What Causes Lack Of Appetite After Taking Dexmethylphenidate?
Hi I have a 17 year old son that is taking dexamethylphenidate 30mg xr and has been for quite a few years. He doesn t want to take it anymore because he says he doesn t have an appetite after he takes it. Is there any other medication he could take for his ADD that would not cause the depressed appetite?

Dear parent,
your concern is right. But in this case I will prefer to take the child to the treating physician, who will evaluate and prescribe what ever is needed. These medicines shall always be taken on prescription.
