after the meds wear off .help | ADHD Information

i wondered if anyone has any sugestions.when my sons meds wear off [about 5o'clock in the evening]his eating is getting out of hand.he doesnt eat much in the day time due to meds,but he eats his dinner at night then doesnt stop.tonight he has eaten dinner then 2 rounds of toast,a glass of milk,a packet of crisps, another 2 rounds of toast and milk and now he wants more. and its only nearly 8 o'clock at night.its not fruit and healthy stuff he wants.its driving me mad cause my other kids dont understand why hes aloud to eat so much.does anyone have any advice cause i would really appreciate it.First, I'd be happy that your child does eat.  Mine has recently become a little bird since starting a new med. If it were me, I'd let him eat as much as he wants for dinner and a dessert, then maybe one not-so-healthy snack. After that, I'd only give him the option of healthy snacks. When my son was an eater, he was the same way. He'd complain about healthy snacks, but if he was really hungry, he'd eat them. Things like carrot sticks and ranch dip, fruits he likes, etc. were things I'd keep around. If that's not going to work for you, you could also try some recipes from one of those sneaky mom recipe books, like Seinfeld's wife's book. A friend of mine made chocolate chip cookies that had chickpeas in it. Sounds weird, but they weren't that bad.  Good luck!
