[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 121321, member: 4270"] Concerta was the last medication my son was on before I took him off medications. My main issue was the same as yours. He would not eat. He loved to run and play. They did the mile run at school one day and he stopped in the middle and started crying - he said "mommy I just can't". That was because he was not eating and had no energy. It broke my heart. He would sit at the table and pick at his food with his fork, never taking a bite. He was 8 then and on medications for an entire year. After that the following summer the doctor said to take him off for the summer. I did and put him back on them when he went back to school. The following summer doctor said same thing. I took him off and never put him back on them. I couldn't stand it. He would not make eye contact with anyone. It was not easy going through the next few years without medications but we did it. This year he started high school and it's been rough. Finally started him on a natural medication called "Attend". It is working for him with NO side effects. But you know kids are different and what might work for one won't necessarily work for another. Hope you find something that works for your little guy! [/QUOTE]
