been to bad i suppose, just a normal 15yr . Corey decided that he wanted back in school(hasn't been for a yr due to the way he treats the teachers)So i meeting is being arranged with school through his councellor he has seen once!!! after 2yr wait!! Much to our horror as we know coery want last a day!!

Sorry i've gone on,  i just need to vent, i've no one else who understands living ADHD

 

Try the vitamins/minerals maybe they will help more. If he is a  picky eater he needs these anyhow. Thanks ivanhoe but we've tried these and he refuses to take them after a couple of daysGive him a chance maybe he will surprise you, lets keep our fingers crossed.Have you tried stuff like ensure?  I've heard you can make a good shake from that stuff. Thanks for that tip Foxdud. My daughter is very thin and the doctor has very little leaway on her weight (~58 lbs for an 10 year old and still wears childrens size 6 pants). She took over a month off concerta to gain weight and only gained 2lbs (which is normal fluctuation). That was having chocolate chip cookie dought ice cream after 2-3 meals every day (1/2 gallon every 2-3 days). I will be struggling to make sure she does not lose weight once she starts back on the concerta.

hi i am new here and have two children that have been seen for add/adhd my daughter who was 22 back in june is still a child because of the efect that add and her learning dificulty and has behavioural problems,has had on her she is only 4ft 8 but her father is only 5ft well you say about sons weight, daughter was on ritilin up untill she was nearly 16 she was then still wearing childrens clothes,

but as they dont like prescribing ritilin or even concerta to adults she had to stop her meds since stopping ritilin she went up to 11stone,

npw shes overweight , the meds used for add/ adhd sometimes effect the appittie, my daughter started taking ritilin at roughly the age 8,

 my son is now 15 and is adhd he has been on ritilin since 3yrs old and started taking concerta at the age of 11 he has odd days with out concerta to give his body a rest on the days he doesnt take concerta i give him 1 10mg tab of ritilin to take the edge of and on these days his appetite cant be satisfied he is still a very skinny boy

hope this puts your mind at rest

Here is a thought I myself give it to my 2 kids weight lifters and body builders take it to gain lbs. can you guess what it is???

 

 

Baby formula thats right i said baby formula buy the powder similac with or without iron mix 3 or 4 scoops with some milk and icecream and choco syrup i use ovelteen its healthyr the kids dont even know its in there its almost tastless and not gritty either like the proten shakes from GNC, Its a little known secret, but once you think about it it makes perfect sence the stuff is packed with callories to make baby gain weight. Works for my kids.
