Our son is not on adderall, but we make sure that he gets a very good breakfast before he gets his morning meds, he eats light during the day, but is usually very hungry by the end of the day. We also let him have a snack before bed.
We have tried the Carnation breakfast drinks, but he got bored with them. If I have time I make him eggs for breakfast, and if we have sausage/bacon from the weekend that give him lots of calories to start the day. We also switched him from skim back to 2% milk.
Good advice with the milk. I went back to WHOLE milk for my dd. She wouldnt drink the low fat, only in cereal and if you added chocolate. Now that she is getting whole she drinks 2-3 glasses per day, plus her cereal. Lots of calories there!
My son is on Adderrall and is having trouble with weight. He only lost a pound, however, I am concerned about him growing and not gaining weight. Any ideas on how to get the child on Adderrall to eat more. I just end of shoving food at him when he is hungry. However, that is not a great long term plan.
Is he on Adderall XR, the time released form? If so, you may want to switch to staight Adderall. That way, when the drug wears off about 4-5pm he will get his appetite back.
