Well, antibiotica is not an ADHD medication. My daughters ADHD meds reduce her appetite, and that is a problem because she is at the lower end of the weight spectrum.
I know. I'm saying I'm weird and have never had side effects from any medication whatsoever. I WISH I personally had that particular side effect from ADHD medication, but alas, I do not. Sucks that people who are already underweight get it and I do not.
Hey, just be happy that your meds are not out to kill you. I once had pills (non ADHD) that made my heart stop. 0/10, can't recommend. Luckily, my heart recovered, and I got some different pill instead.
Oh yeah, I'm only pissy about this one side effect being missing. In general, I'm happy not to have side effects lol
