Thomas has ADHD. He currently is taking Concerta. However...

This med kills his appetite, something that, at going on 9 years old, and weighing 47 lbs, he can't afford. Also, the Concerta wears off about 8 pm at night, and we enter the witching hours at this point. His growth is less than his identical twin brother, and currently there are 10 lbs, and nearly 2 inches seperating the two.

Does anyone have any children on ADHD Meds (and his case is probably not severe, but severe enough that after 8pm at night he's unbearable) that doesn't affect their appetite, their sleep cycle, and doesn't wear off at 8pm?
