There is a transdermal methylphenidate patch that is used for treating ADHD, and is useful when oral medication is not well tolerated. It is called Daytrana. Methylphenidate is the same drug found in Ritalin and Concerta.
I don't know if the Daytrana patch affects appetite or not.

As I understand it, she says that when she is on adderall it is very difficult to get food down. She has no appetite and when she forces herself to eat she feels like gagging, she says she has some success eating fruit. She is only about 100 lbs, and knows that this could be a problem.
She also feels that adderall makes her heart race and she has racing thoughts while on it. But she needs it to get her school work completed.
