Also I prefer to say that, rather than lessening his appetite, the medication delays his appetite. He eats little during the day but is hungry from about through to 9 at night. At home the effects of being on the medication were subtle. He still gets some headaches now and then and he still had some appetite loss but it works better than the previous medication that we tried before.
He is well behaved at school. He is happy overall and doing better about completing homework. But he becomes overwhelmed easily with school work. He has no appetite during the day. He has trouble settling down for the night. He is grinding his teeth terribly in his sleep. She still eats a decent breakfast and dinner. No sleep issues on this medication. Mainly, it helps her focus to complete tasks. It decreased her appetite for a month, but then that symptom faded significantly.
She has some rebound effect when it wears off. It works for about 6 hours every day. As he grew, we again had to increase the dosage to achieve the needed behavior control.
As the dosage increased, he became more irritable and angry, and this resulted in an increase in physical aggression, so we switched to Vyvanse. It also lasted entire day without needing a booster dose until he became a teen.
Unfortunately, he also becomes extremely withdrawn and meek when on this medication not his typical personality! So, many years later a new doctor that we met with added Sertraline to his regimen, and this made a HUGE difference! She had a hard time sleeping, and would sleep very little once on it.
She seemed very muted, and lacking emotion. My son used to take 3 hours to do one page of homework, get in trouble for classroom disruptiveness, and be behind in reading.
It did ruin her appetite though and she started losing weight. We would take breaks so she could eat more.
