Concerta | ADHD Information

ok. so i'm an 8th grader who takes 72mg of concerta daily, and it works, but onnly for focusing. I'm never hungry, which is a problem because i'm almost 14 and i'm only like, 96 pounds. If its a weekend or a day where i'm not doing anything, i dont take it, and i'll eat everything in sight! but no there arent many of those days now for me, so i dont know what to do. I either have to forfeit hunger for sanity, or vice versa. and when i don't take it, i get pretty insane. so are there any solutions? one good thing that comes out of it for me at least is the fact that Red Bull has no effect on me, so i can drink a lot of it, but thats just about it

help!!

My son is 12, takes 90mgs of concerta. he also takes guanfacine for anxiety, helps keep him calm, relaxed. I also think it helps him to eat. He eats lunch at school and dinner. If he is home, lunch is late afternoon and dinner is later, like after 7-8pm.

Ask your doctor about it, if you think it could help.
