My 10 year old ADHD son has a massive tantrum tonight after being told he couldn't stay up and watch TV. (Screaming, running around the house slamming doors throwing things, some of them at me.) Besides his regular meds (Generic concerta), I gave him his appetite stimulant (Cyproheptadine 4mg) this afternoon. (I don't give it to him every day). He had a similar tantrum a few days ago, and I seem to remember I gave it to him that day as well. I was wondering if other parents noticed a similar reaction, or if it was just a coincidence.
