Is there any drug they could give her to stimulate the appetite?  Or don't they want to compound the situation with meds?

The closest thing is a drug similar to Zoloft that is supposed to increase appetite but it’s not approved for adolescents. They do highly recommend only using medication as a last resort if there is combined anxiety and depression. Fortunately she doesn’t really have that. I was desperate and literally going to ask about medical cannabis so she would get the munchies, but they don’t prescribe to minors 😭

A minor can get a medical cannabis recommendation  in Ohio if the parent signs on to be the caregiver. If you’re serious about this, shoot me a DM and I can provide some details (I have a masters degree in medical cannabis science and therapeutics and work in the Ohio cannabis industry).
