Oh, couldnt you just adapt your diet/ take more exercise rather than mess around with funny pills?

Dex is probably bad for muscles too.  I read that it raises cortisol, which breaks down muscle.

I would expect that, but fight it with exercise.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I'v noticed no loss of appetite since I started ritalin and my daughter eats quite normally for a teen despite her Concerta dose.
Concerta? Are you saying your daughter is a music fan or is it another med?

Yes and yes, Concerta is sustained release ritalin.  She takes it once in the morning and it's supposed to last at least till she's done her homework.  And yes, she is quite the music fan, taking guitar lessons, even writing songs, and she loves all sorts of music.  The ritalin does help tremendously with her focus in school and with her music concentration.

Is your daughter an NT, sounds like she does plenty of NT stuff?

No, she's officially dx'd AS and ADD.  She's aspie thru and thru.  Magnificent Obsessions, socially clueless, pretty disorganized, easily distracted, very loyal, couldn't tell a lie to save her soul, but, she tries her damned hardest to figure things out! :green:

Hmm, its just the music that made the think otherwise. As for not being able to lie, i wouldnt consider it an aspie trait, just that we have to learn the skill in a different way.

You could get a good cross trainer for under £100 if you looked wisely enough. In the long run it would cost you nothing because you wouldnt have to pay prescription charges for you Ed med. As for moving it, its more exercise  ;)
