My daughter is 11 and although I prefer to have her no meds........this has been the best one thus far.........with minimal side effects.  She didn't feel very hungry in the beginning but we take the med an hour after a meal now and that seems to help.  I wish you the best with this one.  I hope it will be uneventful for her and she has great success.
