[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 543496, member: 8831"] definitely track it, but i tend to agree its not really related to what he's eating. we had the same effect with weight neutral my foot abilify. in our case, going gluten free seemed to have done wonders, but we did it for a diagnosed medical reason, not just to deal with the weight. but since you did mention adhd..... there is a school of thought that involves using stims to counter the weight gain--because a known side effect is weight [I]loss[/I]....usually lowish doses. some people use other types of medications to counteract the weight issues as well--one whos name escapes me right now, maybe metformin or something like that, is used as well. personally i think its a very hard call--but if it were me, i'd start asking around if there is something you could add on to counteract the side effect before it really gets out of control.
