Suggest Remedy For Obesity From ADHD Medication

My daughter is on oxcarbazepine 300mg. she was taking focalin and adderall because of her ADHD. she has a new doctor and she put her on this medication with her focalin she has gained so much weight now and she is becoming so agitated. I have tried to talk to her doctor and because my daughter is of age she does not want to hear what I have to say. I asked her to review her file she had been on the other meds for over ten years and that was the only way she made it through school. Although she is twenty in age she is just not there yet her mind is still like a child s mind.
