But I'm not trying to. I'm skinny enough. I'm losing weight because of the Concerta (which I take for ADD).

I was about 102-104lbs back in May 2006.. After band camp I weighed 97 lbs, but right before I went back on teh medz, I weighed about 101.

Now I'm 98 lbs. Which is not good at all. :(

Is there any ways to gain weight, or am I doomed to my Concerta-induced anorexia forever?

sure, eating more comes to mind. trie to remain healthy though.
also weigtlifting and stuff, but i don't think you want that.
and normally you should gain weight when you get older.

Pancake, dear ... 1) talk to your parents and 2) go to your doctor. Now.

If you can, talk to your doctor and tell them the problem, especially if you think this med's side effects are causing you to lose weight unnecessarily.

Pork pies, deep fried in lard.

I prescribe (as a thoroughly unqualified non-medical non-doctor) two of the large, party-sized ones (at least 1lb each in weight) prepared like this, per day, until you see some improvement in your condition :)

When I first started taking an antidepressant I lost 8kg (16 pounds) in 4 weeks.
I simply wasn't hungry at all and that wasn't a very healthy way of improving my health, so I switched medication.

Maybe you can switch to another drug as well that has less side-effects?

Other than that - may I suggest that you give yourself a daily treat of Ben & Jerry's half-baked Ice Creams or something like that?

It'd be a real shame to see such a nice lady like yourself turn down skinny road.

:fluffle:

best advice.

your doctor may have a different Med that won't cause weight loss.

Unfortunately, that's the problem. Concerta suppresses my appetite, so I basically have to force myself to eat. And when I force myself I can't eat too much or I feel sick.

...
You're a freshman?


I say eat like I do. I eat until I'm full, and then eat some more. That should put some meat on them bones.
EDIT: Oops, serves me right for not reading. Yeah, see if you can get your meds changed if it's really bothering you. Or become a supermodel. They do like the skinny ones.

I heard semen is full of calories *flees over fence and some hedges*

Eat multiple small meals throughout the day instead of three big ones. Drink things like carnation instant breakfast and those yogurt smoothies.

my friend was born underweight...


the prescribed solution? Beer.

yep, the doctor prescribed beer to a baby...


he's in his 40's now...

Maybe if you eat some SPAM, you can gain weight. I hear that SPAM helps many people gain weight, so thus you should eat SPAM. Mmmm. SPAM.

Does your doctor know about this? To my mind, this is not an acceptable side effect. You should tell him so he can try another med or adjust the dosage on this one.

get your parents to make you an appointment with the doctor, it's probably your medication, but it might not be, you want to visit the doctor with any unplanned weight loss, just to make sure everything is okay. :)

:p

Watch the food network. That always helps me get an appetite.

Also, use stairs less often, stairs made me inadvertently lose weight.

P.S. Seriously though, ask teh doctor. I needn't lose my female NSG counterpart.

That's bad. I'd say fake taking your meds. Maybe the ADD is a false alarm.

My doctor is a her.
I'm not sure that another medication would do it though, because a friend of mine also has ADD, and she took Adderall (or Ritalin, it was before she switched to Concerta too) and was way skinny. She still is.

I can't avoid stairs. I live in a two-story house and I'm always going up and down stairs between classes.

Good luck with that, Pancake.

Bad idea, Pancake.

That's bad. I'd say fake taking your meds. Maybe the ADD is a false alarm.

It's not.

However, I haven't been taking the meds lately, since I need the prescription re-filled. But I just now noticed the weight loss, and my mom will probably have the meds back. :headbang:

If you've only lost three pounds, I wouldn't worry too much yet - people frequently gain and lose more than that over the course of a single day, after all. However, if the weight loss continues, it could obviously become problematic. Talk to your doctor. It may well be that taking a slightly smaller dose of your medication or switching to an alternative medication will be what you need.

Bad idea, Pancake.

Why? Everyone's seen the picture before.

And I'm doing some serious editing on the story.

It's not.

it's okay, just make an appt. with your doctor, it may be nothing.

have you changed your eating habits lately? eaten more of one type of food or less of another? have you been sleeping okay? do you have any other symptoms that might be pertinent?

continue to loose weight and you can't be the NSG Pancake anymore... Pancakes are thick and fluffy... not thin. Flapjacks are thin... go to the doctors before the Pancake turns into a Flapjack! :eek:

Daylight Saving screwed up my sleep, though I'm pretty sure it's the ADD rather than Daylight Savings. Plus I've been eating normally (normally meaning how much I normally eat when I'm on my meds).

At least they don't put their info on NSG.

:eek: Now everyone knows which school I go to!?!?!? :eek: Oh..... crap....

Well use you as a case study. Well measure how long it takes from now for you to be kidnapped.

With enough examples, we'll be able to find a correlation between amount of information given, and kidnapping frequency.

P.S. No worries, though. It probably won't happen to you. (b^_^)b

At least they don't put their info on NSG.

I didn't put my info on NSG. Not deliberatley, anyway.

Really, thinking about it, How many NSers have been kidnapped, as far as we know? and think of, say, PM and Glitzi. That went over pretty well, no?

There are definitely worse places to post your personal information on than NSG. Compared to other places I frequent, NSG is a church. A strict Catholic church. In the 13th century.

Hmm, for anyone dedicated enough, it wouldn't be so hard.

Fortunately enough, I'm more of a lazy bum, so eh.

best advice.

your doctor may have a different Med that won't cause weight loss.

Most ADD meds cause appetite supression, because of their amphetamine-like effects.


Is ADD your only mental illness? Some SSRIs can help with attention as well. I was on Prozac, however, and that made concentrating harder for me. I haven't been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, but I do have a lot of trouble sitting still and concentrating.

Also, you need to eat things like nuts, dried fruit, avocado, lollies, fruit juice and other beverages high in calories. These will not fill you up as much, so you can eat more of them.

That's bad. I'd say fake taking your meds. Maybe the ADD is a false alarm.

Yeah, ADD is all I have. And the nuts/fruits aren't very readily available, except at school, and then they cost me $1.50.

Dried fruit and/or chocolate. I always recommend chocolate for everything. Trail mix, Raisin Bran raisins (sugar bonus), freeze-dried fruits (strawberries you're supposed to put on oatmeal are delicious and last), any non-fresh fruit could work as a nice substitute.

Great. Now I want to check my weight (normally I dont care).

If you want to gain weight you need to buy food.

Cheesecake I might be able to do, Haagen-Dazs probably not.

However, it's not the type of food, it's the fact that I don't have the appetite.

However, it's not the type of food, it's the fact that I don't have the appetite.

See, I have the opposite problem. I am about 6' tall and weigh somewhere between 140 and 150. It's not because I don't have the appetite, it's because I have the metabolic rate of a hummingbird. It's only now I approach 40 that I've even gotten this heavy.

I did read the OP. So my advice still stands: "Stop it!" :)

I really don't have any healthy advice beyond that. Um... Eat healthy and excercise regularly, and add some protein-rich foods? Supersize you? Start having english breakfasts? *Shivers*

Maybe the first one there stands a chance...

Yeah, loss of appetite is a known side effect, but I had Concerta prior to this (a few years ago) and I didn't lose weight. Then again, I wasgoing through a major growth spurt, so that may have been why... :(

Hmm... Have you tried yoghurts? Of course you have...

What about small doses at short intervals? Like a cupcake every 15 minutes?

Again, I'm just speculating since I have no idea. I would refer you to a doctor and wish you good luck :)

When I was 14-15 I dropped from 175 to 135lbs, mostly due to growing and not eating enough, it's possible, you being a girl and all that you've gone through that part of your life already.

When I took Ritalin I lost alot of weight at first, although as I grew accustomed to the drug in my system it had less of an appetite suppressant effect.

No matter what, I'd talk to a doctor, 98lbs isn't a good weight, unless you're like hella short.

*offers fresh made chocolate chip cookies* :D

Seems the meds arent really working then are they?

Well off my meds, the fidgeting comes and goes, coming more often than going. On my meds I only occasionally fidget, and the fidgety/nonfidgety contrast isn't so great.

Yeah. You got 4 inches on me, and I'm an even 100, last time I checked. Not to be cruel, or anything. Maybe a fluffle will fill you up.

:fluffle:

Beer. Works for me.:fluffle:

Other than that, anaemically thin boy here can't really help. I'm six foot four/five, and weight about 12 stone now.

I remember when I passed 100 lb. I was 16, and I stood about 5'7". I was probably too thin.

The similarity ends there, though, because I ate constantly. I was on a 6000 calorie/day diet.

I'd suggest waiting - being really thin happens to teenagers - but that loss of appetite is a problem.

It'll pass. When I finished university (age 23) I stood 5'11" and weighed only 9 stone.

I'm 5'4, too. I'm supposed to be heavier, aren't I?

About 110 pounds if I'm not mistaken, according to the BMI. But donn't worry, I don't think you're disturbingly light-weight :)



(I was underweight until I was about 18 yrs old...)

Pancake, dear ... 1) talk to your parents and 2) go to your doctor. Now.

Best advice evar.

My inexpert advice: Ask Mrs. Doctor about taking dietary supplements if switching meds isn't an option(if it is the meds that is).

Mmmm, chocolate chip. *takes one*

I'm 5'4, too. I'm supposed to be heavier, aren't I?

Maybe a bit, but teenagers tend to have a wider healthy weight range then adults.

If your appetite is still dead in a month, or if you start looking like Nicole Richie, that might be a good sign it's time to get help.

Heh...I'm mildly envious...but enough of that.

First, speak to your doctor. Second, if you're going to eat more to try to counter this, which is probably your best bet, don't make it lots of fatty, nutrition-deprived foods. Just make it more of the healthy foods, like vegetables, chicken, some seafood, and all that stuff. And make sure it's cooked in a healthy manner too. The last thing you want to do is start up on a path of eating poorly and then finding out you've got the opposite situation on your hands.

You don't need drugs for your different brain. Stop taking them.

Before you tell someone to stop taking the medication that a doctor has instructed them to take you will need to produce your license to practice medicine. :rolleyes:

Are you on some ADD medication? From what I've heard some of those can cause you to lose a lot of weight.

So I'm guessing you have ADD/ADHD, then?

Okay, enough humour at his expense.

Any, Pancake, whatever you do, don't stop taking your medication unless your doctor tell you to stop. None of us are doctors. Most of us know jack shit about health and wellness and the few that do, such as Fass, aren't even posting in here. So, in essence, talk to your doctor, and don't do anything stupid, like stopping your meds, eating lots of unhealthy foods, or listening to people who try to claim they know more than a doctor.

Being a football player I know all about how to put on insane amounts of weight...and then immediately having to lose it for wrestling season. :(

Best way to gain weight: chocolate milk and peanut butter and jelly sandmiches. Tuna is also a good choice.

Your best bet is to go to a doctor though as I don't think 15lbs of Whey Protein shakes are as desirable for you as they are me. :p

Idiot.

Most people with ADD need their meds to work and study.

Heh. My bro had the famous "false alarm" ADD.

How can it be a false alarm? Was he just being hyper and not listening? Misbehaving isn't ADHD.

I guess he was. Except the doctor said it was. My dad would say that they just diagnosed to diagnose.

generally speaking eating more helps the whole weight gain thing.
