I'm taking Ritalin for ADHD, and I'm going to see the psychiatrist who prescribed it next week to check in about how it's working and whatnot. I know she's going to ask me if I've been eating normal meals since Ritalin is an appetite suppressent. Well, I haven't been, but it has nothing to do with the medication. There's part of me wants to tell her that I haven't been eating almost at all because I know that it's unhealthy and that I should ask someone for help. But I'm afraid that if I tell her that I haven't been eating enough that she won't want me to take stimulants anymore, and I tried Strattera and it didn't work, so then I don't know what other options there would be. And also part of me doesn't want her to know so she can't try to stop me from starving myself. So should I keep it secret and deal with it on my own, or should I tell my psychiatrist what I've been doing and risk messing up the ADHD stuff.
