so, i have a question about eating.

I'm fifteen, i'll be 16 this January, i'm barely 5'ft and i weigh just about 90lbs, i'm also female.
I have ADD and was prescribed Ritalin by my physiatrist. I think i've been on it for about, maybe a month and a half. I've lost a lot of my appetite, skipping breakfast, not wanting lunch, and eating half the portions or less i eat for dinner. ( just a normal sized plate ) i use to pig out all the time and snack but now, thats very rare of me. i feel kinda repulsed when i see food sometimes. my normal weight ranged from 95lbs to 97lbs. should i be worried

I would speak with the doctor that is prescribing your medicine. A common side effect of Ritalin is loss of appetite, so if you are really concerned maybe you and your doctor can work around that.
