It is very hard for them to eat on the medicine. Offer what he likes to eat & drink and if there are times when the medicine is out of his system, hopefully the appetite will come back. I don't give my kids the medicine on the weekend, because they don't eat much through the week. It's a hard problem. Hang in there!

Whn does the child take the meds. When mine were on these meds. we would give right at the first part of the meal if it was a morning on and then lunch might be sluggish but some meds. can be switched to bedtime of course not ritalin.

He is 7 years old. Sometimes he is not given ritalin short-acting in the afternoon so he will eat. This does make homework time not so good and bedtime routine difficult. But at least he eats something.
