adhd medication side effects?

i've taken just about every adhd medication there is since i was 7 years old. [i'll be 15 in august] i've always been a picky eater. but it seems that the medication lowers my appitite significantly. anyone else have this problem?

Answers:
my guess is concerta. that's what you're on?
me too! (or at least, i'm suppose to.long story, i need to get my prescription filled)
i noticed i got hungry a hour or two later then i did before. and my doctor said that most kids on concerta don't eat much while the medicines working (at school for lunch they usually don't eat much more then a bag of ships and a coke.)
also, when they uped my dosage of concerta from like 36 to 54, i got horrible headaches (And even though i am no longer on the higher dosage of concerta, they believe that the meds might have caused it.)
the headaches started the day i first used the higher dosage.
they are still investigating to see if i'm getting migrane headaches (highly unlikely for my age, but i ahve a family history of it) or if the meds caused it.
i hope i helped!
